I dont usually give out a whole lot of perfect scores. My criteria is generally just a vague "I know it when I see it". With that said, this is the most I've ever felt that a game was perfect after playing it. I don't think it's aged a day, especially with the pixel remaster. It was an achievement at the time and still stands as one of the best RPGs ever made.
It's kind of crazy. Going back and playing FF4 it's great but you can feel the limitations of the SNES even on the remaster. I don't feel it at all here. Maybe that's because they spent an extra year polishing up 6 in particular, or maybe that's because it's just that good. The only problem I can see with this game is that every rpg for a decade including the final fantasy series itself copied elements from this without getting it right.
This game is like, apocryphal at this point. You've heard kefka's laugh. You've heard dancing mad. You've seen the opera scene. But somehow everything around it just makes it much much better instead of feeling like a highlight reel. I can't recommend it enough, for JRPG fans and haters alike.
