25 years of Final Fantasy VI

After I finish my replay of FF 7 and 9 on Switch, I think I'll finally finish FF 6. Got to the Ruined world and got sidetracked by other stuff, so I really need to finish it.
It's in the running for third best, because Tactics and Final Fantasy V exist, but VI is a pretty good game, yeah.
My second favorite game of all time. Hold up well event today.
I play FFXIV and was so giddy when they did an entire endgame raid tier based on FFVI bosses. Fighting Kefka with that music blaring was SOOOOOO satisfying.

So did anyone really bother with Gau? It was a REAAAALLLY bad implementation of the blue mage class as far as I'm concerned.
I love this game so much. I have the The Grand Finale signed by Nobuo Uematsu, the SNES JP cratridge. I am still looking the the american version to buy and I have a FFVI tattoo of Terra. I am waiting to have some money to make a Kefka one.
I lost the counts of how many times I rented the game and played this. And then again on emulators. The opera scene, the Celes scene (that someone already posted a img and oh my heart). The suplex a train scene.
So many unforgetable moments. Did I already say that I love this games?

It would be more interesting to see that world realized with 3D models. FF7 we kind of already got that with stuff like Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core.
Unsure if anyone in this thread has requested a remake in the style of Octopath Traveler, but in case anyone has: no.
I love this game so much, and it had some of the best music in the series... There is one variation of the soundtrack that I loved above all others and that was this one right here:
Final Fantasy VI Grand Finale (Milan Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble Archi Della Scala, Svetla Krasteva)

I'm looking forward to doing V8S and finally seeing God Kefka in about two years.
My favorite thing about VI (well, one of them), is the general theme of the game that I didn't really appreciate as a kid - loss. Every character in the game is dealing with a loss in some way or other. Be it a loved one, or identity, memory, freedom, or some combination there of. All of them are traumatized by something, even the villains (Kefka's loss of sanity, etc).
As I got older and started to lose things, too, it resonates even more. In really bad times it reminds me to keep going, even when it feels like you can't.
I don't want to see a full 3d remake. I'd love to see one in the style of FFIV PSP though. I'm still boggled that Square hasn't done so (and even more confused as to why they haven't ported older some of these gems to current gen consoles. I'd love a lot of them on the Switch!).

Yes indeed. No other cast of characters feels as tightly knit yet diverse as FFVI's party.
My favourite FF game. Kefka's such a memorable villain and I've always found the villains of other mainline FFs never quite managed to leave an impression on me like he did. (Ted Woolsey's translation undoubtedly played a huge part in that, of course.)
Among all his classic lines, "'Wait,' he says. Do I look like a waiter?" still makes me smile.

I was just thinking about this right now.
Everybody laughs about how you can suplex a train... But after that fight Cyan says farewell to his wife and son... That was one of the moments that I got thinking "videogames can do this?". And that was one of the three substories you could do at that moment... This game is so special.

FF6 deserves better. It's strangely forgotten by the company beyond a lovely bit of XIV homage.
There should have been a 3D remake for it on the 3DS years ago.

I just wanted to jump in and say this is my favorite game of all time. It was the first JRPG I played from start to finish. Before this, I had no idea games could tell stories, much less through a broad cast of characters. I still have my original cart with the time maxed out.

Cyan was such a funny character in that specific dungeon. Especially if you interact with the restaurant room, he's so panicky about the food, rightfully so!My favorite and the best Final Fantasy! :D
And Phantom Train is the best ;)

I completely agree with you, well stated. FF6 is the best FF still, and seeing a remake of it like FF4 PSP would be amazing!
This game is better than 7. Fight me.
Also, I had a dream that CD Projekt Red teamed up with Square to remake this game and it looked perfect. The graphics were realistic and beautiful, combat looked well done and the voice acting and presentation were top of the line. Not to mention the orchestrated mixes of the soundtrack done by the man, Nobuo Uematsu. I would kill to have that become a reality. They even got Mark Hamill to do the voice of Kefka!

lol @ Celes just lying like she's relaxing at a beachThe ensemble
I think there's at least one romhack on romhacking.net that attempts to address the audio?
Truly the best Final Fantasy. IV holds a special place in my heart but just cannot compare to this masterpiece.
I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have played it and every single damn time it is an epic experience. Personally I think that everyone who claims to be a jrpg fan should play it through at least once.

My GOAT trio (FFVI, CT, and Earthbound) cycles through every so often, but these days I think FFVI is on top. Wonderfully epic, beautifully sincere, and buoyed by a musical magnum opus. It's the best.
There's a super underrated guy on Youtube that does FFVI covers with real instruments. The pieces sound like what I remembered hearing 25 years ago:
Terra's Theme, Coin Song, and Epitaph for life.

One and done, close this thread down.
I remember when the 15th anniversary happen and all we got from it was an overly literal Fan translation by RPGOne...
First final Fantasy where the main leads were both female, and both were well written and interesting.
