This added more spice to the fights, something Final Fantasy 7 slipped just a little bit on. This one is a no-brainer. CDs allowed for massive storage many times that of a cartridge, allowing Square to pack superior visuals and animations into the game. Final Fantasy 6 was no slouch either, but its traditional super-deformed jRPG visuals were already long in the tooth by that point.
Final Fantasy 7 broke the visual mold, and it set a precedent for every title that has followed since. Final Fantasy 6 managed to pack in a few more memorable moments that truly stood out in comparison to part 7. Scattered throughout the game are iconic scenes that every FF6 gamer will remember for life.
While the death of Aerith in Final Fantasy 7 remains one of the big gaming shockers of all time, it can't compete against the volume of moments in its predecessor. These include the amazing opera scene, the battle against the Atma Weapon, the death of Cid, and of course, the Ghost Train.
Sephiroth is widely considered to be one of the most iconic video game protagonists ever designed, and he puts Final Fantasy 6's Kefka to shame. While both are notoriously memorable in their own right, they can't be perched on the same class level. Sephiroth was the bad guy's bad guy. He was cold, ruthless, calculating and psychotic all rolled into one. His instability was matched only by his self-awareness and of those around him.
I ended up creating this scene from pure imagination. It was extremely emotional to view the concert in a real theater for the first time in 17 years. Final Fantasy VI deals with some mature themes — like suicide and loss — in a time when many of its peers were sticking to safer material. Did you have any reservations about including these topics during development? I believe we had a strong desire to appeal to the public with sensational, mature themes in hindsight, it was done in the rashness of youth.
On the contrary, with video games having a greater social influence, we may have been a bit more hesitant to do so in this day and age. For more of our coverage on Final Fantasy VI, watch our episode of Replay featuring the game, or our Spoiled discussion.

Press ESC to cancel. Admission Essay. Ben Davis February 5, Is FF6 advance good? How many hours is Final Fantasy 6? But it was Final Fantasy VI that pioneered cinematic storytelling. One early scene as you escape Figaro Castle is straight out of a heist movie, with clever camera tricks and cinematic flourishes.
A later sequence, when Sabin teams up with Shadow and Cyan to escape Doma Castle, could be spun out into a buddy comedy film. Pay attention to the way things are presented. Best obligatory sacrifice: General Leo, the noble lieutenant of Emperor Gestahl who tries to challenge Kefka, then gets promptly dunked on. It felt like there might be a burgeoning Thing between Leo and Terra before he dies, too, which makes this particularly sad.
Best character: There is no way to answer this question. Where the hell did Banon go? Seriously, where does he go in the World of Ruin? Does anybody know? Series tradition: Wedge and Biggs, who made their first appearance in Final Fantasy VI and would go on to appear in every subsequent Final Fantasy game.
One easy reason: nostalgia. The cartridge capacity was so much smaller, of course, and therefore the challenges were that much greater. But nowadays you can do almost anything in a game. There is a certain freedom to be found in working within strict boundaries, one clearly evident in Final Fantasy VI. Best boss: Ultros, whose charm is best summed up by this video:. Ante up! What is it with the clocks?
Is this an inside joke? Does the game still hold up? Dear lord, yes. Go play it right away. Just stay away from the PC and iOS versions, which look horrible. This game is responsible for my entire career. The A. By Jason Schreier.
