Final Fantasy 6, a.k.a. Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES, was a great success.  Many magazines like GamePro and EGM have praised it for its rich plot and complex scenarios.  Nintendo Power even called it "the RPG hit of the decade."  Fans of the Super Nintendo and RPGs rejoiced over how great this game was, and with a slew of other RPGs on the system like Chrono Trigger, ActRaiser, and Nintendo's A Link to the Past, a lot of fans---myself included---generally regard this period as one of the best video game production times of our generation, if not THE best.
