They'd have to work all the other Compilation stuff into the plot. And redevelop the battle system - way too slow for this day and age (compare XII's to it if you don't believe). And make materia more of a balance to get right.
Not really. There is little change to be found in the battle systems of all the other remakes they have been printing money with. The biggest change is perhaps in FF1, where they went from a "x uses of spell level y per day" system to a straight MP system.

Well, most of the older games weren't remade, though, just ported to a newer console.
