These games were the first remakes Square released... and the most memorable remakes for many fans of the series too.  This remake brought Final Fantasy V to our shores after all and many fans loved the fact that Final Fantasy VI's remake was faithful to the original AND it got rid of most of the censorship too!  (Younger gamers like me though only got to experience what it was like to play Final Fantasy VI for the first time though.)  Both games are faithful to the originals too... which many fans of the series will like too.  I'd definitely recommend it.
