As far as I'm concerned he already did this with the Compilation and since the fans don't mind, and actually liked it, I feel he's free to do as he pleases.
I feel you're both just being enraptured with nostalgia. I feel there are certainly some localization and translation issues that should be addressed, and I definitely agree about the game needing some balance on the gameplay side, but I actually feel there are pieces in the story that should be re-written as well (Cid's recruitment anyone? or how about the Huge Materia quest?) course that won't happen or if it did, I'm pretty sure the end result will be worse than the original. It plays fine on the PSP but this whole idea it feels like it was "remastered" is kind of silly.I doubt it. I think Velozer0 was the one to mention this when it came out, but these games look and run as if they were remastered and ported for the PSP and maybe a little better... Like I said, the gameplay could be better balanced and perhaps the script could use a little polishing (not too much, you need that raw imported anime feeling...) and no one would know the difference...
I've changed my stance on remakes in the last few years, simply because I find them boring when their straight ports with a graphical and musical facelift, it hasn't helped that Squenix was releasing everything from its back catalog like nobodies business. If the DS remakes showed me anything, its that its kind of interesting to see the games be remade and re-imagined decades later. I don't feel like they ruined the original experience, simple made them more bearable from their faults but also I can stick to my old copies. I've never felt graphics were a selling point for me, so I'm not bothered by sticking to the originals if things don't go the way I like it. I never cared for the GBA version of FFIV or the recent PSP release, but I''ll stick to the Chronicles version just fine, and play the DS version when I want to play the game with a true remake.
Course SE could always make me regret this change of view so here's hoping for that FFVI remake with an added karaoke mini-game, a new story element involving Terra's moe little sister who was written into the game to sell more copies, and the entire Ruined World section re-written for all the people who kept complaining about there being "no story", hope you like cutscenes cause these cut-scene's running time makes Xenosaga look conservative in comparison. They even gave it XIII's battle system!
