^Actually, a Final Fantasy VII remake is pretty eminent with the current demand the consumers are voicing. And Square has been implying a remake way too often for it to not be a true future plan of theirs. I figure the movie they made to show off the PS3 graphics was not, as they claimed, just a teaser but rather a true begin at this project. The trailer was just a way to test how big they could stir up the fans. Had nobody cared, they would have immidiately scrapped the idea but as is, you can bet on it.

As for a FFVIII remake, I don't see it happening anytime soon. FFVIII might have a big fanbase but there are many other titles that have a much bigger one. Also, there have been absolutely no indications, no hinting, no slips of information, nothing. Don't get your hopes up.
