Clement Remembers Final Fantasy Six(ty minutes).
Superflaming85 perfect
Ha!
Yes
If FFVI ever gets a 3D remake, I want there to be a unique cutscene, like a secret factor, if you suplex the Train. And it show Sabin actually stopping the Train, and suplexing it. Wouldn't that be awesome!?
24techgamer it would
24techgamer wonder what theyll have to do with terras beastiel (or however its spelled) form in a 3D remake since shes technically naked xD
Fusion Wing Probably what they did in Dissidia, where she's like a Barbie Doll and has no tits or privates
In the original concept art her esper form don't even have tits, and her privates are hairy or in white fire
vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/f/f7/Esper_Terra_III.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120725071300
Sooo.... like is an ugly apearance, I don't think there is too much things to censor in her original concept form.
If Sabin ever appears in Dissidia I want him Suplexing the train to be his ultimate
Terra: transforms
young Clement: oh jeez i hope this doesn't cause some sort of awakening withing me
Clement: transforms
You should have mentioned that Relm is Shadow's daughter that he abandoned because he believed she was to good for him. It's why his dog acts so protective towards her. And that even at the end of the game he never tells her because he still doesn't believe he deserves to be happy.
He didn't mention a lot of things, but to be fair, it's such a deep game that even if he were to double the length of this video he still wouldn't be able to cover everything.
@@tuneablestar1712 Fair
Actually, if you think about it, Final Fantasy 2's entire story is based on Star Wars in a way. An evil emperor with the power to shoot lightning (Mateus/Palpatine) rules over an entire world/galaxy and the only ones who can stop him are a group of rebels including a young man (Firion/Luke) with a powerful sword (Blood Sword/Lightsaber), a princess that helps with aiding the rebellion (Hilda/Leia), and a man with a ship who shouldn't necessarily be involved, but is anyway (Cid/Han). But the Empire also has a trick up their sleeve with a dark-clad warrior who happens to be related to one of the rebels (Leo/Vader) who helps construct a massive death machine (Dreadnaught/Death Star) that can only be destroyed by disrupting the power supply to it.
Also, I've said this before, but Final Fantasy VI actually feels like an opera. Or a work of theater of some kind.
6 is More Like The Last Kingdom and Game of Thrones Type
If it was like an opera, I would imagine in the ending where everyone's clapping and the entire cast comes in to bow.
Clement: I was hitting puberty
Me: "on the floor laughing"
WAIT WHY AM I ADMITTING THIS IN A VIDE-
"Clement Remembers His Sexual Awakening! (Terra)"
funniest part XD
Also Clement: I was 7 when feeding Cid.
Fuck, so much nostalgia. This game is sincerely Japan's national treasure.
Bah, it's more than just a game. This is an experience on so many levels.
Ah, the dilemma of Cid's feeding minigame... how you can actually save him if you feed him only the right fish, but you get nothing special for it (Cid doesn't even react differently if you bring Locke or other party members to see him) and it costs you the sheer emotion of the cutscene you would've gotten if he died.
We all knew that the "audition" was just an excuse for Mog to level grind.
Considering he has a +5 level modifier
No mention of Dancing Mad? I'm dissapointed :(
I was waiting for that this entire video and was hoping he would mention it in the final battle segment but nope... welp, can't always recognize greatness where it exists lul
Don't you mean mad :D
This game holds a special place in my heart. It wasn't the game that really introduced me to RPGs (the Lunar series and maybe FF7 did that more substantially, but I do recall my uncle playing this at times...though I didn't know it was FF6 until many years later...I was a slow kid lol), but it definitely showed me how refined it could be, and how limitations in development were nothing compared to the drive and ambition that game creators could bring. I first played this game around 2009, and it was at a time when my life was changing profoundly. My dad had lost his job, we were losing our house, classes were becoming tedious, my family was going through a civil issue of sorts, illness was impacting both me and another family member...things were pretty bleak. And then this game became a sort of escape...and showed me perhaps the most profound and adult lesson that was needed at the time. Life will be full of struggles, full of times where everything seems finished...but there is always a chance to get right back up and succeed. As long as one holds on to that drive, no hardship shall be too much to overcome. Even through all their tragedies...losing family members, friends, themselves, and even the world as they knew it...the characters of FF6 held on to those aspects that they believed in and cherished, and it aided them in ultimately taking down Kefka and all that he represented. It helped provide solace to me in such difficult times, and that is why it is so special to me. I still get emotional whenever I hear the final theme that plays during the credits, for it truly catches that feeling of liberation and solace that arises from coming out on the other side of hardship. This game is a masterpiece, a work of art, and in my opinion is the best that this franchise has ever produced. Hopefully another game, whether it is FF or not, will catch that impression again some day, but at least I got to experience it.
