Do I think VI is great? Yes.

Is it my favorite? No.

I think it has one of the best stories in the series. The music was really good, and disagreeing with Bolivar (which I AM allowed to do here, k?! ) I thought the ATB was actually really good. Not X-2 good, but good. I liked having the ATB constantly running (on Active), which in others even when Active is on the bar will stop as actions are executed.

VI was actually really fun for me. I've played it bunches of times but I have yet to actually "replay" it. I've only beat it once, but I have started the game like fifteen times.

Yes, various elements of the game can be exploited such as the esper system and even the Vanish/Doom trick. But I enjoy micromanagement dealing with my characters, (that's like the only reason I play Final Fantasy Tactics.) and I like to see growth.

Plus, the game was beautiful to look at, especially enemies in-battle images. And even still, it's a great addition to any GBA/DS library in my opinion. A great RPG on the go.

I don't know that it's overrated, because I only hear people talk about it here, whereas I think VII is overrated and I hear about it everywhere. But then again I know someone's going to bitch about that too, so I'll stop talking about that now.

I'd probably give the game an B+. It's not perfect, but I mean come on, it's from 1994 and it's now 2008. It did it's job and added its worth to the series (see VIII's Junctioning System, IX's Ability System.)

I think I'm going to go play VI now. Well, maybe after I finish IV-DS. :rolleyes2
