A big plus to an HD-remake is that it remedies how bad modern TV's butcher the visuals of older games. Another plus to having a Blu Ray version would be sound. Many games take advantage of the storage space by putting uncompressed sound on the disc, and I'm pretty sure FFXII's audio was insanely compressed, you can kinda tell by the dialogue alone.
I'm not saying its a bad idea, just not a necessary one. I'm sure XII would benefit greatly from other areas with an HD upgrade but if you enjoy the original and don't actually care or even notice the technical differences then I still say its more of a vanity buy than a practical one.

Now getting someone else to buy it for my birthday or Christmas is another story entirely...