Sorry for the story, couldn't help myself. Btw, no need to feel embarrassed about finding certain...personal awakenings in the game Clement. I had a similar experience in FF7 to some extent when Cloud cross-dressed, and for different reasons. Just throwing it out there. What can I say, video games truly can be impactful lol.
No problem. And that's an interesting story. I hope everyone of yours is doing ok.
@@jjc4924 Indeed they are, things ultimately worked out :)
Agree.
"Video games can tell a story just as good as any book or movie."
And that is why I love them and why I love Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is the reason I write. It makes me smile to hear you say that and affirm why the series has inspired me so much.
A huge note about the tower of destruction battle leading up to the final boss (and the god form of Kefka as well): It was heavily influenced by Dante's Inferno where you have to travel through the circles of hell and at the end you meet God.
I'm a little sad there was hardly any mention of General Leo. :'( RIP
My Saturday has meaning now ✨
Duro Atama Ikr?
Duro Atama, this video is the second reason for my Saturday. The other reason I was getting Ever Oasis, yet this blown the first reason out of the water. Pun intended.
I finished this game just yesterday... and you know what? It's one of the best experiences I've had. This is coming after I played most modern games too, everything from the soundtrack to the story is just special and full of heart.
I love how Kefka's tower is made from the ruins of the empire and magitech. Just scraps of metal and cables and wires.
I really hope one day somebody does a Final Fantasy animated series, where each game would be adapted into a separate season. That would be fantastic, wouldn't it?
Yes it would be and I would watch it 20 times over
They're kinda doing that now with Castlevania. And it's great.
That was exactly my thought with ff5. It just made sense
FF 6 onwards can't be adapted in a single season. Even 24 episodes are not enough for an entire FF game.
It'd be like jojo's in a sense.
FF6 is one of those games that's basically every bit as good as people say it is. I played it as a teen during the PS2 era and was still blown away by what is probably the best "traditional" story I've seen in a game. It's a game that holds up on almost all fronts and is survived mostly by its soundtrack on constant replay (along with countless remixes). It's hard for me to recommend it as someone's "1st" Final Fantasy if only because it has a high chance of making subsequent FF experiences seem like a big downgrade. While it isn't my #1 FF game, it's top 2 on my personal list and I wouldn't argue with anyone claiming it as the best JRPG ever made.
29:37 - Also even though they don't really say it, it's kind of implied that Kefka was the one who poisoned Edgar and Sabin's father.
I loved how, when you first enter a battle after the world breaks, the first enemies you fight are low hp and poisoned from the start. That effected me more than Celes' attempt.
Anyway, yeah, 6 is my personal favorite for pretty much all the reasons you listed. The story is absolutely amazing. I don't have nostalgia for this series, I only started playing these games about a year ago, so take it from me when I say that the 16-bit hardware the game is running on does absolutely nothing to hinder anything in this game. Voice acting and shiny CG would have added nothing and potentially subtracted things. The Cid scene at the beginning of WoR is actually pretty clever. You will most likely not be able to save him on your first play through, but knowing what happens? I worked my ass off to save his ass upon repeat playthroughs. I liked Cid, I liked Celes, I don't like seeing their torment. Preventing the universe where Cid dies and Celes gives up is a goal. I feel like I genuinely saved someone's life upon repeat playthroughs. Little nuances like that really puts this games story above everything prior. Gameplay wise? I feel it's a perfect blend of 4 and 5. Each character has something unique about them, like 4, but you can also customize them to your liking through espers and, to a certain extent, relics. Everyone felt like their own special character without needing to take control away from me and dictating how I should utilize these characters. Is the game easy? Sure, but keep in mind that, due to how the game is designed, the difficulty is up to you. Like you said, most of the World of Ruin is optional. You can go right up to Kefka and whoop his ass if you so choose. Game certainly isn't easy if you decide to do that. Doing the optional stuff, then, rewards you with extra abilities and characters to make that task much easier. It really isn't that much different than most Final Fantasy games and optional content, only difference is that the optional content has a huge significance on the plot. Overall, 6 has yet to be topped in my book. Some have definitely come close, including the next game in the series, but there have always been little things that prevent those games from topping this one.
