They could at least add poorly-designed new content from people who don't get how the game works.

There's a fan remake going on where they got offended by Cait Sith being goofy and made a new character called Iskariot.
You know what I like most about that? It's subtle.

Cloud is going through post-partum depression.
Cloud shares his name with the Final Fantasy III villain Cloud of Darkness, which symbolizes that the move to 3-D destroyed the series.

they keep dropping the same line about how remaking 7 would be too expensive and require too much work but how is that not true for every new finakl fantasy they make
Unlike FFXV, 7 contains women characters, which are more expensive to render.

A team of Ubisoft animators saw Tifa's breasts and they just started shaking and vomiting.

I would kill for an FF9 remake, since it's my favorite in the series.

Edit: I love FF9 and FF12, but they have the exact same problem, which is that the ATB doesn't actually work. In 9, the ATB is basically meaningless since it keeps loading during animations, and all the spell animations are really long. So what you actually have is an FFX-style queue of turns that it doesn't show you, which makes healing a little annoying. FF12 only allows one spell on screen at a time, but characters can still attack, so casting magic against a powerful physical attacker will get you killed, since it will attack through your spells, but you can get extra hits on magic-using enemies by casting a spell with a long animation and having two other characters attack the whole time. So in both cases, the ATB is totally meaningless. FFX has some issues, but at least it understood that the ATB was pointless and just made things genuinely turn-based (and showed you the turn order).

At least on the android version of epsxe, click the back button to open the menu, then click Toggle Frameskip or whatever it's called. I assume it's also called "frameskip" rather than turbo or fast forward on the PC version.

And yeah, it helps.

Because I'm mentally ill I'm going to play all the Final Fantasy games from 8 up to 13 (not counting 11) but the lack of fast-forward in the Playstation 1 games is troubling.
It helps to realize there aren't that many random encounters in FF9, there's really only a few per area. The game is slow at first but later on you'll just wreck everything, especially bosses.

Doesn't really help due to the ATB problems I discussed above (animation times).

it is a truly ugly game and would benefit the most out of any ff with a remaster. i don't even like ff7 that much but i think it could seriously benefit from a remaster because it's considered such a landmark game in terms of making something big and ridiculous with psx hardware that blew folk's minds.
I hope they give it a new translation when they remaster it.

Yea a new translation would be cool. Are there any good fan retranslation patches?
I would also like one for FF Tactics. I'd get the PSP version but I have l i t t l e m o n e y.

Good news gamer - you can patch the PSX version of the game with the translation from the PSP version.
I've never found a PSX translation patch, where do I look? I'll take my answer off the air.
