I adore the remake of III, I think it's one of the best examples of how to turn an old game into something fresh and new while retaining all the important parts. Instead of four nameless random things you get actual characters! And seriously... that opening FMV is incredible.

I'd recommend the GBA remakes of V and VI, they're much improved from their PS1 counterparts. Then again, I'm hoping for 3DS remakes at this point...

Muahaha, you do have a valid point about FFXIII. Actually, as a surprise for the concert, they did play a couple songs from it. I was able to enjoy the songs without screaming something about linearity into the crowd, yay for politeness!
