Skill Up Ummm final fantasy 6 actually has the 1st female protagonist and final fantasy 12 was great. Personally I liked the 13 trilogy while it wasn't perfect. A lot of your views on 12 and 13 are more opinions than fact 13 split up the fanbase between love and hate more than Being considered a disappointment by all. I do agree 15 sucked unfortunately.

So, FF6 is a weird game in that it has _multiple_ main characters. You can easily argue that Terra, Locke, Celes, and/or Sabin and Edgar are main characters. Personally, I think that Celes is more 'main' than the rest, but there's serious caveats with that.

Your lengthy review was insightful. However, I feel you should have given more credit to the game's impressive visuals. As far as "world building" goes, the main reason FF10 and 13 (and their sequels) were so linear was because of the detailed visuals. To make a more open-world game with that level of detail would have been a tremendous undertaking at the time. The fact that they did it for XV (with a 10+ year development cycle) was in itself an impressive feat. Where I think Square needs to improve is the character development of the main protagonists in its games. I remember Tidus was a bit cringeworthy and annoying back in the day. I didn't find Zidane or Vaan particularly likeable either. Cloud, Squall and Lightning were all kind of dull and brooding characters. I feel like the supporting characters have had more depth than the main characters ever since FF7. Sure Cloud has received a lot more development with all the various spin-off games since his original appearance, but I think Barret and Red XIII were much more interesting than Cloud in the original game. I'll grant you, FF7 did give a lot of attention to Cloud's background and the origin of the SOLDIER program, etc. That kind of explains his lack of personality and overall emotional detachment from people. It was still a great game, but in a way it felt awkward at times when it was left to Tifa to play the psychologist and figure out what Cloud's mental problems are about, with very little input from Cloud himself.

As soon as i played a few hours of this game on release, i could tell it was just a ff7 remake beta test.

Skill Up i agree with everything u say but the combat system, i think it was intentionally made in such A way that ppl who wants to just play it for fun or ppl who wants learn the game..if put a bit more time into to learn the proper combat system its deep n helluva fun, sadly u need to master them for the endgame dungeons n stuffs..

@Coonje Raynor no cyberpunk is a bad story in my opinion sorry to say it fanboy

That was beautifully said.

Exactly this

It's definitely the best worst game I've ever played. I love the general beauty of it byt the story sucked and the game play was almost irrelevant. I didn't realise till half way through that I could choose to hold down attack... Seriously what a pathetic function... It wasn't even needed.

Except when he's talked about the game since, he talks about how much he hates the game. Lol

Is not a bad game you dick

Thats what I look for the most in my RPGs, great running animations.

Having only 4 main characters gave them the advantage of being able to focus on the little details of each one. That's why I feel the animations and the intra-party dialogue are pretty strong points.

@@ashb8205 he's talking about the video, not the game

That's usually what FF has always excels at. It's guaranteed that at least one song or all of the soundtrack will be good despite the story and gameplay sucking.

man sometime i think SE is actually a music company, not a game company, hell their games are sometimes overpriced AF but their soundtrack album worth every-single-penny.

Except for the soundtrack in towns which is so annoying to listen to I muted it.

For all their shortcomings, Square Enix never misses with their OSTs

The laugh is done the same in all languages. It isn't a bad dub or bad VAing, it's supposed to sound bad and forced. That isn't hard to understand when you actually have the context, lmao. Tbh, I think Tidus' laugh being "bad VAing" is more of a meme than anything.

Omg Omg OMG man.... i bneat this game like 5 fuckin times and i wonder if people understoodd the point of that scene... he was trying to laugh like that on purpose to get everyones mind off their seemingly impossible task and he was really trying to create that awkward moment on purpose to lighten the whole mood.

People are too mentally challenged to understand it was supposed to be deliberately cringey, hence why Tidus and Yuna burst out laughing right afterwards (a stilted attempt at forcing laughter in a dreary moment).

Came here to say the exact same thing. I wonder if people know this and say it anyway because so many have said it before or if they really didn’t get the scene.

Jesus Christ people. Obviously everybody got the scene, it's hard not to, as this scene is as deep as the puddle of piss one ejects after a long night of drinking. And while it is a great scene, the laughter sequence is hilariously bad with or without context (100% on purpose tho, I give you that), hence it being a meme for a really long time. But leave it to people on the internet to have a circlejerk, because of them understanding a cutscene, for which you'd have to be literally mentally challenged not to do so.

x-2 anyone?

