Yes, FFT did have a very, very easy final battle. But i don't take points away from it because:
1. The music rules so hard
2. The location rocks
3. Hasmalum and Altima look wicked awesome
4. The final scenes were genuinely interesting.
I loved the way Hashmalum just killed himself as an offering for Ajora's soul, and his Stop2 skill looks pretty neat.
Kefka. I hate Kefka. I know i'm supposed to hate him, so i guess they get points for making a truely emotion-inducing character, but man, he annoyed me way too much.
FFT also gets MAJOR points for all the job classes, whether you could use them or not. Hashmalum was a Regulator, Elmdor was an Arc Knight, Queklain was an Impure King, and so forth. The names of those jobs tell you very little about what they do, and they just make you want them so fucking bad. It's like choosing the Ragnarok sword instead of the esper: you want both, goddammit.
Also in FFT, you were dealing a lot with the church, holy powers, angels, saints, cardinals, churches, and all that jazz that i find terribly interesting. FF6 had a dark plot, but you don't have to overthrow the church and the demons in said church in that game.
Even if FF6 somehow improved everything it had in it, it would not be able to top FFT for me. I love that game too much for anything to topple it as THE BEST DAMN GAME EVER. >:D
