Final Fantasy Rookie

To think I've only recently purchased this game just last week! 45 hours into a brand new game, for me, is not the norm, I've been driven by VI to do as much as possible or as much as I can. I have yet to take out Kefka or reach his tower, as I have been leveling up enough for the final battle and teaching party members magic spells, along with finishing some side quests. There are some very emotional moments in the game but one them that will always stand out for me will be the opera scene (Maria and Draco or something like that), which I honestly was so mesmerized by it. For something that's originally out of a SNES game, that scene really stood out for me and struck a cord. There are no graphics, there are no voices, and yet, it had a very powerful impact, so much, I Youtubed videos about it and like what I saw, including a remake with actual orchestra and voices. A long with Terra's theme, this piece of music is essentially the theme to VI or at least epitomizes it, to say the least.
I can definitely say this by my favorite entry in the franchise so far. Move over X and IX because VI has taken over. Do not underestimate of my appreciation for this game, thanks to VI, most definitely I'll be looking forward to the more old-school variety of the Final Fantasy franchise more than ever. I was surprised how much I like this game more than the recent titles. My only issue is the lack of character interaction after the Blackjack and the fact I accidentally lead Shadow to his death by jumping from the floating continent way too early (how the hell was I suppose to know I had to wait when you're being freaking timed!:roll2). Jesus, I feel embarrassed to have killed off one of the more interesting characters in the game. But yeah, it's been a heck of ride and see myself beating the game in a couple of weeks or a month from now. Really, I've like what I've seen and can wait to try Final Fantasy IV after this.
