What is a good system where players can create and play characters like the ones in final fantasy 6 in a narrative way?

Fate would be a good fit, I think.

is there an alternative combat system for fate?

You can bolt it on top of Strike! tactical combat. It's very Final Fantasy-y anyway.

Use the 2d6 variant for both for consistency, if you want.

13th age has a relatively simple mechanic where every PC has their "One Unique Thing" that defines the character; no other PC or character is supposed to step on that, so it's an instant plot hook and the GM can tie that into bonuses and progression.

I dunno about anything more structural.

It's a Japanese snack, not a lollipop. I don't know what it actually is though.

lol, pathfinder brah.

Sounds like you want classes, and skills. The classic package.

Now, what you want to make things different, and closer to Final Fantasy is:

>Magitec, which is really just magic items. Simple. Magic items ARE magitec. Make them out of steel and electrically charged crystal, rather than wood and other natural shit. Done.

>Summons. Don't worry about it. One thing you can do is ban summon monster spells, and only have summon planar ally spells. Done.

>Airships.
They have rules for that. Next.
Everything else is just setting and theme. Play final fantasy music in the background, Use Pictures that evoke the whimsical noble bright theme that final fantasy generally has. Don't use overly realistic and detailed western art.

Also try not to lean on British accents too much unless you are going to vary it up.

But, standard american international is probably best.

Now that the feel is set up, create monster blocks for iconic FF monsters like chocobos, bombs, cacutars, etc.

Final fantasy at it's core is dungeons and dragons dumbed down into console play, so, it's not hard to do it as a setting.

Serve Raspberry seltzer with blue food dye for potions, and and Sprite with green food die for ether. Rotisserie chicken for chocobo, and roast veggies. Shortbread cookies for dessert.

Or we could be like
"have you tried playing gurps" and shitposted and left.

Pathfinder has almost all it's content online for free legally, has classes (which simulate final fantasy's mechanics)

And is more likely to get actual play with most people than some obscure hipster-trash system of the week.

Does it have it's hiccups? Sure. Is it playable, popular, and pretty easy to pick up? yeah.

Take your fucking head out of your ass.
It's a honda civic.
Don't try to say, either ferrari, or car kit, or walk.

If you can't play a simple game, you are definitely doing it wrong. it still works for the most part.

there's original rulesets on final fantasy tho, like Anima Beyond Fantasy or The zodiac, for an old school feel
