Since the release of the franchise’s first installment in 1987, Final Fantasy has rolled out one surprise reveal after another, sometimes having even multiple within a single storyline. This has led to a sizable divide between supporters and critics of the franchise, who’ve spent years debating which twists work and which thoroughly undermine the narrative that built up to it.
Looking back at Final Fantasy 6 on its 30th anniversary provides a snapshot of one of gaming's most important franchises at a pivotal turning point.

As for the orphanage thing again they did mention GFs cause memory loss at the start of the game, many people talk about it. A plot twist crazy and out of nowhere sure but it did have a bit of build up, it was just executed poorly
