Marketing the game might be an issue, but one that is less about the games quality and more about the state of the genre itself. VII can get away with still being a big hit cause the game has a history as an iconic title, and because of the Compilation and KH creating new fans.
Besides this, marketing games doesn't always work anyway, and is a huge gamble these days unless your name is Halo or Madden. They'd almost certainly need to do a compilation-type dealy, but I know most fans would object to that (myself included).

VI doesn't really have either. So a remake would definetly be something targeted towards old fans more than anything and here lies the next problem, which is that from what I've noticed, VI is a popular game in the U.S. only. Japan ranks VI somewhere in the middle behind VII, X, IV, and III and Europe and other PAL regions didn't get the game until almost the end of the PS1s life cycle, so if it doesn't have the same kind of fans that some of the Sony era titles do.
Plus VI, with its appeal to older fans, is likely not gonna recoup the money they put into a remake because the fanbase for it is a lot smaller (though more vocal) than games like FFVII, FFX, and the like. FFIV was different because it was on DS, and development costs are pretty low on DS from what I understand. But Square-Enix reps have even apparently come out and said that they can't remake V and VI for the DS, that they need something more powerful.
