The Final Fantasy series, probably the most popular RPG gaming series of all time! When it comes down to the series most popular games, most people either say Final Fantasy VII Or VI, and I can see why. These two are two of the best games ever made. They play so well and sound and look fantastic. I'm going to focus on Final Fantasy VI for this review. And without further ado, here is dazzsheils Final Fantasy VI Review. Final Fantasy VI was released on the Super Famicom in 1994 and later that year in the EU and North America for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was produced and developed by SQUARESOFT's A-team. Overseas, it was renumbered Final Fantasy III so that it would not confuse players as the Final Fantasy series overseas was missing some sequels (Final Fantasy II, III, and V). (REVIEWERS NOTE: This a Review of the Wii Virtual Console game, which is practically identical to the SNES Version)
The Graphics
This game looks amazing even by 1994 standards. The characters somehow can exude so much emotion out of their small 30 pixels and for the Super Nintendo, that is amazing. The animations are top notch and the environment's vary from typical medieval towns to a rustling, modernised castle in the City of Vector. Mode 7 is used quite a bit in this game from the view when you're on a chocobo to when you're in Stezers airship.
The Sound
One of the greatest soundtracks on the Super Nintendo. Nabou Uematsu is a master of composing music and never lets down and this is quite possibly his best score yet. Here is a link to the best song in the game:

Addictiveness
This game is an RPG, so expect a lot of things to do, but not too many things. You'll mostly be attracted to the 40-60 hour story, which while it is long, it's just the only real thing to do in FF VI.
The Story
Final Fantasy VI Has the greatest story of any video game ever made. I cried during some of the most heart warming scenes like the one in the opera house or where Locke and Celes' confess their love for each other. It is the master of character and plot development. I'm not going to spoil it for you, just go play it yourself!
Difficulty
I'm only gonna write one word for this: hard. Maybe it's because I'm bad at RPGS but, nevertheless, it's VERY hard.
Play this game now! Download it off the Wii Shop! It's only 900 points!!!!!!!!!!!!
FINAL SCORE: 10/10
