Errr, are you saying that Kefka wasn’t supposed to be entertaining? Hmm…

I must admit, I’ve never seen this suicide scene that everyone talks about. I actually made the effort to save Cid. As for FFVI being the darkest in the series, I really don’t see it. Quite a bit of game was PURE comedy, at least more than it was dark. And when you have FF games like FFVII to contend with, FFVI doesn’t really come up as dramatic.

Oh, and I think you’re assuming too much by saying that the 2D graphics turn people away from FFVI. Really, I don’t see how graphics affect the way people interpret the plot. I don’t consider FFVI very serious because the dialogue is very immature, in true Nintendo fashion. There is nothing wrong with this style, but it does mean that it’s harder to consider FFVI as seriously as some of the later FF games.
