@OP, I have to disagree for the most part. FF 1 & 2 have been milked to death over the past few years. The PS1 ports were great since we didn't have the WSC over here. The GBA ports were still ok due to further tweaks to the game balance, and the ability to play them on a portable. The cell phone ports were a neat little novelty, I suppose. The PSP ports were purely excessive. Now we're talking about DS also? Even being the huge FF fan that I am, I'd really rather not.
X and XII are still too new to even be entertaining thoughts of a remake. XII only came out a handful of months ago. Give it a couple generations, and then we can start thinking about whether they're worth remaking.
IV to VI are on shaky ground. FF4 being one of my all-time favorite games, I'm pretty much incapable of saying no to it. But still, all three of these have already seen recent releases for PS1 and GBA. While all could benefit nicely from a well-done remake (especially since the ports have been of questionable quality), SE has really undercut their potential sales with all the recent ports. I expect that we'll see V and VI added to the upcoming release list, but sales for IV to VI DS won't be as stellar as they'd probably like.
Of VII to IX, VII is the only one that I would really like to see remade. I say that because it's the one game in the entire series that really desperately needs a remake. The CGI is very dated, the out-of-battle graphics were ugly even at the time, and the translation is beyond horrid. I don't really like the FF7 that I've gotten to play. I'd like to give it another chance, after it's been significantly overhauled. But VIII and IX don't really need it. Their graphics are a bit old, but they still look good. They're also still playable on modern consoles. There's just really not much incentive to buy these games again.
