    What a shallow post the urs!

    Difficulty is important in a game... and yeah... really important... but it's not the only thing u have to wait of a game...
    And FF6 is so easy!... u are ok on that!... is very very easy... but that doesn't mean it can't be good or maybe the best!

    • FF6 has (in my opinnion, and the opinnion of lots of people) the best Storyline ever! in a FF, and maybe in a RPG... Just compared sometimes to games like Chrono Trigger (wich i'm sure there are people who has played it here)...
    • FF6, also has an almost-non-linear storyline, in the SNES and other plataforms at that time there were just few games with the non-linear storyline, i can remember Chrono Trigger and Tales of Phantasia, for example... and for an FF, it was something new... u can see all the FFs before FF6, and u'll note that all they were in one line that u had to follow... u really had to follow it, not much things to do appart of the whole line from beggining to end!
    • About graphics... FF6 has the better graphics for an FF at the time... it's one of the better graphics of all the RPGs at the time (maybe just beaten by the Secret of the Rudras (wich was released only in japan) and Chrono Trigger...)... Besides!... Between not just FFs or RPGs, but all the SNES games, ff6 is one of the best graphics ever at the time it was released!...
    • The art by Yosh1taka Amano is surely great on every FF, but here u can appreciate some great designs like the final battle one, the Goddess, Poltergeist and Doom one, and others... Surely, on of the best yosh1taka arts for an FF.
    • If anyone who plays RPGs can say he/she have felt identified with a character of any of all the games he have played, u can know that the biggest probability is that he/she will say the name of one of the characters of FF6!... that's a fact... u can take a day to navigate in forums around all the whole net to see that is a fact...
    • Kefka, is considered the most charismatic villain/final-boss in a FF, and by lot of people, the most charismatic final boss ever!
    • Lines like "Uweeee he he he!" and "Son of a Submariner!" are recorded like legendary quotes in the mind of almost everyone who have played the games, and lots of them have included them on their daily speech...
    • So, the whole characters design is a great work beating lots of works on movies and cartoons. A great place for a game in the 90's, when games was starting to be something more than pixelated mechanics movements...
    • The sound of FF6 is considered the best or one of the best sounds of a SNES game, and is between the best of all the story of the games. One recognized masterpiece is the Opera of Marķa and Draco, recognized in the clasic music environment like it wasn't game music, besides lots of more music of the game too...
    • At the time... (in that epoch!) FF6 was a great object of innovation in the industry of videogames, it was guiding Final Fantasy to a highest level of gaming... lots of new thing u could do in the games! ...like for example having all the characters you were getting during the game at ur disposition there in the airship... no more changin characters just because the story said so, and no more loosing the other character by changing him... now u could choose the one u like it most and play with him when u wanted to, and changing him whenever u wanted to! ...another example: This is the first FF with movement combinations for a character, yeah i'm talking about Sabin blitzs... this is surely a great novelty! ...i can't remember well this part, but if i'm not wrong, it was the first RPG with this characteristic... isn't i t??? ...and with all the relics and equipment that u could get, u really could create lots of different personalities to ur characters of the party, maybe better than the jobs system!...
    • About the programming script, u can see that is better than the older FFs ones, the battle system and the status calculation is also made better, and u can see a considerable little weight for a file of a so great graphics and so long game. Then u can imagine the optimization of the algorithms in general. If u can't see that looking at the game, u can download specialized algorithms files of FF6 from the internet, and compare them with the older games.


    I could be talking about this for a lot of time... there are lots of great reasons to say Final Fanatasy 6 is the best or one of the best games ever!... maybe, u just could stop playing automathicaly or mechanicaly and start to see and appreciate games like the ART pieces that they really are.
    FF6 is one of the biggest marterpieces on his genre (the Games Art genre)... A masterpiece in sound/music, in graphic art, in character and story design, in programming, and in development.

    !!

    PS: Of course that i say FF6 is so great how i said, that doesn't mean that i'm underestimating the other games, all games are great... and... we are so away of the time when games were just a computer program (70's and part of the 80's they were just some piece of programing code), now they are really art.

    Edit: "Why do you build knowing destruction is inevitable...???
    Why do you yearn live knowing all things must die???"

    This game is philosophicaly a piece of art too!... just look at the Atma speech, and the Kefka words at the beggining of the final battle...
    Some concepts of this game really reminds me of Kafka (of course!)... and reminds me about Nietzsche too...
