Greatest of all time. Zenith of the medium. Hallmark of media. Gold standard of storytelling. Apogee of creativity. Vertex of invention. Crest of ingenuity. Acme of imagination. Pinnacle of innovation. Epic of epics. Legend among legends. Peak Final Fantasy.

Estamos ante el Final Fantasy con la mejor historia y villano de toda la saga. Quizás mi favorito es el 9 pero debo admitir que Final Fantasy VI a nivel de historia, personajes, mundo, banda sonora es sublime. Final Fantasy VI es una historia sobre la guerra, de como la magia que se creía que era un mito ha regresado a un imperio y un villano despreciable y totalmente enloquecido por unos experimentos magitek tiene un plan perturbador que afectará al mundo entero. Ahora voy a exponer los puntos negativos y positivos. Lo bueno:
La historia que es la mejor dela saga.
Los personajes que aunque no sean todos super carismáticos por las limitaciones de la época algunos de ellos que son los importantes tienen una construcción muy cuidada.
La música que en mi opinión fue cuando Uematsu se consolido como un referente.
La variedad de magias y habilidades es elevada.
Si mal no recuerdo es el FF con más invocaciones (o mejor dicho espers) y tienen un peso en la historia muy importante.
Mucho contenido secundario que te revelan cosas de los personajes.
La escena de la ópera es quizás uno de los 5 momentos top de la saga FF.
Kekfka es God literalmente, el mejor villano sin clichés, está loca como una regadera.
La canción de Dacing Mad es quizás la canción más alocada y larga de toda la saga, merece ser escuchada. Aspectos negativos:
No es justo meter este punto pero es evidente que para esta época el juego de SNES envejeció mal peor hay que tomar en cuenta que es del año 1994 y los remasters son pésimos, el único que se salva un poco es el pixel remaster. Juego muy recomendado, para mi el mejor juego de rol de la historia a nivel argumental y jugable si eres un nostálgico de los turnos.

I have to say that Final Fantasy VI is by far my favorite Final Fantasy after beating it. It blends story, character, and atmosphere better than any other Final Fantasy game I have played so far. Kefka does an amazing job as a villain, and the cast of characters are largely fun to interact with and feel unique from each other both mechanically and visually.

O melhor título de JRPG que joguei, pois aqui a Square colocou tudo oque tinha de melhor em enredo, gameplay, personagens e trilha sonora.

Amazing game, and a good port. The extra summons, bosses and dungeons are great additions. Very disappointed at quality of the music compared to the original, and despite the hardware limitations i wish a better work were done to remaster or change the songs.

I always think that pixel art has been very mature, so in my opinion, the picture performance and details of FF6 are still enough to see now. The characters' facial expressions, small movements, and micro-expressions can all be well expressed. For example, Locke and Sally's embarrassed expressions after blushing are really vivid. In terms of systems, what surprises me is that there are many characters in the game, each of which has its own unique system. The dog is so cool... But since I learned the creation and automatic resurrection, I have started to create the world plus the soul of the magician, and the three-star ring has no brain output. My personal favorite part is the portrayal of the character image and the plot performance of the game. While the lines of this work are short and concise, the expressiveness of the characters and the appeal of the plot are not diminished at all. It provides players with a feeling space that can only be understood. Although Tina is the heroine of this work, except for the few descriptions of gogo, snowman, and Mogu, each of the remaining characters is portrayed in a very balanced manner, and the characteristics of each character are almost from the appearance to the ending. are unchanged. From the old man to the child, the flirtatious king and the bear-like younger brother, in a memory of the castle, show the different pursuits and realistic responsibilities of the two brothers, deep in self-blame until the world collapses and want to resurrect their girlfriend Locke, who redeemed her past self with the remaining power of the phoenix, and the shy Sharis who longed for acceptance, dedicated an eternal classic picture on the night of the opera, The dull Jiayuan who doesn't understand machinery and loves his wife and children, shed tears in the farewell of the magic train, and shed tears in the nightmare, and Lim, who vividly showed the image of the little adult with the words "pervert, ten years old", hit the enemy behind The old naughty grandpa who jumps up happily, Jessia who misses his friends, everyone's partner who is not good at talking but gentle, Tina who is gentle and strong, Use just a few dreams and the last line to portray the still-existing shadow, the reliable pursuer, the Mog behind the world after the collapse, oh yes, and the cheap purple octopus (how, again Is it me, angry? Angry?). . . . . . Everyone has their moments of brilliance. As for Jefka, it's hilarious and wicked throughout. At the end of the game, during the final battle, everyone found what they wanted to protect, love, people to protect, wife and children in their hearts, friends and relatives, the mission of governing the country, my elder brother, and people who accepted me , grandfather and grandchildren, friends' wings, companions and everyone who went to the end. . . . . . As long as there is hope and something to protect, the world is far from being destroyed.

