Yes! this is one of the best final fantasy games of all time, and sadly, unlike FFVII (which is the best) it isn't overhyped.

It has amazing music, characters, and story. Its perfection.

A Must-Play for any FF Gamer.

You know you could of put your thoughts on the games.

FFVI is the best of the SNES era, the graphics are a huge upgrade as is the soundtrack.
The storyline is full of Mystery and Excitment, There are a handful of characters to play with.
This game is one of the best FF games EVER.

Yes VI is definently a must play. It was the first to have very well developed characters with detailed back stories. Some of the supporting cast is even better developed than the main cast of later Final Fantasy games.

The story is very epic and this is the only FF game where the villian actually accomplishes his over all goal.

There is no real main character in VI so you can make this game as hard or as easy as you make it depending on which characters you use. If you want it to be easy, use Terra, Sabin, Locke, Celes, Edgar or Cyan. If you want the game to be hard, you can use more difficult characters like Gau, Relm, Stratego, Gogo, or Setzer.

So yes, VI is definently recommended.

VI - one of the best FF's to grace the Playstation.

+ It has great characters, not to mention it also has a plethora of characters if I remember right. There's more than 10, but it's been a while since I played this. -

-

+ Emotional scenes like the opera scene and the ghost train can appeal to the gamer in equal or arguably more than Aerith's death can. (No offense AG

)

+ ATB system, which for me is always a plus.

+ Great expanded world, in fact there are 2 different worlds to explore.

Although I'm a fan of playing every Final Fantasy game, I'm actually going to have to say no. It's just boring. It's an alright game but it just didn't do anything for me at all. Even Final Fantasy VIII gave me characters to dislike. I just felt nothing for Final Fantasy VI. Do make sure to pick up the soundtrack though... the music is amazing. Everything else just seems so blaze' that it doesn't even matter.

I don't think it is really, it didn't make me want to keep on playing. The only other FF that's done that to me is FF12.

Yes, FFVI is definitely worth getting…

It’s not on my top lists of favorites, but surprisingly, it does have a pretty good storyline and an ample amount of interesting characters. The music is great and the game play is decent. If you’re a fan of the series, it’s definitely worth one play through.

For as old as this game is I definitly think that it is worth getting. I think the storyline is great and I don't know it's just so hard to get bored with it. I even think battles and spending hours leveling up in the game is fun!

I think all the Final Fantasy games are worth getting really because they're all very good (excluding X-2 of course). VI is a very good game in my opinion, the story for it is well written and the soundtrack is beautiful. The characters are also great and it's awesome because you have a heap of main characters instead of just six. This game would have to be my second or third favorite for sure, it is very enjoyable. Some of the main characters are dull (Gau) but most of them are cool.
