I have played through Final Fantasy VI more times then most other games and will say, it never gets boring besides the leveling up but even the it is fun when you come across an enemy or boss fight you weren't expecting or you get a awesome item. It is also awesome when a character enters the scene like Shadow or Kefka and you have a big smile on your face when they do because of how epic, funny or evil they are.
There are many other reasons why I think it is my favorite game and best game ever but I am too busy right now. So for now here is some music from the game:
Terra's Theme
Shadow's theme
Kefka's Theme
Battle Theme
Boss Battle Theme
