Final Fantasy VI is highly regarded by many gamers to be not only one of the best games of all time, but the greatest entry in the long-running Final Fantasy franchise. FFIV was released in Japan on April 2nd 1994 and was released in the U.S. as Final Fantasy III on October 11th that same year for the Super NES.
Final Fantasy VI has appeared on many “Greatest Games of All Time” lists and received high praise from almost all publications that reviewed the title. It was re-released in 1999 as part of the Final Fantasy Anthology Collector’s Package on Playstation, which also included Final Fantasy V on the same disc (FFIV in PAL countries). And most recently it was released on the Game Boy Advance on Feb. 5 earlier this year with enhancements and additions.
There are many fun facts about Final Fantasy VI, such as the fact that it was the first game in the series not to be directed by Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, who directed all the previous games.