46:00 - I think the worst thing about the whole 'Cid dying' scenario is that it's preventable. But the thing is if you're playing this for the first time in the 90s before you have Internet access, you likely don't know this, and you end up feeling worse when you realize that you could have prevented that death all along.
You missed the reference!
"Terra approaches the Esper and turns into a Super Sayan."
Final Fantasy 6 is fantastic and one of my favorites in the series along with 4 and 9. The music is memorable, the characters are great, so many memorable moments, and a great FF villain to boot Kefka.
I remember Kefka's laugh from FF7
Clement's reaction to "I was hitting puberty" had me on the floor laughing.
And so the Golden Age comes to a close with the Finest Fantasy...
Also, it actually is possible to save Cid. Difficult, but possible. If you do this, Celes doesn't attempt suicide.
And that's what I get for commenting before/while watching it...
In do the same thing lol
I think Cid dying is more fulfilling in terms of characterization and storytelling. Even after I learned it was possible to save him, I never bothered to try. Celes's suicide attempt is one of the most powerful moments in any game I've ever experienced, I would hate to ruin it.
God damn Clement that just made me cry the whole backstories of every single character like holy shit I felt sad especially when Celes tried to commit suicide I wanted to cry in fact I did feel like crying. So basically give everybody Ultima and kefka is not a problem okay got it. This game definitely sounds fantastic and yeah it is easy but who gives a shit if the game is well structured. Also Young Clement crushed on Beast Terra when he was a kid that sounds adorable. So now if you guys will excuse me I'm going to go and play Final Fantasy 6 GBA and I got to go make my team overpowered as hell.
Your reviews-analyses of the FF series are phenomenal. You take us on a fucking nostalgic trip, and man it feels good! I'm so glad I watched this. Thanks!
I love these long videos my guy! They're a real treat to watch!
Even just summarizing the storylines made me feel some kind of way. This game is pure art.
So many parts of this video had me in tears. I was 11 when this game came out and I played it at least once every single year for the next 7-8 years. Now I play it a bit less often but I still try to squeeze in all my SNES rpgs in once in a while. This game always makes me so emotional as it represents the best time of my life, my entire childhood/teen years. Everytime I hear the music, I cry like a baby lol. I wish I could get amnesia just so I could relive playing it for the first time once again !!! ;)
Two minutes in, already said this is better than Chrono Trigger... off to a good start.
...I'm more in the other camp but only because the battle system is more simplistic, but both are fantastic for what I've seen
CT is so overrated to me
I want ffvi 3d remake so everyone can SIMPING Terra and Celes
Oh sweetie, if only we lived in such a world 😔
I don't have to choose? Thank god.
Well Dissidia exists, there's a 3d model of Terra there if you really want it that badly, honestly Dissidia kicks so much ass that I consider it a must buy for anyone with a PSP or Vita anyway.
Snap. Right before bed, too!
I gotta catch this another time, but this is great stuff!
I remember tearing up as a kid every time I saw shadow stay behind at the end and lets realm and interceptor go.
Loved watching this. Such a passionate look back on my favourite game of all time, thank you!
This was the most touching retrospective Ive ever heard. Thank you Clement! Kefkas theme is among my favorites in the entire series. It suits him PERFECTLY.
Wow...i never knew all this was in this game, never knew how amazing and heartfelt it is. i'll admit, with this game's story and how well you were telling it alongside your own experiences with it, i got teary-eyed.
As someone who has been a fan of your videos for a long time, I must say how impressed I am in the way you've grown in your video presentations. You put a lot of hard work and time into your projects and the high quality shows. Another excellent video sir.
Thank you for an amazing episode. I was nearly in tears reliving the ending of this fantastic game.
FF6 was just incredible. I loved other FF's too, but FF6 to me was an utter masterpiece. The music, the design, the story. Wonderful.
