Remakes and remasters are a finicky topic. On one hand, making a game look better helps it to cater to modern audiences. On the other hand, remasters don't always work. Sometimes, an older game loses its charm because it looks "better" by modern standards. Not to mention, some of the quirks of older games are what makes them so iconic, which is why most remakes don't do nearly as well as the original.
Square Enix knows this all too well. The studio has had mixed success with the remakes it's released for the earlier Mana games.
Having said that, Square Enix has decided to go the remaster route with Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster, deciding to give the first six Final Fantasy games a "pixel-perfect makeover". This sounds a lot like "we'll release the earlier Final Fantasy games with updated graphics without changing the original visual style", similar to what it did with Final Fantasy 9.
Given that Square Enix has announced a lot in recent weeks, it's not easy to keep up with everything going on.
