I'd buy it. If only for the twist where you actually lose... big time before you win, and with all the drama that was in it. Hard to say with games like that though since they do follow your pretty standard mold aside from that. Reminds me of another square game that never got localized, that seems to follow the script of an RPG perfectly, but then you the hero... don't get the girl. In fact someone else does... after you spend like... years preparing to get her back and go through all sorts of trouble to do so. It's great cause it leads you to think the main characters are going to hook up, leading up to the rescue, then it doesn't happen and your in a weird place motivation wise, cause the other side is definitly still evil but your pissed off. I mean, i've played games like Front Mission 3. Where the geo-political goings on actually made sense in real world settings and not how most geo-political games don't because they just wouldn't work how they do in the game. Which I guess would count. |
Yeah, I would never call the story of FFVI one of the best stories ever since it's more or less generic but when the writing makes you feel for every character in the game the way it does it definitaly deserves mention.
