History YMMV / FinalFantasyVI

** The piece players tend to remember most fondly, however, is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGqqnlwr7-4&fmt=18 Aria De Mezzo Carattere]], the centerpiece of the Opera House sequence.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: '''The whole damn sountrack'''. The piece players tend to remember most fondly, however, is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGqqnlwr7-4&fmt=18 Aria De Mezzo Carattere]], the centerpiece of the Opera House sequence.

* MoralEventHorizon: Kefka's moment could be debated, though right around the point that he [[KickTheDog poisons Cyan's entire village]], killing everyone dear to him just for the hell of it, could be a good moment to consider.

** While it must be noted that the GBA release fixed ''many'' of these, though Ultima Spam remains viable. Very viable.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the games' second act, Kefka had absorbed all of the Warring Triad's power and became a god. He then attempts rules a crapsack world until he develops full blown nihilistic thoughts and attempts to destroy existence in itself, only to be stopped by the heroes. In an arc from Superman, TheJoker absorbed Mister Mxyzptlk's reality altering powers to create a twisted caricature of reality with himself as Emperor, and similarly, he attempts to destroy existence, feeling as though a universe where everyone is like him should not exist. Luckily for Joker and everyone else, Superman ends up stopping him by pointing out that Batman is what defines Joker.

* CharacterAlignment:
** LawfulGood: Cyan, Celes
** NeutralGood: Terra, Sabin, Strago and Edgar
** ChaoticGood: Relm, Locke and Mog
** LawfulNeutral: General Leo
** TrueNeutral: Gau, Gogo, Shadow and Umaro
** ChaoticNeutral: Setzer
** LawfulEvil: Emperor Gestahl
** NeutralEvil: Ultros
** ChaoticEvil: Kefka, at least in the World of Ruin

** Edgar also undergoes changes, most notably in his first interactions with Relm. Originally dismissive of the young child artist, the GBA version rewords the dialogue in such a way that suggests [[NoYay an attraction]] to a [[{{Lolicon}} ten year old girl.]] (''slightly'' less {{squick}}y = "[[TheJailBaitWait Hope you're still around in eight years]]".) Although you can still take his words in a different way.
*** Also, YourMileageMayVary on whether you see his flirting on the whole as a sign of [[TheCharmer genuine promiscuity]], a [[BunnyEarsLawyer personality quirk]], or a form of [[ObfuscatingStupidity obfuscation]].

** LawfulGood:Cyan, Celes

** NeutralEvil: ultros

* ComplacentGamingSyndrome: Step 1: Get the Ragnarok Esper/paladin Shield. Step 2: Teach everyone Ultima. Step 3: Spam Ultima. Step 4: ???? Step 5: Profit! Bonus points if you do this and then complain on the internet about every character being the same.
* CompleteMonster: '''Kefka'''. Oh boy, where to begin... enslaving Terra and using her as a weapon, poisoning Doma's river, killing General Leo, capturing countless espers at Thamasa, destroying the entire world, and then picking off survivors with the Light of Judgment.
* EndingFatigue: The entire World of Ruin. {{YMMV}}.
** It's entirely possible to challenge Kefka as soon as you get both the airship and Terra so you could end the game right there. The fatigue in the mind of a lot of players comes from trying to track down ''every'' lost party member instead (and to their credit, the ending is much more satisfying with everyone present.)
* FanPreferredCouple: In ''FinalFantasyVI'', a fairly significant portion of the fanbase [[{{Shipping}} ships]] Terra/Locke, despite the fact that Locke/Celes is the OfficialCouple. Celes/Edgar is also a fairly common ship, and the Japanese fanbase for Terra/Sabin is quite significant.

*** Well, he was an evil megalomaniac with a very pretty young woman under his complete control... It wouldn't exactly be out of character for him to have a go. He certainly seems to be ... ''excited'' by her killing skill.
** Some fans also ship [[LesYay Terra and Celes]].
*** Well, what else are fans for?
*** There is a bond here. Celes in the ending is frightened that Terra would disappear, and shows grave concern for her fate. After they escape the tower, it is Celes that looks for Terra, finding her unconscious on the airship's engine and pulls her off. Celes is shown standing behind Terra when she takes off her handband in freedom. This suggests that Celes should be in the party whenever they are in Mobliz for Terra's recruitment.
**** Between this and Locke's [[BodyguardCrush earlier vow]] [[BigBrotherInstinct of protection]], (referencing the first line of this entry) this makes Terra a NotLoveInterest ''to both halves of the same couple!''

** Setzer is probably the character that changed the most. In the SNES translation, Setzer is a happy-go-lucky thrill seeker who JumpedAtTheCall. In the GBA version, he's almost the exact opposite: he's willing to take crazy risks because he's a world-weary nihilist who [[DeathSeeker simply doesn't care whether he lives or dies.]]

* LoveItOrHateIt: The World of Ruin. There is no in-between reaction for this half of the game; either pushes the game into full-fledged greatest game ever territory with its open-ended world of side-quests upon side-quests with TearJerker worthy endings to individual CharacterDevelopment; or ruins the game because the overarching storyline evaporates.

** LawfulGood:Cyan

** ChaoticGood: Relm and Mog

** TrueNeutral: Gau, Gogo and Umaro

** Non-translation related: Locke Cole: star-crossed lover or [[spoiler:incredibly creepy man who's so fraught with attachment issues that he keeps his dead girlfriend preserved in a crazy old man's basement]]?
