I just beat it recently over the weekend on an emulator and felt that it was a great game, but I do not get why people are so in love with it. Obviously this is just my opinion, so I just wanted to know why so many people are such a huge fan of FF6?

I am 21 and played FF4 on SNES when I was like 5 or 6 so it's not like I am not accustomed to the the sprite versions. I still prefer 4, 7 and 9 over 6... so I just really wanted to know what makes everyone such a fan of 6?

You just answered your own question.  You played 4 when you were 'younger' and remember back to that one fondly.  Turn it around for others who played FF6 instead of FF4 first.

On another note, I'll just say that every FF game has a hardcore fanbase and a group that doesn't like it as much.  Its not like everyone likes FF6 the best.  In fact, general concensus is that FF7 is the one obsessed over the most, followed by FF4, then FF6.  So what it really comes down to is your tastes.

And my personal tastes are that FF8 and FF6 are tied for my favorites, but for different reasons.  Mostly because they focus on the characters, good gameplay/customization and have good exploration options outside of the main storyline.  Whereas many of the other Final Fantasy games lack these features because they focus more on the story (like FF4 and FF7).
