Let's discuss one of the most beautiful games on the SNES.
Pitfall
FF7 and 5 were leagues better.
>>2839950
It was ok as far as FF goes.
>>2839950
Only FFVI fans would be arrogant enough to have such a blatant thread for fanwankery.
>>2840032
FFV has only fun going for it, FFVII is an overrated, convoluted oil allegory with a Lavos wannabe but with some good characters, decent world and memorable scenes.
>>2840261
>FFV has only fun going for it,
You say that like that shouldn't be the primary purpose of these games or that it doesn't completely overrule everything else. Either way, FFV is put together much better than VI is.
Every Dragon Quest game shits all over any final fagassy game. sage
>>2840304
>playing games for fun
I honestly quite like FFV, it's one of my favorites but aside from the job system and few humorous lines, the game is fairly blah. I feel its OST is one of the weakest especially.
>>2840319
>and few humorous lines, the game is fairly blah. I feel its OST is one of the weakest especially.
You just described how I feel about VI.
Can you people shut up. We are talking about FF6 not any other FF game!!! FUCK.
>>2840319
Idk why people keep saying V has the weakest OST in the series. It doesn't have "epic" like VI's operas or VII's OWA but I find it very solid. Fight and boss themes were among the best (especially Neo Exdeath) and there is a bunch of strong atmospheric tracks like Ship Graveyard or Sorrows of Parting. It probably just doesn't stick out as much for people because the music wasn't used that extensively to accompany the story.
Back to the topic though, FFVI is definitely one of the most beautiful SNES games, but I like it a bit less than V and VII for several reasons I won't be going through right now. Split party dungeons are certainly on the top though, because they wound my OCD. Confession time: I've played FFVI to the very end 4 or 5 times but I don't think I've ever legitimately bothered to beat Kefka's Tower.
Final fantasy 6 is the worst ff after ff2
>>2840347
>but I like it a bit less than V and VII for several reasons I won't be going through right now.
Tell us
>>2840367
>Final fantasy 6 is the worst ff after ff9
FTFY
>>2840335
No.
I really don't think VII is even in the same class as the SNES games. The incredibly dated 3D kills it, while the 2D stuff definitely has more of a "timeless" quality to it.
I'm very interested to see how the upcoming remake handles things though, as currently I can't bear to look at it.
>>2840374
The best thing about 9 is that it rewards you for speedrunning it by giving you the excalibur2.

A masterpiece!!!!
:)
Genuine spoiler.
FFVI would have been better if Celes was the viewpoint character from the beginning.
>>2840436
Great duality.
>>2840425
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lpj0wJeS3hg
>>2840347
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuizMqRsTpY This is one of the hypest songs in the series. People are just stupid.
>>2840436
Nice, never realized that.
Is there some romance subplot between Celes Shere and Locke Cole?
>>2840501
Yes but it's not hamfisted so FF8 fans tend to miss it.
>>2840535
I thought it was fairly obvious.
>>2840545
It's incredibly obvious; Locke immediately attaches himself to any girl with trust issues, much like he does with Terra at the start; Celes just actually starts reciprocating around the time of the Opera.
>>2840442
sell the premake idea to squeenix kupo
>>2840436
people keep comming back to the opera scene. Id say the Cyan at the train depot is my favorite.
>>2839950
whos that blonde chick?is that supposed to be terra? mess.
>>2839950
*fixed
>>2840883
how do you get ghost in that party
>>2840442
it would have been different for sure but can't say I'd be certain. Locke was an every-man that could be related to. Celes would then be taking orders from Kefka in the beginning right? But she had her own personal decision to disobey him. Would the player have the choice to or not? Id play this hypothetical game tho.
>>2841009
the train sir.
>>2840985
one my faves is"how do we know, unless we, observe for ourselves?"
my top is"power only breeds war. i wish id never been.. born"
>>2841009
put an "A" after sabin's name while naming him without a rename card
>>2840436
Why was Celes still alive after she jumped off a cliff?
>>2841010
>Locke was an every-man that could be related to.
I don't see how one can relate to a thief/grave robber unless one is a criminal himself.
>>2841039
Fate/luck? She was jumping into the ocean, which is surely dangerous but plausible to survive. (especially with over a thousand HP)
>>2841009
game genie shit
>>2841045
He's a treasure hunter, you dick.
