Bullshit assumptions and leaps in logic can also apply the other way around. I feel about VII as you feel about VI and vice versa.
For me, the reason VI doesn't hold up as well, is the barebones script that doesn't expand on character interaction past an elementary level and leaves the user to fill in the blanks. At the time, such faults were forgivable on consoles, but now it's just antiquated. VII suffers from this to an extent, but that wasn't the reason I loved VII.
As for SNES games, both Secret of Mana and LttP hold up MUCH better than VI as RPGs go.
That said, VI is a good game, just not my favorite, and your reasonings are a tad insulting because they allude to a fantasy that your opinion is generally accepted which it isn't, in the gaming community at large, but it is adpoted by a niche FF fanbase who grew bitter when VII made the series popular in America despite their believe that it was derivitive and undeserving of the cult status that it, itself obtained.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
