Final Fantasy VIIIThe first game in the series to consistently use realistically proportioned characters, FF8 also threw more of a futuristic mix into the old (Hi-)potion that is Final Fantasy.
No they shouldn't IMO. The game is still playable on the PS1 and is in fine shape. It will just be more time and money etc, from Squenix for a game that millions of people have already played. I've already met the characters, played through their adventure, I don't need it again.

FFVIII is history.
The only remotely interesting and unanswered question involves the Rinoa/Ultimecia theory, and a remake, IMO, can never do the game justice.
If they did decide to remake the game, it would still be shallow and the characters would all remain underdeveloped. There's virtually no point.

I agree that it would be pointless to remake the game since the storyline would basically be the same and the characters the same.
But think about why people clamor for a PS3 remake of VII.
I think it's all the same logic. There would be lots of VIII fans out there that would voice out that they want their own remake. (Which would then lead to clamors for other FF titles...)
In the end it would likely be improbable that Squenix dabble about a VIII remake even though if they did release a VII remake, all hell would probably break loose in terms of them getting flooded by requests.

A remake?
I agree on the remake, but I believe a sequel, if done right, would only improve FF8. I mean, make it five or ten years down the road, and have a brand new storyline, not just rehashing the old one.
But as for moving consoles, I say no dice. The PS has the FF series and should keep it. It's one of the only reasons that I'd actually buy a PS3, as it stands.
