If people would just ditch calling this anything but FFVI, then we'd have no problems. We've known the proper title for this for years, it's only known as FFVI now.
Stop holding onto stupid marketing choices of the past that are no longer relevant. We have had every FF now. Sheesh. Tired of that crap. It's Final Fantasy VI. Period.
People troll and bash these really have NO idea, you dont know everything or anything.
Kendama*one who bash troll wipe clean the FF forums against trollers and mid game fans people who knows only the shiny graphics of a game and lame people who know only the FF lames starts from 9 onwards which DONT have any FF foundation anymore.
Hard to find true friends and people..But i want to make a community where every true gamers can share every memories...like these best games ever made.
@FFfreakepic03 Well said! There are small pieces of the original masterpieces woven into the new Final Fantasy games, but nothing that is truly as memorable as the first seven games.
Best game series ever made and will ever made...nostalgia,memories, everything.
And now? people say graphics and everything people who knows gaming that is just the way it is with fun or excitment?people who say with big mouth born on 2000s. They have NO idea what these are. How it changed many true RPG gamers back 90s where people every true insights. The first time of playing these games ..so epic so perfect no other games now can. Those games ...
Sorry to be "that guy," but I just wanted to point out in the description you refer to the game as FFIII in Europe, but it only came out there as FFVI (since the SNES version wasn't released there).
@MezaseMaster . actually it was FF3 only cause 2,3,4,5, werent licensed in Europe and america at the time. just like FF2 is actually FF4. you ever notice the jump from FF3 to FF7 0.o
@sandune02 No I understand that, but I was pointing out that jump didn't happen in Europe, because they didn't get the Super Nintendo Final Fantasy games.
@MezaseMaster FFVI was never released in the EU as FFIII, the first final fantasy released in Europe was FFVII we got FFVI in 2000/2001 as a standalone PS1 game released as Final Fantasy VI
@cloudlionheart Oh, I didn't know it was standalone, I thought it was released along with Anthology like here, my bad. I knew the rest of that though.
I'll never forget the first time I saw this. I was literally moved to tears. I have to say, too, I like the lyrics from FFIII US so much more than any of the other versions. Maybe it's all nostalgia, but something about, "I'm the darkness, you're the stars" and "so gently, you touched my heart" really move me!
Spoilers
The part where Celes jumps from the cliff (if Cid dies) is extremely powerful too-you can almost feel her sense of desperation. Then a glimmer of hope returns with the airship!
I think for me it's less tragic for the scene and more for the nostalgia of my youth, SNES and FF6 were parts of my past, Honestly the SNES is still better than any other system I've played the library of games....
I myself am 18 years old and I consider this as one of the scenes that prove the most how much more epic, intense and beautiful old games are. I have played Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Kings Quest, all the great classics, and I am overwhelmed by their storytelling, which new games lack.
@MaddinW1993 Agreed, those all had to rely heavily on story telling. This game, FF6, has epic story, gameplay, presentation, and music. The graphics were amazing for the time period and I personally prefer that period FF's to today.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
how do people cry at this? It honestly makes me laugh how she sounds like a quiet foghorn. Not to mention theres nothing to get sad at...its a Opera...this is just based off a story...not like the girl just lost her love...sure its happened...but its a pretty damn cliched story! You see a heart tugging screen...I see pointless filler. Then again the song is great, and if they redid it with a actual voice instead of melodic moaning..well maybe Id get where the emotion is.
@derschlauepeter I don't see how that effects anything. I wasn't born during the holocaust but I'm still sad about it. There are some songs that do make me sad but...this one just doesn't, sorry.
@NemesisTheZombieKing Oh. Sorry for coming off a bit harsh there, I've met so many teens on the Internet that dislike older video games on principle because they're old, I just threw you into that category.
You might want to give FF6 a try though, it's a great game.
@derschlauepeter that's not it at all! I love most older games...I just don't see how this is sad, same thing for the aeris death thing and that game isn't that old.
haha quiet foghorn! I love this scene very much, but you make me laugh. Thank you.
However, you can think this way: Celes, pure as snow, she doesn't know her emotion well.
How can she perform well in the opera? Remember, Locke saved her, and before she stepped on the platform, Locke came to ease her nervousness. What do you think these acts suggests?
How can a girl who doesn't know love perform a love scene well?
It's because she turns her emotion toward Locke to it
