Welcome to my review on Final Fantasy 6, I'm not going to spend too long blabbering on about it before I get to the actual review but this game is truly one of my favorites of all time. Not only did I grow up on this game but my mother did too. This game features the SNES at it's finest when it comes to RPG style games. Well... That's just about enough senseless prattle, Time to move on to the review. I hope you enjoy it.
Graphics: This games graphics are outstanding for the time it's used in given the fact it was supposed to be like the previous Final Fantasies, If you think about it for just a moment you might think there might be others that have better graphics... While this is true this game was made to be modeled after the previous games with better graphics, and you know what? It shows. Even though there are some with arguably better graphics; Not many were weighed down in the same way this game was when it game to visuals, Not to mention some of the spell animations really are pretty impressive and the game has a really beautiful scenery (kinda) that truly helps you feel like you have delved into the game if you allow yourself to that is. My score... 9.
This is because there are still games that some could say there are better graphics since they aren't sequels, Such as Mega Man X or Chrono Trigger which are both the first in the series opening up new graphic options that sequel can necessarily provide.
Sound: Oh my where to start.... The sound effects of this game aren't exactly the best ever... Especially compared to today's games such as the Halo series or the Battlefield series. Or even the Blazblue series which is also a favorite of mine. But back on track. So the sound effects are still really good for it's time, But the music... As a musician myself I have an interesting taste in music, It's not your average kids taste either; Nobuo Uemastu is my favorite composer of all-time, And in my opinion this is him at his finest. I love this soundtrack, every last bit of it, I mean that. There isn't a song I hate from this game. A select few of them I can't help but to listen to on a regular basis while I'm alone. While usually keeping you upbeat the music may also become kinda sad while the game does as well; It matches up perfectly with the game play. I can go on for hours and hours about the music alone, But for the sake of my time and your willing-ness to read this as a reader, I'm going to move on now. My score...10. (What did you expect?)
Addictiveness: This game is really easy to play multiple times, There are things that make you want to go back and experience it all again or to do something a different way or in a different order than you did on your first play through. As for how addictive it is in the terms of "I can not put down this game!" Well, I pretty much spelled it out for you just now, This game is awesome and You'll want to play it from begging to end in one sitting if you can. (and trust me, You won't 100% in a day if you played for 24 hours.) My score...10.
Story: This game has an amazing story, You will become attached to the characters you play as and grow to hate your enemies, And that's before you even make it half way through the game. I'm not going to spoil anything if I can help it but trust me, Half way through the game you will want to hunt down a or a few certain individuals or individual... I'm trying really hard not to spoil anything and I'm wasting my time on those who will look at half the screen shots or watch the videos already so I'm going to put it this way; This games story is outstanding, There are so many things I could yet again spend hours explaining but due to mostly spoilers this time... I can't and won't. My score... 10.
Depth: This game has a lot of things to do even if you're not progressing down the main story of it there is still a lot you can do which will still benefit game-play and story at the same time, There are side-quests, Hidden characters, And dungeons you can clear out that will reap nice rewards if you can make it through them that is. I'm going to keep things short in this section of my review, But trust me, This game is amazing when it comes to depth. My score...10.
Difficulty: This game isn't necessarilyas tough as it is tedious to me anyway, On your first play through you may die here and there but there are save spots so you don't really lose to much. It does take a while though especially if you want to reach LVL. 99 without using cheats you're in for some effort put into this game. My score...8.
Overall: Time to wrap this up, Let me make this point first, This is my Overall not my combined rating on this game. This game has a lot of really awesome features that makes it what it is, I love it for that and don't have too much more to say on it overall having just picked it apart in a sense. My score... 9.8.
Well, That wraps this up up for now, I hope you enjoyed reading my review, Please rate it and tell me what you think. I put a good amount of effort into this review and I hope it shows. Enjoy your time on this planet. Nothing is immortal so you only have so long to enjoy your self here, Good bye and have a good day. ~Frodlex. |
