So after years, I finally gave a shot to the Final fantasy series (yeah I know I am very late), and I decided to try FF6 first because it is considered a classic and one of the best in the series.
And after playing it... yeah I get it!
I love how you have a story that never stops surprising you with all different events and even different gameplay formulas. For a second, you are in the middle of a war, then you have a stealth section, then a Scooby Doo episode, then you have to memorize a literal theatre script.... for a SNES title, this is really ambitious, especially considering what happens to the world and the party members near the end of the game (the scene with Celes on the island almost put me to teras, like YO).
The way you have split paths is also really cool, tho I kinda wish the game did more of these events, where you have characters doing different stuff at the same time only to converge together in the later half of the story.
I saw people say that this is what Octopath Traveler should have been and honestly..... nah, I prefer Octopath's more unidirectional structure (Keep in mind Octopath 2 is one of my favorite games of all time).
I don't think this game does justice to all of its characters equally like Octopath does, even though some of them gets a really great arks, like Terra, Cyan or Locke.
Anyway, the hype regarding Kefka is 100% justified: holy moly, what a cool chaotic villain. I don't think he is absolutely one of the best villains in videogames, but he really is as funny, and deep, and tragic and amazing as everyone say.
Dancing Mad does him a lot of justice too: I don't get how this orchestral masterpiece was able to fit a SNES cardridge, but it somehow did and it is incredible.
A cult classic, that I don't think is one of my favorite RPGs, but it is still able to stand the test of time.

Didn't have much fun with this one.
This game made me hate Final Fantasy 7 lol
Just to explain myself, i just feel like this game is SO much better than FF7 and that one just gets praised for being more well marketed in the west and being 3D, i understand it marked a standard, that is undeniable, but in terms of gameplay and story this games just beats FF7 (and probably almost any other entry, tho i still have to play 8 and 9) by a large margin.
Despite this pitiful grudge i have towards 7, i still truly love VI, it's a fantastic game and anyone wanting to start playing old RPGs should start with this one, plus is really easy, specially towards the end of the game where your characters become absolutely turbo-busted, one of my only complains towards the game (even tho that can be a criticism towards the entire franchise honestly lol)
