Hey fellas, let's have a discussion about the merits of Final Fantasy VI as a video game. I'll go first:

It's a very good game but I don't believe it's a masterpiece. However, there are many beautiful moments sprinkled in throughout the game (the opera, the phantom train, Locke reuniting with Rachel). The characters aren't the most complex I've seen in a video game, but they don't have to be, save for a few. And there's so much optional bonus stuff in the second half that it's just amazing. However, my complaints with the game lie with the difficulty, random encounter rate, and the second half of the game. Not that it's a bad game in anyway, but one of the greatest games of all time? Maybe not for me, but it's a damn fine game.

The music and graphics manage to stay consistently beautiful tho
