The Complete Story of Final Fantasy VI
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2022
- Welcome to the complete story of Final Fantasy VI, the game many believe to be the gold standard for all Final Fantasy games, despite its age and graphical simplicity. As a tale of diverse heroes and a world on the brink of ruin, the game's story is anything but simple, weaving an intricate tapestry that explores loss in a myriad of forms, and perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity - oh and also there's an opera. But anyway, I'm Pétur from Birds of Play, and in this video I hope you'll join me as we revisit the complete story of the one and only Final Fantasy VI. A game for the history books, and now also a game for the story books. It's a long way from here to the end of the world, but I hope you'll be with us, every step of the way.
This video was made in part by leveraging the great work already done over at the Final Fantasy fandom wiki: finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/...

@@lastknightofhonor8998 I wish!
Looks incredible!
Can I have one to make into a skirt
Great recap. Only minor complaint I have is no mention of Sabin suplexing the Phantom Train. I consider that canon.
Lol yeeee
Mine is that Cid lives 'cause yummy fish ^_^
Great video all around, can feel the effort put into cutting this together.
it is canon indeed
I believe this is one of the greatest games ever made.
I imagine you're not alone in that sentiment. Such a great game.
It is one of the best … up there with chrono trigger imo
Fosho
@@awest1925 I actually like ff6 better than chrono trigger, chrono trigger was too easy even unlocking magus isnt that hard its just unexpected on the first playthrough but after playing it once you get the hint that you can recruit magus somehow
Everything about this game is perfect. The story, the characters, the battle system and last but not least the music. So many playthroughs and so many hours of my life well spent.
This game will forever be my favorite. My dad played it when he was a kid, and when he and my mom bought an SNES for the family, he recommended that I play this game. I started playing the game with my dad's help and I loved it, but I got stuck in the world of ruin, so I stopped playing. Years later, I picked the game up again, and figured out what to do next with ease, even without my dad's help, as he had moved out. Finally, I beat the game, which I would say is one of my greatest achievements. Even after beating it, I continued to look for every little secret in the game, and even made challenges to make the game even more fun, but also for excuses to play the game over and over again.
Final Fantasy VI is such a good game, and I wish I knew more people who like this game.
I'm gonna be honest with you.. I was fully expecting some dark humor at the end of your comment when I clicked "Read more". Was 100% expecting the last sentence to read "Sadly no matter how many times I beat the game, Dad never came home." lol
@@keithbrewer2482 HAHAHHAHAHA
I remember renting this and chrono trigger from my local video store with a tanning salon built in. Awesome times indeed. Everything was so new and interesting.
The moogles were a significant part of the marketing for this game, and they have a notable role in the story. Leaving Mog out was a mistake. I can see leaving out Gogo and Umaro as they weren’t as crucial to the story, but in my mind any recruitable character should have been included. Also I think mentioning having to wait for Shadow on the floating continent is something that should have been included.
My first true love. Played it at a cousins up north when I was a kid, we stayed up all night and day lol
Came back home and saved up / paid like 103$CDN and some change (remember running to the bank with my little paper bank book and everything lol)
went to the local game store and picked it up
Loved, love this title... *memories*
This deserves waaaay way more views, excellent to-the-point narration of one of the greatest games of all time!
Agreed, even a yr on. Comment for some algo god love lol
I've never seen a more accurate telling of this story. Damn. You did such a great job!
And choice of video edits, over a 30 min span? Really, REALLY well done!
The greatest Final Fantasy game ever
Jesus Christ i forgot how compelling this game's story is.
Good stuff, mate
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and leaving us such a nice comment!
THE BEST FF STORY EVER!!!
The BEST Final Fantasy game EVER!!
Pour moi aussi ^^
I'm so glad you're doing these! And with such attention to detail!
I love anything and everything FFVI, it's my favorite game ever. Have a sub
Excellent content!! These videos are well produced. Great channel guys! Thanks for the content.
Just noticed the videos on your channel! This is the game that started everything for me. I think I was 11 or 12 yrs old. Was this and Ogre Battle that introduced RPG's to my life. Actraiser 2 also. Was limited to to the video store's selection in '95-'96....ah, the good ol' days!
