Your damn name is Tidus, durdurdur.

Your logic is so flawed and full of fallacies it is criminal. Of course the graphics are not going to be as good as the games, as TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES. NEWSFLASH THERE.

The awkward translations have always been a part of the charm of JRPGS, imo. Back when FF6 was originally made (when it was FFIII), swears were generally not allowed in video games, and if you think that is kiddy, get off the forums, because i can't say son of a ***** here either.

Kiddy? The end of the world is ever kiddy? Not the *impending* end of the world, the end of the world in FF6 is the real deal.

FF8 is amazing. I've never played 6, though so I really don't have a say in it. I'm sure Square will give me a remake on the DS in about 2 years though.

the storyline isnt nearly as good in FF6 as FF7, FF9 and FF10

the dialogue is cheesy, and the story and characters jsut have so little depth to them'

like kefka for example doesnt even get any depth until the final battle where he reveals everything is meaningless and his motivations

then you got a cast of like 14 characters and only 3 or 4 get good storylines like celes, locke, and terra

Same here. Granted, the only "canon" FF game I've played after it is FFXII, but I'd play the others if I could.

Discuss what? That the graphics of an older game is bit paler than another game's graphics with newer technology behind it. Perhaps it the fact that its an older game had some bit of cheesy talk in it compared to sheer enjoyment behind it, the video game market was not has precise with script.

Wow..you play a game thats over 10 years old and complain about its graphics.

Is this a serious thread or a joke thread? If its not the latter, you need to commit account suicide along with wok7 and never return.

I disagree about graphics, and FF6 about being kiddy.

Basically I disagree all about FF6 description there, but I do agree FF6 is not better than FF7

FF6 has to be most overrated Final Fantasy game of all time.

When FFVI has a legion of Fanboys, tons of spinoffs, demands of a FFVII sequel/remake, and considered greatest game of all time then it will be overrated.

Well that game was awesome. I thought the story was imaginative (at least the first part), and the characters were unique. Kefka was also very funny. In terms of sheer story and gameplay, i'd say it's still up there (though the battles were a bit slow after a while).

You obviously don't understand the basic rule of comparing games across generations.

You compare them by how they were when they came out, not how they are now.

6 is generally the favorite of people who prefer oldschool games and others who are just threatened by change. It was good, probably the best of the 2D FF's, but by no means the best of the series. Regardless of my or any one person's opinion, the winner is 7 for obvious reasons. Personally I think a big part of the reason is that all of the characters and the story had a cool factor that no other FF has been able to reproduce.

No it's not kiddy, its just you because of the 2D graphics. Although I do agree I find FF7,8 and 10 much better than other (2D FF) the 2D ones were stunning also. And they were far from kiddy. FF6 had a excellent scenario.

*thinks about post commen comes to a relavent under stading and slaps you again once realizing that your ignorrant*

1. snes game....system was for kids= no cursing.

2.6 had way better charaters=ff7 had ok character>ff 10 had card borad cut outs with personality.

3.6 had beast villian and story.......better than 7's mama boy and 10's moron that died twice before the game ended.

4. deep female main chaarter> crasy messed up tough guy wannabe> metro sexual frat boy with no fashion sense.

Your assuming he owned the game from the day it came out first off. Then your assuming he played it EVERY day since then.

Nice trying to bring mathematics into this but it fails. Thats almost as bad as the "xbox live only cost $.14 a day :("

FF6 was the best one in the series (IMO), FF7 was second best (once again, IMO), and if I remember correctly FF8 was just a bunch of emo bs. I have never played an FF after playing the beginning of FF8.

These arguments come up a a lot, but the fact of the matter is, people say FF7 is so milked or overrated, but hell, people say that about just about everything that becomes really popular, News Flash: If it is that popular, there is usually a reason to it, some people even go as far as to say FF7 is the worst in the series to try to act cool and against the mainstream, but FF7 is still huge in places like Japan, being titled the 2nd best game of all time in Famitsu magazine's top 100 games, you can't use the excuse "oh it was their first FF!" it was extremly popular everywhere, and not for the lame fanboy reasons haters give.

FF6 and FF7 were both great. I wouldn't want to choose, but if I had to, I'd rate 6 just a little better. It's a moot point anyway, because the best FF was Tactics.

FFX is overrated. It has a really good story, but it was a bit too linear and the gameplay for the most part didn't really do anything new. FFXII was better IMO.

FFVI is one of the best RPGs ever made. Personally, I prefer VIIonly because Sephiroth is just that awesome but there is no denying that VI is widely regarded by many to have the best music and story in RPG history.

This coming from someone who has the name of the whiniest FF character ever created in their username. :roll:

Anyway, maybe it's hard for you to understand, but FF6 is an older game so it's OBVIOUS that its graphics aren't as good. I personally liked FF6 more than FFX, FFVII, and FFVIII, just because the villain was not a girly man, there was no main character and all the characters shared an equal role(roughly), and the villain actualy succeeded. How is the end of the world kiddy again? Not sure what you're talking about there. Kefka poisons a river to kill an entire kingdom, men, women, and children. How is that kiddy? Or maybe you just don't like it because it was a Nintendo FF, and as we all know, Nintendo games automatically equal kiddy. :P

Wow how did you not enjoy FF6?

Going from my first FF...FFX to FF7>8>9 then FF1>4>5>6>3 i enjoyed all of them,not because of the graphics but because of the story,characters,music and the battle systems,FF is about so much more than graphics,to say FF6 isn't as good as FF7 and onwards just because of it's technical limitations is BS.

2D holds a charm of it's own which 3d will never be able to compete with,FF6 is the 3rd best FF imo,my all time fav being FFX,followed by FF8.

ive forgotten which one is six. is that the one where the intro involves some characters in powerful mech suits? if its the one i think it is then, yea that was a pretty good game.

still FF7 was my fav (probably because it was the first one i played). i also like FF3 (though dam does it need alot of grinding and the lack of direction is bad). its just a shame the series is so hit and miss imho. i rate the ones ove played as follows:

3 good

7 classic

6 very good....if its the one i think it is :S.

8 rubbish

10 rubish

10-2 very rubbish

12 pretty good.

i must get my mits on FF9 at some stage....i hear good things about it. hopefully some of the older FF games will also come to the VC.
