keeping in mind how old they are these 3 games have to considered as true art, especially in terms of storytelling and game-depth. the graphics look ugly now and the sound seems terrible, but, as mentioned above, the great opening scene in VI should appeal to any gamer.

perhaps i'm just too old :)

I'm playing VI now, I'm 6 hours in and I've lost interest in it, haven't touched it for a few months. If that opening scene was great, then maybe I'm not suited for this game.

Like most classic final fantasies, you only really get in after at least 1/3rd into the game (some 20 hours in). When I played Final Fantasy VIII, I was discouraged 3 times with large breaks in between where I said to myself I wouldn't play it before I actually got to the point where I didn't want to stop. (disk 2)

In FFVI, there is a similar point where you just don't want to stop, but I don't know if you've reached it yet. (I wouldn't think so)

I think that moment, for me at least, was around when I heard this music for the first time:

Yeah, I just edited my original post to put that in. That's happened to me so many times, I've hated the start of a game, grew to love it, and when I replayed the start it still seemed great. It happened with Skyrim, the first day I said I regretted my purchase, by the end of the week I had clocked in around 50 hours.