X2 was utter trash and a supreme disrespect to 10

iezari garrard x and x2 was the best of the series, they are what i think when i think ff. every game since has been either garbage or weak. i cant comprehend how anyone can call them bad. you dont have to like them, i hate 15's style, but technically i can admit 15 is a decent game with looks and game play wise. but you cant think x and x 2 are trash and still have control of your entire brain, because its just not accurate. gameplay wise x and x2 are the best ff's, and story wise x2 is great, everything with antag gave me chills, while x is a masterpiece. you ppl need to think before you say stupid things.

The Rogue Empire I said 10-2 is trash. Not 10. Ten is in the top 3 FF

The Rogue Empire X-2 was trash everything about it sucked except the battle system, graphics and mini games/side quest content. It's my 2nd least favorite ff game next to FF2.

Anxious Neck Games directly inspired by the original Final Fantasy and the film “Stand by Me”. Really cool mashup

I didn't have a problem with a broventure, but ffxv was trash for a lot of other reasons

@Darrow Au Andromedus I hear your points but I'm going to have to hit you with a hard disagree. Mind you I played ffxv at release and didn't enjoy it enough to buy the dlc I look at ffxv and I think of the things I like about the game. I like freedom to go where I want, eventually, and it's world was pretty. I liked prompto taking pictures, I sometimes liked how the bros interacted with one another, I liked the music and how I could listen to different ff music in the car. Thunder plains and blinded by light were my go tos. And I liked how grand some of the set pieces felt. The cinematics transitioning into these larger than life battles felt amazing and awesome Then after the awe factor wore off, I can not say with good conscience that it was anything but trash. Touching on some of the points you brought up the story and multimedia. I felt a large disconnect from the story because so much was left to the movies. I didn't care about Noctis' city at all (I don't remember the name) because I never visited it, or knew anything about it. People can say that's my fault for not watching the movie, but I don't like watching a lot of movies, and I'm pretty sure I had to pay for it or bootleg it but I could be wrong about that. The game didn't even bother to include it in the game (I did watch the anime tho). The characters for the most part I didn't care for because we barely knew about them. We know that Noctis and lunafreya are in an arranged marriage from the start of the game and we're traveling to go get married. Ok. Noctis hasn't seen lunafreya in years and despite having cellphones they communicate via magic pupper. Cryptic but cool I guess. We finally get to lunafreya and maybe we can see her and noctis actually talking and interacting. It's an arranged marriage so they don't have to show that much affection but it was made clear that they had some type of feelings for each other. We finally meet her and boop she dies. There goes my motivation since the start of the game, other than ya know my city that I don't care about getting blown up. So she's dead and I'm supposed to be angry? Sad? Oh no I'm supposed to be sad because noctis is sad? Ok I'll be sad for this girl's death that I didn't care about. And this ardyn guy, I hate him because he killed my girlfriend that I didn't care about and betrayed us when I gave him my trust after knowing him for 5 seconds and him already being shady af. I could go on, and on about how shit the story is because it was the most forgettable part of the adventure. Almost everything about this story is forgettable, there are barely any moments that stand out except the set pieces like the one I described and one part where some guy I didn't know (but the protagonists did) became a zombie or something and the game makes it seem like oh I'm supposed to be really mad at ardyn because he turned this dude that I barely knew into a zombie guy. Idgaf. The other reason I remember that boss was because it was where one of my biggest problems with game was. The combat system was shit, straight trash I know I've gone on very long about the story well I'm not gonna bore you with the other problems I have with the game like average english voice acting, and the abysmal end game that they tried to trick me into thinking it was an actual endgame. I'm going to skip straight to the big boy. The press O to deal damage and square to avoid damage (I played ps4 so I'm using ps4 terminology) I play a lot of games, I love rpgs to death I really do I like creative turn based combat, or generic TBC that does it really well and fun. I love action games like dmc and my most llayed game of all time is tekken 7. Dude when I played ffxv I turned my brain off. There was not a single challenging fight in the game, there were no choices to be made in combat (I could only control noctis) other than O to attack square to dodge, warp strike for ap or to get out of combat and regenerate. And spam magic, because they cost nothing and making the broken chaos spells in the game was way to fuckin easy. Oh and PRESS SQUARE TO PARRY, I wrote that in all caps because when an "unphasable attack" comes the games blares all it's sirens and tells you to hold square because if you don't bad things will happen. I didn't get hit by a single one of these attacks the entire game, idek why tf they added them. Phasing costs mp which is also used for warp strikes, cool what else is it used for absolutely fuckin nothing. By the end of the game you have abilities that allow you to mash square for a perfect dodge that costs almost no mp and your mp regenerates. Tf? Ok so I'm nigh invincible now how on earth could they possibly balance this along with the mountain of potions I've stock piled because I'm rich. Well since you can't wear me down with many attcks because of perfect dodge mash square, we're going to instakill you. I swear to fuck in the end game dundgeons the amount of times I got instakilled was ridiculous, there was no complex ai or cool moves, the cinematics had came and gone now I was left with this shit, every enemy is spongebob squarepants and they have instakills. Is the game hard yet, do I have to think anymore than I did when I turned this game on. NO. Because items have s and I have 99 pheonix downs and 99 mega pheonix'. This game's "endgame" at level 99 I shit you not was me spamming tf outta pheonix downs and wearing down enormous health pools like how they ruined the adamantite turtle or whatever. This games combat was so fucking brain dead and unenjoyable that it belongs in the garbage. This is the abridged version of my rant I could snap about this game for hours, but the thing that hurt the most was that when people were criticizing the game before release for being active combat and not no menus, no spellcasting. I was saying hey give it a chance it might not be that bad. It was trash. Now I'm going to tell you why FF7R is better in every way. Probably in a shorter post cuz you most likely won't read this whole thing

