Honestly, I could actually see Square Enix or someone else (as I will explain in a moment) remake Final Fantasy 6 or 7 but I don't think they will do this on their own ...

While I wouldn't expect this, one of the most likely (in my opinion) ways that these games would be remade is if Nintendo made a deal with Square Enix. Hypothetically speaking, Nintendo could trade IPs with Square Enix (and possibly pay Square Enix on top of this) allowing one of Nintendo's developers (Camelot or Monolth) to produce a remake of Final Fantasy and Square Enix to make a Nintendo game.

Unlike Square Enix, Nintendo could (probably) justify the massive cost because they would get two exclusive games that were (almost) ensured success, and a Final Fantasy remake being exclusive to a Nintendo system would help Nintendo convince core gamers to adopt to their system.

While I would say that this is a long-shot, Nintendo has made deals like this in the past. The problem I see is that these previous attempts were only moderately successful for Nintendo. Personally, I would argue that they were unsuccessful because Nintendo didn't make enough of these deals, but Nintendo's management may see it a different way.
