Well, the way I see it, the "main plot" is over once you get to the WoR. Kefka won and you lost. But there is still story, seen mostly in the personal storylines of your party members.

I think the lack of a plotline is intentional; after all, you're not out to stop the bad guy from succeeding with his plot (he already succeeded), you're out to rescue what's left of the world from despair. The goal is clear, you just need to muster the strength and will to accomplish it.

I'm not saying it's perfect or anything, but I think the disdain for it is unwarranted.

Trigger: An admirable attempt at creating an open ended game. Fails in open endedness, mostly bad characters, poor art direction, silent protagonist, time travel, bad translation, and a complete lack of end game content/reason to try to get gud. Succeeds in an decent story, fun battle system, well implemented graphics, and an overall short and sweet quest.

FFVI: A successful attempt at creating a game that invokes feeling of loss. Fails in pacing at times, a relic of a battle system, the first "I can be everything in battle" FF, bad translation, and general filler. Succeeds in not steering the game with a main character, good story, exploration, iconic moments, decent characters, fun end game, and Ultros.

I'd say it depends on what you want. JRPG fans win with both games, but I'd say FFVI wins for sheer vastness and depth.

It lost every bit of subtlety in translation. Missed lots of references to many things (difficult to do well anyway), missed many key points that would be revisited in Radical Dreamers and Cross. Made certain character's "voice" sound retarded. Shit, if you all played Trigger and Cross in Jap I think you guys might appreciate Cross more. But yeah, 0/10 is hyperbole. The translation is definitely lacking severely though. You can't expect much better from translations in that era though, especially for JRPGs so it's not a huge deal if you're used to it.

While Final Fantasy 6 is my favorite of the two games, Chrono Trigger was a better executed game overall. FF6 has a few little things that bug me about it, but CT felt very focused with no hickups from start to finish.

They're both about as good as each other with regard to music, characters and story.

But the battle system of CT is a bit better thought out, the dual and triple techs add some nice variety to it.

There are a few too many obvious ways to completely break the battle system in FF6, especially in the WoR. It as though they tried a bit too hard to give it complexity by throwing in a whole bunch of abilities and spells that aren't balanced as well as they could have been.

I mean FFVII isn't nearly as good as either FFVI and CT.

The game should have been about Shinra and Jenova, Sephiroth dragged that game down a ton.

OP here.

Chrono Trigger appears to be the winner. Both games are masterpieces, no doubt. I have noticed Chrono often wins the fans' choice for better RPG.

In the end, I think it's Chrono's tighter experience that gamers love. Final Fantasy VI is arguably the master of its style of traditional RPG, but for whatever the reason, players always remember and love Chrono Trigger.

Thanks for voting, everyone! And long live two of the best RPGs from an era of gaming that was truly magical.

So it's basically a poorly implemented event flag supposed to be set when you enter Thamasa, which apparently a decent amount of people managed to trigger. This isn't exactly cryptic, but shitty implementation.

>> No.1222879

>>1222852
>apparently a decent amount of people managed to trigger
Not exactly. Lots of people didn't trigger the square and never got Relm or Strago back in their party. The square you have to step on isn't obvious at all. It's one square in a town that's pretty big. Lots of people missed the square all together, and many claim they had to step on the square several times to trigger the events.

I agree that games like The Legend of Zelda are not cryptic, and many gamers complain about 'cryptic this' or 'cryptic that,' but even I thought what they did in Final Fantasy VI was a bit much. And since the game offers no clues on how to trigger the events, I would file this scenario under cryptic.

>> No.1222908

CT is pretty damn sweet, but it's a more basic, straightforward experience than FF6 with its simple story and relatively small scope, which is why more people are able to take it in easier and why it's more memorable and well-liked than CT.

FF6 is a grander experience overall, but gamers more on the casual side of the spectrum are able to take in CT's more elementary story and characters without much emotional investment. FF6 has a lot more to offer, but it's not in simple bite-sized portions like CT, which is why more gamers have flocked to CT.

I feel like Final Fantasy 6 was a victim of its time. Not enough cart space to do what they really wanted. There was a ton of story you could feel they wanted in the game but couldn't, especially in the WoR

CT I feel like they learned a little from their experience making FF6 and made a much more linear, but overall more fluid experience.

I really can't contribute unbiasedly in this argument, FF6 was the first RPG I ever played way back when it was called FF3 on the SNES. I will always come back to it. Though Chrono Trigger was second so both really are pretty huge staples of my childhood

Hey sorry if unrelated but i'm playing FF origins, in final fantasy 1 is it a good idea to give the monk weapons and armor or what?

i think it was more the fact that the playstation was on the horizon, they had to finish up FF6 pretty quick to get ready for the 3D revolution and develop FF7.

And then the playstation came out and they had all the space they could ask for... resulting in a huge number of bloated, drawn-out games.

Sometimes limitations are a good thing.

Chrono Trigger on the other hand has had me coming back countless times. Everything about it is amazing.

Trigger is pretty good at selling you old shit with a new paint job. I found it quite hard to enjoy because it's so generic when you look at what you're doing. The time travel mechanic is so poor that you might as well be just travelling to different continents. Time flow starts and stops with events and you can't ever go back. Revisiting and retrying something you failed at first is something that should be a strong theme in any time travel story, but this is barely touched upon. The canned battles are drab and boring, devoid of any surprise and while it may look better than other menu-based systems, it's practically the same shit we've been doing since FF 1.

I'm currently on my first playthroughof VI, and yeah. They really should have structured WoR into an actual narrative instead of making it into a sandbox of required/pretty much required sidequests and the final boss.

This is also just a small criticism, but I think that the game should have included more parts of the game where the group gets separated and you're forced to use a specific party instead of the various "split the group up" parts which was basically just me making one good party to fight the boss and the shitty party that had trouble with random encounters because they have bad gear, magic, and are lower leveled.

I never got the hype for CT. I understand that the game is a technical wonder for its time and things like multiple endings were kind of innovative but at the time I played it, those things were common so I suppose I never got to fully appreciate it. The characters were likable and the soundtrack was amazing but that was really it. The overall plot was a little disappointing to me, even with the time travel aspect. The only part of the game that I really enjoyed and would rank it in my top 5 JRPG locations would be Zeal.

>> No.1235460

For FFVI, it's my first FF but I don't think I really have a bias towards it. I like the fact that there's so many characters, the whole magitech and steampunk atmosphere, the contrasts between Terra, Kefka and Celes. Each character (the ones that matter. The ones for obvious padding which people like to use as an argument against the cast's character development don't count) grows and have their own side story in some way too. And I quite liked the WoR, it's sidequest and character development focused instead of plot where everyone gains a new resolve to fight Kefka and to showcase everyone's reason for living after the world's been destroyed. Then there's the music, the many memorable moments like the opera scene, the world being destroyed, memorable characters like the octopus guy, the crazy guy who turned out to be Gau's father, etc.

The only cons to me are Terra's lame story, the broken magic system which makes each unique skill useless and Kefka "just dying"

FFVI a shit. FFV is the best SNES Final Fantasy, believing otherwise makes you a mongoloid.
