...You're not really listening, here.
Final Fantasy Anthology and Chroncles were released even before Origins, which if you want to make the argument was the first actual "remake" in the series because it completely revamped the interface (and magic systems) of the first two Final Fantasies, even if they were sold together.
The difference between an enhanced port and a remake is not subjective. Final Fantasy 5 and FF6 being released in Final Fantasy Anthology in 1999 does not qualify as a remake. Those were ports with bad CGI tacked onto them.
If we accept your logic as true, we never should have seen an FFIV remake, because that was released as a port with CGI on Chronicles. But that's not true, right? We got an actual remake of that this year.
FFV is next in line.
