What I love most about this remake, aside from how good it looks, is that it paves the way for them to remake Final Fantasy 6 at some point in the next decade, which will blow even FF7 out of the water once its done. While FF7 shall remain the most popular FF out there, due to its graphics and time of release, FF6 is widely considered to crown jewel for many older gaming fans. It was truly the first JRPG (which was simply "RPG" back then) to garner the genre a lot of attention, and heavily influence the games that Squaresoft and their many emulators developed after it.
It also had the most dynamic and interesting cast of characters in any Final Fantasy to date, and it would be spectacular to see Locke, Edgar, Celes, Terra, and company brought into a modern world. FF6 was dark, had a sadistic and fantastic main villain, dealt with a world which underwent an entire transformation ... and the story they could tell with Celes' character makes my pants hard with thought. Probably my favorite FF Character.
