Considereing the recent news that FFVII would be very difficult to remake for PS3 (in fact SE believe it would be damn near impossible), does this leave FFVIII open as the next likely candidate for a remake? The reason that Se think FFVII would be too difficult to remake is that there are too many villages and it would take too much time to create them all using old methods, but would this apply to FFVIII which is a somewhat later game that used different development tools?

I think it is ever more likely considering there was a PS2 tech demo, this proves that SE are capable of remaking FFVIII, it's whether or not they will.

Do not forget that FFVIII is either second or third best selling FF game (I forget which).

 

Considering the issues that make VII impossible are the same if not greater in VIII i doubt it.

My thinking is that since there exists a PS2 tech demo and the game was made somewhat later on than FFVII, the chances of it being more next gen friendly are higher.