15 here , and it was most certainly the best times of my life.
All my friends hAd to have my copy of this . . and we all had to beat it . . and. .
( Romans 10 : 9 )
I just found this channel my god i LOVE IT! it´s like hear an audiobook of great stories! absolute great narration
1yr on and same
Wasn't expecting another upload so soon! after IX this was my favourite FF so really happy to see you both cover it
It was the first time I played it and I liked it a lot more than I thought I would, thanks for watching! - Pétur
Uno-reverso for the order and ye, that's me ^_^
Great vid. Bought back so many memories of playing it on gba for first time in 07
You put so much effort and love for detail in your videos. I am a very big fan and I wish you a lot of success keep it up!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! - Pétur 🐦
Even though I played the game so many times over the years, this video was a great watch! I really appreciate your effort in matching the characters' theme songs while they're part of the discussion.
Bro, damn, good call out for the audio edits. Was lovin' the music and didn't catch they were lining up with relevant characters on screen XD
One of the greatest game ever made. I pray that they will not remaster it, this masterpiece deserves to stay untouched.
I absolutely loved this! I will highly recommend this to people (like my wife, who never played) just because it's easy to follow, simple, and appealing. 10/10
Your videos are always amazing. I appreciate the effort you put in.
We definitely appreciate the appreciation. Makes the effort worth it!
My favorite rpg story of all time.
Hope we managed to do it some justice! Even though there's no replacing the game.
One of the best FFs and games of all time. 9 is my personal favorite, but I feel like if I played 6 before I played 9, 6 would probably be my favorite.
I can see you are a person of impeccable taste - Pétur
Same exact thoughts!
I had played 9 before 6, but 6 is my fave, followed by 9. Actually at first 6 was just so so for me, dropped it half way though. Then tried it again after a few years and realized how great it is, that it became my favorite game of all time.
This one was a paradigm shift toward awesomeness in the series on a whole new level
I loved the revelation of Shadow's indentity and -secret daughter- in the fallen world. That honstly brought my teenage self to tears. 😢
Such a good history, I played this game on SNES about 22 years ago, I was absorbed by the plot not knowing how much it resembles our actual life context
They need to remake this game with current technology it would be amazing and it’s still my favorite Final Fantasy til this day!
Nope dont touch it perfect the way it is
We need a voice acting update for the pixel remaster in a future update.
This is amazing!!!
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching!
I've never played 3-6, nor 13-15. I heard 6 was awesome. 8 and 10 are my favorite.
Oh my God, it’s my first time to Dude. Thanks a lot
Thanks for watching! 🎉
Just found your channel with no regrets Really solid content! So good
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for taking the time to let us know you're with us! We'll try our best to become even more solid in the future! - Nökkvi
This will always be Final Fantasy IV to me
Favorite game of all time Easily
Amazing video and narration. I missed not seeing you saved Shadow and how is later revealed he's Relms dad. Also MOG and Umaro on Narshe who joins the party as well as Gogo later on inside the belly of the beast
Obligatory comment: you can actually save Cid if you only feed him the fast fish.
Yeah, that's definitely worth noting. We just think how Celes responds to the tragedy of his demise is such a powerful scene that it would have been a shame to leave it out. - Nökkvi
What's missing is how astonishing it was. There are modern gamers who play it all the time. But when we first played it the graphics and presentation made our jaws drop. Now a person goes from the newest system and games to this little 16 bit game and just cannot find it as impressive as we once did.
I miss these graphics these snes are just better in million ways
This is a great game and the narrator has a great voice!
Great work
Appreciate it!
This is the greatest FF game out there.
The opera scene is magnificent the shining success of the pixel era
The soundtrack is divine
You're divine!
Great video I just have one correction to make, CID doesn’t have to die, if you feed him the correct fish fast enough he survives resulting in no Celes suicide attempt
True, we just like to let him for for the drama of it all!
Great narration
Glad you like it. Always working on our voice over skills!
Correction - Cid doesn't have to die. If you feed him only good fish he'll pull through.
Don't worry, we know.
