I actually thought the completely unhinged second half and the ridiculous villain were significant weaknesses. I also didn't like the fact that the huge cast of characters were basically interchangeable pokemon to be collected. It had great music and great style, though.
You... you... you son of a submariner! Kefka was simply amazing. The laugh alone, combined with the sprite animation were simply enough to qualify him as one of the better villains of the last six or seven games! I'm completely biased when it comes to FF6. The music alone has haunted me constantly since my first play through so long ago.

Reporting in! I've yet to find another sand box game half as fun. Maybe if it was Warband it would have garnered some more votes?

It is Warband! I simply haven't played it. I'm sure I'd like it.

Probably because they haven't played it!

It does have pretty rough competition, lots of nostalgia-inducing games in this bracket. I'll concede that I haven't played Pikmin, but the other games ahead of M&B are definitely good ones... although Warband is better, of course!

I wonder if that Three Kingdoms mod is in a good state now. I'd probably lose three months of my life if I started playing that.

FF6 is up there for me too, but it doesn't need my support!

Mount & Blade: Warband is on sale on Steam for 75% off right now. That's like what, $5? Could be a good time to check it out.
