Is Final Fantasy 6 Worth Playing in 2022

[@reliableprez]

What's everyone's opinion on Final Fantasy 6? Let me know below and if you enjoyed the video that LIKE Button helps way more than you might imagine lol (Also the Audio had a bit too much base in it but hopefully it's not too distracting)

[@lostsoulgamer908]

Now Final Fantasy 13-2 next mwahahahaha 😁

[@reliableprez]

@@lostsoulgamer908 Maybe not "next" but damn do I need to do it

[@suburbanindie]

It's great. There's parts toward the end that feel like filler but it's the first really epic game in the series IMO

[@thatminimalisttrainer]

I will just play the romhacks now. Like T-Edition.

[@Shrimp1982]

FF VI is THE game that got me into JRPG's. Of course I had it when it was known as FF III on the SNES, and having played the pixel remaster I can say I still love this game!

[@palazzo1113]

IV lured me in, but it was VI that sealed the deal. It's a masterpiece.

[@dkres82]

It’s funny because 6 is the 1st one I noticed and wanted to play but I never got it for Christmas or Bdays and didn’t have much money otherwise so 1st I actually got to play was 7 when I borrowed it from a friend until I got my own copy. Always wish I could have played it when I was younger but is what it is.

[@palazzo1113]

@dkres82 Have you gotten to play it at all yet?!

[@dkres82]

@@palazzo1113 oh yeah I’ve got 6 on 4 different platforms lol. Love that game.

[@palazzo1113]

@dkres82 oh thank Christ!

[@LordTurban]

I played Final Fantasy VI on it's GBA version (Final Fantasy VI Advance) like, 16 years ago. I loved every single bit of it. Yeah, the game was not perfect by any means, the random encounters were a bit too much for my liking and the navigation was confusing at times, but having never played it before, I enjoyed the story so much, the music, the characters, the beautiful pixel art. After all these years, Final Fantasy VI is still my favorite Final Fantasy game, perhaps for the nostalgia, perhaps for what the game made me feel when I was 15, I don't know, but it's clear, it's one of the best classic Final Fantasy out there, hands down.

[@supremeoverlorde2109]

I played FF6 for the first time last year. I enjoyed it a lot and I can definitely see why it's so beloved in the FF fanbase. I would say that out of the games I've played from the series, it does have some of the best storytelling and some of the best written characters. I would say I think for me personally, the main cast felt a little TOO large at times, simply because there were some characters I wanted to get to know better and it felt like the sheer size of the group held that back a bit. Also, and this is another preference of mine, I think it would have been cool to see stronger connections building between the main characters. Every person had their own little backstory, which is great, but it felt like very few of them had the chance for rich interactions with each other, and for me --- that made them all feel kind of --- disconnected from each other, I guess? Maybe another limitation of the large cast, I don't know. The love for Kefka is well-deserved, though. He's a great villain. And many of the characters like Terra, Celes, Shadow, Sabin, Cyan, etc, really stood out to me. Beautiful soundtrack and for the most part, really smooth and fun gameplay. I did get kind of tired of it toward the end when I had to spend time grinding to learn spells, but overall I enjoyed it. There were some interesting puzzle solving elements too and lots of cool secrets to find. I think when I finished I had clocked in at about 46 hours, which involved me getting all the characters except Umaro (I was going to but didn't realize I needed Mog to pick him up and didn't feel like backtracking), and visiting most of the secret locations. It's a great experience in 2022, and I can only imagine how amazing it must have been in the 1990s when it first came out.

[@reliableprez]

Definitely had moments where it felt like maybe 2-3 less characters maybe would've been a better choice

[@ralphiecifaretto8961]

I don't understand why you were surprised about the things everyone told you were great in this game. It doesn't matter what the graphics look like, Kefka is STILL the greatest villain in FF history.

