I was there when FFVI (SNES FFIII) first released in 1994. It felt like forever waiting for the next installment after playing FFIV (FFII). I can remember when it first came out, in my area specifically, it was hard to find as it was selling out quickly at every store that was able to get copies in stock. It took me a bit to finally get a copy, and back then it wasn't cheap either. A friend of mine got his copy before I was able to get mine, so I got to see a good chunk of the game before playing myself, but I eventually got my copy shortly after, and the rest is history. FFVI is definitely my most memorable moment on the SNES, and not just because of the game, but because of the build-up of waiting for its release, and hunting down a copy until I got it, and when I did, the excitement. I played the game endlessly, and even had the FFVI Nintendo Power Strategy Guide. My favorite characters are Terra (she is the main character), Celes, Edgar, Sabin & Cyan.
Beat like 4+ times when it came out. Get the Offering and Genji Glove. You can do 70k+ damage per attack in the end game. Also do xp building fighting hoover (and cactrot) when you have the first 4 characters. The ones find later will have the xp average of your core. 4. 😊
I played it on GBA SP last year. Imo it was better than ff8 or 10 but worse than 9 and 7. I didn't quite feel depth of characters in 6. Especially Kafka, cuz i heard like he's very good antagonist. I think he had very cool potential but i dont feel like he or any character been properly executed storytelling wise. i love how Ardyn in FF15 in his DLC been realized.
It was my favorite it was first final fantasy, first rpg, and first super Nintendo game all in one. Pivotal to my childhood. Spoiled me so when I went back and played 4 labeled as 2 it seemed so far behind this
i've tried to play this game like 5 times in the past 30 years. art: great music: great characters were all "i'm a good guy hero :)" until way later in the game kefka was like "hahaha my deal is that i am an EVIL villain" combat was pretty boring, almost always using the same move. the customization was the most basic out of the final fantasies i played. there weren't any good mini games or puzzles to break up the combat. just dialogue then mediocre turn based combat. exploring the open world seemed like a chore and i would often explore a long path that was a dead end, then congratulations... you get to walk all the way back and have fun with the random encounters. i tried so hard to understand why a lot of people think this is the best FF and i just can't.
This was a different era and its impossible to know what it felt like back then if youre playing for the first time now. Amazing story but the battles are definitely dated now
@@mathieudoucet1446 I’ve played it but never beaten it. I feel like playing it on iOS or Steam isnt doing the game justice, might have to get the DS version or just buy a Super Nintendo!
@@MacklinGaming Huh? The Steam version is the DS version only in larger resolution beautiful 2D pixel art. If you the SNES version you will not get the added content which is necessary to know about as it ties in to the sequel which is Chrono Cross.
Final Fantasy 6 is the best in the entire mainline. You been spoiled that's what I see and you say by your admission it's by the voice acting. In the other games you get to experience everything that had come before it but nothing on the scale of FF6. The entire world is literally ruined, millions dead and you didn't get impacted most likely because it's 2D pixels. Just imagine the scene in FF10 where that village gets destroyed by Sin and multiply that to a million in FF6 when that psycho did what he did and continued to keep doing it ruling the world for a number of years. In FF7 there's nothing that shattering until the thread of the comet. In FF16 lol this game ain't even worth talking about in a discussion of the best Final Fantasy. Each character has their own personal thing that can be expanded on if given the FF7 trilogy treatment but in 2D form there's enough there. I barely ever used Gau. He's only useful in the Fanatic Tower if I am getting owned there though with my main team. Speed runners I think use Gau. The GOAT is Edgar with his tools when it comes to physical damage. And yeah Cyan is to me one of the weakest only because of how Squaresoft implemented his Bushido skill. Square Enix tried fixing this but I think they should of just got rid of the whole wait time bs and have Cyan have weaker defense overall for balance sake and it would decrease the more he uses bushido skill per fight. I mean they got rid of forcing noobs having to input street fighter moves for his Blitz attacks into what pixel remaster had which is really good on them. Some of the things in this game was also used in Chrono Trigger such as the options of doing side quests or going to the end boss already and item upgrade after a period of time. If you didn't get the items in Narshe, South Figaro cave and the city of South Figaro those items would of upgraded into more powerful ones in the second Act. Also notice the lack of running in your video I dunno if you knew you can run by pressing one of the buttons of set it up to switch them vice-versa in the config menu or something.

I have that tapestry!
Best game ever, i was 17 when it came out. Some day ill play it feom start to finish again
I was 22 in 1994 and loved ff6. Now I think i prefer ff5 because of the versatile job system.

@@Opocrious I have the Genji Glove, it says Defense +5. Do I need the Offering to get 70k damage? I can’t imagine it would be from the Genji Glove

I didnt use Gau much. But i never like the blue mage member of the party that copies enemies attacks, thats just my preference. I like Sabin and Edgar
Gau is one of the best characters in the game, but getting all his skills is so annoying that I didn't bother using him either.

@scabu3 i played it in the 90s... i also enjoy ff5 and 4 more and i played those after 6
That is wack. Haha
Hahahaha dumbest take ever
@QuiteTheGentleman how many "mini games" to break the combat did you enjoy in ff5 and 4? Lol
Lets put it THIS way ALL BUT the FF2 game of these 6 is playable FF2 I hate everything about its stat up leveling system.
ive heard ff2 is the worst
Ff2 is awesome
Wait till you play chrono trigger.
