FFVI is, for someone who played it only recently, a good game. For me, it is a victim of overhype. People built it up constantly for years, and when I finally actually finished the game... it just didn't seem "all that". The biggest letdown for me was the opera scene, which I found boring. I've seen that song peformed live and found it amazing, but the sound quality back then is so poor compared to what it was just shortly afterwards that I struggled to be captured by it. When playing FFVI on the bus, I would often fall asleep. Compare that to FFIX which I'm playing now and I'm actually really enjoying it now that I've gotten far enough into the game.

I still enjoyed FFVI, don't get me wrong, but everything that people built up as amazing parts of the game didn't meet the hype for me. Well, okay, Ultros did. What I loved about FFVI: Ultros, Edgar, Sabin, Celes, Umaro throwing people around, General Leo, the amusing humour. Kefka was a good villain, too. I enjoyed the battle system for the most part.
