There is stuff about the game is dated, it took me a long time to get used to all the characters' different abilities and different builds i don't know if i could have finished it without a walkthrough BUT after learning how it all worked and keeping track of places to go with the help of a guide the game got really fun!
What a special game... one thing that I couldn't stop thinking about was that little silence that happens after every special cutscene, something about it adds to them, it was like the characters were contemplating what had just happened before leaving the scene... It's something that probably happens because of the game's age, but (for me) it added feeling to it, I also loved how many times during the story a scene could only happen after the characters went to rest in an inn or somewhere like that, and then, if specific characters were in your party, you would get a scene with them. I really liked that, it's nice to see the characters finding time to talk to each other about something that is happening to them and the world... not to make this paragraph longer, but that same thing applies to the scenes that happen inside of dreams, the way FFVI used dreams to show a character backstory or to show something that a character has been thinking about and was tormenting them was really good, this game had really some good characters (not edgar.), I really enjoyed seeing their story unfold...
Terra and Celes are one of my favorite FF characters now, they're both so special, and so many things in the story walk around them. It was crazy to see little references or other points of the story and characters from VI being also used in other final fantasy games I have played (VII and XV), Terra really was the blueprint.
This review is getting quite long, so to finish it I also want to comment about how cool that final dungeon and final boss were! The dungeon being a preparation for what was about to come was really interesting, making the player have to choose three different parties to cooperate and go through the dungeon, and at the same time, that makes you end up using characters that you didn't use before and also learn how to use them in your team better to make going through the dungeon easier... It was really cool, even though it made me nervous to think if the party with the characters I didn't use that much would survive the dungeon or not. That final boss was both so cool and so scary, each one of the different phases and then the music... What a cool boss fight. The credits cutscene was both very cute and fun, I will be thinking about this game and it's final scene for a while :-) Terra the worlddd- the opera scene song/celes theme still gets stuck in my head everytime im washing the dishes
