I actually think FFVI has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance among the press and public in recent years, to a point that it might be the plurality pick as best FF over VII. In the readers' choice poll on IGN in 2008, for example, VI beat VII by 15 spots. Conversely, however, in a GAME poll of the same year, VII placed well ahead of VI.
In 2013, Kotaku ranked VI as the top FF game, with VII coming in fourth. Similarly, in 2009, IGN ranked VI number one, just one spot ahead of VII. One year later, in 2010, GamesRadar listed VI in the premiere spot, with VII placing third.
I'm not saying VI is the consensus pick for best Final Fantasy -- scores of fans and publications still rank VII first -- but I sense that it has ever so slightly passed VII to win a plurality of the vote.
Both are great games in my opinion, and deserve to be ranked among the best ever made.
