I'm not even playing the current version(1.9 vs 2.0) but I can say this is definitely worth it. I havent played vanilla FF6 in like 20 years, but just seeing some of the changes over the original make me think this is absolutely the way to play the game.

People talk about a game like FF8 being broken but it appears vanilla FF6 was too(though, good characters and story can make up for it whereas FF8....ehhhh)(ps i still love ff8 despite it) to a large degree. Attributes not really doing what they should, needing to lowest level game it to get the most out of Espers, etc. Takes care of all that shit, and 2.0 as I was reading takes it a step further. Game is also more challenging(compared to vanilla FF6 which apparently is very easy) I hear, which is good. A lot of these boss fights take time and skill rather than just brute force. I like it. Its challenging but not hard. Hard work will get you through it just fine.

The only real complaints I could see anybody having are the Dialog changes that have added in referenced and BTB charm. You can revert back to vanilla dialog if you want. And some of the items are a little "meme-y" such as the Red Bull Item curing 200 HP and giving your character float. But I was never that attached to vanilla FF6 to care about the Dialog, and in places it is hilarious. The items I think are a nice touch too.