Para mi gusto la historia no es tan perfecta como cuentan, y de hecho tiene varios momentos tediosos. Muy fácil perderse si no tienes una guía delante y demasiado, demasiado difícil, obligando a farmear durante horas y horas. Gran Final Fantasy, no en mi top 5, personalmente.

Information: . The original game is from 1994. There are N versions for various platforms that are just adapted versions of the original with almost no changes. . The review is based on what was possible at the time of release. So, you can't demand better graphics for a 1994 game. Historical time matters. --> Positive points: . Not having a defined protagonist (it's up to the player) was creative. . It brings a classic RPG experience that for beginners will be fantastic and solid for veterans. . Good sidequests --> Negative points: . Random encounters battle system. In a J-RPG supposedly the player should explore, but the random encounters move the player in another direction. . It doesn't explore antagonist's point of view. Why did he do it? What is his motivations? Ex: Kefka or Empire ways was a mystery all game long. . The larger plot is shallow. The antagonistic side is very bad and only does evil for no clear reason and the protagonist's side is very good and only does the right things. Shounen anime style. . Unmemorable characters. Due to their excess. Example: Do you remember the name of the little girl who likes to paint?

An amazing story unfolds as you lead a big roster of heroes against the vile plans of an evil emperor (and a his diabolic jester). Every character feels vivid and special, with his own backstory and motives. The scenario is outstanding, with numerous breathtaking, sad or hilarious moments and some unforgettable twists. One of the best RPGs of all time!

Bad -can’t feel level ups because it switches your party a lot, DQ4 did this well -Magitek Factory is a convoluted mess -feels like little parts of story are missing, you don’t understand why a character changed -this mine cart video is **** -sad music vibe is too constant -shops still open when city is on fire and everyone is running around, very immersion breaking -lots of people sadly putting their head down and sayings someone’s name with a dot dot dot -people will just say stuff to each other out of the blue, like will I ever be able to love someone, when it makes absolutely no sense and you’re supposed to think it’s soulful writing, it’s bad, I think most fans played this when they were just starting teen-hood and thought because it was sad it was cool adult writing Good -art design minus ponytails -exciting surprises -atmosphere -Espers add a cool and slightly confusing layer to leveling up a character

