FF 9 for me. Its easily my favorite FF, and I'd be first in line for a remake.

That's true for me too, but the major problem is that many key members of FF VII are gone or semi-retired from SquareEnix. I have to tell this to every gamer that does not fully understand East Asian culture, SENIORITY counts. The GameCube remake of Metal Gear Solid has a story behind it:

Basically, if anyone in Japan is planning to do a HD remake of VII, they would need to meet the original creators (from graphics, gameplay - the battle and materia systems needs a serious overhaul, and MUSIC -> Nobu!), and have their approval. This will not be an easy task at all, granted in Western world, the company owns the IP of the game, and could hire someone from the outside to do it, but not in Japan, where tradition is strong.

I don't see the story in the Wikipedia article, can you summarize it?

Kojima had to give his approval on several "enhancements" of his game, such as the FPS view for using weapons.

The Tactics Ogre remake on PSP was possible due to SquareSoft acquiring Enix, thus reuniting everyone that was on board on the SNES release; the SMT Persona remakes on the PSP did have everyone that was on the PS1 release.

It seems to me I was reading an article recently where there was a big blow up about changing the voice acting and finally the actor in question just gave up the rights, because he didn't want a fuss. I wonder if that is a similar situation? Can't remember what game.

EDIT: I thought of it, it was Silent Hill HD.
