Ratings and reviews

I want to love the game but I can't! The remaster looks awesome and the return to old-school FF6 is just what I wanted! The new features are awesome and make the game feel more modern while allowing it to feel like the original game. BUT I can't play for more than 5-10 minutes without it crashing! The crashes are normally when there is a screen transition but in places like Figaro Castle, you're transitioning between screens a dozen times just to get to the rooms you need to. Very frustrating!

I've played about an hour or two so far but I'm going to get a refund because I cannot stand the controls, why oh why is there not controller support? It would make this a much more enjoyable experience, the tap controls sometimes work but getting through doors is impossible so I'm constantly switching between tap controls and the move wheel, other than the awful controls this game looks amazing and sounds great too, the difference between this and the 1994 version is insane!

I previously wrote a negative review here talking about the lack of gamepad support, which is honestly a deal breaker for me. Well, they finally added it, but I wish they did it on release, hence the 4 stars. I also wish it had the bonus content in the GBA version because as far as I know, it doesn't. Problems aside, it's still Final Fantasy VI--a beautiful game that still holds up 30 years later.