Final Fantasy VI is almost a cult not only within the series but in games in general and enhances everything that has been done so far. Breaking the commonplace in which the series found itself, the game takes us out of the fantasy environment and puts us in a more futuristic, almost steampunk universe, a model that began to be followed by the successors. So expect to see several steam engines and technologies, metal castles, not to mention the darker tone that the game automatically acquires. The plot tells a world that forgot magic, a thousand years after a great war between mythical entities. Rebuilt by the power of machines, an empire wants to have the power of witchcraft in its hands again by collecting creatures called Espers. This is where the game begins, with two soldiers talking in the snow, using huge mechanical armor to get around and among them is a third person, a quiet girl with green hair, her name is Terra, the only human born with magical powers. After an accident, she ends up joining a rebel group that fights against the empire and its greed for power. This is where the interaction of the characters, their motivations and personalities comes in. FF6 has developed its cast in such an incredible way that it is admirable today, being one of the great pillars created within the franchise and for which it is so popular and relevant today. With a cast of 14 characters with a lot of personality and charisma, there are touching stories of sacrifice, such as that of Locke or Edgar and Sabin, when they take away who will inherit the throne. In others, the scenes are of pure desolation, of mourning. And there's the famous Celes opera scene, one of the most memorable moments ever seen anywhere. And this is not only reflected in the development of the game, but also the combat is greatly interfered by its individualities. Each character has a pre-defined class that assigns them with particular items and accessories and a unique command. Locke, for example, can steal items from enemies, while Edgar fights machines that have special effects. Sabin has blows like fighting games and Setzer uses luck as a weapon. There are definitely no main characters, everyone in the group is important and you will learn to tap into the potential of each, and there are even parts where the player divides the group into a few units and controls them all - one at a time, of course - in a kind of real-time strategy. The game is notoriously divided into two main parts, the first more focused on introducing the world and the characters, and then twists and turns come in and the second part comes in., which is practically an open world with secrets and places to explore. So starting from this act, you need the famous grind, common in any RPG of the time in order to make your team more competitive to adversity, but in Final Fantasy VI it is done in an incredible way, becoming much less boring than usual and rewarding a lot well the player, either with items or even with scenes that further develop the characters that could pass beats. And I can't finish the analysis without mentioning the excellent audio work of the game, considered by many to be the best soundtrack in the series. Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, a recurring name throughout the franchise, it is difficult not to be touched by the melancholy of the theme of the character Terra, for example, as well as the "Aria di Mezzo Carattere", from the famous opera scene that I mentioned. And the piece that plays in the final boss is one of the most epic songs I've ever heard, with a duration of 15 minutes that extends into a spectacular battle.

Brilliant game. One of the best for its time and one of the best final fantasy games. The story in this game is one of the best I've ever seen in a video game. It's incredible well written, interesting and very engaging. The characters are amazing. It has a very large cast with some very memorable party members. The music is unbeatable. One of the best soundtracks ever made. The graphics where amazing for its time. The bosses where amazing. The combat was very diverse for its time. FF6 is not without its flaws however. The randomised battles can be a pain at times, there are times where there are far too many battles. The difficulty can also vary from being too easy to too hard. The middle section and the final section for example are way harder than most areas in the game. There are also a lot of forgettable party members due to the size of the party. Some characters feel underdeveloped. There was also quite a bit of grinding required in this game. It is highly recommended you play with multiple different members and level them up extensively to even have a chance at the final boss. If it weren't for the flaws in this game I would probably rate this game as highly as FF7 and FF9, but with that being said it is still one of my all time favourite RPGs ever made thanks to its brilliant soundtrack, world and story.

Obra maestra. Totalmente recomendable. El mejor Final Fantasy de todos sin ninguna duda. Canciones epicas aunque no lleguen a la altura de las del Final Fantasy 8 según mi punto de vista. Juegazo superpulido. SI no lo has jugado ya estas tardando. Epico.

This game tells a great story and it has 14 main characters. Also, if you are a beginner to series this game is pretty easy (this was my first FF). Great game

Final Fantasy VI personalmente es mi juego favorito de la saga junto con el primero. No haré spoilers de la historia pero puedo decir que me encanto, junto con su antagonista principal. Jugablemente han cambiado el sistema de magias por uno en el que se vincula a una invocación para aprender habilidades y mejorar las stats. Sigo prefiriendo el sistema de magias y habilidades del Final Fantasy 1 y 5 pero es realmente un aire fresco para la saga. El problema con este sistema de magia es que cualquier invocacion que te hayas perdido puede ser que haya algun hechizo importante que no puedas conseguir nunca mas. Y eso si que te dejara en mucha desventaja, por que este Final Fantasy es bastante dificil. Y la razon de por que le gana 1 punto para mi al FF1 es por que este demostraba una gran superioridad en el equilibrio a la hora de subir de nivel. FF6 (al menos en GBA) tiene varios glitches con el tema de nivel, (y muchos otros). Empezando por los bonus que no ganas al perder luego de haber subido de nivel, hasta game breaking glitch por perder en el overworld un numero determinado de veces, enemigos que abusan de un determinado hechizo (al igual que FF4, 5 y posteriores), grindeo excesivo para poder pasar ciertas secciones de la historia, etc... Por ultimo, la música me ha parecido de mis favoritas de la saga, muy epica y suena cuando tiene que sonar. En conclusion, uno de mis juegos favoritos del GBA, lo recomiendo a pesar de algunos glitches o fallos que cometa a diferencia de anteriores entregas.