I never beat kefka multiple of reasons but yeah I didn’t miss anything by not finishing the game I literally did and found everything possible. Been wanting to play this game again. It’s shorter than one would think when you know what to do it’s like 20-25 hours assuming you did do some grinding and some extras
This voiceover reminds me of the voice from the narrator in ffxii and its great
I hope Ondore would be proud 😇
This is my favorite youtube channel
🥹
Correction! The esper does not kill Vicks and Wedge. They were sent to a different dimension. This has been confirmed by the Chrono Trigger creators.
Not sure how canon that should be considered in regard to FF6, although it is fun that they are included in Chrono Trigger.
@@BirdsOfPlay theyre almost in every game just like Cid
Needless to say my favorite of alllllllll time...
I love your videos! However, the music was a touch too loud on this one. Couldn't hear you as well. Keep up the great work!
It's a constant struggle! The music is such an integral part of the game so we want to showcase it so we're trying to find a nice balance. Still a work in progress! Thanks for watching!
@@BirdsOfPlay A good "rule of thumb" is to deal with the sound of the game as if it was a conventional background music, used in a documentary.
My opinion on Final Fantasy 6.......The story, it's characters, the world and the music make the visuals the only reason this wasn't as popular as 7. I really do believe that.
7's my favourite FF btw, but if 6 had come out on ps1 and had looked like 7, I really do think it would've had the impact 7 had on me. Not only that, it was before 7......so it may well have ended up being the "classic" rather than 7.
The same can't be said for 5 or below, though. 6 was the first offering in the franchise to take an rpg in the direction it did. Before 6 it was all medieval, "dungeons and dragons" types of worlds and plots with relatively tedious characters. 4 had interesting characters, but they didn't get enough time to develop properly and even if they had, the world was still the same as 1, 2, 3 and 5.
6 took the whole franchise into a world of trains, cars, factories and robotics. It had an incredibly intriguing antagonist that looked and acted nothing like the previous antagonists (which again were all very similar.) It implemented culturally and politically relatabe themes and there was actually significant weight to things the characters said and did. All these things combined made 6 a world that felt so much more real and lived in. 7 merely continued that idea on a platform that allowed that vibe to shine really brightly for the first time.
I'd go as far as saying if 6 had come out on ps1 and looked like 7, people may well have considered 7 too similar, rendering it somewhat unoriginal.
It's literally just the format 6 is presented in that gives it that unavoidably different feel. That's it. Other than that it'd be on par with 7 imo.
If you reverse it and imagine 7 came out on the SNES and looked like 6.........I don't think 7 would be better necessarily and again, it would've been considered very similar.
I played FF VI after playing Chrono Trigger, FF VI just felt boring in comparison. Really struggled to complete it.
@@deen-al-afriqi I never played it. I really should...
Is there a list of the mods you're using for the pictures next to the text boxes and the different fonts?
Just go to the Final Fantasy VI page on Nexus Mods and pick your poison 💀
The era where many games were made with heart, by people who enjoy gaming and not by just heartless corporations who are in it for the money.
@29:42 What was that!? 🤣
The song of my people.
Imagine the literal Apocalypse being held back by the feng shui of three statues. Major design flaw.
I know this comment is less than five minutes old, but I still think it's underrated.
Such a good game
"A chatty octopus with hostile intentions...".😂😂😂
Cool ass video, I love the voice narrator
Appreciate the love! Thanks for watching (and listening).
This is one of the best final fantasies except for the ending. I wanted to see what would happen with each individual character. Perhaps that is a limitation of the SNES/Super Famicom.
Also, I hope they remaster FF6 like FF7, please!
They did remaster it but not like ff7 remake, the remake lfor ff7 is some badass stuff the original one was great but the remake is something else
Judging by pronunciation of a few things, I'm guessing you're German or Austrian, but your English pronunciation is great, nicely done story recap of my favorite final fantasy
🇮🇸
@@BirdsOfPlay seriously? The way you said Narshe and Gestahl sounded like you were a German speaking native pronunciation English words with near perfect pronunciation with a very slight German accent
the ff game that i love most, still waiting for its actual remake
Ah, but Biggs and Wedge weren't killed. They were transported over to Chrono Trigger :)
The original version was released on the SFC/SNES in 1994.
