Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why is FF6 such a fan favorite?

No, you won't be. It's not about being serious; rather, it's about not overloading with smiles and Japanese words in English (which you didn't do with this post and I'm glad). But frankly, I no longer care. 

So much of Final Fantasy 7 is limit breaks, though. And while Cait Sith's limit break is potentially really powerful, the vast majority (and I mean the vast majority) of the time, it's pretty bad when compared to those of Cloud and Barret. Look, I'm not a huge Cait Sith hater. I had him in my party for a good while (up until I fought Jenova Death, or something). I tried to like him, but he's just not that great. His physical stats are worse than just about everyone (his megaphone attacks are pitiful), his limit breaks are lame, and his magic stats are terrible (his summons do significantly less damage than with other characters). Besides that one-in-a-million limit break you demonstrated, there's absolutely no use for him. Even Yuffie is better. Besides, I was talking about battle use from the beginning. I know that the likes of Gogo have no storyline significance, but I was arguing usefulness in battle.

Ahem. In the two posts you were talking about I used four smilies and four Japanese words. That's very different from my understanding of the word "overload".

Anyway, Cait Sith's stats are pretty average all round. His megaphone does an average amount of damage and summons do an average amount of damage as well. Actually, he's slightly stronger than average, magic-wise; only Cloud and Aeris have naturally higher magic stats. It's all here.

BTW, you'll find that people who do the various "challenges" for FF7 (i.e. no matera, initial equipment, low level etc.) use him quite a lot...

BTW2,

Cait Sith is pathetically weak and actually almost ruins the main quest for the characters (secret doll working for Shinra anyone?).

That's what I mean by talking about his role in the storyline.



Around the Network

I said the reasons why many times before,for resume:It got it all,everything the good that we can ask for a perfect game,enuff say.The only game that could top it is Crhono Trigger.

^^ why would you not play any other FF when you liked 6 that much?

OT: because people tend to support the underdog...?

What's that have got to do with FF6, though? It's not an underdog. Or are you talking about some epic battle between it and FF7?

FF6 has been my favorite FF ever since I finished it, back in 94. It just so happens that a lot of people agree with me. I'm sure most people that rally for FF6 are in a similar position, if not, they'd comment on the one they actually liked, whether that's 4, 8-12, or whatever.

This isn't an "FF6 vs FF7" poll, it's a thread asking why people love FF6 so much!

Please dont take my bait again... Was having a bad day.

Everytime a thread like this starts (certainly with a title like that) it will end up in people arguing whether 7 or 6 or ... was the best... If you're talking about fan (fanatic) favorites, thats what you get.

And im not talking about particular persons here.

6 definitely has great music, some great characters and a nasty villain for sure!



Because it's the best Final Fantasy ever?

- Best characters.
- Best stoyline.
- Best villians.
- Best song and musics.
- Best battle system (with amazing Espers level up).

Did I forget any thing???
