playing this game when it first came out was a crazy experience i'll never forget. it really sucked you into its world and it was different from any game I had ever played at the time, even RPGs. Since then I've gone back to beat the SNES FF's and Chrono Trigger but I still find it to be very different from those games.

I made a thread like this a few months ago and the #1 response I got was its story. Every character had a really deep backstory, and there was always more hidden for you to discover.

The battles are great. When I go back and play this I can't deny that I enjoy every battle, and the system was wonderfully creative so that you could really delve into it and develop your characters in all sorts of directions if you choose to do so. If you just want to experience the story, you could do that too. It was a really versatile game.

Not to mention that when you get to the end of it there's just so much to do on the 3rd disk, there's secrets all over the world for you to discover, definately something that made FFVI so great.
