What if we take SoM and MST3K and combine them into one soulless incomplete game?

Hated it when it first came out because I was expected a better SoM. But just about everything in SoE is inferior. The music, the weapon leveling, the magic/alchemy... I liked it a little more when I replayed it a few years ago. This was definitely over hyped and I fell for the marketing frenzy that piped out this steaming pile of shit.

>no mention of Priscilla

You can't edge four hours at a time while giving a little girl mouth to mouth? Why live.

FF6 does a good job of portraying how much death and suffering is involved in war.

The world of ruin aptly captures hopelessness and futility. Everyone gives up fighting. Locke convinces himself he can conquer death and loss of loved ones. Cyan perpetrates an illusion for someone else who has suffered the loss of a loved one. Strago joins a cult to as an opiate to escape pain and suffering. Terra runs an orphanage to cope with feeling powerless and insignificant due to failing to stop Kefka and the large scale destruction of the world. Gau avoids civilization altogether to avoid rejection and abandonment. Setzer buries the past in an attempt to sever attachment. Relm allows her works of art to consume her as a way of avoiding despair. Edgar wants to return to his home as a way to run away from his problems. Sabin aimlessly searches for meaning and purpose- also running away from his problems. Mog is too afraid to leave his cave/home. And lastly, Shadow is of course the Jungian shadow. He's a conflict of intentions, he's a despised figure, his dreams shed light on his state of mind- and out of Shadow creativity (Relm) is born. Shadow also has a martyr complex- he wants to die for a good cause to atone for past actions.

All in all, I think FF6 does a good job of capturing the multitude of ways people deal with death, suffering, and failure.

FF has an addiction to inserting "aliens" into their stories. Don't have anything going on after disk 1? How bout some aliens. Don't have anything going on after the first continent? Better sprinkle in some aliens. No other city is as interesting as the first? Better drop in aliens for good measure.

Biggest challenge is getting that stupid fucking turtle to be useful at any point in the game.

Feed him 1hp enemies. Waste items pumping his stats.

Still fucking rotten end game.

You must be lost.