>>2841032
lol dude you liked the scene with the 90s hippie sex
not that I'm judging but you caught me off guard with that one
>>2840442
It's not like we miss out on much of her story. She comes in very early and only leaves briefly after the Magitek factory. A lot of people say that Terra is the protagonist for WoB but there's a big chunk where Terra runs off and Locke & Celes become the focus.
>>2839950
I never played the game, and have no intention to change that (kind of tired of the permanent FF hype), but that artwork is pretty
>>2841258
AHHHHH rekt.
>>2841297
Some NPCs are sprinkled about that allude to her doing some bad things and Celes herself on at least on occasion IIRC. She was involved in the occupation of Maranda and the game was never clear on whether or not Celes was a spy. Aside from Cecil who's never seen doing anything explicitly evil, we've never had an outright bad turned good character be the MC.
>>2841258
/r/ing the collage pic of the mod where he says "that's DRUG DEALING!"
I just bought FFIV Advance, FFV Advance and FFVI Advance. Should I play them in release order or what?
>>2842496
yes
I love this game atmosphere, the kind that you hold onto. I feel that the only time the you separate yourself from the atmosphere is when you totally top playing, rare nowadays with all the tutorials, loading screens, non-subtle references and 4th wall breaking.
Tales of Phantasia is also good in that department, any other RPGs like these?
>>2840883
the absolute madman
>>2842706
I never see the Tales of series get the facetime it deserves in the West. Excellent game series, better than FF in my opinion.
I even keep the Dejap SFC version around for historical reasons.
>>2840883
BRUTAL!
I pump Sabin full of magic so that his magical Blitzs get even stronger.
Greatest idea or greatester idea?
>>2841039
BULK
>>2841305
>Legit Leo Finale
>That dumb frog/police light gif
I don't even know why it was funny but I couldn't stop laughing
>>2841768
Working script had her initially acting as a legit spy against the party and supposedly nearly as mentally broken as Kefka. In any case, she probably didn't go out of her way to murder/torture noncombatants but I don't doubt she killed any who legit resisted her. For that matter so did Cecil; they're pretty much on par.
>>2841039
somebody had cast Life 3 on her one more time than she remembered, it's a mistake anybody could make :(
>Everyone Can Cast Every Spell At Any Time: The Game
>>2846760
you say that like it's a bad thing
>>2846760
yeah if you grind like hell
When I was a kid, I would always stop to grind as soon as I got the airship. My grandma would take over and fight Intangirs while I ate or watched TV or whatever. Looking back, it's a pretty shitty grind spot but she still mastered all of the espers on every character for me.
>>2847029
>other kids' grandmas grinded levels for them in FF6

>>2847483
these visuals actually look good
I played through ff6did not regrouped with terra... she was waiting till endgame movie in that ruined village
This game is great
More fanart pls
>>2847870
>cigarettes
Is Terra the greatest and most beautiful artistic creation by humankind in the past century? She will probably be considered more important than the mona lisa in the future desu
>>2847549
Terra has the cutest sprites of just about any SNES game I've played, that alone was part of the reason I kept her in my party whenever possible.
I didn't really like her artwork or her portrait, though.
to someone clueless about FF numbering, which one is 6?
>>2847917
The one with Terra, Locke, Sabin etc as main characters, and with Kefka as the villain. It was called FFIII in the US when it came out. There's also such a thing as Google, by the way. Or the pictures in the thread might help you see if you recognize the game.
>>2847917
You mean roman numerals?
>>2847923
>It was called FFIII in the US when it came out
That's what I was looking for, thanks.
>There's also such a thing as Google
I went with Mobygames, but they didn't use VI/6 in the listing.
>The one with Terra, Locke, Sabin etc as main characters, and with Kefka as the villain
>Or the pictures in the thread might help you see if you recognize the game
The only FF I ever played was the first half of VII. In fact I asked because I think the pictures look not bad, and I might give it a try.
>>2847925
Mobygames doesn't list 6, and I recalled faintly that FFs numbering was all over the place, because japanese and US releases weren't in sync, but I had no idea on the details.
>>2847934
Go for it it's the best one
>>2846760
I really like the idea of the patches that limit it. Before I thought of rom hacks I was halfway through the game just doing it myself with my own imaginary conduct. I was only allowing the natural magic users to learn magic. Terra, Celes, Relm, Strago. game still wasn't even challenging, not even grinding.
