Obvious answer -

 

Judging from the NGP's Specs, we will see it on the NGP.

3DS will (Should) get FFV and FFVI. NGP should get VII, VII and IX.

Although in my opinion, the only one of all of them that actually NEED the Remake, is VII.

If they remake Final Fantasy 6, 7 and 8, they would satisfy about 99% of longtime FF fans. It won't happen though =(

I just want 6 and 7 myself. I haven't bought an SE game in a while, but I'd get those day 1.

FFV and FFVI on 3DS are pretty much guaranteed at this point, FFV would've probably already been on DS had FF Gaiden not flopped and piracy not exploded the past 2 years on the system.  

FFVII-IX are iffier, and considering the budgets likely involved I think they'd be multiplatform if they happened.  FFVII especially, it'd sort of demand a budget/scale on par with a new mainline HD FF or the fanbase would revolt, and I don't think NGP alone could really shoulder that financially.  I could see VIII/IX being done on a cheaper scale though (and thus sustained on NGP alone, or even on 3DS alone instead).  More likely with VIII-IX though is enhanced ports (like I&II/IV-VI GBA) than complete overhauled remakes though (like III-IV DS).
