Greatest FF game period. Nothing can top this game. The characters, the MUSIC, the STORY. Perfect 10/10. Most amazing RPG ever created.

Celes Theme fades down into Forever Rachel and Locke's Theme speaks millions about their love story without saying a single thing.

AND YOU Gets me. Every. Time. Such simple heartwarming way of presenting the player as part of the story.

Way back when i first saw Shadow's scene, it hit right in the feels. Find out that the badass ninja-assassin character has this history that torments him and he runs away from, finding out he had a daughter, finding out that daughter was RIGHT THERE all along, then seeing him "stop running" and face his fate there in the tower struck deep. But now as I look at the way the game was set up, with the player choosing who they want to be the main characters, it shows that players were not only participants in the story, but in a way wrote parts of it as well. The sort of open-ended "stop running" and "start again" bits from shadow are just that, open-ended. The game ends there (allowing you to roam free through the world as if you hadn't defeated Kefka yet) without elaborating much on what happens to any of the characters after the final battle, which again leaves an open ending allowing you, the player, to imagine what became of the characters later on. Did Terra return to Mobliz to be with the children whom her heart latched onto, thus allowing her to live on? Or did she go elsewhere seeking the normal life the Empire would have denied her? Did Locke and Celes settle down somewhere? Or do they still continue on adventures to the far reaches of the world? Did Shadow commit suicide as pennance for deserting Baram, or stay in the tower as it crumbled around him as did the life he knew 8 years ago? Or maybe he really did start over, ditching the guise of "Shadow" and returning to society as a new man. Or maybe, just maybe, Shadow died in that tower at the hands of Clyde Arrowny, who returned to his daughter to finally be the father he should have been for the last 8 years. Final Fantasy 6 is a story that had many writers through its time, Squaresoft, Square-Enix, the translators who did their best to bring it to the rest of the world, "AND YOU". Shadow's fate, and that of each and every character, is for you to decide,

9:13 ...still gives me shivers to this day.. Dammit Shadow ):

Shadow is alive... cutting these damn onions....

this was the greatest video game ending ever

Shadow brings a tear to my eye every freaking time. God, I love this game.

Shadow's part is so moving

9:16, the part you are looking for...

THe last part, "and you," is a very special moment. The entire piece is deeply emotional, and that part that recognizes you as a character makes it special.

9:10 Breaks me every time

Locke and Celes mixed together....perfect

I hope in the remake the credits refer to Shadow as "Clyde Arrowny".

anyone else notice how as cele's almost falls, Rachel's theme plays at it transitions from Cele's theme to Locke's?

I love the main theme of FFVI: hope. No matter how bad circumstances become, mankind can rebuild. Shadow gets to die as more than an unloved and honor-less mercenary. Terra finally finds a connection strong enough to keep her in the real world. Not to mention Cyan regains his sanity, Locke exchanges parting words with his love, and Celes finds the will to live. This game is among my three favorite games of all time.

Shadow's scene breaks me every time

Sadly there will never be another final fantasy as good as this was. sure they can try to tell a story like this one, but it won't really be the same- a huge cast of characters, a well thought out and moving plot, a great soundtrack that is second to none as well as featuring the longest song ever made for a final fantasy game(dancing mad), the longest ending of any square game before or since(over 30 minutes long) a parent and child in the same party (shadow and relm) and much much more. this game literally has it all and then some.

6:09 I love how it transitions from Celes to Rachel to Locke's theme. I love that little bit of detail and Nobuo Uematsu is a genius.

Character depth, plot, music, graphics FF6 was way ahead during its time Still impressive even close to 30 years on Mad respect for the production team

The part that begins with Gau and end with Locke's theme always get me. So beautiful and sad at the same time.

Relm's theme segueing into Shadow's breaks my heart to pieces everytime. Death of Aeris has nothing on this, Shadow had a reason to live after all, and he never knew. Before anyone says anything, I'm aware of the cut scene between Strago and Shadow, and I really wish it had been left in.

Uematsu says this is his favorite score and you sure can hear it.

Edgar flipping off the camera after Sabin's scene always made me crack up

6:11 is the best part. After Locke's complicated history with Rachel, he relives that dreaded moment where she fell (only this time with Celes) and this time around, he saves her. And as he pulls her up, his heroic theme music plays. A broken man finally becomes whole again as he truly redeems himself.

Played this when I was 11 years old, to this day my favorite FF and RPG ever made. So good!

This isn't a video game. It's a movie you can play.

FF6 is my model for storytelling. My bible of fiction.

God, hearing Relm turn into Shadow, makes me break out in goosebumps, every time. And hearing Celes' theme makes me break out into goosebumps. And mog to umaro. And umaro to gogo. And setzer to edgar/sabin

I just noticed that Umaro's "U'ghaaaa!" is very similar to the Emperor's final line from FFII.

Argh, I tear up every time I here this. I really love this ending, it put all of the characters' growth all in one place. The Edgar/Sabin, Locke/Celes and Relm/Shadow bits get me the most.

I didn't know how to feel about this ending, it was an emotional roller coaster! I found the Figaro brothers part heartwarming, Umaro's part funny, and Gogo's part hilarious, then after that, the feels started :(

The translation to Shadow's portion is better in the GBA port. He says something like, "Baram...I'm tired of running. Come find me, will you?" I find that much more impactful and sad.

Shadow was definitely the most memorable event in the ending sending away interceptor and interceptor not wanting to leave his side. Shadow finally came to terms with his past and faced the "music". Very memorable...

One of the greatest endings to the greatest game ever made.

Final Fantasy 6 is one of the best in the series. Please be a remake one day.

