It's a good song. And a good scene.

I just wouldn't say it's the most memorable scene from the game for me. When I think of scenes from FF VI, two more memorable scenes for me are (SPOILER)the scene between Locke and Rachel and (SPOILER)Cid's death, and Celes' attempted suicide.

What makes the opera scene better than these? Was it the tone?

I guess I never really understood why it is so beloved by fans.