@tharthar3 I'm not sure whether your trying to insult me or not....but again it doesn't effect me emotionally..thats all Im saying. I never said it was a bad cutscene...but in the end its just a cutscene...
@tharthar3: never argue or reason with an idiot - he will bring you down to his level and win out by experience. It's sort of like when you show "Magic Flute" to a pig and the pig will simply oink, take a shit, then eat the pile of shit like nothing happened.
@NemesisTheZombieKing try the game out, it's pretty fun. if you don't believe this scene is sad than thats fine, everyone has their own opinions. i dont get why people vote negative when you are giving your honest view. but anyways try the game its def. worth it
@NemesisTheZombieKing We cry because back in 1994, this was the most stunning and emotive scene in video game history. No other game did what FFVI (or III) did in that time... It's mind blowing.
@NemesisTheZombieKing In addition to everything everyone else has said I thought I should say the point of this scene isn't filler, it's called dramatic imagery. The emotions and stories of the characters parallel the story of the opera. It also foreshadows events to come in the story that haven't even happened yet. In addition the music is extremely powerful and uses many of the motif's heard in Celes' own theme, again another piece of musical symbolism to relate it to the story.
@NemesisTheZombieKing Look up The Black Mages: Darkness and Starlight. There's a 15 minute version of this exact scene with 3 very respectable opera singers playing the 2 male leads and the female lead. There's also a theatrical version of this that occurred on stage at one of the concerts in Japan. Look it up on YouTube.
@NemesisTheZombieKing honestly its probably a combination of things, the first being that the novelty of a 'voice' singing out of the SNES was novel and new, but if you listen to the music on a stereo insted of TV speakers, its music sounds HUGE.
But probably the bigger factor behind the emotional response is people who've played the game -know- this theme is reprised later when Celes throws herself off a cliff in desperate loneliness. It makes an impact.
ugh.... I hate it when people are bashing everything about FF7.
First of all, the reason why it sounded like Aerith's theme is because it Aerith theme came from this song. If you look at the lyrics, it sounded like it's about Aerith and Zack, even the story itself. Aerith is waiting for Zack to come back while Zack's trying to save Cloud. Anyway, FF6's story sounds very interesting!
God dammit i was Born a little to late to even Experience this as a kid. (1992 would been around 4) Thank god it's in PSN in Japan soon so i hope for the Europen Realse :)
Just got FF anthology and played 6 first. it's great so far but I still think 9 was far better and Garnet singing song of memories was way more touching.
Childhood memories flooding back into my head after this! FF3 is the best in the series, kids nowadays missed out on many classical games, and this is one of them. I like this FF more because why? the bad guy wins, in which he destroys the world. now, the bad guy is always stopped. plus Shadow and Cyan. Sabin and his awesome fighting skills. Mog! that big Yeti, Gogo and Setzer! Cmon! Fav characters. even though i was only 6, i remember this epic game that is underated by today's society of kids.
It's truly a shame that games like this are hardly ever seen these days anymore (particularly RPG's). Now all we have these days are those shitty (not to mention overrated) First Person Shooters. The First Person Shooter Genre can go crawl up in a hole and die. RPG's have more emotional storytelling, memorable characters, awesome music, gameplay variety, innovation, and countless memorable experiences you won't soon forget. These kinds of games should be brought back to the modern era!!!
Well, I wouldn't blame FPS's. First Person Shooters are just a different type of game all together-- they are competitive games rather than story-based. Its weird how they're lumped in with RPG's as "games". FPS's are to RPG's like Monday Night Football is to Casa Blanca. Sure they may both use the TV screen, but they're not similar. So I don't have a problem with FPS's. They're not the reason RPGs suck now days.
This is one of those experiences you never forget. I love when the score comes in at 2:45 incredible. To put the beauty of this game into words does it no justice.
Wow, i just got a SNES. And lemme tell you, even though I grew up with PS1 , this console is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The absolute Golden age of games.
Even if they call it Final Fantasy 3, please call it Final Fantasy VI, some ppl were dumb enough to release a game with such name, when this one is the 6th in row >.>
Now imagine if you would, FF6 remade with better graphics and sound quality, but with the EXACT SAME storyline, characters, etc. Square would make a killing off of it, and I would probably throw up from how awesome it would be.
And just for the sake of trolling, Aerith's death scene in FF7 can suck it compared to the emotion of the opera/suicide scenes in FF6.
