I don't think anyone's clamoring for a BoF1 remake, just the ability to access the PlayStation era titles on modern hardware, and maybe a proper translation of the first two games.
I had not even looked up who was still working at Capcom, so this just makes me even sadder.

It's the perfect time to capitalize on a long dormant RPG franchise, too. With the 2.5D stuff being released, series like Persona, Xenoblade, etc, being big hits, the apparent 'Second Golden Age of Final Fantasy' with all the hype surrounding the franchise at the moment. Heck, even Konami are re-releasing Suikoden I & II this year and the director of those games is working on a spiritual successor to that series. Live A Live got a 2.5D Remake, yet Capcom can't package and put out a BoF collection?

The least they could do is sell off the franchise to another studio, or license it out and let someone else have a crack whilst still making some money off it.
