In terms of artistic quality however, the compositions themselves are just grander here. Sound wise the game has aged very well, while Chrono Trigger to my understanding sounds better in terms of technical proficiency. The steam punk environment remains unmatched in terms of its artistic vision, and I can say that in terms of artwork FFVI might be the most unique FF ever made. Amano is a master art designer, and perhaps this along with FFIX is his best work.

It has aged almost as gracefully as some of its contemporaries in that department.

Notice that I am not saying that FFVI is a bad looking game it was one of the better looking games of its time. To Start things off, FFVI wasn’t the best looking RPG of its era, and while graphic prowess should be one of the last things to be taken into consideration, when judging a classic RPG such as this, it is hard to ignore the fact that the Lunar games have aged better, and that Chrono Trigger is the more handsome game. They wouldn’t be wrong either.Īfter playing through FFVI again (now in 2008), I have to say, that I can see why fans of that venerable title would have a case for declaring number 6, as the number one game in the series. It is likely, that a good chunk of fans believe the same thing (one only needs to read all the fan fics based on FFVII in the net to uncover this truth), but alas, there is also a section of old school fans (who call themselves the true hardcore RPG enthusiasts) who will tell you the 6th installment is the best. I have never made it a secret, that I believe that it is either the 7th, or the 9th installment in the aforementioned series that deserves the highest spot on the list, with Final Fantasy VI being a close third. While my humble opinion on which Final Fantasy game is the best, is just that an opinion.