The benchmark among Japanese RPGs and a template for the next RPGs like Final Fantasy 7 back in the 90s. Interactions and the deep role-playing related storyline was never told in such demand like in this game. Everyone, who has knowledge about the genre RPG, knows the requirements and important criteria of this game category, will quickly notice the quality of this game, acknowledge the unique depiction of character depth and why it's still the best Final Fantasy game and a masterpiece in the role-playing game history. One of the best role-playing games ever made......

If forced at gunpoint, I would still choose FF7 over FF6. FF7 is the type of game that makes me want to play other Final Fantasy games including 6. FF6 just does not have that same charm. The towns are repetitive. 14 characters is great in quantity, but lacking in quality, especially in story exposition, something FF7 achieved way better. The story of FF6 was bland, the villain even blander, like some ripoff Joker. The bosses were jokes too, all super easy to defeat once the right magic and equipment were obtained. FF6 gets too much hype among Final Fantasy purists. If there is one thing I agree on, it is that FF6 is the one in serious need of a remake. Who knows: improve the graphics to modern standards, and FF6 may become so much better to play. Then can one seriously compare 6 and 7.

Tiene un grupo de personajes muy equilibrados con historias, personalidades y mecánicas únicas. Tiene a uno de los mejores antagonistas que he visto en un videojuego. Está lleno de momentos memorables con una OST de ensueño. Es perfecto.

As a long time fan whom played every title from the series, Final Fantasy VI is hands dow the best of the best. A fantastic plot, exciting mechanics and interesting characters, a whole lot of them. There is a reason why Square wanted to remake Final Fantasy 6 first before moving on to Final Fantasy 7. Unfortunately for us the fanboys won out... well, maybe it's not that unfortunate, FF7 was a dumpster fire ****. An while it may have been many peoples entry point into the series, the plot was a dumpster fire with uninteresting characters. I think I the remake will do wonders for the game and transform it into the legendary game it's believed to be.

el mejor final fantasy de snes, tiene un sistema de combate bastante entretenido y variado, cada personajes es un mundo tanto en el combate como en la historia. a pesar de tener muchos personajes siento que me encariñe con todos y los use a todos y ni uno es malo, para mi el sistema de combate es el fuerte de este juego. la historia es muy emotiva a ratos pero otras veces es épica y sorprendente lo que lo hace muy interesante, hay puntos en que solo mejora hasta dejarte muy inmerso en ella. la música que tiene es de lo mejor de la snes, tiene algunos temas que te llegan. solo me queda hablar del villano, al principio parece el típico villano idiota de turno pero es un villano a todo dar, creado por el diablo mismo. es malvado, egoísta, ambicioso y hasta incluso loco. las cosas que hace y logra me hacen pensar que paso injustamente desapercibido por la comunidad gamer. recomiendo este juego a los nostálgicos y amantes de los rpg por turnos.

One of the best game of all times, with an incredibly captivating story, a dreamy soundtrack and mechanics that revolutionized the genre, the gba version was the first to bring even more content to the adventure without changing the original experience too much, it is a game that will remain in history as a master piece.

MY ULTIMATE FAV FF GAME, BAR NONE! a masterpiece in gaming, oh muh gawd this game is amazing, seriously get this game, the story and characters and are amazing, the battle system and enemies are the best FF has to offer, and the villain is easily the greatest most hated villain in FF, and maybe in video games all together, I can't say enough good things about this game, pick it up today if you have the chance.