>>2841039
She was nursed back to health by the seagulls.
Yes. It was that stupid.
anyone keeps psx verison only just to watch exclusive cgi?
>>2848176
To me as an outsider this CGI looks like it would mesh terribly with the sprite and 2D artwork from the other screens. Seems like a good example of the worst of early raytraced 3D FMV cutscenes. CGI for the sake of CGI and fuck consistency or art direction.
>>2839950

Should I restart ?

>>2848678
here's your reply
>>2839950
are there any optional super bosses in this game like in VII ?
>>2850617
Optional bosses, yes. Super, not really.
>>2850649
oh :(
>>2840323
Say what you will but I will not hear a bad word about VI's OST. It's one of the best in gaming, period.
does anyone else feel that random battles happen a BIT too much in 6?
>>2850742
They are frequent but it's better than a lack of random battles in a jRPG
>>2850742
>random battles happen a BIT too much in 6
No. See Tales of Phantasia. There have to be worse offenders out there, but I can't think of any off the ToP of my head.
>>2850809
Adventures of Hourai High is the worst offender I've ever had the displeasure to deal with and I played pretty much every translated SNES JRPG out there. FFVI didn't even stand out for me in the random encounter department for me.
>>2850809
BOF2's random encounter rate is insane, too. Especially in the final dungeon.
Still love the shit out of that game though.
Just beat it for the first time. Shadow's my favorite but it's lame he can't equip Ragnorok.
>>2850809
FF4 takes the cake here. Played through it recently and got 3 random encounters in 4 steps.
>>2839950
Maybe they'll remake this next.
>>2840501
are you kidding? when they go to visit Rachael, at Locke's home town, everyone discusses how sad it is, and leaves. Celes comes back to stare at her. I am not sure of her actual reason, but it's probably jealousy.
there were a lot of little scenes, like this. I am not sure what the resolution was. I haven't played the game in forever. I bought the IOS remake, a year ago, but that was mostly to just have it
>>2846760
yeah, but it wasn't always worth it. I mean, anything Shadow could throw would do way more damage than his magic. And since you can buy elemental swords for him, there isn't even that setback. Giving Gau magic is pointless so is Mog.
the whole point of the plot is that killing Espers can allow ordinary humans to learn magic. the game wants you to teach everybody magic, but it doesn't reward you evenly for every character you teach it to
How's the FF6 tier list friends? Include two different lists for exploit and non-exploit tier.
>>2851217
Can someone explain the invisible elevator?
>>2851493
you mean during the final battle?
FF heroes never fight the final boss on solid ground
When I played this as a kid back in the 90s, there was a rumor in my group of buddies that you could bring back general Leo somehow. I must've spent hours in that village where he's buried checking every single tile for some trigger to bring him back.
>>2851501
IIRC FFIV did, both endgame and GBA/PSP Zeromus.
>>2851496
she doesn't have amnesia at that point you sick fuck
>>2851491
Exploit God: Setzer, Cyan, Relm, Gogo
Exploit High: Celes, Terra, Gau
Exploit Low: Everyone else
Legit God: Gau, Mog
Legit High: Terra, Celes, Locke, Gogo
Legit Mid: Edgar, Sabin, Shadow, Setzer
Legit Low: Cyan, Relm, Strago, Umaro
Based on usefulness in the endgame; a character's viability mostly has to do with what equipment they can wear. The issue with Setzer is that even if you don't consider fixed dice + offering a glitch, there are other characters that do it better with a merit award. Edgar has great equipment options, but can't compete with the other knightsword users who all have overpowered unique equipment that can't be worn with a merit award. Shadow has a unique advantage in Interceptor and Throw is nice defense-ignoring damage, but toward the end of the game that stuff stops being quite so impressive compared to what other characters can do.
>>2851549
>god
>mog
you fucking joking son? some kind of meme?
>>2851551
Gau and Mog can both wear the Snow Scarf. In Mog's case, it allows him to reach a perfect 255 defense value and gives him great elemental coverage. Mog is a pretty awesome colosseum fighter.
>>2851559
Yeah I figured it was due to the snow scarfmufflerI just don't like the dance skill.
>>2851815
Vayne Solidor, Ultima, Emperor Mateus...
