Can you really think of any case where someone has said that something was milked and the resulting products turned out to be good?

Of course, and it's highly debatable whether the products that came after FF7 were good. Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children had their fair share of detractors. "Milked" is more of an intention to make money than anything else, and ride on the success of an established franchise or series or game. That is what's happening with the Final Fantasy series..
What you're talking about -- the resulting quality, is more of a product from the milking process than anything else. Some people milk hastily and come out with rushed products and some milk slower because their development teams are rather large (Dirge of Cerberus obviously had to be built from ground up --- the same with AC).
You're obviously misguided.