[@jonathandaoust7247]

First played this in 1994, I was 12 years old and it completly blew my mind. It was the first time a video game was telling me a story and boy what a story it is! I was fascinated by all those characters arc, Kefka and of course the sublime soundtrack, I was completely immerse in this world. I still think this is the best video game of all time and i'm really happy that people are still discovering it 28 years later,

[@akiinmoonlight79]

aaaaand another perfect video ~ 6 is truly special no matter which year, it's a must play jrpg, it just radiates so much magic and meaning ❤

[@KVR020]

Far from perfect, it is a very mainstream casual look on the game and doesn't do this masterpiece enough justice.

[@lewis9s]

Asking if Final Fantasy VI is worth playing in 2024 is like asking if the Mona Lisa is still worth admiring in 2024.

[@elliottdanielle]

I've never played any of the older FF titles. I have only played the more recent additions to the series. After hearing a lot of good things about the older titles I decided to go back and play through them. I'm currently playing throught VII and really enjoying it. I also have VIII and IX lined up (really excited about IX). I was iffy about playing this one, but you've convinced me to add it to my line-up!

[@reliableprez]

If you can get through 7's graphics/visuals then you're good for sure lol

[@miki49]

@@reliableprez Lol 7’s world is gorgeous, those character models outside of combat are far from perfect but they’re more than serviceable

[@terrygrant3883]

9 is by far my favorite best story in my opinion best way to play is just go through it the first time then the second time hunt for all side items

[@brettmoore8642]

7 is complete trash because the story, world, and characters are inconsistent and don't make any sense at all. 9 is one of the greats and 6 is worth a shot. Tactics is super super fun for the right mind. I like 10 and 12 as well. 7 is so so so bad and just passes me off. I stay hating the plot at the Golden Saucer. There's just no excuse for the inconsistencies and sloppy writing. Battle system is fun, though.

[@Liryc83]

I mean 4-10 is when FF was at it's greatest it's kinds lost it's identity for me a little these days.

[@miki49]

A classic, best pixel art out there and top notch music you can’t go wrong

[@212mochaman]

I can confirm it's well worth playing in 2023. Amazingly underappreciated game even while folk say it's the goat

[@CyanKnight96]

Can’t get over how every time this man mentions that some characters aren’t as good as others he just cuts to Gau lmao. But in all seriousness, I think this is a really good critique of the game. Really highlighted all of the ups and downs of the game, and having played the game and loved it, I can agree with pretty much everything that was said. Except for that Locke isn’t good in a battle. That man just scales insanely good as soon as you get him some better equipment. In late game I found it pretty common that Locke would just waaaaaay out DPS Sabin even if he was spamming Phantom Rush. Also Shadow’s Throw is definitely slept on, because in early game that shit just murders enemies on sight. Too bad he’s not around much.

[@reliableprez]

Yeah those bits were just personal lol About locke tbf maybe I just didn't optimise him fully/properly at the end game since I got carried away with some others, and yeah Shadow's throw was way too OP early game

[@TheSuperjohnnyboy198]

FFVl was the first ff game I played when I was younger, and I loved it then and still love it! The story is amazing, I love every playable character. I think I'll play it again after I finish ffX. I honestly compare all ff games to it. It's the standard I use for all of them.

[@spas9001]

A note about the game just feeling too old- I got my start with the PlayStation 1 and loved the PS1 FF games, but had heard a lot about how great FF6 was supposed to be so I grabbed the PS1 port of 6, excited for another great FF game. I could never really get into it as a kid though since the game just felt too old to me, coming from the PS1. When I finally tried it again as an adult I ended up really loving it.

