FFVI The best FF ever?

[Lassic]

This game is my personal favorite in the Final Fantasy series. The story, characters, and gameplay are above and beyond anything that Square has put out after. I think the only part of the game that was slightly off was that there was not a definate main character. Other than that I thought FFVI was damn near flawless.

Any agree or disagree?

[Derek]

I never played FFVI but I've heard it was pretty good from a couple of people.

[The Man]

I'm inclined to agree, and actually the lack of a single main character didn't bother me much. It contributed to the feeling that saving the world was more of a group effort than the doing of any one character.

Plus, it had Kefka. 'Nuff said.

[Godiva]

I agree with Aaron, I think the fact the story was not driven by one character added more depth and reality to the game.

FFVI is just excellent - it has some great characters (Setzer ftw), an interesting plot and of course, Ted Woolseys' English translation. What more do you need?

Plus, it had Kefka. 'Nuff said.

[The Man]

Woolsey's translation had some flaws to it, but most of those are the fault of Nintendo of America for censoring every reference to death and unmarried teenage pregnancy they can find I still kind of wish he hadn't changed random characters' names, but there's no denying the power of lines like "You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet!" Classic, classic stuff.

i agree, ff6 was pretty much flawless. i loved the characters, the music like the opera theme Aria de Mezzo Carattere, kefka ofcourse... hahahahaha...dont you love his laugh, its like a trademark for him and the game. i cant wait for the remake to come out for gba so i can play it on ds.

Next to FFVII, VI is my favorite FF. Really, despite liking FFVII better personally, I have to admit that VI was the superior game in terms of story, characters, and overall appeal.

A lot of my friends talk about how superior FFVI is to FFVII. This and the FFX demo made me buy it when it was re-released on PS1. I played up until the bit where you split off into three groups and just lost interest in it

infact, i may re-start it today.

FFVI is one of those games that I really want to finish but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'd just past when the world is torn asunder and you have to go around gathering all your party members up again. I have a feeling there is still a lot more to accomplish before I'm done though

Part of my problem is that because I'm taking so long playing it, I forget where things are and whatnot, which is tough, because my emulator version doesn't have a functional minimap.

Anyway, I'm wibbling. I'm enjoying it so far, Kefka is really a great/insane villan and Orthos just makes me lol. And that finger wagging thing Edgar does, cracks me up every time.

well, the GBA version releases in...2 days - i plan to finally play it, i started to play it from anthology on PS, and i must say i can't stand it. high hopes for the cleaner GBA version, but hopes for nice PSP one, too.

[The Man]

The Anthology version's loading times are atrocious, but I'm assuming that's what you were referring to anyway.

[kaiser4]

yea man, not only that but just how grainy and pixelated everything was, maybe that's what i get for playing it on an HDTV - which shouldn't really matter but nonetheless i didn't enjoy it as much as i know i would because i was so hooked from the very beginning.

[ThroneofDravaris]

When a game manages to be fantastic despite ditching any semblance of a plot half way through the game, you know you're playing something quite extraordinary.

[The Man]

Yeah, playing FFVI on an HDTV seems like it would be a bit overkill.

And I liked the lack of plot in the second half of the game. It made for a lot more nonlinearity of gameplay, and really there was a lot more character development because of it as well.

[Naked Gackt]

I really id love FF6, bot unfortunately I never finished as my save game was wiped off 5 times, I just gave up after that. I sstill cnoisder 7 my favourite but 6 is definately up there.

[adm1r]

I would like to play VI cuz I've heard it's good.Is Gilgamesh in VI?

[The Man]

Not in the original, but he's in FFVI Advance as a summon, I believe.

[Axel]

I've never actually played six, but i'm trying to get my hands on FFVI advance.

[Hironobu Sakaguchi]

agree

IMHO: FFVI> FFIX> FFIII

[Godiva]

Doc, Aquila - I was the same, it took me about 3 tries before I got into the game. It was worth it though. If you liked FFVII, I can pretty much guarantee you'll love this game, if not more.

It takes a while before you can start learning magic, once you're past that point it gets much better.