Not counting the awful sound mixing, this is the freatest version to play ff 6. It's the game we all love to play for hours for the amazingly well constructed world you can explore and great characters you meet(and an outstanding villian). The tihngs holding back this game is that through the secod half the game becomes really easy and the custom mechanics for your characters are so simplistic it's amazing to thinj they were the predcesors of ff7. But still, all the positive aspects and great world desing(both int the structure and looks of it) make for a ftantastic adventure.

La mejor versión de uno de los mejores RPG de la historia. Excelente en todos sus aspectos, no creo que descubra a nada de este juego analizándolo a día de hoy. Recomiendo especialmente esta versión a los hispanohablantes porque posee una magnífica traducción al castellano, y mantiene el aspecto gráfico maravilloso y la sólida interfaz del original, cosa que no hacen las otras versiones traducidas como la de PC o móviles. Además, jugarlo de forma portátil en GBA o DS es una gozada.

One of the best RPGs I've ever played. Amazing main characters with extreme versatility, also some of them very funny. Very good turn system for battling as well, with cool enemies and bosses. I like how the game is split in 2 parts, the first one quite linear and the second one giving you a lot of freedom to do whatever you want. The story is quite simple but by any means bad, main antagonists are very cruel. There is a very tiny point I dislike and it is Gau rages, I think there should have been a way to sort them or put the ones you use most in a different list, because when you have a lot of them it becomes very annoying to find the ones you want to use! Gau is an awesome character but that is a bit annoying. As I said an extremely minor detail, this game is a must-play for everyone owning a GBA or a way to play it!

This always been my favorite Final Fantasy, it never changed since i played this on super nintendo! For a 2D game they sure were able to deliver alot! The story is really great, the cast of character is really big and the development are surprisingly good for a 2d game ! I really love the music, searching for friend playing when everything seem desperate and hopeless, this game is truly memorable.

Anybody would think technology is essential to consider a game as a "great one" But, this is not the case with this one, Final Fantasy VI is probably one of the best RPG games ever made ¿Why? Because basically its script is one of the best i've seen in years, including ones of recent years. Great script is perfectly mixed with excellent emotional moments andmemorable boss batles. Every character in this game has a grat charisma and personality, you care of each one of them, and Kefka is in my opinion, one of the best villians ever This was the REAL Final Fantasy, before it took a novel-based approach 10/10

(my score is 9.5) Final Fantasy VI is undoubtedly an absolute gem of his genre. Perfectly balanced, Majestic in terms of plot and with graphics and sound production at the best, it has all the ingredients that make a game worship and timeless. Dense, grand and excellently conducted, the story can be seen as the essential quality of the title, but it is also a long adventure, a unique atmosphere and a rich and varied gameplay that make its success. It is useless to procrastinate, it is well and truly this episode, combining entertaining excellence, artistic and scenaristic, he elevate definitely the name of Final Fantasy like a masterpiece. Untouchable and unsurpassable. Oh, and do not take the ios version of the game, take rather SNES or GBA version. The ios version is a bad port not rendering justice at all to the original game.

I don't want to say that this is my favorite FF game, because I have not played all of them, but when I played the original SNES version, I fell in love with this game. The characters, soundtrack and story are all amazing. The Advance version improves on graphics, dialogue, and adds a few extra surprises. It was a great way to introduce more modern gamers to this amazing game. 10/10

The Final Fantasy -series is one of the most well-known RPG's ever, and this game is definitely in the Top 3 of Final Fantasy games, heck, wouldn't be surprised if not the best. The story is truly captivating, the characters are one of the best we've ever seen, and the gameplay is pure fun. And the soundtrack, man, THE SOUNDTRACK! Dancing Mad is definitely one of the best video game songs of all time, and the villain himself is just so terrifying that he's awesome. If you're ever gonna call ****, make sure you've played this masterpiece first.

This is square at its best. Old school final fantasy at its best. Rpgs at its best. Wonderful story and a solid battle system. It gets abit grindy towards the end, but its still one of my favourite rpgs.
