Similar to FF4 how Cecil and Golbez were sons of Kluya a moon man, Tina is the son of someone from the primal world and is therefore able to wield powerful magic. The story has a lot of characters but focuses on Tina Branford (or as all the NA versions rename her to Terra) who is the daughter of a human and an esper – or as we know from FFXIV – a primal.
Anyway on to the review! (and also spoiler warning) The steam version may look cleaner and smoother but with crashing, and poorly remade sprites it’s not a surprise Square is remaking their original series. Remake on the left and original on the rightĪnyway regardless, I played on the GBA version as that appeared to be the most fan-patched edition fixing both sounds, graphics and translations. I do like the newer character plates because I’m just not a fan of Amano’s artwork. I get they were trying to “redraw” the sprite to make it more modernized but it just looks terrible like all the details are lost! Also kinda defeats the purpose of a “sprite”. Additionally, the biggest reason I used an emulator is because like with FF4 and a FF13-2, the Steam reviews had many complaints about not only the game crashing a lot, but also they had completely redrawn the sprites to look really weird. They recently announced remasters of their pixel series FF1-6 so maybe they will add that as an option in those games. I realized that Square Enix also realizes nobody wants to grind through this old shit.
After seeing how all the newer FF ports basically give you “legit” cheat modes like Turbon, 9999atk etc. Thanks to this it only took me a few days to get through the story, but I imagine that if you were playing this legit you’d need to do a lot of grinding, leveling up and and making sure you had all the best equipment (which fortunately you can mostly buy in shops through out the game.) I play these RPGs like I play visual novels – I just wanna see the story, and I couldn’t care less about a 20+ year old battle system. Fortunately as many have praised it, the story was pretty good, but as usual, we are faced with an archaic battle system that only emulation could get me through.ĭisclaimer: I used cheat codes to give myself 9999 HP, max attack (so most of my hits did 7k-9k) and turned off random encounters to speed up the game. So on my apparent quest to play every Final Fantasy game, after ragequitting FF3, I decided to try FF6 because I heard great things about the story.
