If Square Enix can actually pull this off (hurrr >implying), then it will mean nothing but good news for the series. After the ass disaster that was FFXIII and it's ilk, SE has been much more responsive to fan feedback, and if they get enough thumbs up for revisiting and remaking older games, who's to stop them from doing more? Now get those rods out of your butts and be happy, I mean - it could have been a port to the iOS for Chrissake, and that would have been good cause to be upset.
FF6 will never get a proper remake because Japan hates it. MQ will never get a proper remake because EVERYONE ELSE BUT ME hates it.
FF2 had a remake on the PSP, so I'm not going to count it, but damned if I wouldn't take another on a platform I actually own (or just port the PSP one to Steam since IIRC that one's pretty good).
So, again, why should I care about FFVII getting a remake? The games I really want to see remade/sequelized/reimagined/EVEN JUST LOCALIZED? They're far behind Square-Enix and have no chance in hell to get remade.
And that goes DOUBLE for Enix because I want a unified revisit of the Soul Blazer/IoG/Terranigma trilogy more than anything else.

That being said, I'm still going to pick it up - I didn't like VII for various reasons, and maybe the remake will actually be something I'm interested in. It'll bridge the universe closer to the expanded universe, and their own storytelling is already done so they can polish that up. Plus, a much improved translation will be very, VERY welcome.
