a few thoughts...
older consoles are nice to have around, assuming you don't have too many cluttering up your home storage space. their games are quite cheap in times where you might like to play something new(new to you, that is) but don't have a lot of money to spend. personally don't have a wii, but can find used games for rather cheap off amazon or at garage-sales/thrift-shops/swap-meets for my nes, snes, n64, game boy, game boy advance sp, and gamecube... wouldn't think that the wii's games, if bought used, should be much different in terms of cost. do this myself, when not in the market to spend much on games for extended periods of time.
as for you mentioning that you take care of your things, if you do think to get a ps4, take note that it(at least, the original ps4 models... don't know about the upcoming pro model.) only has an hdmi port for video, and it's only options for audio are the same hdmi port, digital optical, or a headphone jack in the base of the ds4 controller. only mentioned it, as, it caused me a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to set up without buying anything new(like a new hd whatever tv) considering my lcd monitor has been well taken care of(it might only be 7 or so years old), yet has no built in speakers or hdmi port... and had to figure out how to set it up as someone who's not particularly knowledgable with such electronics(used an hdmi to dvi cable, and set a usb cable to charge a second controller that has a set of computer speakers hooked up to the headphone jack for sound when not using headphones... looks stupid, but it works.).
lastly, the ps4 might be a good console for more than ff7, and final fantasy games in general(have an hd version of the old ff7 on my ps4's hard drive... still have to play it through at least once sometime before getting the remake. seems rather fun, but have yet to play far into it for unknown reasoning.), considering it has and gets quite a few jrpgs. also, even though it doesn't yet have ōkami, it seems capcom re-releases new ports for games more than they make new ones anymore, so it's almost certainly bound to at least get a digital dowload ps4 port at some point, as they already made one for the ps3.
other than the jrpgs, though, it doesn't strike me as your kind of gaming platform from the other games you've talked about around here. though not likely to be a problem if you do your homework on the games you buy, unnecessarily violent, sexual, or vulgar content, though typically tamed to whatever esrb game rating, isn't that uncommon to pop up here and there in games it isn't expected from in a lot(not all, but it's not uncommon) of the console's games even when such isn't necessary or called for(could be a problem if you are sensitive to such things or it could be quite embarrassing if playing games with or in the same room as family.). if the ff7 remake is what you're truly wanting the console for(sounds like you play the same games over and over so it might not be so much a waste if you do play it over and over.), maybe you could wait to see the reviews once it's out and make an informed decision based upon that information. square enix isn't exactly who they used to be back when ff7 was originally released, so there's no guarantee the remake will come out right if it is rushed, or worse, rushed out haphazardly as buggy episodic content.
