SNES Final Fantasy VI - Intro

Now here's my idea of a really good RPG. Notice it does not need CG, FMV CD audio or such things which seem to be standard nowadays. Final Fantasy VI (3 in the USA) was the final chapter on the Super Nintendo, and has yet to be beat up to now in the RPG genre, on any system. Was it the graphics? Was it the amazing and memorable OST? Maybe the plot? Not many games have the end of the world halfway into the game, even Final Fantasy VII had the near apocalypse in the end, but on this one, the world really ends. And as far as I remember, the only RPG that had your characters sing in a opera. It was sad that this never came out in Europe (until much later, on PSX) and I'm happy to see it being release after all these years on Game Boy Advance, truly the perfect game for a perfect portable system. And remember: "Gotta wait for Shadow!"

Note: This is the Japanese version of the game, translated by RPGOne, it is much more faithful then the official US translation, making this for me, the definitive version of the game.

This isn't the original text...I bought this game when it first came out and the font and translation are different.

But in any form, it's awesome! Good post!

@grumblekin Read the "Note" at the bottom of the video description. =)

How can you make a scene about three robots doing nothing more than just crossing the snowy fields for actually about 2 minutes so epic? In spite of the fact that first time I saw this intro (19-yrs-old) was but a few months ago I immediately thought it was going to be prelude to a very immerse experience. I sometimes play the new games, it always ends with finishing them once and thinking 'meh, t'was nice', then again I go playing old RPGs like this so I can lick some... 'higher' piece of art.

I played this back in 1994 as a kid. And till now after playing the rest of the series games, even compared to hits like Chrono Trigger and so forth... Final Fantasy VI is still the best RPG I ever played. The only one where every character has a strong character development, that melds seamlessly into the plot... one that definitely is worth playing for that one experience.

I heard somebody say the other day that the SNES had shitty graphics... I'm not sure where they got that. All I see is great, vibrant colors, crisp sprites, and fluid movement. I just don't get it. Breaks my heart to see all these games that captured my imagination just get pooped on. Just because it's not polygonal doesn't mean that the graphics are of a lower caliber. This looks better than PS1 basketball games. That's for damn sure lol.

I'm still amazed how much they did with so little.

The soundtrack on 3:52 is amazing.
