Not like SE is riding on a high Dhalmel mount anyway. We see the demand of a remaster and console port very high.
As I've stated elsewhere, I strongly support and hope for a remaster. I really don't know about console ports though. It helps with player counts but IMHO consoles have never been well suited to MMOs. MMOs usually have too many commands to be manageable with a controller (I don't know how anyone does/did it in this game TBH), and you end up needing a keyboard and/or mouse anyway for communication. And consoles tend to introduce limitations in the long term over an always-upgradable platform like the PC. FFXIV got around this by making PC the main platform, and they can drop and add platforms as they become obsolete/get introduced.

PS2 limitations were a meme for FFXI before most people even knew what memes were.
