For my general opinion on Final Fantasy VI, check out my review of the SNES original.

Regarding the Pixel Remaster, I think it's great. Its main goal was to deliver the FFVI experience to modern consoles while keeping the classic look alive and it delivers almost perfectly. Graphics have received some slight updates that make it look nicer and don't break the retro feel, while music has (optional) remixes that are mostly great. I love that the game now has Quick Saves, which make going through its toughest sections much more bearable (Cultists Tower I'm looking at you).

I'm sure some changes, like not keeping the SNES localization or the new Opera scene, won't be liked by everyone but I thought they were neat. You really can't go wrong playing this version of the game.