This one was already way ahead for the RPG genre before FF7.
So, what was the war of the magi? Who fought who? How were espers involved? Weird that he deliberately failed so that he could on purpose pursue the "suicide" story. What about umaro, gogo, and MOG!? Siegfried? The cyan's hugely important to the character dream? So much left out. Gaining many optional characters made his head cannon and others just didn't. Return to Figaro and Odin's Castle.... So, so much. I just can't not notice that word COMPLETE in the title of this video.
Thanks for watching so intently!
Correction - (Man I need you to do your research.)
If you wait on the floating island to the last 5 seconds Shadow will make it to you and won't die on that scene. You can find him in the coliseum.
Don't worry, we know.
I called him Blackie
Wheres the video for V? Does it not exist or something? It went from IV to IV in the playlist...
We've finished the script and now we're just finished recording the footage for it. Hopefully you won't have to wait to long!
@BirdsOfPlay Fantatic, I'm really loving these videos! I'm playing through the pixel remasters myself now.
Glad you like them! We've also had a lot of fun with the Pixel remasters!
Are you using any mods in the video?
Sure did! The biggest change is the SNES font, then I added the character portraits when the characters are speaking, I also think I changed the background colour of the speech bubbles. Just googled FFVI mods and chose some I liked the look of :) - Pétur
Nice TV voice man
Thanks so much! I love TV!
Sounds like Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramirez is reading this.
If they remade this game in a action RPG format, it would be gold
Very curious whether we will see some future Final Fantasy remakes. I'm sure many would be voting for VI to get the treatment.
@@BirdsOfPlayI’m sure it’s been confirmed there will be remakes. I think IX and X? I’m not sure but I’ve heard there’s talks
9:19 where's the suplex?!
That really should have been included, even though its not a plot point. For the memes!
Edgar reminds me of George Washington for some reason lol.
I see it! 🙈
What UI mod is this?
FYI you can save Cid, so long as you feed him the fast fish.
Great voice
Great comment!
You can actually save Cid. Just don't feed him the rotten fishes.
This is true.
My first FF experience
What was your most recent FF experience?
@@BirdsOfPlay
Recently ff7 remake
Very nice!
If they remake it, I️ hope it’s not Nomura. He’d change the story. And it’s perfect.
A proper FF remake would be FF with the Octopath Traveler engine.
Would definitely have been interesting to see! - Nökkvi
So this game is the same seen for PC?
This playthrough was recorded on PC based on the Pixel Remaster version.
@@BirdsOfPlay SO it's available on steam correct? Sorry if I didn't make that clear, great video.
Yeah it's available on Steam!
Come on, you dont have Shadow in your group after the Planet is destroyed, and you dont mention that Shadow is Relm's father
Cid doesn't die if you bring him fresh fish to eat.
True! We just like to let him die for dramatic effect! Don't be like us. Save Cid.
Imagine story this complex on PS5 graphics and system. Also, teain suplex in 4k goes brrr.
My almost 3 year old grandson is named after Figaro's king.
Square should remake this game
How the hell did kefka get promoted looking like that? Give me a break.
Maybe a face tattoo would have crossed the line. If so, it would be the first time a face tattoo saves the world.
Top three r p g's in my opinion of all time chrono trigger final fantasy four final fantasy six
Imagine remaking this game like how they did with FF7.
Biggs and Wegde? oh man ;p
I can only see a corvid Paimon in my head narrating this vid. Also, I thought given many of the Italian names, Kefka's last name was pronounced "pah-yaht-zo"?
It's disturbing how a fellow ginny could be such an evil man
Mog? Umaro?? Gogo???
This game was so great. Yet they have not remade it. Oy...
I’ve been chasing this FF6 high since I was 12 years old. Chrono Trigger and FF7 almost got there for me but only a good buzz and not quite the same high.
What about saving shadow 😭
OMFG... the story doesn't go straight to the point... at all !
I'm so glad you managed to sum it up in 30 minutes... I wouldn't have liked spending hundreds of hours for this.
