The only complaint I have about these unique abilities is that they are poorly balanced certain characters have significantly more powerful skills than others. For example, Sabin the Monk can use special Blitz attacks by performing Street Fighter-esque button combinations, while Celes the Rune Knight can absorb any magic attack with her Runic. Although each character can learn magic by equipping a Magicite crystal, their custom abilities mean that every character isn't a functional clone of another. One of the most interesting aspects of Final Fantasy VI is that each character has a unique set of abilities.
There are actually a number of dungeons that require you to divide your team into three parties, which you can switch between at will. On some occasions, these characters may even split up. Except for a few occasions, you are free to select whomever you want from your pool of available characters. As such, Final Fantasy VI rarely has a set party of characters. Although the story begins with Terra, the aforementioned mysterious girl, there are long stretches of the plot where the player's view is focused on other characters, such as the "treasure hunter" Locke or the former Imperial general Celes. Rather, the plot's focus tends to switch from character to character as the plot advances. A trio of Imperial Troops has been sent to collect it, one of whom is a mysterious girl with the power of magic.įinal Fantasy VI is rather unique among the Final Fantasy franchise in that it doesn't have a designated protagonist. Final Fantasy VI opens up as a frozen Esper has been found in the arctic town of Narshe. A millennium later, humanity is now a society dominated by steam technology, but the Gestahlian Empire seeks to reawaken the lost power of the Espers in a bid to control the planet. This war, called The War of the Magi, devastated the planet, and eventually the Espers fled to another world, while humans struggled to rebuild their society. One thousand years ago, humans used a race of magical creatures called Espers to wage war against one another in an attempt to dominate the world. While I love Final Fantasy IV and V, this was the big one for me, and thankfully, Final Fantasy VI Advance was worth the wait. You can only imagine the smile that came to my face when Square Enix announced their plans to port all three of the Super Nintendo versions of Final Fantasy to the Gameboy Advance. Sadly, neither my Super Nintendo nor my cartridge have survived the passage of time, so any desire to replay Final Fantasy III meant I was forced to play the tragically sub-par PlayStation 1 port, which is now called by its correct name, Final Fantasy VI. The recollection of coming home and putting that game into my console sticks with me even to this day. Of all the fond memories I have of my Super Nintendo, none can match Final Fantasy III.