@sharkmaster99 Yes a remake would be awesome, but I've also always imagined FF6 as a movie, can you imagine magitek armor units blowing Narshe apart and airship battles? But no cgi only movie, it would have to be live action, with mechanical magitek etc and they'd need to find quite the actor for the role of Kefka.
@PMeursault: I couldn't agree more on a live action interpretation. Sadly, the only actor who would be able to wield the might of Kefka has passed on: Heath Ledger.
@sharkmaster99 i would buy a ps3 (cuz thats what i imagine it would probably be on) just to buy the remade version of FF6 and watch this scene. well of course i'd play the other parts of this epic game but still you know what i mean
@sharkmaster99 FFVI and FFVII are my favorites in the series, but Aerith's death really didn't have much emotion. I felt Zacks death was a more "WTF" moment, because I don't think anyone was really expecting it, and considering it was hidden.
The Suicide scene I think is the most emotionally charged scene in the series.
For years, people who love genres like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, and Suikoden will buy whatever comes out that has the logo on it without ever renting or previewing them first based off of how it looks. Many will support a series even if it's makers are creating terrible games and since video game developers are businesses, like any other, they go for what is profitable. As long as players buy them, developers will think its okay to make crappy games.
You as the consumer have to set the standard if you want a good game with excellent stories. Continue supporting half-ass work and you'll get a half-ass game. If you want to see games like FFIV and FFVI again, then you've got to quit buying every Final Fantasy that comes out regardless of its quality. I just SAW FFXIII and knew it was gonna be bad and sure enough, its one of the worst. Yet it still profited and people will still defend it up and down.
@Str8Murder It kinda all went downhill after 6/7 in my opinion. Both great games that I wasted weeks of my life playing (With great joy, mind you). 10 was the last one I could even stand playing. I skipped 11, tried 12, got to like the floating city or whatever it was, then said fuck it. I dont think I could defend the latest games even if I wanted to.
@sharkmaster99 oh God yes. Rachel's death was far more tragic than Aerith's. Locke had been spending the entire game trying to make it right, only to fail in the end....while Aerith's was rather random, and I never could put much emotional stock into her to begin with.
@autosaver The suicide attempt itself means very little. It is the grief and trauma that leads up to it, and the hope that the little bird brings that make it such a powerfully emotional scene.
Well, since FF6 was originally going to be remade for DS but wasn't due to the handheld being weak... I'm sure it'll arrive on the 3DS. I'd pick it up Day one if it does (It'd probably be the best experience too!)
@sharkmaster99 I know your comment was 8 months ago, but I do not remember any Suicide scenes in this game bro, and I just played FFVI about a month ago, the only people I remember dying were Leo, Gestahl, and Cid, which NONE were suicidal.
@pharphaine Celes attempted suicide, but did not die from the leap/fall. It's just easier to type "suicide" rather than "attempted suicide". Of course, you might have fed Cid all the good fish on the island, which would save him and completely skip the scene entirely. I on the other hand fed him bad fish my first playthrough, which ended up killing him ( /cry ), leading to said scene.
@sharkmaster99 Oh yeah, now I remember, I guess I just not really remembered that much since, this is just me, it didn't really make that much of an impact on me. Come to think of it, I don't think any death scenes from any game gets me emotional...
@sharkmaster99 Aeriths death scene is only famous because FF7 was famous and no one was expecting her death. but yeah a remake of this would make them waayyyyyy more and be wayyyyyyy better than the trash they are throwing out now. i admit that FF13 did redeem them a little because the story was awesome. but the gameplay made it suck bad. final fantasy is a dying series because they are running out of ideas. if only someone brilliant could take charge of the series
This does kind of remind me of Aerith's theme, now that it is mentioned. The story in the lyrics does kind of apply to what happenned between Aerith and Zack.
Maybe I'm delving too deep, but it's eerie yet touching how the lyrics "Come what may/I won't age a day/I'll wait for you always" seem to echo the plight of Odin and the queen in the hidden ruins found later in the game.
I just posted this video to facebook with the message "Anyone who doesn't like this song can get off my friend list!" Anyone who leaves wont be missed. If they dont like this joint, they ain't got a soul anyway.
@Zeithri I'd say that Cecil becoming a Paladin or the rising of the Lunar Whale would be a little stronger than Rydia coming back. Not that I have anything against Rydia. :)
ff4 was my first and i like it the most but ff6 has the best story this scene proves that . ff 7 , ff8 etc are much newer and because of that have better gameplay but 4 and 6 are the best
God, i hope they will some day release FF 6 on 3DS online store.

