Still the best one.

this game is a materpice

TLDR: This is a mixed/positive review. The game can be a drag to play through in the first half. It has not aged well. However, its 2nd half is a great game with great story telling.

What this game has done well:
1. The premise and world is probably the darkest out of all the FFs I have seen. Kefka, the villain is a victim himself of the warmongering ambitions of the dictator emperor. Mind control, war crimes, betrayal, slavery, experimentation of an entire species are all themes that are prevalent in FF6.
2. FF6, with all its flaws, is worthy of an FF title unlike some of the really divisive titles after FFX with poor writing that accompanies terrible, simplistic, and forgettable themes.
3. Music is dark and FF worthy.
4. Many Characters means a large list of abilities to explore and play around.
5. The theme of standing back up after a devastating event is relatable in modern day.
6. The game accelerates and gets a lot better and more intense late game, despite its slow and boring start. 7. The art direction in the gallery is beautiful.

What FF6 does poorly
1. Slow pacing of early story - there is nothing really excitable in the series of events until the "banquet" event.
2. heavy grind (check out Gau Bible to see how much grind)
3. Too many characters need to grind out skills base on enemy encounter and battles (lore, Dance) though the skills are pretty interesting. Too many characters (14 in total) need to level and gain AP. It feels grindy even with 4x boost. Though one may argue to use only a few of them, the game routine requires usage of some of the non-trained characters.
4. Some of the characters have some of the worst designed skill kit in the entire FF universe (like Setzer who can cause instant death to his own party).
5. The game basically only "begins" in the 2nd half.

Overall, FF6 has very good themes and a good villain. The 2nd half of the game is particularly emotional with real consequences for certain characters depending on the player's actions then. However, the pacing and gameplay does not hold up to modern games that have improved on many aspects of gaming. Getting through the first half is a slog, but if one is able to reach the 2nd half, the game will be much more interesting and well worth the time invested.

Hype almost killed this game, but I can fully understand why some would regard this as the best FF in the series. It is epic. It is beautiful. It is FF.
