Will Square Enix Ever Remake Final Fantasy VI?

With the remake of Final Fantasy VII soon to be released (finally, after years of being stuck in development hell), I find myself wondering if Square Enix shall remake any other Final Fantasy games.
Specifically, I wonder about Final Fantasy VI, my favorite game in the series. I know that it is not nearly as popular as is VII, and that SE seems to rarely remember any games in the series before VII, but I definitely believe that a remake of that game would be very awesome.
FF6 certainly does not need a remake, but neither did VII (although one could argue, and I would agree, that its graphics have not aged aged well), so I think that a remake of VI would appeal to fans of that game.
What does everyone else say about this? Will Square Enix ever remake Final Fantasy VI?
It would be great of they remade FF VI in the same way they made the recent SaGa 2 and 3 rereleases. Or Octopath Traveller. The iOS port/release almost doesn't exist in my head. Weird and round chibi-characters completely ruin it for me.
Just sharpen the original sprites and backgrounds a bit and maybe add some lightning effects..
Older FF games are still getting a lot of attention and fan service in FF XIV and in the music department.

Last_Laugh, what is wrong with turn-based JRPG's? I played many of those when I was younger, so I enjoyed them very much.

You misread that... I prefer turn based rps's by far.

Last_Laugh, I did discern that, but I was asking why game players in general dislike them.

SE's shortcoming here (and the video game industry as a whole) is that they shy away from traditional turn based JRPG style gameplay nowadays. An entire genre got kicked to the curb in favor of action RPGs and I for one really really miss the style.
I'd hate to see how little the finished product would resemble what I love about the original. FF7 I'm even more scared for... an episodic game with huge story and battle system overhauls is not what I was begging for for 10+ years!
