Figured as much, which is a tragedy if true. FFXII has a ton of high-grade assets; PCSX2 is showing them to us to some extent. They could even release an art book of the stuff drawn by Isamu Kamikokuryo and call it "Masterpieces" -- I'd buy it.
It's possible that the FFXII assets
may have been kept around - heck, PCSX2 makes the game look lovely, but high-res text, less-compressed sound, a few texture tweaks, and rerendered HD FMVs would be lovely.
If you want a good look at Square-Enix's policy on keeping their old assets around, though... just look at Advent Children Complete. Only a few years after Advent Children came out, and yet they didn't even bother rerendering the original movie's scenes in HD. Pathetic.
If they
DO rerelease old FFs, it'll likely be as basic conversions a la the God of War collection (and FFXII will look lovely, since it already had a widescreen mode and looks gorgeous in HD - maybe not so much for FFX/X-2 or the KH series, none of which have a widescreen display mode). A quick buck. OR it'll be full remakes with modern-day Square-Enix sensibilities (i.e. no more prerendered backgrounds for you and say hello to voice acting).
