[Classic] This thread contains my reactions to Final Fantasy VI

Final Fantasy III for the SNES was released probably back in 1996 or so, since the N64 made its debut in September 1997.
My best friend had that game, while I bought Chrono Trigger. My god, we swapped each others games for about 3-4 months.
That was the beginning of my FF experience. It was so amazing being drawn into the storyline with a good beginning.

While everyone was shocked at the death of a character in FFVII, this wasn't the first time a FF playable character actually died.

Spoiler:

When Shadow holds back to fight Kefka while you make your escape from the floating sky ground, Shadow dies if you leave pre-maturely. When you get to Setzer's airship, you have to wait until theres about 5 seconds left, or else you leave without him and he dies atop the floating continent.

The best thing about FF6 to me is the differences in weapons/armor each character holds. Cyan's Swordtech, Locke's steal/mug, Sabin's Blitz, Edgar's Tools, Shadow's throws, Celes's Runeblades, Setzer's card tricks, even Umaro's own independent attacking system, was just great to utilize in the game.

Character development, from their past histories to present, was astonishing. I'm glad I got to try this game out before getting rid of my SNES, only to pick up for Anthology to experience it again.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
