    A jóia entre as diversas jóias criadas pela Square. Seja em enredo, gameplay, personagens ou trilha sonora esse título se sobressai em tudo.

    Ele é a apenas a jóia mais bela feita pela Square, até hoje nada foi feito pela desenvolvedora ou por outros produtores que tenha superado oque pra mim é junto com Chrono Trigger os melhores JRPGs já feitos.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Este juego me ha parecido un gran jrpg en general. En todos sus puntos logra sobresalir, la banda sonora se me ha hecho ya icónica con escucharla, el pixelart es hermoso, el gameplay es interesante (el hecho de que casitodos los personajes pudieran aprender cualquier magia hizo que el jefe final fuera un espectáculo de fuegos artificiales con la magia "Artema"), y la historia (sobretodo antes del cataclismo) y los personajes me parecieron muy bien desarrollados e interesantes. Algo de lo que me quejaría es el sistema de subida de niveles, no por la repartición de experiencia, sino por el mero hecho de que para subir las estadísticas de cada personaje aparte de la vida, el pm y la defensa, se requieren de espers, lo cual como extra estaría bien pero como medida principal para subir las estadísticas me pareció un poco frustrante al ver que mis personajes tienen level 40 y recién me dí cuenta de que existía esa mecánica, por lo que no los potencié al máximo. Habría estado mejor como una mecánica secundaria para subir estadísticas y que cuando un personaje subiera de nivel aumentaran de forma natural algunas dependiendo del personaje sin usar los espers. La historia también flojea un poco en la segunda mitad, y no porque sea mala, al contrario, sino porque no se profundizó tanto como la primera mitad además de que kefka hasta el final no hace aparición en persona como tal. Dicen además que kefka es un gran villano, y es uno muy bueno, pero le faltó algo más de desarrollo y profundidad, cosa que hicieron mejro con sephiroth en el Final Fantasy VII. Por lo demás es un gran jrpg y entiendo porqué es tan idolatrado y amado por la comunidad. No lo considero personalmente una obra maestra del gaming, pero sí que me gustó bastante y lo rejugaría en otra versión tiempo después. Le pondría un 8.5, pero solo deja metacritic poner 8 o 9, así que le pondré un 8, un juego muy bueno y destacable, pero que no llega a sobresalir en todos sus apartados (en la mayoría si). Altamente recomencado.… Expand

    . 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?    … Expand

    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!

    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.… Expand

    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.    … Expand

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.… Expand

    In 1994 the fresh gameplay ideas Final Fantasy 6 brought to the RPG genre, coupled with the highly enjoyable story, brilliant ensemble cast and stirring score would have made the game an easy, trailblazing Eurogamer 10. It's either a remarkable testament to the original development team's vision and skill, or a damning indictment of a genre that this is so very nearly the case thirteen years on.
