G4TV: Gamers constantly wax poetic about the Golden Age of the Super Nintendo (or Nintendo, or Atari, or Dreamcast, or any other system, depending who you ask), but were older games really that much better, or are we just seeing the past through rose-colored glasses? How do you honestly judge a game that took over your childhood? Do 8- and 16-bit classics still work in today's flashy 3D world? We put forth an experiment to see if they do. Read on to see how things turned out.
In order to try to tackle some of those questions, I decided to look back at one of the most critically acclaimed games of all time: Final Fantasy VI.
One of the most beloved entries in Square Enix’s long-running franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary and that’s cause for celebration!
I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.
This arguably is my best game of all time out of the 40yrs I’ve been playing videogames

Square “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. We got some news on the upcoming remakes, we got a shit ton of new VII merchandise, we have some other special community things planned and on, check out this cool 25th Anniversary logo specially created for VII’s big day”
Square Enix revealed a NieR: Automata Masterline figure while one dedicated to Final Fantasy VI is available for pre-orders in North America.
Square Enix revealed that the Final Fantasy VI Masterline figure portraying Terra on the Magitek armor will be available for pre-order tomorrow.
I have yet to play her FF game but the figure for 11k and it looks great the amount of detail. If I had the cash I would grab it and possibly the life size T-800 statue and the giant Devastator figure as well.
6 always seemed cool to me. I couldn't really get into it because how old the game was (i know i'm sorry) but i always wanted to experience it. Honestly i wanted a 6 remake more than 7(i dont feel 7 needed one tbh) but seeing how 7 remake is i don't think i would have wanted a game like that anyways. Something like ff x style with pre rendered backrounds or just fixed camera and turn based with modern graphics would be a dream come true for me. But i think it shall remain a dream unfortunately.
Its one of those games 17 years later i can pick up the controller at any point in the story & 6 hours will have passed & i swear all i did was blink! Still one of my favorite games of all time.
Litteraly played it all the way through over 30 times, each time ALL characters level 99! :)
In this generation where graphics have unfortunately taken the lead in expectations of great gaming, only those "newbies" with open minds would be able to play FFVI and NOT whine about 16bit graphics.
That said, the game is simply fantastic. It stands up against the test of time because it comes from an era where graphics didn't rule. It comes from a time where games with actual gameplay and story were what was expected to be a great game. None of this hand holding, dumbed down, flashy garbage that exists today.
FFVI and the rest of the "old school" SNES games easily best todays games. Not in graphics, and not because of nostalgia, but simply put they are better games. Even PS1 games as well. Give me a Suikoden II, an FFIV, or a Secret of Mana/Evermore over FFXIII or CoD or pretty much most of the games of this gen any day.
ahhh ff6, so much better than 7
6&8 are my favorites, 7 is just overrated and over done still enjoyable but not as much as these
The best FF IMO. I hope they release an HD remake.
I remember back a few years, I think it was 3 years ago where I wanted a new RPG. I never tried the Final Fantasy games as a kid because I didn't like the box art. That was the biggest mistake of my childhood. Anyways, I picked this game up 3 years ago, and man it was such an amazing experience.
Eversince then, I've been a huge fan of the FF series. Now I will never judge a game poorly by its cover ever again. It was my most memorable games I've ever played.
I remember when I first got the abandoned airship, and the music with it was so epic!
