I should clarify my comment on the FFVI gameplay--

It's bad because it's broken.

Each character has their special abilities that are totally unbalanced.  You have people like Edgar that destroys everything and then you have a pretty useless Celes.

I stopped here again.

Celes has Runic... one of the best abilities (the best one is Morph)... all magical bosses and enemies became easy with it... and the Edgar ability (Tool) is so... hummm... weak.

Just because you don't know how to use the FFVI gameplay... means that it is broken.

My best group: Terra (leader), Locke, Sabin and Celes.

Edit - FFVI has just one character overpower... Terra after receive the Morph (and used a lot to increasing the morph time).


Runic did what it was supposed to do if that's what you meant but it was never actually useful.  If I remember correctly, runic absorbs your spells too which means nobody can cast spells that round.  It's useful if she needs a quick MP boost for whatever reason but beyond that, it's not that good.

I could either waste a round nost cating spells in order to stop an attack that won't hurt me that much to begin with or just kill the enemy.

As for the Edgar, he's incredibly overpowered early game, still overpowered mid game, and the chain saw murders things up until close to the end.  Also, agreed, morph is good but I would probably say Sabin or Edgar are still the two most overpowered.  Edgar has a good magic score and his tools while Sabin just destroys everything with his blitzes.

@Khuutra-- and I don't think Celes is useless, she's always in my final party.  I just think Runic is useless.

-edit-

And still, that's all irrelevant the original point.  Going back to those old games poses a significant danger of destroying that nostalgia.  FFVI has held up because the gameplay wasn't what made, but the beautiful sprite work, story, music, and characters what kept it good.  FFVII just looks so bad it doesn't have that luxury even if all the other stuff is good.
