[INFLAMMATORY COMMENT ABOUT THIS GAME NOT BEING A MASTERPIECE]
Seriously though, FFVI is an incredibly ambitious game to a fault. It has a solid story, cool villain, fantastic music and some really great characters, but it's also insanely flawed. There are way too many characters, and the second half of the game, World of Ruin, is a cool concept on paper, but the execution is kinda wild and the game kind of completely falls apart when you get to it. But, again, it's hard not to admire the ambition of it all even if all of it doesn't land.
It's a great SNES RPG, probably one of the best, but it's no Chrono Trigger.
