No surprise it's FF VI. Absolutely peak final fantasy. Classic Uematsu soundtrack, great story with an iconic villain and a lovable cast. Active Time Battles and a phenomenal Esper system for customization. Square at the height of their pixel art powers with some beautiful sprites. Ultros, the opera scene, train suplexing...
It's a shame they kind of butchered the pixel remaster. I'd try playing a romhack version on an emulator if you're interested, preferably something based on Woolsey's wonderful translation (son of a submariner!).
I enjoyed the remaster, although I've only played the original once or twice. What about it did you find "kind of butchered"?
It's not as bad as the mobile version from 2014 (seriously, go look it up if you don't believe me!), but I still prefer the original art and sprites. Butchered is maybe too strong a word though, that's more fair to say about the mobile version.
EDIT: forgot to mention they used the GBA translation as a base and discarded many iconic Woolsey lines from the original, like "son of a submariner!". There are obviously a lot more changes but I'm not going to be full purist and claim everything was objectively better on the SNES just because that's the version I'm used to. You can look at the full differences here.
