| VanceIX said: FINAL FREAKIN FANTASY VI. OK, I get that it's a lot better than VII, but I still don't see how it is the best. There are waaay too many characters, so many that the second half was a confusing mess, and the lack of a solid main character made things a little bland for me. |
FF4 or FF2 SNES is their best imho. FF6 while for its time and platform SNES was fair. See I had played FF2 SNES a few months after launch and that was a "HUGE" step up from FF1 NES that it really did blow me away sound/graphics/story. FF7 was built off the hype from 6 and 6 was built off of the hype from FF2/4SNES for the US residents. Somehow this "fact" gets forgotten...
Now my problem was I had played and finsihed Lunar the Silver Star for the Sega CD. That game was like FF2 SNES in that it had story/graphics but when you get to the games redbook audio sound. As cheesy as it sounds it had an opening theme song with japanese anime, which was awesome at the time. I'd never seen anything like it. Then there were anime cutsenes with real actors and actresses, that was cool too. I bought it day 1 from Babbages but they were sold out then ran over to a toys r us and they had just a few left. Probably took me a few weeks to finish. So I then played through it again. Then I sat and read about how FF6 was gonna be mind blowing or sumthin, then I read in Nintendo Power they had like a 10-15 page exclusive on all the characters and what not. So I'm thinking wow this sounds epic they even have a colesium another tore up world later in the game 8 dragons side quest, yeah this is ambitious I thought...then I heard about an Opera scene and how it was the most amazing part of the game. OK I thought let me see this. Now Like I said before I had Lunar the Silver star on Sega CD with redbook audio. I get to the Opera scene with Celes, and I had prepared my ears for 6 months to be blown away...and what I got was blarrr blerrrr bluuuuurrrrr blahhhhh beerrrrrrr booooooeeeeerrrrr.
Ah needless to say I wasn't impressed. The hype ruined it for me. Same with 7. 8. 9....forget them.
