No surprise it's FF VI. Absolutely peak final fantasy. Classic Uematsu soundtrack, great story with an iconic villain and a lovable cast. Active Time Battles and a phenomenal Esper system for customization. Square at the height of their pixel art powers with some beautiful sprites. Ultros, the opera scene, train suplexing...

It's a shame they kind of butchered the pixel remaster. I'd try playing a romhack version on an emulator if you're interested, preferably something based on Woolsey's wonderful translation (son of a submariner!).

Whats the best rom hack to play?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 2 months ago

I recommend Woolsey Uncensored, I think it's a really strong translation that combines the best of all worlds. The Dancing Mad mod was also recommended to me recently as a way to add uncompressed, higher quality music samples. I don't have any experience using it, but it looks like it should work on top of Woolsey Uncensored. Your mileage may vary, though.

If you want the extra dungeons at the end, you can get the 2015 PC version or the GBA version with the sound and color patches applied.