@Darrow Au Andromedus I was born in 97 same year as ff7. I did not play it for the first time until like 2 years ago then I played some again before remake release. I never beat it. People harolded this game as the god of rpgs and their entire childhoods. I thought it was overrated. For it's time I understand it was incredibly, but there was something about it that didn't draw me in to finish it like 6, or 10. I even enjoyed X-2 more. I have absolutely no nostalgia for this game, but as I game I can say it was pretty good not gonna go into detail about that. Now the remake comes out and I have no intention on buying it on release because square had betrayed me with kh3 and ffxv I couldn't trust them anymore. Then I saw gameplay of the game, the bombing run, and I saw combat and options in combat. Options that mattered that could make your fight, easier or more difficult. I heard the remixed music (one of my favorite parts of the original) and it was incredibly the graphics were amazing. And the english voice actors actually sounded FUCKING GOOD. Cloud in this game was leagues better than the one in the original, because of the writing, the voice acting and the graphics. On to your points specifically. The dancing in a dress I fuckin loved that shit, in the original you blast through that part in a half an hour. I fuckin love the idea of this serious ass mercenary dancing in a dress because he has to if he wants to save his friend from don corneo. Cloud doesn't enjoy it like at all. If you watch the dance cloud tries to attack andrea for getting to close to him, it's hilarious. Aerith is in the crowd and they're loving this shit they're going crazy and I'm loving this shit too because it's not everyday you see cloud doing anything but being a serious, smart mouth merc dude. And what does he say when he meets tifa? He says that he FUCKING NAILED IT with still not even a crack of a smile on his face. That shit was hype. That shit was hyper than me flying over an ocean, battling an ocea-uh-Leviathan, and holding O to win to epic music. And then getting sad that my gf died. There are so many moments in the remake that are memorable because I loved them and I want to play them again to experience it again. Only thing I want to experience in ffxv again is letting ignis drive me across the country while listening to music from a different game lol. You can say this game is a hallway simulator, and that's an almost valid critique. The only problem with it is that games don't have to be open world to be good. My favorite ff is X and that shit is way more linear than 7R. The reason the linearity didn't make me feel limited was because there were enough nooks and cranies to explore unlike ff13, and because customization was so freeform again unlike the beginning portions of 13. I'm not even going to talk about the combat. Because I love it, you like it apparently, and it is leagues better than 15 objectively. The customization goes hand in hand. I could make any character I wanted into a tank, a healer, damage dealer, a buffer, a debuffer. Close minded people saw aerith and thought oh she's the healer support mage. People who saw the possibilities put all their support magic on cloud because he didn't have a good magic weapon yet and turned aerith into a fucking nuke. Some textures are bad yeah, the skybox distracts me everytime I look up. Without a doubt. But saying that the remake overall has bad graphics is some laughable shit lmao I don't even have to argue about that, the game looks beautiful for the most part. Especially given that they were working on it for ps4 lmao Like I said dialogue was one of my favorite parts of the remake. Cringe? Dude I come to youtube and rewatch cutscenes from the game just to hear the voice actors again. But of course nothing is perfect, I don't like the writing of aerith's speech at the end, in fact after aerith gave her speech and barrot said like 2 sentences his 2 sentences were delivered with the tone that made me feel like it eclipsed that speech entirely. I love the characters in 7r I love the world, the battles, the music. I see the flaws just like everything else, but saying that this game is trash and ff15 isn't is ludicrous. Congrats for making it to the end of my short rant, I'd appreciate any response even as simple as "I didn't read it loser", or "ff7r sucks kid". Cya

Jeremy has left the chat.

