"Considered by many diehard RPG fans to be the brightest jewel in Final Fantasy's crown, Final Fantasy VI is deserving of the praise based on characters, storyline and the ungodly amount of sub-quests, secrets and options that pack this 50-plus hour quest. When the game was released back in '94 on Super NES, Final Fantasy III (as it's known here in North America) represented everything an RPG should be and bumped up the standards in gameplay by including an inventive Esper system that nearly doubled the amount of options characters had in and out of battle."
