The first masterpiece JRPG (Final Fantasy VI Retrospective)
People who weren’t around back in the day often ask what makes Final Fantasy VI (also known as FF6 and sometimes FF3 US) so good. But the game’s true value cannot be measured in how well the gameplay, story, and music have held up, but rather, how groundbreaking the whole package was in 1994.
In this video, I’ll show you what Final Fantasy VI was like, how it built upon and changed the formula from the previous games, and how it offered more freedom than ever before, but sometimes struggled to balance it against a linear narrative.
This is a love letter to Final Fantasy VI - the first ever masterpiece JRPG.

The last great adventure (Final Fantasy V Retrospective)

Final Fantasy 5 (aka FFV or FF5) was a landmark title, but today, it’s remembered mostly as a step in the wrong direction. But I would argue that it wasn’t.

    Ff2 pixel remaster is surprisingly not bad. The game is very grinding and I can see how that may be painful to get through. However, the boosters are your best friend. Similar to ff8 you can easily break the game by maxing out every stat.

    Recently been playing it on my psp, fantastic game i like the simplicity of the first trilogy before becoming final fantasy, for technnicality in context to avoid confusions, for modern fans old Final fantasy is not final fantasy for them and that is valid point but it is worth playing them, its simplistic and not much lore story revolved about whats happening, difficult dungeons, hidden path and secret chests, classic exploration and classic investigative NPC dialogs and perhaps rarely a very simplistic side quests. It is why is loved by many

    I liked ff7 for the materia mechanic. I played it through 10 years ago and dont remember many aspects of the story, the characters I found mostly generic qnd put them on par with ff5 or ff8s characters, even ff2. The music had some great tracks, but I found one winged angel (although ambitious) very overrated. After 2 minutes of hearing it I could have been perfectly happy never hearing it again. I think there were some sephiroth mini battles earlier in the game that used another score I thought was 100x better but I dont remember the name of it. My first play through of the game lasted only 10 hours and was still stuck in midgar hell so I quit out of boredom, and finally gave it a second chance 10 years ago. I think FF6 should have gotten the remake. Overall I thought it was a good game but liked the stories of FF4, ff4 after years, ff6, ff9 and maybe ff10 much better

    I didn't play all the way through the game until the pixel remaster came out, but once I did, it became my all-time favorite. It has everything I want from a final fantasy game: full job system, memorable characters, powerful emotional moments (for EVERY character, not just THAT moment), and also yes, THAT moment.

    Super late but hey, how dual wielding works in the NES version: Only your main hand weapon is considered for the attack, the offhand weapon only matters for evasion bonuses (really important for defender and main gauche on off hand) and getting weapon exp. Getting double weapon exp might be worth forgoing a shield for grinding sometimes, specially since Leon can get decent evasion% from the getgo if he equips the defender on his right hand (since his base shield rank sucks). Off hand main gauche is great for red mage builds since you get evasion and not a big hit on magic accuracy.
