Because then you can capture on nostalgia of the original without cheapening it. Lets face it, magically dreaming up some event even on par with Kefka destroying the world in the characters lifetime is going to make it seem less like the most epic story that ever happened to the planet and more like a piece of fanfiction.

If you place it far into the future every reference to the events of the past or people who participated in them is a delicious little treat fans of the original FF6. Not only that it will be able to target a much larger audience who may not have played FF6. (And hopefully go back and play it after.)

A good story always leaves you wanting more of the characters. But just think of the old addage, Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it. If the story had closure then it probably isn't the best idea to open it up again.