[@lostsoulgamer908]

I love the effort you out towards this game, I love your criticisms I can feel the passion and pain from how you explain the game the way it needs to be explained you did an amazing job with as little spoilers as possible, Im not usually into old games but this has me intrigued honestly cause I like the constant Rollercoaster of the storyline the combat system looks great, the only thing I think is gonna annoy me is fighting every 10 steps like I gotta keep fighting against zubat in pokemon but I think this would be worth it

[@reliableprez]

Glad it came across the way I intended it to, no it's not perfect and can be hard to get used to for modern gamers but there's a lot of good stuff here

[@ENVE5]

I paused at 2 seconds to say, Yes. 100% it is, this game has it all. One of the greatest stories told in an RPG, Some of the most iconic music of all time in a video game and super awesome and great mechanics (especially considering the time it was made.)

[@CyanKnight96]

Really glad I subscribed to your personal channel after seeing your reaction channel. 6 is my favorite game in the series, and one of my favorite games of all time. I always love to see content on it and 9.

[@reliableprez]

Eyy glad to see you on both channels!

[@nivekacodog4209]

I love the details of your video! You earn a new sub! FFVI is actually my first Final Fantasy game which makes it really memorable for me. I played it when I was in 2nd Grade of Primary School. I struggled to understand the game since English isn't my primary language but the fact that I had little understanding and as a delved deeper into it, the game truly helped my comprehension in English and really had me hooked on the chaotic drama of the story as well as every character's background! I played tons of Final Fantasy Games but Final Fantasy VI will always have a special place in my heart! 🥰

[@affliction1979]

I remember the commercials for Final Fantasy VI. I'm that damn old.

[@moebro101]

Your personal favorites tier list video would be cool to watch. You might like playing Star Ocean 2 or the remake version second evolution. Star Ocean 1 or first departure is also nice.

[@brichan1851]

As always, another outstanding video. I love FF VI and this video highlights a lot of the reasons why. This is an amazing game and you have captured the brilliance of it perfectly. I don’t think it’s perfect. There should be a more central character rather than juggling so many. Does anyone really care about Gau? Tera is my favorite and I wish there was more focus on her. Still, it’s fantastic and a blast to play. Thank you for the video. I loved it as I love all your videos. Great job, mate.

[@reliableprez]

Happy to hear that thanks!

[@Cloudcolin]

I care about almost every character in the game. Now about Gau, if you have the time for him, he can be amazing character. I let him learned all the Magics, learned at least 232 of the Rages, and Yojimbo (Retainer) Rage is one of the best I have seen, followed by Io and Fiend Dragon (DoomDrgn) Would you be surpirsed if I told you that he is in my final battle party? In fact, he is. Gau is epic, if you know what to do. The Kappa that shows you the tutorial about Gau when you first recruited him tells you how you can get Gau to learn his ability "Rage". You have to encounter the enemy and at least defeat them, and then they would appear in the Veldt, and you give some time to encounter those enemy in the Veldt and allow Gau to Leap and then when he reappears (without attacking him), Gau would have learned the Rage for that monster. Gau have an over 250+ Rages to learn from, and some might be more useful and flashier than the others. This is the final battle moments with Gau in the party. I might be the few people who cares about Gau and the other 11 core characters in the game.

I played through it for the first time this year (2024). FF1, 2, and 7 all lost my patience after a few hours, but as soon as I began FF6 I never wanted to stop.

[@Purplepenguinguy]

There is a button that lets you turn random encounters off at whim, deff more enjoyable to play the game with this feature. It doesn’t dilute the experience much as you will still have to make sure you are keeping pace with enemies levels

[@DoraKage]

Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI were my first 2 RPGs - Im that old. So the bar was set really high. And frankly - Ive barely experienced other modern games that match up to these two. I am just about to take on the Final dungeon after starting the pixel remaster on the Switch a week ago. FF VI holds up, its one of the franchises that inspired me to be in the games industry

[@QLMTA]

Wich modern games would you say achieve the same high bar? I can personally only think of Yakuza 7 and Octopath 2. Would love to hear some more recommandations:)

[@Stormassacra]

Your FF videos are great but dont forget to breath sometimes ! ;)

[@tsunaxsawada10]

