MarSolo Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I got it for my 14th birthday. My mother scoured through SEVERAL video game stores to find it, as for some reason three years after it came out it was hard to find. I never asked what she dropped cash wise on it, but it had to be a lot. FFVI, Chrono Trigger, A Link to the Past, and Mario Bros 3 are the four games I’ve replayed the most.

If the steam version fixed the text I'd probably go that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played with that type of visual style in so long. I probably can appreciate it since I grew up with it. In fact, pixel art aged better than most visual styles.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Still my favorite game of all time. Chrono Trigger is really close, but I always end up giving the edge to FF VI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the steam version fixed the text I'd probably go that route. From the second last patch: Quote A “Font type” option has been added to the config screen. This allows you to select between the “modern” font made for this version of the game or the “classic” font in the style of the original game. Looking at some of the other patch notes, they've changed some of the Esper level up bonuses, the most interesting being speed bonuses. Odin gives +2 to speed instead of +1 but Raiden now gives +2 to speed instead of +2 to strength so you can get Raiden right away without losing the option to boost speed. A couple Espers that didn't have bonuses now do (for another +1 to speed and to replace the +2 to strength that Raiden lost). I still don't see anything about getting to keep items stolen from the last boss like in the GBA version unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dualhunter Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 3 hours ago, best3444 said: I'll check psn for this and maybe try it out. Is there mini games in this? Sort of. There is the coliseum that except for 1 fight to get a character back into your party is completely optional. Other than that I suppose you could argue that a few things that happen once or twice are mini games. There are 2 spots where you control multiple parties with multiple advancing enemy parties and a stationary boss. They're both mandatory but not difficult. For the opera scene you have to select the right text at number of points. You're supposed to read a book for the correct lines before hand but you can always look up the correct lines and keep them handy either on paper or your phone, just don't take too long picking an option. There's a "fishing mini game" where you walk up to fish along the shore, grab at least one and bring it to an NPC. It's mandatory and has an effect on the NPC but it's just at one point. You'll be making multiple trips bringing fish but once it's done, it's not repeatable. Whether you get the good or bad scene doesn't matter for the rest of the game so go ahead and keep bring fish and just YouTube the other outcome if you don't feel like trying for both (either save before hand or on different play throughs of the whole game). Besides that there are a few sequences that are different than most of the game such as the serpent trench that could be loosely considered minigames if you stretch it. Don't bother trying to figure out the correct time for the clock in Zozo by talking to NPCs, just look it up online. I suppose you could consider the auction house a mini game but it's more like a store that wastes your time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DPCyric Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 This was one of the games I was most hyped about as a child. There was an EGM issue with a big preview of it (and I believe a moogle on the cover) and I cut those pages out and took them to school with me to show friends It lived up to the hype too I think I've beat it 4 times now and it is one of my favorite games of all time (if not my favorite). I'm pretty sure it will get the remake like VII is which will be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legend Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I suspect if they remake 6, they're going to split it into parts as well. Maybe after 7 part 3 and doing the full world map + air ship they'd be more comfortable doing this though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaysWho? Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 FF6 is a game I played for the first time in 2007, after I played FF7 and X and X-12 and XII. I don't remember if I played 8/9 before or after, but I can say despite playing all these other FFs, I really dug 6 for a lot of reasons. @Fizzzzle ended up being a great secondary villain who gives one of my favorite lines.

GameDadGrant Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Great game, and a me I’ve started several times over in the past. Never beat it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they have to split VI into 4 parts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
