      Probably the many "mini climaxes" in the World of Balance once most of the team is together. The Empire's ruse is such a cool part of the game - nothing like walking around talking to Gestahl's soldiers as if nothing bad was going to happen.... Plus the entire Opera sequence and music there along with the music/mystery of Zozo.
      I also loved the long ending after beating the game, but it made me think there might be a "return to Balance" section of the game with a "nice" world again. Just a tease though haha.

I agree with you though, I played video games before this but this is the game that not only got me into JRPG's but really into gaming but mainly JRPG's. lol It still holds it's spot in my top 3 JRPG's in of all time getting 2nd, the first being Chrono Trigger the third at the time was The 7th Saga but now it holds the third with Final Fantasy VII. Also depending on well the day I guess lol my 1st and 2nd spot trades places. Nowadays The Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt is one of my favorite games of all time, I guess my favorite non JRPG.

    Now, over a quarter of a century later, I still hold this title in that same high regard. It is the epitome of all things a JRPG should be; in many ways, it still hasn't been eclipsed.

      Who knows. Maybe after remaking the popular one thanks to its timing they'll remake the best one. I don't think they can give it the FF7 treatment though. FF7 was a rather simple, if messy, game, but FF6 had to rely on much more than graphics and flashy moves to reach its status and would make for a very complex remake. Nostalgia isnt as strong with it either. FF7 holds its place for being a lot of ppl's first RPG.

    Another great video, as always. Without opening the door to which SNES Final Fantasy was better (IV vs VI), this video does call out my biggest complaint of VI: the World of Ruin has virtually no story, it’s simply you grabbing your crew and beating Kefkfa. There’s little character progression or development compared to the first act and most of the secondary characters (i.e. Bannon) are gone, never mentioned and we just presume are dead.
    It’s interesting that 40 minutes of the video was dedicated to the World of Balance, and the delta to the World of Ruin which shows that even when you’re explaining the entire plot, there isn’t much of a story to tell.
    I did appreciate you showing Sabin giving the suplex to the Phantom train and while never stated Relm is Shadow/Clyde ‘s daughter, the fact they both can use the Memento Ring is all the proof I need.

    • @Xygor

      I’ll concede that Final Fantasy II was a bit rough around the edges and III was the better of the 2 games if we’re comparing apples to apples.

      I liked the change of pace brought about by World of Ruin.

    Man oh man, xygor, another phenomenal retrospective and overview! I remember hearing from my classmates in middle school when this first came out on the Super Nintendo, but I was still riding high off of A Link to the Past, Illusion of Gaia, etc. I dismissed it, until a few years later when one of my friends, who was really into RPGs, offered to sell it to me with the Nintendo players guide, as well as Dragon Warrior IV on the NES, for $20! I took him up on the offer, and proceeded to play through the game my senior year of high school. This was would have been about 6 years after it was originally released, and I'm so glad that I did! Seriously one of the most emotive, deep plots, with well developed characters, despite the fact that there were so many to choose from! I was crying many times throughout the playthrough, and hearing your overview of this gem of a game, I was crying just listening to the story be told again.

    Best overall story for me including best "true" villain in the entire series. I know Sephiroth is most popular but we all know he is gonna be the bad guy from the moment you saw him cuz he is too cool.
    This dude is like Joker from Dark Knight movie you think he is just a clown but he murders everyone.
    The heroes here feel extremely balanced, unlike FFs 7+ where the MC hogs 80% of the spotlight. Everyone seems to play a crucial role and got a lot of story development. It's also one of the darkest FFs I've seen with magic being fueled by esper remains and all the magic leaving the land.

    There is a very well written fanfic I had read years ago that was essentially a direct sequel to FF6, 10 years later I think. It spoke of how magic was slowly returning along with an awesome plot... I hope that story hasn't been lost to time.

    It's interesting how often the motif of a country closing itself off from the outside world and conflict revolving around mixed-breed entities comes up in Japanese stories. The aftermath of theEdo period and the Meiji restoration and subsequent modernisation clearly still resonates with writers in Japan even after a century and a half.

      These sorts of political matters in a culture always show up in the media of that culture. Sometimes subtly and sometimes more overtly. Politics always influences.