The harshest thing about this game is that fans themselves are to blame for it not being able to reach its full potential. The final DLCs, that would have fixed some of the biggest issues with the game, were canned partially because of its cold reception by the fans.

This game had the potential to be one of the best FF ever if not directly the best of all, but as you said there was a lot of waste here, so sad…

@@XxXDaLoXxX znnn . ......... oz ,

@@emanuelepolloni4002 I doubt it, I think this game is just fundamentally flawed. The story, the gameplay, the crappy side quests. Some bonus content couldn't fix the main game

Honestly I think with Tetsuya Nomura being the initial lead for the game it was never going to reach it's full potential. Nomura seems incapable of truly laying out a story and following it through. It's like he thinks of new concepts and constantly wants to add more or change something and it just makes it impossible to have cohesion.

Just finished the game fully... totally agree... but it wasn't just Ignis... the chocobro's and Ardyn were all great characters. It's such a shame as all of the components were there for this to have been the best FF game since VII but unfortunately terrible business decisions screwed it up.

KoTu that’s my number 1 too

Its honestly amaxing how fantastic their cgi scenes are. The almost look like live action in some of the later games imo

Well they make movies so their cg is always top tier but I don’t like how you see an epic cutscene then cuts to complete dog poo poo. The cutscenes are so much better looking that it creates a huge contrast with the actual game graphics and it’s hard to ignore

He ia just jumping on the bandwagon without understanding thw nuance of the scene

He is using that scene to make a point on the general quality of voice acting in FF titles. It is cartoonish and over acted to a cringeworthty degree. I personally LOVED with all my heart FF7 and 8 and 9, until they started using voice actors. I was so stoked to find out they would be being used, like Metal Gear Solid I thought. But no way, I couldn't even make it more than 10 hours into FF10, It was just that voice acting. The characters from FF7 and 8 sounded so cool in my head, and it was nothing like my imagination when it was brought to life. I have also played FF12 and it was better but I didn't finish it, and I also played FF13 and finished it, and the acting was still pretty cheesy in places and immersion breaking but not from all characters. The first voice acted FFX was not executed well, on top of being indicative of the clear cultural differences in how square wants their characters portrayed in english dubs (seeing as this trend carries on right throughout the series), more like an anime than a serious story. Don't get me wrong I like Anime, and I watch dubs, but I usually shy away and cringe at the more cheesy choices, and I just don't think that auditory aesthetic of anime fits the worlds of FF. Not to my taste anyway. The only exception to this IMO is the FF7R, which I finished and very much enjoyed. I am so glad they went for the vibe that they did. It still has that JRPG vibe, sometimes a little cheesy, but it comes over endearing instead of cringe. I so hope they continue in this vein.

I love that scene

@@Glen0cide switch to subbed?

@@Glen0cide Him using that scene to point out the general quality was a HORRIBLE scene to use due to the context. Him pointing that scene out to point out the quality, or lack-there-of in the voice acting is meaningless because that scene was supposed to be ridiculous.

@@Agent_Verse play the ff7 remake and tell me ffxv gives u the same feeling as it did to us 20years ago, the remake is a final fantasy, this is not.

@Darrow Au Andromedus a game doesnt have to deliver brainless fetch quests over an open world to feel alive. yes id love to have the remake not as linear but ill also get why, because the original was very linear in midgar because it was the start of the game, comparing graphics doesnt give jackshit about the game itself. i highly prefer a ps1game that is awesome over any graphics out there. Sidequests arent good indeed but neither are they in ffxv u just dont notice the fetch quest nr83 that much because there more open world elements covering it, yet every quest in ff15 is a glorified fetch quest, while they use some in the remake to lenghten the game but not to a borderliner insane amount like ff15 does. ff15 has 0 storytelling, so many changes since its release including the endboss multiple movies etc to even get a feel for 1 single character. ff7remake makes you understand why every character acts the way he does, because it evolves the characters pretty well. ff15 has 0.0% of evolving characters, no challenge or whatsoever, even pausing the game for you when you somehow during spamming triangle and spamming triangle even more

Shaidon7 LITERALLY

That's my biggest problem with it as well. Sure the game in general is a departure from other games, but I enjoyed it a lot. The second half felt like it was a different game. It was okay, but especially in the endless corridors, I just wanted it to be over. After that section it was over way to quick lol.

