I might feel a bit differently had this also contained both the original games (even if in Japanese for titles that didn’t come state-side) as well as these remasters so you could compare and contrast, but as it stands, there’s still so much potential that could have made the asking price worth it – but it sadly wasn’t capitalized on.

If you're willing to endure RPG excursion to the roots of the series, you are ready to roll. Get ready for strong retro experience, partially simplified systems but also great accessiblity. The amount of content is staggering (over 100 hours) if you want to enjoy all the stories, content, music and combat.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster is a rare collection where every single game that composes it is great. Watching the evolution of the most important franchise of RPGs by itself make it worth it, but the fact that its made of two of the best games of all time as well as four other excellent titles takes the collection to an even higher level.

However, the 8-bit and 16-bit Final Fantasy trilogies are both genuine masterpieces. These games wove deep, compelling stories that were as thought-provoking and artful as they were entertaining. Back in the day, they were a promise of what video games could be, and what people had to look forward to as the medium emerged as an art form. Increasingly, they’re a sad statement for what games could have been, had the medium not shifted to a pastiche of Hollywood excesses.

Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster is an inconsistent work. Graphically, it has some nice effects, but also some ugly elements, the most obvious one is the typography. It is a remake that removes important things from the original game and adopts unnecessary new features. It's not the best version of the game, but it's not the worst either.

Perhaps this pixel remaster still needs a little more cooking to become the definitive version of Final Fantasy VI, but it is a totally recommendable way both to discover Final Fantasy VI for the first time and to revisit a cult classic that remains so fresh and valid as the first day.
