Sometimes I think gems like these will be lost on those who didn't experience them at their prime and/or inception. This isn't to say that someone could play it tomorrow and fall in love with it; I just feel that the "magic" of it is hard to attain to an aged gamer who's seen so many technical advancements.

Keep in mind, FF6 is my all time favorite game period. I understand it's flaws, but the game resonated with me in a special way. I still, to this day, recall spending 18 hours straights playing this game and loving everything about it.

For me, it was a natural progression from FFIV. The graphics were improved, the sound was improved, the characters were improved, and the story was captivating. It had 16 playable (14 if you wanna be a dick about it) characters and two distinct halves to the game. It had a villain that epitomized the word "villain" and it had compelling heroes. The multiple party members was revolutionary and the separation of parties created an epic feel.

But, for someone to play it now for the first time I can see how it would be difficult to fall in love with it. It's not as smooth as say, Chrono Triger; but I do feel it to be the better game. Even upon my most recent playings of it, I still had that feeling of nostalgia, but it wasn't quite the same. I still loved it, and it still ranks as #1 on my list; but I can understand why people can't get into it.

As with the poster above me, I would like to know what you aren't enjoying about it specifically. Is it the dialogue, the graphics, the combat system, the archaic feel? The general speed of the game is slow; but you have to accept that this game is decades old.

So, what say you?