Shaidon7 literally my only problem with the game now is that exact thing. It makes complete sense tho, once your in the heat of the story it would be kinda weird for you to just walk off and be like “fuck it I’d rather grind”. Nowadays FF15 is one of the better in the entire series imo, after all the fixing I truly love the game.

The main problem isn't that it's literally on rails. The main problem is that the first half is not on rails AT ALL. While the latter half is too much on rails. Think about the structure of FF7, 8, 9 and 10, it's very much on rails. It's just camouflaged as not being on rails. I have no problem with games on rails, but it requires great writing. Take Uncharted series and Last of us as a great example. Uncharted 4 was one of the best games I've ever played and it managed to NAIL the balance between on rails and not on rails. It just told a great story.

MrKennyBones idk, I feel like those games are a little different in the sense that progression isn’t based on stats, like in FF15 there may (I swear to god I didn’t even have to do it once) be times when you have to grind, rail locked portions of the game kinda screw you if your in that situation. But imo the real problem isn’t that one portion of the game is rail locked it’s more that the portion of the game that is rail locked doesn’t feel engrossing enough to warrant being rail locked. Most railocked games (last of us included) have an amazing story that has you on the edge of your seat and with that you find yourself constantly wanting to progress through said story. So, the rail lock doesn’t just seem warranted but also necessary, nobody wants to wait any amount of time in between a great plot. If FF15 had that plot then nobody would be complaining about having to sit through it like it was a chore. And the weirdest thing is, the progression system makes complete sense, in basically every story ever told it starts out pretty care free, light hearted, open for interpretation and the like, the beginning of most stories are generally designed to ease you into the situation and they did that pretty well, I never felt rushed to get the story done and felt like I could enjoy everything at my own pace. Later into the story is supposed to be the time when you’ve already become invested and when the game narrows down into a story driven journey. This game just failed to tell a good enough story

Not at all lol

Lol

I literally paused to find a comment about this. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Yeah now FF15 launch is not that bad 😂

Mind you it was all ver unexpected. I really thought they’d knock it out the park. Who’d have thought eh?

I love the voice acting, it's better than the Japanese. And the four boys' relationship and their love for eachother is the highlight of the game. Gameplay and story sucked though.

I know this is old, but I dont even understand how you could like the voice acting. 24:20. Nothing about that is good. The tone doesn't match, they aren't breathing heavy like you'd assume, their voices are so loud its overpowering all the background noise, and the character models look extremely angry in the middle of a boss fight, while the line sounds like they're sitting on the couch fighting over a remote. Sometimes its good, usually prompto, but it was a majority stuff like 24:20.

@@TheTinyTimmyTimTim The *vast* majority of the time it's not like that line, and there's a reason that he chose that out of the entire game's VA - it's the worst line delivery in the game. It makes sense that you'd go with the best example of a problem, but I generally think that the voice acting is fine-to-great. It's obviously going for a far less naturalistic style than something like The Last of Us, but that doesn't mean that it's bad, it's the difference between a theater performance and a filmic dramatic performance.

I liked them from the beginning and their jokes make chuckle and laugh. What I hated is that the best parts of them were chopped to the dlc and movies. I was sadly not aware of that until i finished the game. There was a beautiful scene in the after credits that should have been in the last scene before the boss

And Ardyn's VA was just phenomenal

Totally agree.

You enjoying it in your second play through shows exactly what Ralph was getting at about the gaming feeling like it’s on rails. playing on ng+ with max stats and without the hud (whos sole purpose is to make navigating the games mechanics easier) is basically playing a movie at that point and just succumbing to however the game wants to be played which kind of defeats the purpose of gaming. And yes you can like a game if you want to but having to eat a 1 hour long video to find out how exactly to do that makes the enjoyablity redundant

..It is getting hate because it is a terrible game. Play X and you will understand just how awful this game is. Saying this is your first says alot. Bad story, even worse combat.

@@HumorousLOL eh I’ve played other FF since the last 2 years. Doesn’t change my enjoyment of FF15.

Sadly that is majority of videogames nowadays, they keep making these open worlds that dont feel organic and fill them with stuff that is not engaging the player in a good way and feel like busy work for the sake of just padding the game time.

@@firzokkhan6443 Ubisoft games in a nutshell

@@dipo7502 Agreed, but i guess people like this monotony as they keep selling.

