A choral cast, a jester turned god and a world that truly collapses: few RPGs have dared such a reversal. The writing, dark and luminous at once, grants each character a wound and a hope. Often held to be the narrative peak of 2D, it has lost none of its tragic power.

The Final Fantasy VI disc within Final Fantasy Anthology, a US compilation that also delivered the first official Western release of Final Fantasy V, packaged with a soundtrack CD. This careful set, meant to celebrate the series, appeals to those wanting the first localized form of these 16-bit classics on PlayStation. Its value is measured by the complete package, music CD included.
Is Final Fantasy Anthology - Final Fantasy VI still worth playing in 2026?
Final Fantasy VI is a Squaresoft masterpiece with a cast of fourteen memorable characters, operatic staging and Nobuo Uematsu's legendary soundtrack. Kefka remains one of the JRPG history's greatest antagonists, and the post-apocalyptic second act stays one of the medium's most striking narrative dares. The PS1 / Anthology port suffers from loading times but content stays intact. An absolute peak today.
