Final Fantasy VI (SNES) Playthrough

This is the original SNES version of Final Fantasy VI, also known as Final Fantasy III in the US. I chose to do this version as it's the version that I played way back in the day and likely the version you're nostalgic for.
This playthrough has been edited to remove pretty much everything that isn't story related. Grinding, excessive travel, dungeon crawling, vendor time, menu usage and so on. This video is not meant to be a walkthrough or guide. It's aimed at people who want the story in full without having to deal with everything else or watch someone deal with everything else. There are several scenes and individual instances where text will auto-advance.

Some notes:
There are several sequences that involve fighting the same enemy group several times in a row. I've cut these down where it made sense.
During the imperial base sequence, there's a cut after the first battle with the clown. There are two optional items I wanted to grab in the area and it's the only time you can get them but I didn't want to waste time showing this. I could have recorded the scene and then reloaded a save state to grab them but I didn't think of that at the time.
After the year passes, I intentionally let it happen. It is one of the best scenes in the game.
When finding Shadow for the last time, despite the dialogue there he joins the party permanently and everything else you can do there is side stuff with no impact on the story.