Clement thank you after watching this you've convinced me to finally get around to playing this game and I'm extremely looking forward to it so again thank you
I have never played this and i almost cried during this video, now that's a good story
Good on you, big dawg. It was definitely a treat to sit down and watch this whole thing. Thank you for putting this out and all the time and effort that went into this
Another great video, probably the best in the series, the way you go through the story and gameplay is really well done
47:16 Oh, how Nobuo is such a genius, even the darkest of themes can sound great.
I rented FF6 at my local video rental store back in the 90s and it was what got me into RPGs. I was hooked ever since. Played through the game multiple times in a row. You hit it on the head, the game is a work of art. The characters and story are amazing. Great overview..
I can't wait for him to talk about 9. it needs more recognition.
william corey god yes...
I'm currently playing it for the first time and i'm really loving it, very interested to hear Clement's opinion on it too
I loved the shit out of 9. That's probably my favorite game in the series, although 6 and 10 are pretty close. 9 is also my favorite PS1 game.
Oh absolutely. My favorite in the series, hands down, and one of my favorite JRPGs ever.
Yep, 9 is way up there along with 6 as the best in the series. It's sad how so many people dismissed it just because of the art style.
Just knowing somebody else has the memory of the opening for this game emblazoned on their mind makes me feel less lonely. It’s so simple and also sad and powerful which reflects the story and characters so well.
Clement... cast invisible on Gau and have him use the Magic-Urn rage...
he's litterally invincible.
Don’t know why some people have said Terra is not the main character. The creators said there was no official one but if you had to choose between the 14 characters, it’s definitely Terra.
She's the one who made it to _Dissidia,_ sure, but she's completely optional in the World of Ruin. I tend to think of Terra as the protagonist of the World of Balance (despite her freaking out and leaving the party, she's still everybody else's motivation) but Celes as the protagonist of the World of Ruin.
13:00 - In the original cut, they were planning on allowing you to use Leap anywhere, but they ended up not being able to do that because Gau would reappear in places where it would softlock the game because certain scenes couldn't play properly, or certain characters couldn't join the party when they needed to.
"I give you your life back, which was taken from you the day I left it." - best line from Rachel.
I agree, the score for this game is high up there within the ranks of the series. The scale it helps to create in tandem with the backgrounds really makes this game stand out among its peers. Though not my favorite score overall in the franchise, there's no doubt that Uematsu peaks here.
We shared playing FF6 at a similar time and age, and your recap brought back the memories and emotions. Thanks!
Just watching the video made me cry, I haven't even played VI before XD
Heya Clement!
Long time viewer and sub, just wanted to let you know that after many years of playing the FF series, I never truly finish FFVI (my last attempt I rage quit after learning I could have saved Shadow).
You've inspired me to give it another shot and appreciate it for the game it is rather than get carried away in characters and stats.
Hope your summer break is good to you!
Clement I was feeling it I felt absolute sadness when you were talking about all the sad back story's and the suicide oh my god I felt true emotion like everything was done and if the credits were to role like that it would leave a sour taste in my mouth but this truly is the saddest ff game
Hands down, this is the greatest Final Fantasy game in my eyes. The story telling is amazing, I love the graphics style pulled off with the 16 bit limits, the music is awesome, I literally can't say enough good about this game.
Great video Clement. I really like this series of videos
Really looking forward to see your video on 7, especially since it also happens to be my favorite FF game
Just finished watching the FFVI Lp of The Super Gaming Bros. yesterday, this is a perfect timing.
I like the way a specific mod handled the Rage command. Instead of being uncontrollable, you use a skill related to that enemy, and gain their attributes. For instance, if an enemy is floating, you will float after you use the attack. If they absorb holy, you will as well. It's much more usable then the normal Rage is.
clement you are amazing and you always put a smile at my face with your videos with your reactions, your my fav
Aaaaah the gushing about this game. I've been gushing since 1996 about this one, and for good reasons you brought up! Thank you for taking the time to say what we all feel: This game is just an amazing work of art that anyone who wants to experience the series NEEDS to play!
