A team of modders has released a graphics overhaul for Final Fantasy VI. Titled Final Fantasy VI A World Reborn, this mod comes with reworked sprites and monsters, makes NPCs more colorful and diverse, replaces the UI pictures of the characters, deletes the mobile UI and adds an Orchestral OST.
The first major version of this mod is available for download and you can get it from here. Its next patch will include all the battle monster/esper sprites and their UI componets revamped.
Unfortunately, though, this isn’t a perfect graphical overhaul as the sprites are missing a lot of detail and texture due to palette limitations of the original game. Moreover, there are some sprites flicker on certain parts.
Still, we believe that this is a really cool mod all owners of Final Fantasy VI should at least test.
In order to celebrate the release of this mod, the team has also released a new trailer that you can find below, showcasing the changes that Final Fantasy VI A World Reborn brings to the table.
Enjoy!

Excellent, I did not even start it yet !! This is one of the games that make me the most nostalgic!
Great to see how despite Square Enix’s best attempts at botching its own property, the fans won’t allow for that to happen.
I hope they didn`t touch vanish + doom exploit 😛
very bad, they kept the awfull mobile UI, they havent touched the spirites, the only thing they did is that they added a terrible cinematic filter…the music is too generic
