Description
Final Fantasy VI is a critically acclaimed and popular video game developed and published by Squaresoft. It was released in April 1994 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan and later as Final Fantasy III in North America in October 1994. The game was co-directed by Yoshinori Kitase and Hiroyuki Itou, with Nobuo Uematsu composing the score and Yoshitaka Amano providing image design. It is the final title in the series to feature two-dimensional graphics and the second story after Final Fantasy II that did not revolve around crystals.
The game's story focuses on a conflict between the Gestahlian Empire and a rebel faction known as the Returners in a fantasy steampunk-style world. The Returners seek magical power to fight the Empire on equal terms, and an amnesiac former imperial soldier, Terra Branford, proves key to both sides for understanding magic and espers.
The game has up to fourteen playable characters, the largest cast in the series, with each character having a unique command ability, such as Terra's Trance, Locke's Steal, Edgar's Tools, or Sabin's Blitz. The game features the Active Time Battle pseudo-turn based menu command system. A party can consist of up to four characters, though some events require the player to assemble three different parties of up to four and switch between them.
Final Fantasy VI has received widespread critical acclaim and is considered one of the defining games for its console, genre, and for the series as a whole. It has been praised for its gameplay, characters, musical score, mature themes, and darker and more engaging story when compared with previous entries in the series. The game has retained critical acclaim in re-releases, with high scores on GameRankings and Metacritic. The game has sold 3.48 million copies worldwide, with enduring popularity among fans in the west.
