why is it everyone seems to love this game just so much as they do?

now dont get me wrong as i think its an excellent game
jus not the best in the series as most seem to think
its not the worst in the series either though

so what is it you all love so much?

[Grinn]

It had a great story, a great cast of characters who had deep back stories, it looked way better than any Final Fantasy before it, it has tons of memorable scenes; some warm and funny, others sad and others shocking. The World of Balance/Ruin concept was really cool, as it gave you a whole new feel and look to the game, and it was and it still is just a whole lot of fun to play. Final Fantasy VI did so many things right.

You could ask the same question about every game thats deemed as a classic or excellent.

Pointless thread. GO

[Avarice-ness]

I agree with Rae.

I'm tired of people coming in the FFVI forum wanting people to defend the game.

This game is the number #8 top game of all time, the best Final Fantasy according to the all time game thing (It's the best ranked final fantasy). This game has equal if not slightly less fans of FF7.
This game came out during the peakish age of most of our child hood gaming times, meaning we were exposed to it earlier and became a fan at the age of nine (I know I'm not the only one) where as now, alot of FF fans are exposed to games later.

Due to that, the amount of fans will make it very difficult for you to know "what all the fuss is about" because we all like different aspects of the game. While 100,000 fans might like characters, people like me might like the fact the game is set up like a European opera. Still, since every person has an opinion, there most likely will not be an overall consensus.

Either way, if you don't see the reason why this game has the second largest fanbase in the final fantasy series, then it doesn't matter what we think because you're not going to like it regardless.

Because it was epic before epic was epic

And the mome rath Marky Tee outgrabe:

jus not the best in the series as most seem to think

Why not tell us what you think was the best in the series and why, then we could explain why FFVI is so much better
Otherwise we'd just be stating random points about how awesome the game is and then you'd just be all like "LOLZ ur all just a bunch of lame fanboiz/girlz" or "Look @ de nerds! I aint gonna listen to dem!"

[Marky Tee]

whoaa guys calm yourselfs
im not here to bash the game i do realy like it

Why not tell us what you think was the best in the series and why, then we could explain why FFVI is so much better

ff9 for the exact reasons grinn gave appart from lookin better than any before it cause 8's cgi's were awsome

maybe if i had played it on the snes when it first came out cause the ps1 versions loading times when you went to battles or into the menu realy sucked
thats what annoyed me about it

I don't class it as the best game out there, but it's certainly one of the better FF games. Why? The story, diverse and interesting cast of characters, the sidequests; the humour, the drama and the interesting concept of the world of balance/world of ruin.

Still, it's down to personal opinion as to what the best game is...so not everyone is going to love it.

[Marky Tee]

ye it was good for the humour
