Probably not. SquareSoft > square enix
Final Fantasy XIII was released on March 9th, 2010 in the US.
It seems likely, given the success of Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and the cost of development. Additionally, SquareEnix has copywrited the name Dissisia in the U.S. (Search Dissida at http://www.uspto.gov/) However, Final Fantasy II, II, V, are relatively obscure in the US and were not ported until many years after their original release. Even the NES and SNES titles that were ported were niche titles, not hits like FF7. It seems possible that Square is waiting for Japanese success and reviews to gauge whether Dissidia would succeed here since most American players would be unfamiliar with a third to a half of the cast. As an example of modern titles Square delayed or simply did not port, look to Final Fantasy IV: the After, Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis, nearly all of the Chocobo series and Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories.
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.
I believe it will. The trademark "Dissidia" was registered in North America. Plus, this game has been getting so much attention since its first scan (Zidane Tribal and the Warrior of Light). This game will definitely be released to the rest of the world, if not, then Square's going to lose a lot of money. And if there's one thing SE loves, its money. You can take comfort in this knowledge, I'm very sure it will come out in US, sometime next year. - Dissidia is scheduled for release outside of Japan in late 2009
Final Fantasy VII was released on September 7, 1997 in North America.
Um.. the order goes like the roman numbers really.. # Final Fantasy I # Final Fantasy II # Final Fantasy III # Final Fantasy IV # Final Fantasy V # Final Fantasy VI # Final Fantasy VI # Final Fantasy VII * Dirge Of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (Sequel) * Final Fantasy VII: Before Crisis (Prequel) * Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core (Prequel) 9. Final Fantasy IX 10. Final Fantasy X * Final Fantasy X-2 (Sequel) 11. Final Fantasy XI 12. Final Fantasy XII 13. Final Fantasy XIII (Yet to come) There are also the Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy Dissidia which is still unreleased. However, Final Fantasy games are not connected.. I mean the plots and characters are different, aside from the compilations and Dissidia that is. I'd recommend for you to look it up in wikipedia.. it gives better information than me.

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.
Only Final Fantasy 1, 4 and 6 were translated for the US market. Rather than confusing people by keeping the original names, they were released as Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Final Fantasy 7 was released without changing the number however.The names have been corrected since in various re-releases, and the original FF2, 3 and 5 have all been released in english.