I can't believe I didn't watched this sooner. And I used to keep bugging you to play VI during your earlier videos. As much as I love that you did this, I hope you come across all the character side-quests and some hidden scenes across the game, there's even that one scene in the game can be missed if you waited for a certain someone and I recommend just watching that scene on KZbin. My one major gripes with this version (Pixel Remaster) of the game is they made fishing easier. Did you win at the fishing mini-game Prez? Because losing is the better outcome and the canon route. Another is a nitpick of mine, I dislike the English Voice for Celes in the Opera.Other languages sounded a lot better than the English singer. You can change the Celes's Voice by changing the languages options but it will also change the text. Music is also a huge improvement to the original. Some were even extended with the intent to make it longer and more grand than ever before. Some were successful in their intent, some were not so successful. But one song really stands out to me is Searching for Friends. I'm glad you finally played VI.

[@reliableprez]

I actually REALLY liked the Opera scene but that's without any knowledge about it before hand so that's something

[@FinalFreak1337]

hey! legit just here to say that i loved the video :D thank you for the work you put in your videos

[@sorryeverafter523]

After FF XV and FF VII there is FF VI time. And this would be the last, because I'm not a huge fan of jRPGs or repeating a lot of things (such as summons or chocobos, Cid, Bigs and Wedge etc.) all over again... FF VII supposed to be the last, but after hearing all these enthusiastic opinions about VI I really can't hold myself🤭I need one more... because neither FF XV nor VII didn't give me what I expected in full (good games both, but 8/10 max) and I really count on VI now. I'm after first hour already and it was hard to get used to almost immobile opponents in battles. Also english isn't my first language, so I need to focus a little bit more with dialogues, but for a good story I'm in! It isn't my first NES or SNES game but as of now, I have a REALLY tough time with getting used to the graphics, after half an hour or so it's starting to give me slight eyes pain. But yeah, I do trust it would be worthy now, in 2023. I'm really intrested in music, Kefka, Terra and seeing how the story goes.

[@kylemundy8871]

I'm sure most people are fine with going back to play old games they haven't played yet. But man....I wish more people got to play ff6 when it came out. It was mind blowing. It's quaint now, but it was groundbreaking at the time.

[@kittenburger_prime]

Having grown up with pixel games, I felt they provided a superior experience because in your mind you are filling in the blanks with your own perfect details. When FF games went HD with 7 and onward I had a harder time enjoying them because the developers were filing in the details and I didn't like their details as much as I liked my own. The same goes for story complexity and dialogue. It's easier to accept clunky dialogue coming from blocky drawings of humans than it is to accept clunky dialogue from photorealistic humans. I wonder if any younger gamers are able to appreciate pixels the same way I did because of when I grew up.

Final Fantasy VI can be as hard as you want it to be, you claim it is not difficult but you play on baby mode with Edgar in your team, try playing the story wthout him in your team and you will see that the game can be harder than you think. Also you want a quest log? well older games are as good as they are because they dont hold your hand every single second off the game. Tedious dungeons? Have we played the same game? I liked the dungeons much in this game and think they are one of the most varied in the entire series. Sorry dont want to be rude but with some point you talk about in this review, you just dont do this masterpiece enough justice. In my eyes this is a review from a casual mainstream gamers perspective, nothing wrong with that but maybe you have to mention that in the title or subscription of your video so that people know what they are getting into watching this one. Overall I don't think you have it in you to critique a masterpiece like this, Maybe you can better stay at your modern games with modern graphics, I think a game like the Last of us or God of War are a perfect fit for you.

[@reliableprez]

Different opinions on a lot of different areas, and that's okay. You're forgetting the title of this video and the point which is for those who are interested now (that includes many people who are used to quest logs etc.) to showcase if this is something they would be interested in or is it too old or outdated for their liking. You clearly love the game and think it's a 10/10 masterpiece, I simply didn't see it that way but still considered it to be a good game worth playing