I went to a Final Fantasy Distant Worlds show which is pretty much Final Fantasy music done with an opera and orchestra and I shit you not Nobuo Uematsu the LEGEND himself came out and performed The World of Ruin or Dark World and part of me wonder if he has a special attachment to this piece of what the deal is but man it was BEAUTIFUL HAUNTING and then somebody proposed to the Zanarkand FF10 song and they ended with Sephiroth One Winged Angel teasing something was missing my God what an amazing experience I still have my ticket stub somebody recorded and posted to CZcams under Distant Worlds Boston Dark World was the piece but the whole show even FF13 songs it was something else !!!!!! I'll never forget..... my friend also brought his sister in law who didnt necessarily like Final Fantasy but like opera shows and now may not play the games but LOVES the music which is just amazing to me....=')
*looks at inbox* Finally!
*sees video lenght* Poor poor Clement. The editing must have been a real hell. Can't wait to watch it!
Awesome work Clement, your best yet!
Good gosh, the feels this game leaves is still so real
It's okay Clement, Terra was mai Waifu when I was a kid too.
I played this for the first time about 2-3 years ago and whilst not my favourite, it did lead me to one of the very few times a game has made me shed tears, the game as a whole is emotional but that scene with Celes, god damn that was heart breaking.
I've played pretty much every Final Fantasy game there is, and still to this day, I consider VI the best one, BY FAR.
I vividly remember renting it back in the day, and continuing to rent it over and over until I finally beat it, which I eventually did. This is honestly the first video game that has ever brought me to tears with the dark and traumatic scenes it contained. Also, it was one of the first times that I can remember that the villain actually did what he set out to do, to destroy the world...
Many scenes in the game were just moving, and of course the opera scene is one of those times. Never before have I seen that in a game, and as a whole, the game to me seemed like a long play or movie, it's THAT good. The story of Locke and Rachel especially hit me the hardest, when he found out she regained her memory just before she was murdered, that was so damn sad...and Cyan losing his wife and son, and seeing their dead bodies on my screen, it really freaked me out at the time, and I really just felt so bad for him. And Celes in the world of Ruin, I honestly had Cid die on me the first time I played through it as well, and that part there really made me break down, but when she regained hope when she found a bird with Locke's bandanna, just really got me pumped up, knowing that it wasn't over and there was still hope that everyone is still alive, somewhere.
All in all, it's one of my favorite RPG's of all time (Chrono Trigger being a VERY close second, but honestly I think it's just as good as FFVI) and whenever the time hits, I think I will sit back and play through it once again, and to think back and reflect...
5:23 That first name. I'm already sold on playing this game myself.
I am being a Broken record at this point, but this series from you is great. Eagerly waiting for The next Part.
I can't wait till you get to my personal favortie FF game, Final Fantasy IX. In my opinion it is such a fantastic RPG, and although it had a rocky start, it gained a big following, me being a part of it. Think what happened with Wind Waker. Its still a serious story, but it also has that lighthearted feel that really makes you feel that you're going through a grand adventure to save all of Gaia. Never has a game impacted me like IX, and I seriously can't wait for it's retrospective. Even if you don't agree, I still think its the best Final Fantasy game, and would've been the best RPG in my opinion had The World Ends With You didn't exist.
One thing I recently learned about FF VI, there was gonna be a sequel to this called The Power Within
Watched a couple of these videos and now I've had final fantasy music in my head for like a week, you spoony bard.
when I beat FF6 for the first time, and I had all the characters, I cried for the first time at a video game
Thank you for making this retro special I love ot and I sent it to all my need buddies lol
I was already informed of keeping Cid alive by feeding him the faster fish before I played, so I always tried to make sure Cid lived. I think on my fourth playthrough, even though I tried, Cid still died. I had never actually seen the scene, because I had a fear of it from word-of-mouth alone. Watching it, even having been spoiled and seeing the game many times before, it was not at all less heart-wrenching. I didn't even know Celes attempted suicide --- I actually thought when it happened that it was something unrelated, or anything but what it was.
This video wasn't even in my Subscriptions menu, thank you Recommended For You!!!
Great work on this!
I used to think Gau sucked, until I realized how devastating he can be with the right Rages.
The Veldt system he uses to learn them, however, can die in a fire. In the late game, trying to get Magic Urn or Rafflesia Rages for him is a nightmare.
DarkEinherjar One word: Shock!
Aw yeah! Been waiting for this!
I love that ad, good way to open the video :3
17:20-17:50 Clement has officially reached top editor status, and one of my favorite CZcamsrs
I love starting this game on my snes. the starting screen looks so epic
First time I played, I left Shadow behind not realizing you could wait. While I was exploring the World of Ruin, I learned about my mistake and immediately started over. I was THAT invested in the characters and refused to finish the game without all of them. And it was absolutely worth it (the playthrough was better as I knew how to handle what I faced before).
