I don't know if this is a generational thing (I'm nearing my mid-30s) or what, but to hear FFVI described as "underrated" or just "pretty well-known" is so weird to me. In my circles it's always been considered the best Final Fantasy and the best 16-bit JPRG (or maybe second-best behind Chrono Trigger), maybe the best JPRG ever. Even though it's definitely exceptional, if I'm being honest I've always thought of it as a little overrated!
- boomboomsubban 5y agoI'm of the same generation, and though I agree that in some circles it's widely praised as the best Final Fantasy in the mainstream it's extremely overshadowed by VII. It makes sense, VII sold about six times more copies than VI in the US
- owlninja 5y agoI am in the same generation and have been replaying a lot of the SNES classics, but I have to say - random encounters are absolutely infuriating sometimes. Chrono Trigger has really become my favorite for never having those.

- thoms_a 5y agoThe story and characters are phenomenal, but random battles are cancer. That's where Chrono Trigger wins IMO. Sticking with random battles was an absurd decision which I never understood, and the momentum lasted way, way too long at square. There is nothing wrong with turn based combat, but structured encounters with meaning always beat infuriating RNG encounters that are there just to run out the clock so they can claim a "40h experience". Did I mention I hate random battles?
