This is definetly one of the best in the series. Kefka was one of the better FF villans

This is definitely one of the more-often favoured Final Fantasy's of many fans that I have seen on lots of forums, magazines and et cetera. I'll prefer this over Final Fantasy VII any day. The story was superb, and I loved the 2D graphics. Out of the first six FF's, this is top of the list. Out of the Playstation titles, I find this more enjoyable than all except IX. It's a little unfair to rate it with any of the further titles, though where 'Fun' and 'Replay-ability' is a factor, this game would still rise to the top of the pedestal.
I'll never be able to forget how great this game was in its time, and it's a shame that the new generations of gamers, and those thereafter, will most likely never get to experience the adventure of Final Fantasy VI; and moreover appreciate why so many people spoke it's name with a passion.

Final Fantasy VI is about third on my list. It is a great game, but first and foremost is easily Tactics. It has a deeper, more adult storyline than any of the games, plus it allowed for customization in your own characters. The main characters of the game also had tremendous story put towards them, to the point where you feel for Delita and Ramza and their plight in the land.
Second is Final Fantasy IV. I played this game so long after Final Fantasy I and I fell in love with it immediately. The characters, the story, the gameplay...everything about it was so well done.
Final Fantasy VI is a great game, but my only fault for it is that after the floating continent, there is no story. The second half of the game is basically "collect your party members and go fight the boss". I also didn't like the esper treatment. Almost all the characters ended up with all the magic, so they felt much less unique, compared with the Final Fantasy IV characters which each had their own place in your party.

FFVI imo was a very close second to FFVII.
I absolutely loved every minute of this game from beginning to end.the characters, the story, the world, the towns, villages, everything was just so perfect.
The story between locke,celes and terra was perfect and done in a much better way than the love traingle of FFVII.
and this game had the most awesome villain of all time.
a villain who actually got everything he wanted, before he was overthrown.

Final Fantasy VI aka III was the very first FF I played as well. I played it for the SNES. I barrowed it from a friend and just couldn't put it down. It was my first RPG as well. I played and played, but never completed it. Then as time went on Final Fantasy VII came out and I picked that up. It was a great game, but I missed FFIII. It was then re released for PS as FF Anthology. Twas a great day. Great package. Final Fantasy VI is the greatest Final Fantasy hands down.

Hmm yeah it was nice and it was actually challanging i loved even the cruelist parts (the part where you have to wait untill the time runs out then Shadow appears i just ran 
)
)FFVI (III) was my favorite. Ive played FFI, II, VI, VII, IX, X, XI (actually-i quit), and currently playing XII. The only reason why i had time to type this is cuz im auto-leveling. (;
I first got FFVI (III) as a gift, then had to buy a SNES to play it on. That same night I somehow discovered the Vanish/X-Zone thing and thoroughly beat it the next day. Because of that glaring loophole in the game, the impact of the storyline stood out and the contrast of the characters/villians meshed so well. I actually began to care about them. (Laugh-your s'posed to).
No Final Fantasy, before or since, left me with an equal feeling of satisfaction and desire to replay.
The best heroes and the best villians.

FFVI is definitely in my top three. It did have great characters, and it was easy to get absorbed in the story line. I think a part of this was the difficulty and involvement in some of the battles. FFVI was harder than some of the later games. It's hard to forget a boss fight when it took 20 minutes to complete. Normally I'd assume such a large cast of characters would begin to blend together over time, but each always stayed unique in my mind, probably because everyone had his or her own mini-quest at some point in the game.
You could split FFVI in two. The the World of Balance half is more linear and develops the main plotline. The World of Ruin gives the player a lot more freedom and focuses on individual character development.

I loved how FFVI offered such a huge cast that came together beautifully. They all came from different background yet had one goal: to take down the Empire and then bring balance back to the world. (Though Mog, Umaro and Gogo are somewhat questionable.) It's like weaving different people into one strand or something.
FFVI seemed to be the culmination of what made the past Final Fantasy games great into one. It was what I considered the height of the FF series. FF6 was really a fun and memorable game to play. I especially loved those funny scenes. What I'm trying to say is that it was a very good blend though it had it's fair shares of problems.
The supporting cast also made this game great. Also, the musical arrangement was another thing that made this game awesome. To date, I think this game has one of the best musical score ever. For a 2D game, this game seemed to have it's very own theatrical opening with Terra, Biggs and Wedge marching towards Narshe. Having said all that, I considered this one of the best if not the best 2D RPG game on the SNES!
What about the latest FF games? They're good but if FFVI was totally remade in 3D, I'll bet it'll kick serious butt.

I was just thinking the same thing. FF7 is my favorite, but 6 is close up there. I wonder if FF7 was originally released on the SNES and FF6 was originally released on PS if I'd feel the same way. The 3D and 32-bit graphics from 7 were very refreshing and were a huge jump.
But yeah, I think they should re-re-release 6 (like they did with 3 on the DS) as a 3D game, that'd be amazing. And then re-release 7 for PS2 or 3, that'd make my day.