And I am one of those guys who feels this is the best one, completely. I started with the first and played through them in original US release order up to 10.
FFVI definitely has the edge in Music and Characters what with each party member getting a personal theme and a backstory and sidequest either growing or gaining as people they feel the most human cause they're written so beautifully Celes and Locke in particular are among my favorite videogame characters because of their backstories and development.
I won't deny this game is among the best Snes games ever made if not best Jrpgs ever made but I have issue with the combat because since everyone has a unique ability either magic, tools, blitz, or Sword Tech etc. there is far less emphasis on Fighting with weapons hell since everyone can learn magic through Magicite the weapons are almost pointless since the game wants to focus on Terra then Celes who are magic knights leaning toward the magic half.
The plot has it's moments but it kinda gets fumbled about from oh let's take Terra to Figaro oh let's regroup in Narshe oh let's find Terra oh let's have dinner with the emperor everything in between these segments kinda slogs I think and without a guide you can miss important things you'd otherwise wouldn't know about.
I do enjoy the party switching more then most cause it feels like the group doesn't rely heavily on 4 party members the whole game but my god the music from Coin of fate to Celes's theme nothing will ever come close to Searching for Friends it is by far my favorite track from the game and worth playing all of the World of Balance hearing again because the game leaves finding the other party members and fulfilling sidequest all up to the player and it's just fantastic.
I'll always prefer IV but VI is just so damn memorable for it's characters and music it's worth experiencing all over again.
Whelp thanks for remembering Clement I only have played the Nintendo FF games my family felt betrayed because squaresoft released their next FF game on the Playstation which my family never has liked really so I hear both arguments of FF7 being overrated, timeless, to meh but if it's your favorite I'll hear ya out.
Joseph Ballesteros the decisive battle is my absolute favorite theme in this entire game, from a soundtrack that is just GLORIOUS, ranging from calm and serene to fast and pumped up, from making you feel the ultimate despair to the ultimate hope
There's a romhack of FFVI called "Brave New World" which completely rebalances nearly everything gameplay related, like limiting certain magicite to certain people (so not everyone can use healing magic or offensive spells. Everyone still gets magic, but it's not as free-flowing as base FFVI where you have characters like Setzer acting as a White Mage and Terra the Red Mage as an example), rebalancing Tools/Bushido techniques, rebalancing stats to no longer turn Magic Evasion into gamebreaking trash while at the same time making other stats like Stamina worth a damn, fixing all of the bugs like Evasion not working and Vanish + Doom/X-Zone, and a whole host of other miscellaneous changes to gameplay like nerfing the back row damage reduction from 50% less damage taken to 25% less damage taken and changing Esper level up bonuses to no longer be tied to leveling up. It's pretty much as close to a FFVI remake we can ever get without an official true remake. Keep in mind though that while it is harder than base FFVI, it's not meant to be looked as a difficulty mod, but rather an attempt to correct a lot of combat issues FFVI had.
The script did get another fan-translation within that hack though so if you're not a fan of the new script then tough shit. Though Relm calling Strago a jackass before you go off towards the Esper World is admittedly pretty funny, among other moments. It's not a bad translation, but if it isn't your cup of tea you'll just have to put up with it.
Evil Lucario
it's weird to think how broken some of these games are but are fixed by fans now Vigor and Magic evasion actually having purpose I can get into that as for translation Woolsey is fun and timeless but the original script is usually better
Carstea Florentin
I agree so much, The Decisive Battle is so goddamn good. The Black Mages version is even better though.
I don't really like romhacks. I usually like to enjoy the original. The only romhack I love playing is the one for Megaman X3, where you can play as both X Zero for the entire game and can switch between X and Zero whenever you want. Zero can fight bosses, can pick up heart tanks, subtanks, ride mech armors and so on. He's a fully playable character. Even the script has been modified to feature both X and Zero, and I'm recognising it as the official game.
technically according to a lot of the Japanese material Terra is at least the primary protagonist though I do agree with Matt/Johnny of SGB that Celes shares the role once you get into the World of Ruin
The most terrifying of monsters...... MOG!!!
