I think this part of Final Fantasy if not the best, but one of the best. Story is full of different events, from some fairy tale, to very depressive, yet one of them can be avoided. This game is a great example for shoving sometimes dark and depressind story with so simple graphics.

Combat is good due to all 14 playable characters. Some of them is unlockable if explore Narsche and location from second part of game. Each character have individual special command, Edgar have mechanical weapons, unbreakable and not consuming anything. Also has a secret with chainsaw in Zozo location. One character here can mimic literally every attack. For example if you want to use summon of some character and want mimic guy(or girl, its unknown) to repeat that attack, just choose character you want to mimic first. Sabin have strong martial arts and even can strike powerful unique atack with ~1/16 rate in critical situation. Shadow has powerful throw attacks, ye he complicated to recruit, but it worth it.

Some optional content also exists here, some magicite, some optional party members. Even some optional bosses.

I have been returning to this game periodically for 2 years, partially completing it. I own 2 steam versions(yes old with shitty graphics) and that pixel remaster. And this game won't maked me to abandon it or disappoint in some way.

So I gonna say that FF 6 is a my personal masterpiece, as a jrpg and just as game.