I get a lump in my throat when I think of how Interceptor refused to escape the tower and instead stayed loyal to Shadow all the way to the death. :'(

Everyday I thank God that even though Square didn't give America a lot of early Final Fantasy games, at least we got 6.

My tears drop every time The Figaro Theme is played >

God damn. Still tear up at the Celes/Locke section

Best FF ending ever, right in the feels.

This should have been on watch mojo as saddest ff ending ever.Seriously, the theme is depressing.Terra lost her mom and then her dad ceases to exist and she almost plummets to her death.The music is super depressing too and on top of that shadow is tired of running away from his past and kills himself.People talk about FFX but this one is way sadder.On top of that:It was made at a time where nobuo uematsus mother was dying, so he put his sadness into it.

2018 - Still the best ending Theme of all video games!

7:26 - terra always the saddest of all , love her ending so much :')

4:35 Still gives me goosebumps to this day! Love you, Gogo! Congratulations on your Final Fantasy 14 appearance!

Aw terras bit with the dangling necklace and the martini glasses is so elegant

Definitely one of the best Final Fantasy titles in the series.

ese juego es una obra de arte

the best FF are the VI and IX (knowing that i first time played to the VI was in 2007)

大好きで未だに何度も聴いてる。

the last 2 words always makes me cry.. square tell us real player is also character

Best part 2:10 - 3:02 Figaro Bros. FTW

The two people I realy feel bad for.... General Leo and Shadow/Clyde.

Love this game. There is a memorable moment for every theme. That's how a great RPG is done.

It breaks my heart to see this now. This is the best ending to any Final Fantasy. I remember playing this game and thinking it doesn't get better than this. FF7 proved me wrong. But with all do respect to FF10, this was the best ending of them all.

Damn, I remember the first time i beat Kefka... this ending was such a huge reward. There has never been a game ending before or since that could hit you below the belt like this one did.

In twenty years, someone will be saying the exact same thing about a game from today. There's always been terrible music, movies and entertainment...but there's always a few gems glittering amongst the refuse.

I cried when Shadow was left behind, he finaly learned to have emotions and care about his friends, but he satyed behind to die. I also believe that he's Relm's dad,so that made it all the more sad

Im here in 2022 and i greatly love these game so much,played all FF till dissida which was the best of the best because they brought back all those amazing characters

Edgar and Sabin's scene, damn that remind me so much of me and my brother..

The most amazing game ever made. Inspiring storyline, character development, beautiful music ... I'm a girl, but there's something about these little pixelated characters that emotionally move you, much better than Cloud/Tifa, Squall/Rinoa, Tidus/Yuna, etc.

There's so much soul in this game. Brings back so many childhood memories :')

I watch this video for the ending music. You have it all in one video while everyone else has it parts of 3. You are awesome.

This makes me cry every time. It's so freaking good.

I wish they would perform this at the FF concerts

While I love the remastered, pixel remastered, orchestral remaster and all the modern interpretation of FF6's ending theme, I still prefer the original SNES soundtrack to it. It still holds high value to my ears. Favorite sections are Gau all the way to Shadow in particular Locke and Celes - their storyline tugs at the heartstrings and the music works!

excelente juego ni pensar que lo encontre de casualidad esta gran saga y desde entonces nunca me olvide de ese FF !!!!

This shit is the absolute cream of videogame arts, to convey so much with so little tech.

when the Umaro piece hits...UWAAAAAAAGH

"Stay well..."

not my favorite but truly the best ff of all time, it's just so perfect the story is better than most ff nowadays, the soundtrack amazing for its time, and their character, although there were not a "main protagonist" you start to care for all of them

No doubt about it. FFVI (FFIII on the SNES) is the best.

this song moves me so much, that i shed a tear.

And You... fews game thanks you at the end. Great FF!

The best ending and my favourite game together with 9❤️❤️

@Balish13 Yeah, the shadow sequence was also awesome! I like to believe shadow faked his own death so he could take a new identity as a better person and "start again".

Still give me a goosebump

Nothing sounds as glorious as 2:17 kicking in.

The ending version of Gogo's theme is so much more epic than the normal.

7:25 and Terra has to be the saddest part. She is half human, with the espers leaving the world she will be able to remain. But she loses her family forever.

8:20 Terra into Relm's theme is my favorite part. Hits me in the nostalgia feels pretty hard.

Gawd this is soo emotional!

7:27 I always wondered why Terra’s symbol was a pair of glasses.

man tears, indeed.

Best game ever. All genres, all platforms.

With the success of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, we are one step closer. Seven was good but Six was the first Final fantasy for me. I've been waiting for a remake of it. With what I've seen in ff14 and now FF7R. I rest knowing it's in good hands. It feels like Squaresoft night be back.

@9:15 tears came out of my eyes.

i love how other ff fans notice small details like that :D nobuo uematsu is awesome and all these transitions are perfect its hard to choose which is best

When Edgar and Sabin's theme come in I get chills every time

You notice how Edger and Celes are in most of the ending clips?

THIS CHEESY PIXEL ANIMATION STILL GETS ME ALMOST CRY SINCE I WAS TEENAGER ....

Now that was an Ending!

"SHADOW AS SHADOW"... damn straight.

They did shadow so dirty here.

Lindo final,linda música!!!

9:16 that music changing...

greatest FF game ever

Nothing will ever top this game. NOTHING.

A million years ago I saw a PS1 Underground CD interview with Nobuo Uemetsu. To this day, I can't find it on youtube. He explains that part of the reason he wrote such sad and moving music is because his mother was dying while he was writing these songs. Wish I could find that interview...

Sabin and Edgar remind me so much of my brother and I. ;_;
