PlayStation Japan recently polled Hardcore Gamers in Japan between their teens to their 60s about which game they'd like to see remade on next-generation platforms - or rather the PS4 specifically. Here are the results
20. Gran Turismo
19. Final Fantasy VII International
18. Dragon Quest VII
17. Final Fantasy VIII
16. Winning Eleven 8: Liveware Evolution
15. Xenogears
14. Kingdom Hearts
13. Final Fantasy X
12. Monster Hunter Portable 3rd
11. Final Fantasy IX
10. Arc the Lad
9. Dragon Quest IV
8. Kingdom Hearts II
7. Resident Evil 6
6. Dragon Quest V
5. Gran Turismo 6
4. Final Fantasy
3. Resident Evil
2. Dragon Quest VIII
1. Final Fantasy VII
Now, some of these choices are really weird, like both Gran Turismo entries and Resident Evil 6 of all things. Also, Winning Eleven 8? (Pro Evolution Soccer 4).
But to surprise of absolutely no one, Final Fantasy 7 is the most requested remake in Japan as well.
No offence, but what is so great about FF7, yeah it's a great game, but what makes it so different from other turn-based RPGs?
Also, some of the entries are pretty recent, I don't see a reason for them to be remade, except for the nonexisting backwards compatibility (Seriously Sony, what's so bad about the darn thing?).

The materia system, the soundtrack and characters
And all the super bosses.
And the casino
And the mini games
It's nice that Japanese gamers understand the greatness that is Resident Evil 6.
Gran Turismo 6 should have been on the fucking PS4 to begin with. And Resident Evil is being remade so lucky for them.
