To be introduced to the series by playing a 31 year old game and is pixels and be able to drop 9 hours on it on a day off without getting bored once. This really shows how well the game holds up and how fantastic of a game it is.

Before Final Fantasy was synonymous with 3D graphics, voice acting, and movie-like cutscenes, it was about imagination—and Final Fantasy VI remains the pinnacle of that era. Originally released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo (as Final Fantasy III in North America), FFVI is a landmark JRPG that still resonates decades later, thanks to its bold narrative, unforgettable characters, and ahead-of-its-time systems. This isn’t just one of the greatest 16-bit RPGs ever made—it’s one of the greatest video games, period. Final Fantasy VI opens with a young woman named Terra, a mysterious figure enslaved by the Empire, walking through the snow in magitek armor. What follows is a sprawling tale of rebellion, identity, love, loss, and the collapse of a world. Unlike previous (and many later) entries, FFVI doesn't hinge on a single hero. It’s truly an ensemble cast, featuring over a dozen playable characters—each with distinct personalities, backstories, and gameplay mechanics. Standouts include: -Celes, the conflicted former general searching for redemption. -Sabin, the monk who suplexes trains and wears his heart on his sleeve. -Locke, the “treasure hunter” with a tragic past. -And of course, Kefka, a maniacal court jester turned nihilistic god, who may be the most iconic villain in the series—chaotic, terrifying, and darkly hilarious. The game’s narrative takes a daring turn midway through, shattering the world and splitting the party. This shift, both structurally and emotionally, was groundbreaking at the time and remains one of the boldest moments in JRPG history. The battle system is classic Active Time Battle (ATB), with each character boasting unique commands that go beyond the typical “Attack” and “Magic” options. Edgar uses tools, Cyan charges sword techniques, Gau mimics monsters, and so on. This makes party-building a strategic and personal process. Magic is learned through Espers—summonable entities that not only allow spellcasting but shape character growth. This system allows freedom but avoids turning everyone into clones, as character roles are still shaped by their special abilities. Exploration and progression are rich, with a wide world map, airships, secrets, side quests, and towns full of memorable NPCs. The non-linear second half of the game encourages players to rebuild the party in any order, giving a sense of personal ownership over the story's resolution. Graphically, FFVI pushes the SNES to its limits. From Mode 7 overworld effects to detailed sprite animations, the game is full of expressive visual storytelling. The opera scene alone—crafted entirely in sprites and MIDI—is legendary for how much emotion it conveys with such limited technology. And then there’s the music. Nobuo Uematsu’s score for Final Fantasy VI is arguably his magnum opus. Themes like “Terra’s Theme,” “Dancing Mad,” and the “Opera Scene” are not just memorable—they're emotionally powerful. Few games use music to drive narrative like this one, and the results are unforgettable. Final Fantasy VI didn’t just set the bar for RPGs—it helped define what the genre could be. Its complex characters, morally grey themes, and innovative mechanics paved the way for the cinematic, character-driven games that followed. While some modern players may find random battles or sprite-based visuals dated, the emotional depth and creative ambition of FFVI remain unmatched. Whether played on the SNES, GBA, PC, or the Pixel Remaster version, it’s a timeless experience. A masterclass in storytelling, character design, and emotional world-building. Final Fantasy VI is not just a game—it’s a symphony of heartbreak, hope, and heroism that continues to inspire, challenge, and move players decades later. Rating: 9/10

Versions played previously: SNES (Emulator) Time to complete: ~52 hours (take this with a grain of salt since I 100% the achievements) Overall Rating: 10/10 Gameplay: 9.5/10 Story: 10/10 Graphics: 9.5/10 Growing up, this game was always one of my favorite not just RPGs, but favorite games of all time. The question was, did the nostalgia cloud my vision, and does the port hold up? The answer is a resounding yes. The gameplay is amazing, especially for an older game. I understand why some people don’t like random encounters, but personally I never really minded it. The leveling system is solid but unremarkable, but the magic system and character abilities are amazing. The characters all feel like they can be customized, but still have their own unique traits and are good in their own ways. The encounter balancing and other mechanics are amazing too, especially in the context of retro games. As for the story, it is probably my favorite of any FF game, except maybe IX. All the characters are nuanced and lovable (for the most part), and the game’s villain is absolutely insane in an amazingly terrifying way. There are a few characters without much substance, but they’re the optional ones, so I think it’s completely fine. All the characters really feel human and have good arcs, and their reasons for fighting all feel realistic. Finally, the mid-game twist is probably the most unexpected and epic twist in gaming history, and for good reason. I still remember the first time I played (or, more accurately, watched my dad play) this game when I was probably 10, and I wish I could experience that again. My only real complaint is that there are some characters that don’t interact nearly as much as I’d like them to, but it’s not that bad and also mostly because of the limitations of the SNES cartridges’ storage capacity. The graphics were some of the ones I was most skeptical of when the Pixel Remasters were revealed, but in game, they actually are basically a strict upgrade of the original, and I loved those graphics. My only complaint is the default font (still ugly, but at least you can change it), and that I liked the darker colors in the original better, as I think they suit the tone more. All this to say, this game is one of the best I have ever played, and this port does it justice very well (we don't talk about the 2014 PC/mobile port). If you haven’t played it, especially if you like retro games and JRPGs, you should definitely play it. It’s well worth it. (Side note: DO NOT 100% this game. **** Setzer and his slots)

This game gives you the nostalgic feeling of being 6 in your basement playing SNES at 4am before anyone else wakes up. This version is great and the soundtrack is amazing. Has achievements as well! Hands down one of my favorite games.
