Why is FF6 such a fan favorite?

Oh God, did you really just say Nani?

In fact, why even respond to my post? You didn't say anything.

Yes, I said nani. Kawaii desu ka?

And I said lots of things. In my post "useless" Cait Sith showed himself to be as useful as any of the 73 optional characters with no storyline that you pick up on your travels in FF6. Really, praising FF6 for not having any useless characters would be like me praising FF7 for its translation. No matter how much I love the game, I would never go as far as to say something like that, since the translation is obviously awful. Likewise, FF6 has more useless characters than any other game in the main series; praise any aspect of the game you like, but don't praise the lack of useless characters. My feelings should have been clear from the fact that I expressed confusion and posted a reaction image of an unimpressed Miu after quoting the bit about "no useless characters".

However, I can see why you were so upest by my response, since it was clear from the smilies that I was being incwedibly sewious.

Alright, now you're pissing me off even more. Stop being so "cute." It's irritating. Anywho, what you showed me doesn't make Cait Sith useful. The probability of getting that is so incredibly small that it's like claiming that Setzer doesn't suck (even then, he's still useful). Each of the characters in FF6 are unique and useful in their own ways, even if some aren't as good as others. Cait Sith is pathetically weak and actually almost ruins the main quest for the characters (secret doll working for Shinra anyone?). Even characters like Gogo and Umaro have their own little uses. This kind of strength is replicated in Final Fantasy 9, too. Each of the characters kicks some serious ass, and none of them are bad at all.

Need I remind you of Game Over?
