War, murder, social injustice, betrayal, revenge, regicide, patricide, power struggles between church and state, and the skewed perspective of history were all themes. It was mature in every sense of the word. As for the numbered entries, Final Fantasy VI was by far the best designed and constructed. It didn't simply have one story, but several compelling stories and themes that came together, split apart to develop separately, then came together once more in the second half. It was really a brilliantly told tale of many converging paths. It also had some of the best character development in video-game history. Why do some people have mixed feelings about Final Fantasy VII? Personally, I think, even though I liked the game a lot, that it marked the beginning of the 'style over substance' era of Final Fantasy. Cut-scenes, an emphasis on graphics, giant swords, and "cool" looking main characters started here. Also, it seems to have started the love affair the Japanese have with stories that make little sense and are littered with plot-holes and a willful disregard for logic. I will always think of it as a step down from the true depth of FF VI. |
Tactics was awesome the story was really well told for the most part but it does get a little convaluted in the end
