    Final Fantasy VI is a masterpiece that is still better played in its SNES form rather than this Gatorade Frost looking remake. They thought: "The games look too dated for younger audiences so lets make them look as if they're dated ON PURPOSE like the indie games do".

    How on Earth does making the sprites less detailed make them better? Nobody on the original dev team ever said "Let's    Final Fantasy VI is a masterpiece that is still better played in its SNES form rather than this Gatorade Frost looking remake.

    How on Earth does making the sprites less detailed make them better? Nobody on the original dev team ever said "Let's make this game look pixelated as hell". Pixels were not the aesthetic you got when you played it through an old television, which is why a proper remaster of this game would be to add more detail, rather than taking it away, while being careful to stay true to the original look while not entering RPG Maker/Mobile game territory like the last remake did.

    None of the "improvements" are necessary enough to play this version instead. An HP bar and restored content from the original Japanese version would've been nice too.

    This was just Square Enix being lazy, ONCE AGAIN, with a re-release of an old classic.    … Expand

    I bought this instead of Final Fantasy XVI. Good story, nice graphics and the ability to control a whole party of 4 characters (from a 14 characters cast). No eye-candy graphics, no convoluted story, no action based combat. Pure JRPG like Final Fantasy used to be for the first 10 instalment (and none of the titles after these could beat any of them, and I doubt FFXVI will achieve this either).

    Phenominal game. Great character cast, magical & charming music as is the Final Fantasy norm. The magnum opus of the Final Fantasy series

    I have a confession to make: I have never finished the sixth FF and only played it in the opening chapters only. The Pixel Remasters brought in much needed quality of life changes that allowed me to play through this game: quick save, increased experience points, ability to turn off random encounters, etc that prevented me from playing it thoroughly in the past.

What we have here is one of the best FF there is. Ironic that almost 30 years onward, FF is renowned for its incredible graphics and audio. Here, you can see all the innovations that are still being used today in its purest form. Lo and behold, it is an incredible game, with incredible characters and storyline that moves you. No wonder this game is so revered until now. It is a breakthrough game that cements FF as the king of RPG and made it one of the top games during the SNES era.… Expand
