10/10 - This is why Final Fantasy became legendary. Final Fantasy VI is, from start to finish, a lesson in narrative and storytelling. When you're playing it, you feel like you're in a movie. The game has meticulously crafted scenes and plot points, with characters exuding expression and intent that put most modern games to shame, all of this in a package of limited 2D graphics. Don't get me wrong, this is not a perfect game, as it has some flaws that, in my opinion, detract a lot from the experience, but this was the right game, released at the right time. So much so that it forever transformed the Final Fantasy series, JRPGs, and set the stage for changes in the general RPG genre. To start, the music. Nobuo Uematsu has created masterpieces in all of the previous games, but this might be his best work. The music is instantly recognizable, and it fits the more somber tone of the game without losing the hopeful, almost cheery notes of the franchise. Each character has their own well-crafted and memorable theme that helps elevate the narrative and atmosphere of this game. Gameplay-wise, FFVI feels completely different from its predecessors, all while still being very familiar. This time around, we have set classes for each character, each with plenty of customization options that feel very unique to play. Although I love V's job system, this iteration feels adequate for the type of game it is, blending gameplay with narrative elements, each character plays exactly their role (usually). But with many advancements in the gameplay formula, it is still the weakest part of the game, especially because of its systems. First, the game has a very big cast of characters that you'll want to play with (sometimes even need to), but due to the party size limit, you won't be able to. Had this game had the same party size as IV, it would've felt a little better already, but in reality, FFVI needed more opportunities where you had to take parties to different places, like in the introduction scenarios. The worst part of this game, to me, was the Magicite system. It is crazy to think that FFVI brought us so many new Summons - some that are now iconic to the franchise - and, at the same time, it is the game where they feel the least impactful since their introduction in III. For starters, there is no Summoner job in this game, which could've fit one of the characters role- and lore-wise. But not only that, Summons are of limited use and are also tied to stat growth and magic unlocks. In short, Magicite hindered Summons, progression, job identity, and party formation to some extent. Criticism of gameplay aside, what truly elevates this game is its storytelling. The cast of characters is remarkably expressive and memorable, striking a perfect balance between emotion and goofiness. Kefka, in particular, stands out as a one-note villain who shatters the game's limits of expression, delivering its most unforgettable moments. The plot is solid, with excellent pacing and well-timed and executed story beats. The cinematography of the set pieces is breathtaking - the intro sequence, the Opera House, the midpoint - all masterfully executed. Lastly, the game excels in subtle storytelling, weaving in small but powerful details that enhance the experience between some of its major story beats. Overall, this game is a timeless masterpiece, even with its flaws. Being leagues above FFIV and FFV, it might as well be the best Final Fantasy entry, and even one of the best RPGs of all time.

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)

While I do recommend you to play this game, I do have to warn some people about this before they buy this version of the game: The extra content such as the bonus dungeons and bonus espers present in the GBA and iOS/(old)PC versions is NOT present in this version. This omission is disappointing, and prevents the pixel remaster version from feeling like the true, definitive, Final Fantasy VI experience.

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.
