Here's what I wanna know. Considering it's on DS, it's fairly clear what their intentions are (and also considering they remade 1 and 2 instead of porting them, and did that THREE TIMES). But, will the gameplay be intact? With the Dawn of Souls game, they are going further than with the Origins remake. Instead of just graphics and sound, and making a lot of the game interaction much smoother, they are going and changing a lot of the gameplay. That is, the whole magic system will be changed.
So, are they doing that with this? I hope not. I mean, the graphic and sound updates will be nice (they might even pack in some FMVs, they managed it with Chain of Memories for GBA anyway), but we never got the chance to play this game's original gameplay. If they do revise it completely, I hope they include an "original mode" where the gameplay is exactly like the original. Really, all remakes should include an original mode. Metroid Zero Mission for example did good when it included the original game.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
