Played the Pixel Remaster. This is probably the most Final Fantasy game ever made. Personally, I like FF VII more, but I cannot deny the timelessness of this entry in the series.

Played the pixel remaster version. Compared to the OG FFVII, this entry in the franchise follows a more direct approach in the overall game design. This means that the lack of mini games and earlier access to the quality of life features such as free roaming in the open world, make it easier to advance in the game and better follow up the story. Although I love VII's story much more, I can't deny the fact that FFVI provides a smoother and unpuzzled experience.

I'm a bit of an idiot :D I played the game without using one of the fundamental mechanics (learning skills by equipping espers) because I simply overlooked that mechanic. I actually found the game very nice, but not nearly as good as everyone said. Especially the dungeon design was pretty irritating and random encounters are always annoying (but I wouldn't blame an almost 30 year old game for that)...and honestly guys, Kefka isn't the coolest villain since the invention of the clown mask^^ but I think I'll take another look at it with the pixel remaster, the characters were very cool and interesting.

Final Fantasy VI (1994): Mi gran error ha sido jugarlo conociendo todo lo que viene después. Imagino que en su día la gente fliparía, pero hay TANTA diferencia de calidad respecto al VII (y no digo en lo técnico), que hasta me parece injusto compararlos (8,05)

Edit: Tras jugar todos los anteriores y otros JRPG previos a 1994, debo reconocer el grandísimo salto que dio, y reconocerlo como un gran juego. Ahora bien, lo de que está a años luz de FFVII me sigue pareciendo tan indiscutible como que el sol sale por la mañana.


a solid if overrated entry in the series

I hope you played with mods.

Juegazo histórico. Necesita que le den mas atención y cariño asap

No me malentendáis, es probablemente el mejor FF de la franquicia, pero el destrozo que hicieron con esta versión es imperdonable. Menos mal que han sacado la Pixel remastered para compensarlo...

Kefka é um dos vilões mais memoráveis da franquia. O que eu mais odeio, pelo menos.

I'm gonna pretend it's a 3 star because of the ugly port and not because I have a bad opinion about Final Fantasy VI.

La versión poronguera del segundo mejor Final Fantasy que por suerte ya no existe. ¡Un hurra por la quema de la bruja!

ProJared is spinning in his grave since they didn't resurrect him to voice Locke in this installment. A real missed opportunity to bring back his original VA in an otherwise fantastic remake.
