Well, I do happen to think there was some worth to the old silent method. It gave it a kind of moving book feel, where your imagination still filled in parts of the characters and setting. And, appropriate to the game we're talking about here, the silence combined with the music did give the whole thing kind of an operatic feel.
However, it must be said that I agree that the pre-VII FF games haven't aged particularly well, and I think my enjoyment of VI rides a bit on nostalgia, as much as how good the game is. There's no doubt that it's the best of the old 2D FF games, and it is in many ways great. But graphically, some of the things that happened in it do deserve a better graphical treatment.
Now, as to whether they need to be on the PS3... I disagree. We don't need these characters looking photo-realistic. If you're concerned about the DS' ability to look good, just have a gander at this trailer:

One thing I noticed is that, with voice acting, the script will probably be refined to be a bit more realistic (kind of hard to imagine an actual voice yelling "You spoony bard!"). That could go a long way towards improving the presentation.
My thoughts, anyway.

Id love to see FF 6 redone onto the PS3 and become playable with updated Graphics n wut not. But I doubt that will happen to FF 6 due to the shere amount of characters you have accessable to you.
Although if they would update the game I would fall in love with FF6 all over again. Even if its still the greatest FF game EVER! Sorry FF7. You might of had a better villian but I still take 6 over 7 anyday.

Exciting. Indeed. Further proof lies in the fact that now, less than a full year after VI's release on the GBA, the game is almost impossible to find. I think SE just wanted to fulfill their pledge to make the game available, but after finding success on the DS, has decided to remake IV-VI just like they did III. That would also explain why no one released a good guide for VI like they did for IV and V. I think they're just plowing along for the remake route. IV is already out in Japan and is on the way here, so I imagine over the next year or two we'll see V and VI as well.
...and watch out for your... "nerd fire." I don't really want to know what that refers to. Personally, hoping it's something along the lines of a Flare spell or something. Just keep it innocent, man!

You think Sephiroth was a better villain than Kefka??? Blasphemous! jk. I thought FFVIII just completely sucked, I was sorely disappointed in it. I even gave up half way through playing it out of mere indifference and/or boredom.