@DrumTech17 No, Celes is very pretty. My favorite FF6 character without a doubt.

Easily the best FF ever, and second best RPG ever (I'm sorry, but the crown goes to Chrono Trigger, VI is in exceedingly close second though).

Now imagine if you would, FF6 remade with better graphics and sound quality, but with the EXACT SAME storyline, characters, etc. Square would make a killing off of it, and I would probably throw up from how awesome it would be.
And just for the sake of trolling, Aerith's death scene in FF7 can suck it compared to the emotion of the opera/suicide scenes in FF6.

@sharkmaster99 I think so, for some reason I was sadder when Cid died and Celes tried to kill herself
samtheman264 1 year ago
@sharkmaster99 Yes a remake would be awesome, but I've also always imagined FF6 as a movie, can you imagine magitek armor units blowing Narshe apart and airship battles? But no cgi only movie, it would have to be live action, with mechanical magitek etc and they'd need to find quite the actor for the role of Kefka.
PMeursault 1 year ago
@PMeursault: I couldn't agree more on a live action interpretation. Sadly, the only actor who would be able to wield the might of Kefka has passed on: Heath Ledger.

sharkmaster99 11 months ago
@sharkmaster99 FFVI and FFVII are my favorites in the series, but Aerith's death really didn't have much emotion. I felt Zacks death was a more "WTF" moment, because I don't think anyone was really expecting it, and considering it was hidden.
The Suicide scene I think is the most emotionally charged scene in the series.

For years, people who love genres like Final Fantasy, Star Ocean, and Suikoden will buy whatever comes out that has the logo on it without ever renting or previewing them first based off of how it looks. Many will support a series even if it's makers are creating terrible games and since video game developers are businesses, like any other, they go for what is profitable. As long as players buy them, developers will think its okay to make crappy games.
Str8Murder 11 months ago
You as the consumer have to set the standard if you want a good game with excellent stories. Continue supporting half-ass work and you'll get a half-ass game. If you want to see games like FFIV and FFVI again, then you've got to quit buying every Final Fantasy that comes out regardless of its quality. I just SAW FFXIII and knew it was gonna be bad and sure enough, its one of the worst. Yet it still profited and people will still defend it up and down.

@Str8Murder It kinda all went downhill after 6/7 in my opinion. Both great games that I wasted weeks of my life playing (With great joy, mind you). 10 was the last one I could even stand playing. I skipped 11, tried 12, got to like the floating city or whatever it was, then said fuck it. I dont think I could defend the latest games even if I wanted to.
sharkmaster99 10 months ago
@sharkmaster99 oh God yes. Rachel's death was far more tragic than Aerith's. Locke had been spending the entire game trying to make it right, only to fail in the end....while Aerith's was rather random, and I never could put much emotional stock into her to begin with.

To be fair, she didn't die with the suicide. So... yeah

@autosaver The suicide attempt itself means very little. It is the grief and trauma that leads up to it, and the hope that the little bird brings that make it such a powerfully emotional scene.

Well, since FF6 was originally going to be remade for DS but wasn't due to the handheld being weak... I'm sure it'll arrive on the 3DS. I'd pick it up Day one if it does (It'd probably be the best experience too!)
autosaver 9 months ago
@sharkmaster99 I know your comment was 8 months ago, but I do not remember any Suicide scenes in this game bro, and I just played FFVI about a month ago, the only people I remember dying were Leo, Gestahl, and Cid, which NONE were suicidal.
pharphaine 9 months ago
@pharphaine - Youtube for "Celes suicide" and you should find it.
Zeithri 9 months ago
@pharphaine Celes attempted suicide, but did not die from the leap/fall. It's just easier to type "suicide" rather than "attempted suicide". Of course, you might have fed Cid all the good fish on the island, which would save him and completely skip the scene entirely. I on the other hand fed him bad fish my first playthrough, which ended up killing him ( /cry ), leading to said scene.
sharkmaster99 9 months ago
@sharkmaster99 Oh yeah, now I remember, I guess I just not really remembered that much since, this is just me, it didn't really make that much of an impact on me. Come to think of it, I don't think any death scenes from any game gets me emotional...

@sharkmaster99 Aeriths death scene is only famous because FF7 was famous and no one was expecting her death. but yeah a remake of this would make them waayyyyyy more and be wayyyyyyy better than the trash they are throwing out now. i admit that FF13 did redeem them a little because the story was awesome. but the gameplay made it suck bad. final fantasy is a dying series because they are running out of ideas. if only someone brilliant could take charge of the series

Maybe I'm delving too deep, but it's eerie yet touching how the lyrics "Come what may/I won't age a day/I'll wait for you always" seem to echo the plight of Odin and the queen in the hidden ruins found later in the game.
