This is arguably the greatest FF game ever made.
This game along with FF 1-5 are ALL worth playing.
You cant really call yourself a FF fan without at least playing FF 1, 4, and 6 imo.
The FF series isnt the greatest series of rpg games ever for no reason. :p
This game is simply phenomenal.
ZOMG!!!! ROFL!!!! OH GOD!! lol, seriously though this game is a must. not a should a must

Although I would not recommend playing it on the PS2 (or PSOne) as the load times are horrendous. If you're lucky, get a copy for the SNES and play it there. Otherwise emulate it.
You haven't lived life until you play FFVI. No one cares about FFVII.

well. It's pretty much a good game al together.
Although the aren't creative enough with some of the characters. Such as Strago, Relm, Or Cyan.
They focus to much on Terra.
But it is the best FF game to me.

Final Fantasy VI is the greatest role playing game of all time. Not only has it basically set the standard for what is to be expected from any current-generation RPG in terms of character and plot development and depth, it has also stood the test of time and remains just as entertaining to play through multiple times today as it was over a decade ago. If you haven't played through Final Fantasy VI in its entirety I would argue that you have never experienced what video games have the potential to be.

Damn...now my text makes my eyes bleed.
You can't calle yourself a Final Fantasy fan if you haven't played this. It's both solid canon and amazing innovation (if compared to previous games, of course).
well right now you have a big decision to make that may alter the rest of your life as illustrated in this diagram:

I think you can make the right choice.
That would have to be one of the most one sided graphs I have ever seen, I like itQuote:

FF1, FF4 and FF6 are probably all better than 7, imo. Except maybe 1. That's up for debate in my mind. Seriously, if you give FF6 a fair chance, you'll love it. If you play it for 2 seconds and decide that you don't like it because the graphics aren't good, you suck.
that is so true.Quote:

I don't agree with the diagram, there was good stuff even after VI, but this game IS good. Not much else to add. ^__^
In my opinion final fantasy VI has to be one of the best in the series. Its a classic
In my opinion, this is the second best, Tactics is my favorite by far, I don't think any other game will even come close to it but this is a really fun game.
Its a good game, I prefer FFVII and FFV over it, but this definately is a game Ill remember my whole life. I actually was enjoying this game so much I spent around 4 hours non stop playing this game on my first run through.
that diagram is good but not exactly too accurate. you should try as hard as you can to play every FF. i know some of the new ones are better but the old ones in some cases are even better than the new ones.
The truth.Quote:

Wait... Sorry... I let Kefka out of his padded room, you can leave him out if he wants, He'll just go own all the other villians.
=]
when you start a new game save in multiple sppots cuz the beggining like most final fantasy games but not nine is boring
It's one of the best RPGs to be created since the dawn of videogames, so I'd say it's pretty damn good. :cool: All the characters, the plot, the graphics, the writing...well, it's simply top-notch stuff.
its a great game, make sure u emulate it, the psone version has real slow load times, and long delays even after a simple battle, which make it less enjoyable...
but ur right, the game has gets top marks in almost all categories, but i still enjoy ff7 equally to it. i like the enhancements psone brought, particularly the music.

I'm so glad I did, I was able to appreciate VII much more once I played through it's predecessors. And my first thought when I played VI was that it played like a next-gen RPG (meaning next-gen relative to the platform it was released on). Don't let the 2D graphics fool you, There's some depth to that game. But don't just consider playing VI, I'd go play them all.
LOL DUDE THAT'S AWESOMEQuote:

The old school games make you smarter. Once I played FFVI, I immediately went from a 5 Bs and a 1 A student, to having 5 As and a B.
There's so many things that make this game an awesome game. I can list several; feel free to add on...
a) great plot
b) awesome characters
c) teh haxxors villians si es teh greatest evar, 1337 haxed in ovrdrve
d) sets the standard for ALL RPGs from this point on
e) Kefka (I call him the hero b/c he accomplishes what I aim to do; complete and utter domination, to finally make people realize that FFX-2 sucks, and that FFVI is GODLIKE)
f) God is the final boss (<3 for all you Atheists)
g) not so sucky graphics (if they burn your eyes out, then you need to stop wearing glasses, and look at the world with 5/7 vision, tell me how THAT does not burn your eyes, for that matter, stop playing video games)
h) two blonde female characters that are not dumb (the ultimate sex appeal, way more than Rikku in FFX-2, but I can't argue with prostitution)
i) makes you think about your ethics and take on life
j) the most important reason: because I said so
Definitely worth getting. Hell, if you get FF: Anthology, FFV is even thrown into the deal. Can't beat that with a bag of hammers.
This is going to get me a bag of anthrax sent in the mail.
But I prefer the later installments. I'm not a fangirl and I don't drool over CLOUD CLOUD OH CLOOOUD!!! or anything. I just find them to be richer in storytelling. Kefka didn't impress me at all.
I do respect it for the epic that it was in its day, and all it contributed to modern gaming. But its just not my particular cup of tea.
Down, FFVI fanboys, down.
I rate games on the ebilness of the villains. Kefka wins.
Also on how many depressing scenes there are. FFVI wins.
And how non-sucky the female characters are. FFVI wins.
FFVI wins.
But I've only played VI, VII, VIII, IX, X and X-2, an I tried playing I and II but I got stuck.
......I wouldn't open your mailbox anymore.Quote:

I'm confused.
Did someone utter those words?
=[

And Richer in Story telling? x x;;
We do realize that Tidus disapearing in FFX was kind of like when Terra went in FFVI or how about the fact that Bizzaro Sephiroth has two heads, much like Kefka does at the end in boss-ish form.
The later games just rip the story telling and Ideas. =[
One day... I am going to make a list of all the simularities that happened in VI and all the other games after it. =O
Destroying entire kingdoms, taking over the empire, and becoming a demi-god doesn't impress you?Quote:

You should make that list. Because I know exactly how much FFVI broke the mold and contributed to the RPGs and games of other genres being made today. I didn't say it was a bad game, I just said it wasn't so great for me. I think I'm entitled to that opinion.Quote:

Never said you weren't entitled, it just happens that my opinion clashed with yours. :DQuote:

My brain is mush.
This game is extremely good, but also extremely overrated as the rest of the FF games are. That being said, I love it all the same. :)
I'm curious, what exactly do you think is an epic game then?Quote:

Chris is a good soul.
chaos: It beats all of those games. By far.
Rubedo: Give it a try. I think it will be re-released on the Nintendo DS, so give it a shot on that. I just wonder how they will use the whole touch-screen thing.
FFIII is suppose to go on DS, FFVI and FFV are suppose to go on SP. d-n nQuote:

(nothing in the game states that he is immortal, he only SEEMS to be Godly)
Oops actually what I meant to say was what is your "cup of tea" since you didn't like FF6 that much.Quote:

Oh, and the Monkey Island series is my holy grail. Epic, ne?
Oh, must've missed it. My bad. to FallenAngel411) Being insane and still in the military doesn't impress you?Quote:
