I've been meaning to play Final Fantasy VI for a long time, so when I saw the pixel remaster's announcement I knew that it would be how I'd play the game, and I'm glad it was. The music is fantastic (despite not knowing all of the songs from the original) and the pixel art is some of the best I've seen in the game, with some effects looking insanely detailed and realistic.

As for the game itself, I absolutely love it. I previously heard that the story wasn't as crazy as the later final fantasy game, but I still found myself becoming engrossed in the world and characters. I liked Terra and Locke, but Celes in particular stood out to me, which went against my expectations.

As for the gameplay, I found that very enjoyable as well. There's lots of variety in gameplay mechanics spread throughout the many areas, making each area feel unique. Most characters also have their own gimmick, further adding to the gameplay variety. However, some aspects of combat got frustrating, particularly status effects like frozen. It was annoying when everyone became frozen and there was nothing I could do about it besides wait a few minutes.

All in all, I really enjoyed Final Fantasy 6. It's a fantastic experience that RPG fans will be sure to enjoy. I was surprised by how much Square was able to put into an SNES game, and I'd love to see a full-on remake or HD-2D-style game in the future.