Them modernising and adding technology to the setting here adds so much, really comes to a head in 15 when it's like the real world just with giant monsters in the lands between towns and cities
I just played this game (gba version) over a month ago to get a intake of the game before the video and after completed it....DAMN. Im not a big fan of RPGs (pokemon is the exception), but to me the game still holds up because of the story and charm. The only FF game I played was 7 since it was one of the first Playstation game I ever played but actually experiencing these game made me glad I got to play them especially 6. I always looking forward for ur retropects especially 7 since that one i do have memories with. Now I see why FF VI is one of the AVGN favorite games.
Great retrospective! I actually didn't know that Drill and AutoCrossbow were guaranteed hits. I loved chainsaw, but next time I play I'm going to change that up.
While VI is an amazing game, I found that IV had one advantage in it's limitations. Because you HAD to have particular characters at certain times, you had perfectly tailored dialog to each character. Come the World of Ruin and the infinite party members you could have, you lost some of that specialization for generic dialog. Still, amazing game.
Oh, and you want to beat the snot out of MagiMaster? Bring Umaro. Since he's just berserker rage anyway, Umaro will continue smashing the crap out of the MagiMaster with his bone club and no worries to what spell wall he has up. Hmm... wonder if casting berserk on characters would do the same thing then?
well the chainsaw does more damage than the drill, but the chainsaw has risk of that 1-KO that might miss and doesn't affect bosses, which is why I prefer the drill because it's a guaranteed hit.
Yeah, _Berserk_ works in the tower, and so does the Berserk accessory (a ring, IIRC). I remember it being way more difficult than using magic, though. Then again, I tended to go through there with Reflect accessories, which works great until the MagiMaster's Ultima death move. There are a couple random encounters that cast other spells that ignore reflect.
And with Umaro, make sure he doesn't have the Snow Orb equipped, because he'll never use it when the MagiMaster is vulnerable to Ice.
I love this game as well. It and VII trade off for my favorite and second favorite FF depending on my mood much like how II and VIII trade the fourth and fifth slots. I still remember watching my cousin play this years after I beat it for the firt time and being shocked when I found out he had saved Cid, something I though was impossible.t
this made me super nostalgic
I recently played VI for the first time recently and I loved it. I really enjoyed the characters and their stories (especially the Figaro brothers). And the Espur system was pretty neet.
It was satisfying as hell to destroy Kefka's god form with a chainsaw, martial arts, ninja stars and Ultima (i.e. Using Edgar, Sabin, Shadow, Terra and Celes).
Now I'm currently on VII as part of my journey through the series as I've never played any of them (except XV).
You've reminded me just how good this game is...
I truly enjoy this game for its soundtrack (especially "Searching for Friends"), and for how dramatic it is!
While Final Fantasy IV remains my personal favorite in the series, VI is what I consider the best in the series as far as story telling goes.
That the BEST Final Fantasy in the 15 game series STILL hasn't gotten a 3d remake is fucking criminal.
But maybe it's a good thing. Maybe they'd just screw it up.
FFVI was a triumph of game engineering. Graphics, music, the epic, EPIC storytelling and characterization hasn't been matched yet in this combination.
Don't get me wrong. FFVII was groundbreaking and phenomenal it still holds up even when not being carved to pieces by "remakes", but if FFVI had the cinematic graphical power FFVII had there wouldn't be a question that FFVI was superior. We're a visual species and graphics mean a lot. Just the way it is.
Maybe THAT'S why FFVI will never get a 3d remake. Hm.
This is my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time!! It's also my 2nd favorite SNES game next to Super Mario World. Kefka is my favorite villain in the series and Celes is my favorite Final Fantasy character. My favorite moment in VI is the opera scene...so gorgeous!
To save Cid, you need to capture those fast moving fish. Those are the healthy ones.
He clarifies that towards the end of the video, after the story synopsis.

While this is true, I honestly feel like canonically, Cid is meant to die here. The pigeon with Locke's bandana is what gives her that hope that everyone, especially Locke, is still alive.
@@agranosclem And you can argue that Cid deserves to die, since his magitek is what doomed the world. Especially when you consider how they get the power and how he broke Kefka in his early experiments. Unintended consequences? Yep. Still kinda responsible.
I wouldn't argue that Celes deserves to lose him, however.
