Any Memories of FFVI to share?

[Avarice-ness]

I just wandered onto the FFIV memories thread, and I didn't know if there was one for FFVI, if there is you can close it.

I got FFVI when it was FF3 on the SNES, about a month after it had came out and I was 8 years old, and I vividly remember sneaking upstairs where my little 'play area' was to play FF3. I ended up playing before school too, once we moved the SNES downstairs into the living room. Also a funny story of an 8 year old, I had one of those knockoff versions of a 'talk-boy' but it was pink and called a 'Talk-girl' and I would record the songs from the game, when I started doing this, when I got to the Cave before you go to South Figaro, I talked into the Mike and said "I'm going to turn the music down because this song is scarry." and I turned the music down, let the talk girl run, recording silence and once I got out of the cave I picked it up and went "Okay... Now we can record again." I -still- have that tape.

Do you guys have any good memories like that? Hopefully they don't involve a talk-girl but hey who knows. n n;;

I first played with my brothers, and we argued about renaming characters as we went along. We renamed Locke as Kurt, my brother. We can along to naming Sabin and I wanted to change his name, he didn't, we accidently added and A, making it Sabina, so for a very long time I referred to him as such. We later named Cyan, Kyle, my real name, and he ended up being my favorite character, purely by coincedence

I remember not being able to tell if Gau was a boy or a girl

I download FFVI ROMS two months ago.

I think Terra and Celes gender is male while Locke is a girl.

I rented FFIII and played it for the first time when I had a tooth pulled and was holed-up all weekend with it. I made it to the WoR and had to return my game.

Luckily I received it for Christmas that year and have spent too much time playing it. I do remember that either I would cart my SNES to his house or he would cart his SNES to my house, we'd get an extra TV and spend the weekend racing to see who could beat the game first from a clean start Friday afternoon.

Whose house?

I first played it with my cousin when I was 9. I was spending the night at his house, and the entire time we just... played it. I thought it was amazing. It was fun to watch, too.

I loved Banon during my first playthrough, it was such a luxury to use a free cure-all command without wasting MP or anything.

I also remember disliking Locke at first, because his sprite wasn't as colorful as those of Edgar, Sabin and Terra.

I remember being 12 years old playing the game. Before the world of Ruin i leveled up my characters to 35+ on that stupid floating continent only to not wait for shadow when the world was in chaos (didn't know it at the time) and being very pissed off that i had to start all over again to gain shadow in my group in the world of ruin! >=0

When I was little I didn't like Locke because I had Short Term memory and I kept thinking that the password was 'Rosebud' instead of 'Courage'.
But once I got Celes I thought he was cool. Went from "ARGH I'M TIRED OF YOU" to "Omg! That's so cute! I like him now"

I also found the Locke scenario very frustrating at first; now it's only somewhat boring, but not at all frustrating.

Actually, Locke is one of my favourite chars, because he's got the wonderful Steal/Capture command.

Every time I play FF VI, it reminds me of the time when I bought the used SNES version(known as FF III at the time) at KMart back in 1998. I was curious at the time because I played FF IV(known as II back in the day)and I found that enjoyable so I thought maybe VI would be enjoyable as well. It's the 2nd FF game I've ever played back then, but till this day, it's my #1 favorite.

I almost have this idea in my head that if you played the SNES version of FFVI you can appreciate it more, I played it when it was on the SNES, like a said a month after it came out, and it's been my favorite FF since I was 8. xD 12 years.
