Thats quite the opinion, cause me and a huge ammount of fans consider it the greatest game ever made. Its also usually always in the top 10 games ever made.

 Now I have no doubt you have played both games and know what you are talking about. FF3 for Snes? Even if you say you were talking about FF3 USA version, there is no FF6 for Ds or FF3 for Snes. Get this: FF3 Ds sucks, FF3 original sucked even more. A Nes on a big screen looks awful (today standards). Ds on big screen would look better than a lot of PSX and N64 games.

On topic
FF7 is a great game, if not the best in the series. Even so a remake by SE would ruin the dear memories we have about this game. The Square part of SquareEnix failed to create good IPs and ruined a lot of the old ones. Try to play Dirge of Cerberus. It has a good storyline (for FF standards) and the crappiest action-shooter hybrid gameplay we have ever played.
Until SE makes an official announcement lets take this with a gorilla-fist full of salt.

If they were to remake it then I'm positive that Sony would pull out all the stops to ensure it came to the PS3. It would move a lot of consoles, over a million maybe. I'd consider getting one if it did happen (although definately not at the current price).

However I think it highly unlikely it will happen. I'm sure it will get remade, just notfor a good number of years yet. The original still stands up rather well I think so there is no need.

I'd point out the fact that they remake almost every game they make several times over, release tons of spinoffs, and start selling a Japanese version of their games missing content and then release a "remix" a year later with all the added content from the US version but why bother.

Ooh please, dont get over excited. the part about the DS was humour spanning from the previous part about spending money. There is very little incentive for SE to port FFVII to any machine. A DS version would be quite difficult due to cart sizes (but not impossible), but as i said, it is not worth their time and money when they would be using that to develop a NEW FF game that would sell better. FFVII was special in the time of its release for a number of reasons and not all of them would still work 10 years later. 

It was their first 'next gen' game.

It came on 3 disks, something unheard of.

The FMV was of a standard we hadnt seen before.

It came with an incredible amount of hype.

It was the first FF game to get real media attention in the west.

ALOT of people bought into the hype and got bored of the turn based, slow, repetitive battles, im sure FFVII was the first, and last FF game that alot of people played 

All of those things have come to pass now, You cant just rehash a popular 10 year old game and expect it to retain its magic. 

And to answer your personal poke at me, im not avoiding buying a PS3, i desperatly want a reason to buy one, FFVII would not be one of them, ive already put atleast 120 hours into that game, i have no intentions of doing it all again in a higher resolution. 

I remember last years e3 presentation , when thyey showed the FF7 PS3 technical demo . Man fanboys got excited :P Luckily Im far from beeing a FF fan ( not that I dont like them ) .

 Lost tears of Kain for me, you summed up this thread.That was an excellent explanation!!!!

 All of the other Final Fantasy remakes seem to have been popular. If FF7's fans hail it to be one of the best final fantasy games, a next-gen remake would be popular. In fact, that's pretty much the only way I'll ever play it again. I have it on my PC and sitting so close to the monitor compared to the TV screen and it's in a VERY low resolution as well, I'd get sick every time I'd play it. 

Delicious fanboyism.
