| NFGBlinkAC said: @Twestern The complete opposite of what you said is my opinion. FFVI is outdated while FFVII had the best everything. And yes, I did experience FFVI before FFVII and will have to say FFVII > FFVI IMO in every way possible. *FFVI Spoilers!* I hate how people say Kefka is the greatest villian every, and how he managed to destroy everything but the main cast, that seems way to cliche to me compared to sephiroth/jenova plot. |
While I do completely respect that you like VII or VI, I do have to say this:
*SPOILERS*
Kefka did defeat the party. he completely broke them. He changed the world. He ruled over the world with an iron first. He actually did win.
How many villains in the history of gaming managed to go from a lackey to a god in the timespan of the game? Not many (I don't want to say none because, well, I know I can't). Kefka is one of the very few villains that managed to do that. On top of that, he's just plain evil and bat shit insane.
As for the characters, as I said he did beat them and they all lost. The amazing part of the story is the character, how they change, and how they pick themselves up and put themselves back together.
The characters changing is why FFVI is such a good game. It's not because of the gameplay or even the cliche story (because most FF game stories are slightly cliche), it's the amazing character development.
I advise everyone that has played FFVI and does not know what a heroes journey is to read up on what exactly a heroes journey is. FFVI is a heroes journey and a very good one at that.
