| The game Final Fantasy 6 is a beautifully done game. A major achievement for Square. Its intricately woven story, is complimented with the traditional though very unique battle system which resides in all the games in the FF series. The graphics themselves are very good for the time (1994), and as with all Final Fantasies the sound track is unsurpassed. Now mind you to only fairly judge this game you had to look at it from the stand point that when this game was released all you had was a Super Nintendo and you had never even seen the likes of a PlayStation, let alone a PS2. So anyway first off the story which was as mentioned above very good. The characters were portrayed well for the amount each were shown in the game. You could tell what each of their personalities were like and how they would react in a given situation. As for the rest of the story it was perfect for the FF series. Some bad guys trying to achieve ultimate power. The only criticism I would have for it is that some of the elements in the story were brought in a little late. Next the battles, which while the didn't have the cinematic camera angles and 3d graphics of its predecessor was still very entertaining. The skills section was kinda cool, as well as using espers to get magic. And again as with every Final Fantasy there is a mountain of spells, items and equipment you can get. The fighting itself was also basically the same. The only criticism I could give has to do with the graphics and again that has to do with the times. The graphics were superbly done for the Super Nintendo. I couldn't name more than 3 games that were better. everything was detailed and diversified. The movies at the beginning and end were definitely up to standard. And while those weird little expressions on their faces got annoying after a while it didn't take away much from the game. The one other thing that was annoying was the cheap attempts at 3d graphics that they made at the start of the game and a few other places. Finally the sound track. This I have no problems with except the lack of voices in the opera but again the times. So over all a great game. Story 10 Battles 9 Graphics 9 Sound 10 Overall 10 |
