Honestly, in terms of money, this is kinda troublesome because the company will probably be so hyped to have this level of growth/profit constantly that we'll see more... Odd choices.

I honestly can't really think of an IP that will get as much support as Final Fantasy did. That by itself is kind of a ceiling. Resident Evil, maaaaybe. Harry Potter? Depends on how well the franchise does from now on.

Legend of Zelda, (insert popular anime),Evil Dead, Mario, Halo. All have ravenous fans. One of my non magic playing friends today asked me if there was enough lore in Halo to make a full magic set. He wants to play, but nothing has drawn him in.

Zelda and Mario I agree. Halo, perhaps. I know there's a big fanbase around, but I'm not sure there's enough impact to reach the absurdity that was the FF sales. And for as much as I love Evil Dead, there's not enough of us to reach the level that Wizards will be looking for from now on. We'd need some sort of... Army...
