Yes they should, but then again I think more "die hard" FF fans would prefer 6 revamped

Or at least I would. by far the best FF there is.
Yes, but the game should be expanded a lot to make it worthwhile for players. For instance, Square could allow players' choices to determine one of a number of paths the game would take ("what would happen if Aeris didn't die?" for example). One of Final Fantasy 7's main weaknesses is its linearity.
Square could also add depth to some of the characters, like Vincent, who were superficially presented. There are many parts of the existing game that could be improved. For instance, if Cloud asks a male player to take a ride on the Golden Saucer, the character does nothing... just sits there glaring. That's weak. Each character should, like the women, have something to say and do that represents their personality. The stereotyping of Barrett could be reduced and the dialog improved.
The plotline of moral ambiguity "what is terrorism?" could be extended and given more depth, as it was very interesting thematically but was replaced quickly in the game with the old "we're saving the planet from the bad guys" copout.
Square should hire me because I could help produce a much better version. The company won't, of course, because I'm not Japanese.
