Its been 30 years since Final Fantasy VI was released for the SNES console back in 1994. Final Fantasy VI has been widely regarded as one of the greatest JRPG’s of its era and quite possibly one of the best installments within its own franchise. Final Fantasy VI had great 16-bit graphics along with in-depth storytelling with a steampunk setting. In terms of protagonists Terra was arguably one of the better main characters within the Final Fantasy series along with the likes of Cloud Strife, Tifa Lockheart and the Gullwings. The plot involving Terra and her battle against Kefka Palazzo and Emperor Gestahl along with the Empire was one of the better Final Fantasy storylines of the 90’s decade. Themes surrounding revenge and overthrowing oppressive an establishment is what added to the appeal of Final Fantasy VI.

The 90’s decade was about rebellion for the most part and Final Fantasy VI was a game that in someways reflected that. The gameplay features including Active Time Battle system along with players having the ability to customize their characters with weapons and accessories added to the overall quality of Final Fantasy VI. Final Fantasy VI ended up being one of Square Enix’s better JRPG’s from the Super Nintendo era along with the likes of Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest VI, Dragon Quest V and Secret of Mana. The musical composition of Final Fantasy VI was also something that added more life to Final Fantasy VI. The music in Final Fantasy VI was considered to be one of Nobuo Uematsu’s best pieces of work which many believe still stands the test of time three decades later. Final Fantasy VI was a top seller for the SNES reaching over 3.4 million copies worldwide during the mid 90’s. The popularity of Final Fantasy VI eventually lead to the game being ported to other game systems like PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 later down the line. Even though, FFVI is three decades old its a game people still praise today and definitely deserves a 3D remake.
