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

The soundtrack on 3:52 is amazing.

Is the fan translation hard to find or can I just google it?

I've never ever played a video game as good as Final Fantasy 3.

The mid-90s truly were the golden age of video games. The number of top-notch games that came out during this period is truly outstanding.
