Final Fantasy VI on SNES is one of those RPGs that just sticks with you. Right from the start, you’re thrown into a world where magic and machines collide—steampunk airships, mysterious Espers, and an empire that’s way too powerful for its own good. The pixel art is gorgeous, especially in those little moments, like when Terra’s hair blows in the wind during the opening scene.

What really gets me is how every character feels like they matter. Locke’s a treasure hunter with a tragic past, Cyan’s this stoic samurai who loses everything—even the comic relief characters like Sabin and Edgar have these surprisingly deep arcs. And Kefka? Man, he’s not just some generic villain; he’s gleefully unhinged, and it’s terrifying.

The soundtrack? Absolute perfection. You’ll hum Terra’s theme for days. And the gameplay holds up—mixing magic, tech, and even suplexing trains if you’re feeling ridiculous. It’s one of those rare RPGs where even the side content feels meaningful, not just filler.

If you’ve never played it, you’re in for something special. If you have, you already know why it’s still talked about decades later.
