FFVI is a straight-up masterpiece! No wonder people inside Square-Enix are pushing for a remake (either in 2D HD or 3D). Although I understand Kitase being afraid of the scope of such a task. If FFVII trilogy took 10 years for the whole thing (2017-27), how long would FFVI take to be remade?

I have mixed feelings about a remake but would definitely be interested. If nothing else, we have the pixel remasters.

"FFVI, the best Final Fantasy" Objectively true. Also, I loved Cyan more than is probably rational, given that he's not one of FFVI's "big guns".

VI was overstuffed and lacked dramatic direction! Final Fantasy IV is the true best.

Near-theoretical levels of wrongness.

Well, keep in mind, i was a Story Whore rather than a Grindmonkey. I thought the World of Ruin was the dullest, most boring thing... no more magical adventures with Terra, Locke, and Edgar, just grinding and taking on Kefka at your leisure. Honestly, the first time I got to the end of his...

...junky tower, I thought okay, beat Kefka and then the next chapter opens up! But as the fight went on, i realized... wait, is this the end already? I'd leveled up my party so much it was too easy. Over too soon. Bleh. But FFIV... I guess i was just younger, because i LIVED with that game...

...for years. Getting to the center of the moon to face Zemus was EPIC. That shit was my Star Wars, bro. Golbez was my Darth Vader. Memories of FFIV are just unbeatable. I'd give anything for a version of FFVI where the story wandered off into magical Esperland rather than the World of Ruin. : (

Fair enough. I agree the finale tends to be a bit anticlimactic. I went through almost exactly what you described with FFT as well. Was too ready for the final battle and just walked right through it.

This is so good! VI and IX are my favorite too. Cyan looks just like my dad so I always changed his name in my playthroughs.

I named all of the characters after myself and my friends at the time so I still tend to think of them as those people (Cyan became Brian). 🙂
