Forums - Gaming - Final Fantasy VI has made me do something I haven't done in a long time

A while back I picked up the combo pack, Final Fantasy Anthologies (V and VI) and Chronicles (Chrono Trigger and IV) for the PSX. I started a thread asking about why the load times in Chrono Trigger were so horrendus. To put simply I was told they made the game damn near unplayable and I should look to other versions to experince these classics.

And so I began my search for a suitable replacement for VI but alas I could not find one. So last night I decided to man up and give FFVI (PSX) a try...That game made me do something I haven't done in a long time with a video game....And that was play until the sun came up. Yes there were load times that seemed a bit excessive. But in all honesty, this game has me hooked. The charm and everything I loved about a Final Fantasy is there. The characters are funny and while I think there may be a translation issue here or there. The humor is still intact and understandable, the beginning of this adventure seem to allude that I have an even more amazing and enthralling experience ahead of me . To put it simply it's amazing and I can't wait to boot it up again.


On a sidenote: Locke is awesome!

Brilliant game. I'm glad you're enjoying it.



FFVI is fantastic, glad you're enjoying it. Locke IS awesome!



Out of curiosity, which machine are you playing it on? I tried FF6 last night, too, and the loading times didn't seem that bad to me, except for loading the menu. Maybe I just don't notice it that much?

Anyway, after seeing Locke's backstory with Rachel, it seems to me that FF13's characters are not as deep and interesting. And Sabin has Street Fighter-style attacks! How awesome is that?
