This review is for the Steam/IOS/Android port of Final Fantasy VI.
I harbour no ill will towards the original game, in fact, it is one of my favorites. Do yourself a favour and go play the SNES original. You won't regret it.

This port is horrendous. Even with the 'A World Reborn' https://www.moddb.com/mods/final-fantasy-vi-a-world-reborn mod. No offence towards the mod, but this version is, in my opinion, unsalvageable.

Everything is blurry, the character sprites are all pregnant, there's a weird delay before you are allowed to move, the battle UI is at best confusing, and it doesn't use the original translation (This isn't a flaw, I just prefer the original.) I made it roughly 7 hours into a playthrough before I had to quite and move over to the SNES version. Everything about this port is wrong, and I just can't stand playing it. The best way I can describe it is as an amateur RPG Maker game.

Do not buy this version. Or do, and emulate the original guilt free. A World Reborn helps, and is a great mod, but when you're working with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port some things simply can't be worked around.

8/10 - Too much water.
