Why oh why can't I like Final Fantasy 6?

[DeeJayTee]

So many people say it's brilliant. But I can't get past the raft sequence before losing interest.

I think it's starting to affect my personal life. My girlfriend won't give me the time of day. Dogs growl at me, while I've been repeatedly spit on by toddlers and young children. A homeless man walked past me today and kicked me in the groin, while bystanders beside me did nothing but smirk. An elderly lady even took the opportunity to shove her boot in my face while I was down on the ground.

What can be done?

I have to go back and play that game someday I played it in year 9 (I was 14 or 15), loved it to bits but I was playing on an emulator and my laptop got formatted.

I was so shattered

All I can say is that game was awesome. Keep at it.

Don't worry you're not alone. My car exploded, I got punched in the face, and I fell off the floor. I figured out the solution however! Never play another Square Enix game again, I recommend hearty doses of games by NIS America, Bioware, and Atlus. Or you could try another genre of games.

No matter how good it is, it's still a JRPG. Now, if you generally like JRPGs and still can't get into it? Then your girlfriend, dogs, toddlers, and young children are smarter than you think.

Can't get through the raft part but..but..that's where you meet Ultros.. he brightens up everyone's day.
Clearly your bad luck is the doing of that wicked octopus.

Once the three groups reunite the game gets really interesting. Honestly though everything up until those three groups reunite kinda blows. Harshly. After that it gets better and better.

Seriously. Stick it out past the crappy bit and you won't be dissapointed. Its the best final fantasy out there.

You're obviously a bad person and neither a gentleman nor a scholar. You shall be none of these things until you complete and love it.

It took a few shots of Jack Daniel's, but I made it past the octopus.

To be frank, I think it might simply be the combat system that frustrates me. So far, all I seem to be doing is using the default attack command, healing between battles, and, maybe, if the enemies have a blue hue, using fire magic.

I've decided to read a plot synopsis and end the exploration there. Hopefully the angry mob forming outside my window will be satisfied and let move on with my life.

Forget about it and play Illusions of Gaia instead.


Also, this thread is made of win.

I support this post. Illusion of Gaia is one of the best SNES RPGs, better then any final fantasy and anyone who disagrees can go fuck themselves. Soulblazer isn't too bad either, neither is Terranigma but Illusion of Gaia is the best. Every so often I play through all 3 in order.

People who can't see the value of IoG over FFVI are nothing more than pocky-munching weeaboo tools who need to pull their heads out of their asses. IoG was damn near a perfect game because it was just memorable enough for me to still look back and say "yeah, that part of the game was awesome" while not self-indulgent enough for me to form any emotional teenage attachments to any of the characters.

So characters you can become attached to are flaws?

No, getting attached to characters from video games to the point where you have to open up a deviantART account to draw yaoi fan art of them is a personal failure, not one on the part of Squaresoft.

IoG wins because while the characters were developed, they weren't developed to the point of encouraging weeaboo retardation.
