I’ve played a gazillion games in my life, but only a handful have held a special place in my heart. And even fewer were from old-school consoles. Squaresoft’s Final Fantasy VI (Final Fantasy III in the United States) is one such game.
Here are six reasons I love this game.

The world: Every Final Fantasy world is unique in its own right. While my favorite is still the world of FFVII, FFVI’s world is still a classic with medieval and steampunk influences.
The characters: No other Final Fantasy has had such an amazing cast of diverse characters with deep heart-felt backstories. In our opinion, this is FFVI’s greatest strength.
The gameplay: Once you get used to it, FFVI is ridiculously easy to play. Squaresoft has always catered to fans when it comes to gameplay.
The building options: When I say building options, I mean building up the characters. While they all have their own special attacks, you can use Espers to customize their strengths.
The Espers: There are a whole lot of Espers to choose from once you’ve collected all these magical beings. And they bring more than just power. You can learn magic and become faster, stronger, and more agile because of them.
The story: Because of the diverse cast, FFVI has tons of stories to tell. From tragedy to romance, to sibling rivalry, to more mature themes such as child abandonment, and mind control, you name it, FFVI has it.
