Also a world worth giving a shit about

ff6's writing is a bit all over the place. Honestly after beating it I wondered what the fuck the point was of most of the game. 6 is absolutely the choice for hipsters, also didn't care for the unfunny quips.

Not sure why super nintendo fans insisted it was better than 7, it's definitely one of the weaker installments. In retrospect it was probably just console warring. There's a shit ton of anti-7 pro-6 image macros they made.

It was a tremendous leap over the previous games in the series. If FFVII had the same effort put into it as FFVI then we'd have had 10 towns that looked like Kalm. I think it's crazy people bend over backwards to defend the shit-tier derivative worldbuilding of the NES and SNES games, their trivial, boring gameplay systems and their barebones plot and characterization. If I wanted to play a retro tile-based RPG I'd play a Dragon Quest or Ultima, FFVII was the first interesting FF game because it doubled down on what the franchise does best: spectacle. It was the first one that took me to another world instead of to a dozen permutations of the "town" tileset.

Uh-huh. What's your favorite configuration of the "town" tileset in FFVI?
