Probably not. SquareSoft > square enix
Although the main "centeral" character will be the female proanganist, "Lightning", Kitase annouced that they will not be a main character in Final Fantasy. All characters have equal parts as the NES Final Fantasy III (VI US verison) had.
Yes. It was released on December 17, 2009 in Japan and March 9, 2010 in the US.
It was released in Japan on November 21st 2013 and in the US on Februrary 11th 2014.
No, it's partially the other way around. The Japanese Final Fantasy 4 became Final Fantasy 2 in the US, as the original 2 and 3 were skipped. So the original NES release of 'Final Fantasy 2' in the US, was actually Final Fantasy 4. Nowadays, the original FF2 has been released in various formats, and FF4 is now known by its correct name in the US, due to the GBA and DS rereleases.
The first game in the Final Fantasy Series titled simply Final Fantasy was released by the third party developer square in 1987.
Currently as of today (June 2nd, 2009) it was stated at this year's E3 that FFXIII (for the PS3 mind you) will be released in the US in April 2010.
Final Fantasy VII was released on September 7, 1997 in North America.
Lightning returns was released in the US on Feb 11th 2014 in the US and Nov 23rd 2013 in Japan. The rest of the world received the game shortly after the US did.
Originally, in Japan, Final Fantasy 2 and Final Fantasy 4 were different games in the same series. The former is the story of Firion and his friends, in a war-torn land. The latter is the story of the redemption of the Dark Knight Cecil. In the US only, Final Fantasy 2 and 3 were not ported, and Final Fantasy 4 was brought out there as Final Fantasy 2. FF5 likewise was skipped, and FF6 came out as Final Fantasy 3. Now, much later on, the west has had the original FF2 brought out for GBA and PSP, and the original FF4 for GBA and DS, etc. So the names are back to the original format. Therefore someone familiar with the US FF2 will find today's 'Final Fantasy 4' familiar. But it's not a 'remake of FF2', it's just the US version had a different naming scheme, which is now no longer relevant.
