Didn't they play at stable 60fps (NTSC) or 50fps (PAL)? Can you specify what was wrong with framerate?
Well, I don't exactly think anything was necessarily "wrong" with the framerate, to clarify I just think even a PS2 remake would go a long way in smoothing out the gameplay. The only aspect of these 3 games (FFVII-IX) in which the framerate seemed lacking was in the battles, apprently this guy Ben claims that FFVII's battles ran at 15 fps. Yeah.

Here's a clip from FFIX, I think you can notice that in certain parts it gets more choppy than others, and with certain animations, such as Madeen summon or Flare, the framerate is noticeably faster than the surrounding battle. Not really a big deal, but with better graphics it would go to enhancing the gameplay experience.

Not to pick a fight, but this is a misconception that I don't see happening. The FFIII and IV DS remakes were projects headed up by Hiromichi Tanaka and his development division because he's the one who made those games. I just don't see Yoshinori Kitase going for DS-remakes of any of his works. edit: Hiroyuki Ito, maybe, but I think they'd both have to be on board for V & VI.
