I need to restart this game. Again. I'm up to the last dungeon, but i'm a bit afraid to enter. So i didn't play it for a while and forgot the story (plus, I (SPOILER)failed to get Shadow in the second world) so I restarted the game. Then, for some reason, possibly Dragon Quest VIII, I haven't played that file in a while. So I think I will re-restart this game again, because it is indeed an awesome game in just about every respect.

FF VI is Pimp.

Plus it had a great variety of characters and you didnīt have to be forced to walk with the heros all the time.
HIS NAME IS KEFKA
See? THIS I CAN TOTALLY AGREE WITH! But I also LOVE/HATE, well I just LOVED to HATE Kefka! You could tell you were just gonna love to hate this guy when he first showed up in Figaro! And all the characters having solid backgrounds.. Man... For me this was THE BEST FF Story ever... It was like one of those stories that you didn't want to end. The "Book" at the end was perfect symbolism for this.
"Hey Pharoh..."
"What?!"
"Sah-ha-ha-ree.
How come you haven't finished that book on the shelf?
"I don't want to. The story must not ever end!"NEVER!!!
"After 13 years, you still intentionally will not finish it?":sweatdrop
"NEH-VAAAA!!!!!!!!"
"Aw, c'mon... Tell ya what, why don't I just read it to you... :laugh:
"Do it and die!" :fencing:

A few things I liked about FF VI are those that most don't look at.
For instance, I liked that there was an age difference between all the characters. Of course you have your 18 year olds like Terra and Celes, but then you get Edgar and Sabin (27), Locke (25), Cyan (50), and the little ones like Relm and Mog. It made it seem more real to me than the other final fantasies that use strictly 18 to 22 year olds as the memorable characters. (i.e. FF 8, 10 and maybe 7).
Then, I love the story and the little "funnies" that VI had. Gau farting while the group was grooming him was (I think) the funniest moment in that game.
And then, the villian. Every good game has to have an awesome bad guy, and Mr. Kefka Palazzo was definitely choice. I actually thought Kefka was the best representation of a comically insane evil person I've seen period.
BEHOLD!!! The 88 Plymouth Sundance!!
Do not slander Kefka in Avarice's presence. Her wrath is not a nice thing to see
It was the first 2-D FF game I played, and at first I found it really cheesy and funny, being used to the dark 3-D ones, but it quickly became my second favourite FF game. Now my third, due to FFIII, but FFVI Advance will surely bump it back to number 2
I get jealous when I hear about people having fun with the multiplayer options for Final Fantasy VI, I could never, ever convince one of my friends to actually sit there and fight battles with me, let alone have them actually enjoy it.
I thought it was boring. I used to play with my neighbor and he always got to be Sabin, and never wanted to use Relm. I wanted to be Sabin.
Amen. It's not that hard a name to say.Everyday I die alittle more because of this.The clown guy made a great bad guy!

As for me.....pretty much all that can be said about what makes FF VI great, if not the best game in the entire series, has already been sad. If you haven't played it already, I DEMAND you play it (though this is probably unnecessary, since you've probably played it since your in it's section of the FF Forums). But I guarentee this when you play it: you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fall in love with.........Final Fantasy VI.
(And Kefka totally kicks the crap out of Sephiroth. I like Sephiroth, but just saying. There are few villains who can really match up to Kefka, let alone the fact that there are few characters in any RPG who can match up to the personalities of the party members in this game. And this little P.S. thing is going way longer than I intended.

Which FF Character Are You?
Like I said earlier, I need to re-replay this game. And, in fact, I am (in Mt. Kolts right now) and it is a great game to behold. The opening credits where Biggs, Wedge, and Terra are riding in the magitek Armor across the snowy fields to Narshe, which gets closer and closer while a version of Terra's theme plays is something I love as much as the opening of FFVII (which itself is pretty awesome). One reason I'm re-replaying this game is, as mentioned earlier, to get to know the characters better again. Seriously, the characters are awesome. Especially Kefka. As cool as Sephiroth is, Kefka is indeed awesome, insane, a clown (makes sense; clowns are evil) and... um... the best word to describe him his Kefka. Why are there no more Kefkaesque characters anymore? Nowdays, the villains usually just have a different point of view or want to control the world. But they're not insane clowns. Kefka is awesome.
I like how the concept of Final Fantasy as a whole is basically in its perfected form here. Rather than choosing characters, you get a whole roster that basically encompasses the entire Job system, and their own personality and backstory comes along with it.
I like the music. I guess you could call it a diamond in the rough, in the fact that he only used MIDIs, and was still able to draw emotions from the player on such a dramatic scale. My brother's a musician and told me it was pretty impressive so I guess that accounts for somethin.
I think the main reason for VI's greatness is an intangible aspect that everything brought together, when people came over my house while I was playing it this summer, they would just kind of watch mesmerized. It was a really good game.
I like how it holds up to the PSX FF's, as there was a long story that could be divided into discs if they were to make it for PS. Plus, there's a load of sidequests, and alot of things to do before the Final Dungeon, just like in those games.
The battle system is real crazy too. Again, it symbolizes FF perfectly as you have two hands, where you can use a weapon, a shield, a helmet, armor, and two accessories. With the accessories alone comes alot of customization, perhaps the most in the game.
I also like how this game is rediculously overhyped because its fans were too young at the time to understand what a good story/villain/Final Fantasy really is.
Actually, Bolivar, I was about fourteen-fifteen when I played FF VI for the first time, and it wasn't the first I had played. In fact, the first I HAD played was FF VII. Both are great games, but in all honesty, I find FF VII to be more overhyped in every aspect then VI ever was.

Which FF Character Are You?
i've never actually completed it because the disk broke. i got up to kefkas tower though with most of the characters. anyway. i got a copy off ebay and it arrived yesterday and im enjoying every second of it. its one of the best FFs for reasons stated above. very few bad points and the music and graphics are great!
and some of the characters are really good and its a funny game. "mr.thou!" and when your steal the merchants clothes "call me a treasure hunter or i'll rip your lungs out!" and "im gonna pound your face!" i always find that funny for some reason. and kefkas hilarious. "ahem. theres sand in my boots!"
its in my top 4 FFs. FF6,7,8 and 9. 9s my favourite and i like FF8 more than FF7 so its either my 3rd or 4th favourite. maybe 2nd favourite? i dont know. but its such a good game.

no offense man, i was just seein what the response would be.
But I don't agree with what you're saying. Who overhypes VII today? Whereas on these forums you'll find loads of fans who claim VI's story was so deep...when it really isn't at all...
