Heyyo, this is like that epic swordfighting scene in Die Another Day, where Pierce Brosnan wins a swordfight against a dude, except Wolf just did it against 3 dudes each wielding buster swords with two connected materia slots...

But yo, I'm sitting here with such a big smile on my face because I got caught! And I really didn't mean it! I thought for once, I UNDISPUTABLY AND IRREVOCABLY HAD WOLF! THE BIG BAD WOLF! BUT THIS TIME I WAS THE ONE WHO BLEW THE HOUSE DOWN!!! I'm so utterly ashamed as a hardcore Dragon Quest fan and DQ promoter that I actually inserted a sprite sheet where one of them had a tent and I didn't find anything suspicious.... I'M SO ASHAMED!!!

BUT YO!!! I still haven't found any full sprite sheets of the characters from DQV. And as such, I refuse to concede that DQV's characters had no expressions as you suggested!!!! I will not capitulate!!!! THERE WILL BE NO QUARTER!!!!

But wow, you're telling me that Final Fantasy VI had a whole 12 more sprite variations than Final Fantasy V??? Wow, Mr. WK, what an substantial leap and noteworthy landmark that is!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahaha

No.

Progress marches on but as you've pointed out in our VII debates, it's how the story utilizes that technology to better itself that sets the games apart from it's predecessors.
Do you mean the argument that you violently and vehemently deny to the bitter end everytime I raise it!?!?!?

But enough of sprites. Sprites is not the point of this thread. The question is has FFVI been surpassed. I hold that yes, it had already been surpassed on its own console, by at least one game that predates it. Let us move to what you had to say to Flying Arrow about the infamously poorly-executed Shadow moment on the Floating Continent:

[using old man voice] cause you see back in the "good old days", developers designed their RPGs to reward players for trying different things to see different outcomes. Cause back then it was hard to give replay value to to this style of genre, so developers did this type of stuff.
Wolf, I had to ask: are you yourself aware of how much horses#!t that is? I had to make sure. I needed to be certain that there's no possibility that you honestly believe this load of crap. Because if you did, I would be seriously worried for you, like, scared to death for your mental well-being. I know there's no way you can seriously believe that JRPG designers did this sort of thing.... We've had a lot of debates, but this would be the point where I start to fear for your safety, that you might hurt yourself in your mental state. I might have to drive myself out to West Dakota or wherever it is you live and check you into a mental care facility because I KNOW YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME THE SHADOW SCENE WAS MEANT TO BE BAD ON PURPOSE!!!

Anyway, Tactics Ogre is still better, that is all.
