If Square Enix really is in a bit of financial trouble, then it's all the more reason to hold off on a remake. They currently have something a lot of people are looking forward to. If they give it up too soon, they loose their leaverage and could loose even more fans. Let's face it, a FFVII remake will probably be a disaster. It's been so long since the game originally released that it's gameplay mechanics are outdated. In order to properly remake the game, it will have to be revamped... and there in lies the problem. Some fans simply want the game they remember in glorious HD, while other fans and potentially new customers want the game updated to take advantage of modern advances. Simply put, no one will be satisfied and will only end up hating Square Enix even more for either pissing on their memories or ruining what could have been a great game had they only updated the mechanics.
Square Enix had better keep teasing the game for the next 20 years until everyone forgets--not likely--or remake something a little less sensitive--like FFVI or VIII. I recommend VIII as pretty much every one will at least agree that the Draw/Junction system had needed an overhaul since day one.
