But anyway, no, FFVI is not overrated. It is one of the best games in the series and one of the best JRPG's out there. What it did well, it did extremely well, it overcame the limits of the cartridge format like very few RPG's ever did, the one world aspect of the World of Ruin is still fairly unique to the genre, and many of the things later FF's get credit for popularizing started there.

It's one weakness is the battle system which suffers from poor balancing. But it's certainly playable and most of the battle systems in the series suffer from the same problem.
