Why does everyone think we're going to see a remake anytime soon? Square hasn't done that many FF remakes thus far. What they've done a lot of is ports, and we aren't talking ports here. This is how many FF's were remade:
Final Fantasy (GBA, PSP)
Final Fantasy II (GBA, PSP)
Final Fantasy III (DS)
Final Fantasy IV (DS)
They were done in chronological order also. Now going by what we know, the following two remakes will be next:
Final Fantasy V (Likely on the DS)
Final Fantasy VI (Likely on the DS)
Considering that we don't even have confirmation or any info on an FF V remake, why would we have any on FF VII? Do I think it's coming? Yup. Do I think it's coming in this lifecycle of consoles and handhelds? Nope. Better odds say a next generation handheld will get it based on the trend of the remakes all being on handhelds, the continuation of Square putting more and more support behind handhelds, and their rise in popularity in Japan. The most educated guess I can make on an FF VII remake would be either the next Nintendo or Sony handheld. Anything else is nothing more than blind hope/guessing.
