[Pixel Remaster Version]
I've been on a quest to go back and play the Final Fantasy games. I didn't grow up with JRPG's but the FF series is such a monolith in gaming I have always wanted to try. While I loved Chrono Trigger and FF7, I struggled with 8, 9, and 10 (and did not complete any of the three).
Final Fantasy VI, being one of the most recommended and acclaimed did grip me quite quick. I knew an hour in "Oh, I am going to beat this game and play it for like 50 hours."
And I did! Mostly because the battle mechanics and RPG mechanics were very rewarding - probably my favorite in the series so far.
Kefka is a stellar antagonist. I quite find his true moral nihilism fun when mixed with all the ambition. The rest of the characters I actually didn't care too much for. If anything FF6 loses a few points from me as I was not invested in the full (giant) cast of characters.
