"Life... Dreams... Hope... Where do they come from?" A Final Fantasy VI Retrospective

Aidanmoher writes: "Like any family of three young boys, my brothers and I were quite a handful. As the oldest, a ripe eleven years old, I led the charge. Vivid memories still fill my head of the time we were climbing up-and-down the ladder-like sides of a bookshelf in my living room, only to bring it crashing down to the floor, barely avoiding being crushed (and further embarrassment for my mother’s friend, who was babysitting.) After that incident, attempting to wrangle up three rambunctious boys, my parents did the only thing they could: hired a sixteen year-old dude with an SNES.

One evening, he brought over a copy of Final Fantasy VI."

Interesting read, I enjoyed it.

Esp. the layout and the art and quotes pulled from the text. Shows that a lot of work went into the article.

Best part was when the author included Terra's theme.. and you could play it and read the rest :)

Just wow. Lot of work. And great article

I'm playing FF VI on my S4 now! All those emotions, joy, frustrations (random battles!!!!) all come back! The starting characters are all memorable. (The characters from the 2nd half, however, are fillers at best.) They are all complex in emotion, yet simple in their goal. That make them all easy to be liked. And of cause the MUSIC!!!! Beside the Crystal Theme, which is introduced from FF IV, the Terra Theme at the beginning of the game is my all time favorite! I used to start the game many many times, just to watch the opening!!!!

Just started playing it on my S4 as well, so far so good but only played for 4-5 hrs. That menu song is pretty awesome, I had it sit it on the title screen for a good 5+ minutes before I started playing the game.

people cry for a ffvii remake, I think this would lend itself better to a remake.

Sketchy_Galore3679d ago

Fantastic article that really sums up the timeless beauty of easily one of my favourite games. Still, I wouldn't recommend anybody who hasn't played FF6 read this article as it is quite spoiler filled and the game holds up very well today. I would recommend you bookmark this article, play the game then come back and read about how someone else loved it just as much as you did.

FFVI is a timeless classic, surely one of the best games ever created.

_Decadent_Descent44d ago

I really do wish they'd give it the FF7R treatment.

phoenixwing44d ago

Ff6 is probably the most deserving for that

Cacabunga44d ago

Octopath traveller or Star Ocean remake treatment would fit it better i think

FinalFantasyFanatic44d ago

I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.

Wish they still made them like this, obviously with a graphic update.

Themba7644d ago

This arguably is my best game of all time out of the 40yrs I’ve been playing videogames

I have yet to play her FF game but the figure for 11k and it looks great the amount of detail. If I had the cash I would grab it and possibly the life size T-800 statue and the giant Devastator figure as well.

_Decadent_Descent753d ago

Easily the best FF. It deserves a remake.

Furesis753d ago

6 always seemed cool to me. I couldn't really get into it because how old the game was (i know i'm sorry) but i always wanted to experience it. Honestly i wanted a 6 remake more than 7(i dont feel 7 needed one tbh) but seeing how 7 remake is i don't think i would have wanted a game like that anyways. Something like ff x style with pre rendered backrounds or just fixed camera and turn based with modern graphics would be a dream come true for me. But i think it shall remain a dream unfortunately.

RedDevils753d ago

Better than 7 imo. 7 fanboy gonna hate me for saying so suck on it lol
