“This is the pinnacle of turn-based RPGs. With an intriguing plot, character arcs, customization, and a sprinkling of non-fighting challenges (like performing in an opera), it's amazing how much is packed into one game.…”
“For the game itself, absolutely. Final Fantasy 6 is one of the highest loved of the lot, for very good reason. Memorable characters, wonderful villains, hilarious dialogue. Sure... some of the party characters are…”

“Didn't get to experience this masterpiece in 1994 when it came out (because I did not exist yet) but am so glad I got to experience it now! Before playing I heard nothing but praise for FF6 from others and most said it…”
“Final fantasy 6, the culmination of FF pixel era. For me, FF 6 still hold the record for best story/narrative. Each character's arc is handled better here compared to 4, blurred the lines between main and side…”
“Played every Final Fantasy at least once, but keep coming back for another round of VI. It's the best.”

“I watched a lot of ranking video which said FF6 to be the greatest FF ever, I have done 8 and 10 before and I love them so much. If FF6 is better than them, what could go wrong? But hell no, this game is so stupid. It…”

“I loved this game! Wasn't the biggest fan of the gameplay, but the story itself still holds up so well! I especially loved the 2nd half of the game. 100% recommend for the story alone.”

“As with the rest of the Pixel Remasters FFs they removed the extra content. But in this one they changed names on many enemies and items and left some bugs in the game. E.G. essential bestiary entries not spawning or…”
“Internet memeing might have ruined this game for many, but it’s still a blast. Much like the other Pixel Remasters, the GBA content isn’t included, which is a bit of a bummeroid.”
“Played this game a lot on my SNES and on the GBA release. The Pixel Remaster was a great experience. I do wish they included all the bonus content that was added to the GBA version.”

“It was pretty solid, but having to level up an entire football team of characters did make the later part of the game repeditive. Glad FFVII had XP share for characters not in the main party”
“playing every FF in order. FF6 brings an even better starting scenario than 4. one downside, having played this game many times, is knowing how levelling works. once you know its really frustrating having a character…”
“This was a great game to 100% and to grind out all the boring stuff. The story was interesting but started to tune out after a while. I recommend this to anyone who's interested in the series. 8/10 - But what fun is…”
