Problems players report

We read the 231 most recent negative Steam reviews of Final Fantasy VI on 30 August 2026 and counted what they mention. These are complaints, not confirmed defects: we have not reproduced any of them, and a review describes one person's machine. What the counts tell you is which problems more than one person ran into.

  1. Crashes and freezes15 of 231 (6%)

    The old Steam version is atrocious, ugly, buggy (crashed all the time), and needed all the fan patches in the world to make actually playable.

    Lots of stuttering and crashes.

    Steam review, 25 April 2022 · 35 hours played · 27 readers marked it helpful
  2. Performance and stutter11 of 231 (5%)

    -Screen scroll stutter is as obnoxiously present as ever.

    Lots of stuttering and crashes.

    Steam review, 25 April 2022 · 35 hours played · 27 readers marked it helpful

A further 18 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
