I dont remember Square ever saying, conclusively, that they wouldnt make a sequel. I think it was just a given that they never would.

Regardless, I know they go back on things, and it's certainly possible that they'll go back on what they said about remakes. However, I'll wait until they say it. That's my big thing. I dont like the logic of "Oh, Square says they wont do this, but they probably will anyway because..." I'd rather wait until they say so, because the logistics of doing otherwise dont sit well with me.
