Set in a different world to the previous Final Fantasy games, VI takes a change from the usual medieval worlds of before and this time takes place in a more modernized steampunk world sort of mirroring the Second Industrial Revolution where machines are far more common. The story is set around this time of this great empire called Gestahlian Empire Empire, an expanding political power led by Emperor Gestahl and his top generals, including the psychotic Kefka Palazzo. While there is this huge political upheaval, and wars spreading, a rebel group forms. The central plot focuses on a fair few characters, but most prominently Terra, a young girl who has spent ...  Read the complete review

FFVI remains today, as one of the finest RPG's ever made with a memorable cast and an expansive story... Lets get started on the most obvious thing, the graphics. If you like fancy, modern graphics then you are going to despise this and that's your loss. FFVI has classic 2D visuals which convey the story better than most polygonal RPG's. Every character is quite detailed and can instantly be separated from the rest by their distinctive looks. Towns too, are very detailed and feature some nice little features like hidden back-doors etc. Every town is fairly distinctive as each will include one unique location that others do not have. With ...  Read the complete review

Welcome to my first review in a LONG while. Those who remember me may want to exit the building, about now. I'm not going to bandy words. Well... I probably am going to, but this is a review of which I am going to hold no punches. Final Fantasy: The game genre of which I have devoted the culmination of my lifes entire orientation. I don't really care IF i get a degree or not (well... I do actually...) But to live without Final Fantasy is to me, like living without air, or stimulation. I am, quite bluntly obsessed, (except for 8 which also quite blunty, sucked) . So imagine the terrible excitement which gripped me with quite a casual air when I ...  Read the complete review

Final Fantasy 6 is the one of the most interesting games I have ever played on. Straight away it is an interesting game. All the Final Fantasy?s are about magic and swords and that lot but there are never wars using magic that can destroy the world, that is what really got me playing, the difference in this game to the others of the series. There are a maximum of 13 characters, 12 which are normal and in the book and one, Gogo, which is a bonus/Secret character which you get near the end. The whole point in the game is to stop an evil emperor and thus stopping ?the War of Magi? repeating itself as it happened hundreds of years ago. You have to go around towns like in all  Read the complete review

This game is an absolute classic. From start to finish this is a mindblowing experience full of magic and atmosphere. The story revolves aroudn 10 characters who are trying to stop the destruction of the world from the evil Kefka. The graphics, of course, are the same as the original (from the SNES), only with more FMVs. The gameplay is classic, the timeless originality which is an influence to all RPGs. For longevity, you're looking at around 40 hours just to complete the game. Great fun. ...  Read the complete review
