Play Final Fantasy II (Rev 1) [Bug Fix by Deathlike2 v1.0a] (Yang's HP Fix) Online

Final Fantasy VI (or III if you grew up with the SNES version) is one of those RPGs that just sticks with you. You start off with two soldiers in mech suits stomping through the snow, and within an hour you're juggling a whole crew of misfits—from rebellious princesses to wisecracking thieves. Kefka's the villain here, and he's not your usual "take over the world" type—more like a gleeful, unhinged force of chaos who actually succeeds at breaking things.

The magicite system lets you customize characters however you want, though I always ended up making Sabin a ridiculous punch-machine. The sprite work and music? Still gorgeous—Terra's theme alone hits harder than most modern soundtracks. Also, Deathlike2's patch fixes some of the original bugs, so you won't get Yang's HP randomly tanking mid-fight.

It's the kind of game where you'll accidentally spend 20 minutes just listening to the opera scene again.
