How much do you remember your first completion? Levels, time and place, who was with you?
Since it's been a decade or more for me I can't even remember much. The first time I went into Tyrano forest I died to a Bracosaur and didn't return for three games or so.
I thought Relm was a witch and Strago a King. I'm sure I was over level 50 when I first beat Kefka. I only had 3/4 the members minus notably Mog, Gogo, and Umaro.
But I beat it relatively easily overall.
First time I got to kefka my level was in the mid 20s because i kept running from random encounters and got my ass handed to me by the first stage of the final boss. Next time I got there I was at about 40. To my memory my party was Shadow to Throw all my most awesome equipment, Relm because I taught her Life 3, Sabin for Bum rush and setzer for Gengi Gloves + Fixed Dice + Doom darts + Offering.
My levels would've been around 50/60. I had a party consisting of Edgar, Sabin, Terra and Locke, but Edgar fainted during the battle so either Cyan or Setzer stepped up. I slayed him pretty easily with those kinds of levels. :D
Somewhere around 15 years ago in my mom's living room playing a rom.
That was years ago back when the SNES was still in its heyday.
rotfl...
I am replaying it finally with the FF Anthologies version I bought years ago but never played.
The anthologies version consists of 2 discs..one for FFV and the other for VI of course.
I doubt very many people have it although imo I feel it's better to have the discs than the handheld versions of older games Square seems intend to bring out or have brought out.
Just got Gau..I am a big fan of Gau and his blue magic, which I wish we would see more of in the current games.It was so badly done with Kilmari in FFX and didn't even show up in the recent games and I find that a shame.
I find I am enjoying the game dated graphics notwithstanding because it's a true rpg.
:D
The final battle was really epic. I remember being obscenely overleveled with several characters knowing Ultima; but still took several tries to beat Kefka since I didn't understand the battle system that well/ had poor equipment. After finally beating him, the ending was a real treat.
I don't remember everything in detail, but I remember that I used Sabin, Terra, Mog and Umaro. I know, a strange combination, but Mog and Umaro was so much fun to use. I remember actually shaking a little bit the first time I finished the game. My entire playthrough was overly emotional; the music, the characters and everything. It moved me deeply. :(
I was very angry with the Magic Tower.
Edgar fainted. Does that mean you waited till the end before having Terra use magic for the first time?
Not even I can think of everything. It's interesting how we all had different ideas and perspectives on the game. Like how much we cared for saving Cid and others.
I've still got my FFA discs, too. But I prefer the 'Advance' version of both games. Smoother, better translation - what more could you want? I find the FFA has the slowest, most rickety versions of those games. For an easily frustrated person like myself, the load times make them nearly unplayable.Quote:

don't look at me....
My levels were 80 plus and I called everyone from the neighbourhood to have an epic gathering to witness this spectacular moment as I liberate everyone from Kefka! :bigsmile:
But the others were not impress cause they complain that Kefka dies too easily and he scares little children with that weird outfit of his. :(
My first completion had an important line cut out of the ending, so I had no idea how Terra lived at the end...
In my very first playthrough, all my characters were around level 60(with the exception of Relm and Gau since I never used them)with all spells learned when I completed the game. It took place one sunny summer afternoon back in '99.
