A really solid RPG that fumbles hard when you get to the WoR. Fun plot and characters up until that point, then it's nothing but grinding, doing annoying gimmick dungeons, no plot for hours, and party splitting to top it all off. Had high hopes for this with all the praise it gets, was let down at the end.
One of the best Final fantasy games.
The characters are amazing, the music is no sense, they even composed an opera for this fucking game.
And the antagonist... literally god.

Obra maestra del género, tiene un gran roster de personajes entrañables en donde cada uno tiene una habilidad única que lo diferencian de los demás a la hora de jugar. La historia esta bien y la banda sonora es gloriosa.
90s RPGs are just built different, I think the RPG boomers are on to something with this one
Of the very few Final Fantasy games I've played, this is undoubtedly one of my new favorites; I can definitely see why the fandom flocks to this one when trying to call FF7 overrated. It just gets so much right. It's got a very engrossing story, an interesting world, charming characters, engaging character progression and party building, super variant party diversity, deep and fun exploration, simple yet effective combat; this game has it all, and it's easy to see why this game gets the sheer love it does.
The two biggest knocks against it are, One: How dated it is; this game definitely feels like a 90s game, complete with extremely cryptic side, and even main, quests that only a walkthrough would know on their first try, and a deadly allergy to quality of life features that many modern RPGs have, beyond boosting resource gain and auto-battling to cut down on grinding, because it's a remaster, and remasters of old RPGs really need that stuff (looking at you, FF10). Two: how braindead easy it is, the entire way through. I never once struggled in this game unless I was actively handicapping myself, and frequently hit the damage cap on most attacks late in the game, despite being deliberately underleveled because of how little I was struggling. While it does cut down a lot on time spent grinding, it comes at the cost of making 90% of the boss fights super anticlimactic because they just die in 5 or so hits; the few that don't are either super frustrating (I hate the Magic Master holy shit), or are, you know, the final boss.

This story quite a few good narrative aspects especially with Terra but it like many games w/ big cast, fumbles the bag and it especially prominent at WoR. I was waiting for shit to just end. Let's wrap it up
I love Final Fantasy VI. It's one of my favourite SNES games of all times alongside also its other two brothers, IV and V, and many many many others classics.
So why I'm rating this so much low? Because this version, as I played it originally on Steam, was a buggy mess that even with the time it took to develop and all those updates it still remained a glitchy mess.
The opera scena is the only real selling point.
Sadly I still think a proper hack rom of the original SNES game (with all uncensored and readaptation) will still be the definitive version since the PS1 has loadings and GBA has the debatable soundfont (didn't mind tbh) and the brightness.