@@firzokkhan6443 I think it's because it's safe to keep selling the same games with minor improvements. Just look at hollywood action movies, they're all the same, yet they get the most watchers.

Kevin Mitchell I’m still depressed about Ignis’ eyes.

Patetic

@@remuvs ignis is best husbando tho

That was my girlfriend watching me play.

haha same here. im happy everyone had no idea what they where doing in that fight also! hahaha it did feel cool but i literally never knew if i was playing the game correctly

True. Also, Celes, who is the protagonist of the second half of the game (Terra is the protagonist of the first half).

@@bigbuffguy9589 well the first half of the first game, the lock is... at points. And Celes is for the second half... sort of. Until they get the air ship at least. Hmmmm. Maybe there really isn't a main protagonist in 6, but it is instead a team.

Well, they managed to make me hate him lol I don't know if I dislike more him or squall 😂

@@Talking_Ed Why would you hate Tidus? He's very sweet and chill, and his character development is great.

@@kostasspirou1010 He has the charm of a football player so none to me lol He's a bit too energic and silly for my taste, not saying he's not good or anything

Amen.

UltraViolence lol, "mainstream television"? Mainstream television is just about dead, or dying at best, this isn`t the 90`s..

Jan Christian Frodahl I don't disagree with you if that's what you're thinking :S Mainstream television will always exist even if it's "dead" tho. One day they're gonna have to pull the fish fingers out of their asses and realize that gaming isn't some weird nerd-culture phenomenon and is actually the future of entertainment

lol what is a "television"? =D

Do you plan to try it at any point in time?

Rex815 om getting it on this january sale actually

@@TrolleLOL currently FFXV (all updates, dlc, etc) is available on Gamepass, great service

alintro I just exchanged my Xbox for a Nintendo switch. Game pass is great though :)

You have to make your own choice on when to stop playing the main game and do the DLC, since the DLC isn't naturally integrated into those points in the story. Episode Ignis would absolutely have to be relegated to after the end of the game, since that Episode is a direct spoiler for what happens in the main plot.

Cheers mate

I have come up with a new recipe.

Adrian SH Lol I never got tired of that

My favorite video meme clip of last year... Someone took the Prompto Teaser Clip, where he's in the desert, and from a distance you can see he is aiming his gun down at someone on the ground and then they have a clip that says, "I've come up with a new recipe!" in Ignis' voice, and then Prompto fires his gun finishing off the guy on the ground. I must have laughed for five minutes after I saw that... I know, I have a dark and twisted sense of humor.

That's actually a real fitting title to give it. One of the best games I've ever played that is obviously flawed...

I daresay I could make this at camp

BRUH legit, this game is so good at emulating what friendship is. I remember how, after the post-credits scene, I immediately messaged my buddies and arranged plans to hang out because you don't know how much time you'll have left with them. FFXV is stronk

Lost Odyssey's battle system was not so well made....

AnbenK How

Last Story on the Wii is the real Final Fantasy legacy

@@AnbenK I've had the game for years and just tried to actually get through it. The combat is ok it's not the worse turn based game out there.

I hated how far apart the save crystals were. Though the writing in those memory vignettes was terrific.

Crystalline Chill is dope

I felt like Episode Prompto and Episode Ignis were great though. The two DLCs oddly enough made me wish our main character wasn't Noctis, or at least Noctis had a different role or personality.

Dylan McCollum lol truth.

I think the ending summarizes what happened to Final Fantasy over the past twenty years: Square Enix no longer gives a shit about substance; they're just all pretty blinky lights, shiny things, and spectacle without any actual substance.

Me too bro

I enjoyed the game. Liked the world, the characters and the boss battles. The story was fine I think... But what I truly loved was the credits scene, "Stand By Me" is such a great song. But once you finish the game you barely remember anything of importance. Thats when you realise the game is not a bad game, but an awful Final Fantasy game. FF games are all about story and plot, the only thing this game had in common with the other FF's games was the title

All these comments thinking Terra was the main character. There really wasn't one in ff6.

Dr. 2006 at the time of development yes. Before FF6, there was no way at all to switch characters or anything. They developed FF6 to be able to have anyone in your party that you want. However, the main story centers around Terra and Celes. This is why Terra was chosen as the Dissidia character and the assumption of her as the main character. The narrative of FF6 definitely does revolve around those two female characters.

@@DOC_951 I mean, the main characters aren't quite as dominant narratively in FFVI as they are in the other games in the series. But Terra is the protagonist of the World of Balance, and Celes is the protagonist of the World of Ruin.
