Personally how I would have fixed the whole character classes being lost to the magic system is to tie it to the character classes and make each character learn magic faster depending on their class compatibility. You can still grind all the Spells if you want but it will take a lot longer to grind the ones that are out of character class, also the level of bonuses from the summons would also be tied to the class system if done this way to further incentivize those classes

I love how he talks about Runic being forgotten about when I've always been of the impression that it's one of the most broken abilities in any game ever. It has the ability to completely trivialize a ton of fights and it means Celes always has a huge pool of MP to work with, reinforcing her as the strongest mage in the game. I always find it interesting with these older games how we really did play them in a vacuum, and we all really did form our own opinions and strategies. Now peoples thoughts on games feel almost homogeneous. We all consume the same media surrounding them and share in a large community surrounding that specific game. I guess part of me is nostalgic for a time that's long gone, and even tho I wouldn't go back to it even if I could, there are some things I'll miss from time to time.

Maria misses the one she loves, climbs to the peak, and throws the flowers off the roof. One year later, Celes misses the ones she loves, climbs to the peak, and throws herself off the mountain. As soon as I drew the parallels, I blanched, and I’ve loved the opera ever since.

I can even break down why that rating would work the way he would. "There are so many things in the game to choose as the best that it's hard to pick. While there are clearly some that are better than others, the wide variety of options depending on personal taste and play style grant more choice than most any other final fantasy, or any other GAME to date at the time."

I've only put 20 hours into this (not even halfway through the story), but, as I kept playing, Locke started to feel like the main character to me. Not because I choose him a lot (I mostly main Edgar), but because he always seems to be there in some form even when not in the party. Like, he's the spirit that pushes the others forward.

I've literally never made a comment on a KZread vid before but I just replayed this after it came out on Steam and in replaying, I share your delight. I played the original back in the day (yes, on the old gray cartridge - and yes, I would occasionally blow on it if I HAD TO do the universal 'Nintendo fix', ha). This, to this day, is not just one of my favorite games of all time, but also one of the best stories I've ever been told (that includes movies, books, everything I've ever consumed). I've recommended it to many because honestly? The fact that they're sprites DOES NOT matter - you still connect emotionally and it's profound. Thanks for the video.

I always rewatch this video from time to time cause it's my favorite video of his. Not only because it's a very complex and emotional analysis of the game, but also to see how much he has overcome and changed over the years.

This is the best and most emotional review I’ve seen from you, Jerd. I not only watched the KZread Premiere but also the Twitch Premiere. I wept with you and chat after the Twitch Premiere was over. I was also moved to tears throughout your playthrough of this game and your review of it. Especially when you said “I’ve been there.” Although I never had self harm/suicidal thoughts or tendencies, it reflected on my own personal struggles with the feelings of disappointment, vengeance, hatred, anger, bitterness, resentment, holding grudges, betrayal, sorrow, pain, grief, guilt, regret, despair, pessimism, fear, anxiety, sadness, loss, heartbreak, and wanting to live in isolation/exist but not live, because of on how society is designed/based on; people bringing others down. I’m thankful for the therapy I had from childhood to my teens, I still carry the advice it has given me through out my life. Final Fantasy VI is a classic that still stands the test of time.

One of the most memorable moments in my childhood was the collapse of the floating continent. I was blown away by the fact that the villain had basically won and the world was destroyed. Yet there's a great message after that. Even if the world around you has fallen apart, there are still reasons to go on living life.

"It is ok to have scenes that don't further the plot, as it develops character." This is a good lesson for life really. It's perfectly ok to take time away from your "main story", your career, your relationships etc., and focus on building who you are as a person.

Dude the scene when he talks about Celes. I really felt his emotions. He is a victim of e-drama.

ProJared, I've been watching your Final Fantasy series in order, both out of interest, nostalgia, and what I can learn as an aspiring game designer... and while they've all been good, this was both deeply personal, emotional, powerful, and a very welcome trip down memory lane. Such as pleasure to hear you talk very vulnerably and openly about a game you so, so obviously love. Thank you, and keep up the awesome work!

The game holds a cathartic emotion within my youth. It's so expansive... I had a paper back SNES strategy guide that had multiple games in it growing up that had this game. It was also this, and "2" that I used to have when I was really young before the carts disappeared...

If FF6 was an anime, Sabin’s train suplex would be the badass action scene that plays in the climax of the intro.

That said, I can't imagine it working out as a show as these games are intentionally inconsistent to keep the player entertained. Plus, bittersweet ending's like Locke's wouldn't really please a viewer as its not a happy ending.

Edgar still could've used some depth and a vulnerable side to him though.

Your passion for this game is beautiful Jared… and I don’t think I’m the only one who would genuinely love to see a full in depth analysis of the characters from you. Your feelings, passion, sheer love and, I guess, private feelings that the game related to, make you one of the best people to do this. I really hope you’d consider it, one day.

This video made me think a lot about how games have evolved over time, and how old some of these games are. I'm named after this game. It made me think about my dad too, who came up with that idea and is the one who got me into games. He's playing a game with his friends as I type this. It's crazy to think how much time has passed. I started watching Jared when I was around the ages of 10-12, and now I'm a young adult. It's so melancholic to think about, nostalgic even.

This video was so poignant, intimate, and emotional. I haven’t ever played a Final Fantasy game, but have always wanted to. After seeing this, I’m going to find a way to finally start playing the series, starting with this one. Thanks, Jared for such an amazing video

Nearly a year removed to watch this video again. I love watching people loving video games. Jared's passion comes through in this video so much, possibly my favorite video from him.

I like Celes a lot, but to me she just a safe choice. She's brave, fiery and badass, with a soft side. Terra in contrast is a huge bag of flaws, which is something very unique for a main character (in a serious setting). She is carried through half of the story until she finds a great answer to Kefka's nihilism, telling him that life is worth living because of the little joys in it, that is how life is, it doesn't need a grand reason or a point, and that is such a real answer. Besides, Terra becomes the foster mom of an entire village and from that point she goes from a reserved/afraid girl to a sweet, confident pacifist. Like Jared said, you choose your answer out of the main cast, Terra's arc touched me the most on a personal level, and that's why for me, she will always be best girl.

@@kejiri3593 The game is about loss because it's a recurring theme. It's kind of hard to argue against that. All except a couple of characters are struggling with some form of it, not only the loss of a loved one through death but of control over one's body/destiny, familial separation (spoilers: Relm is Shadow's daughter, and Gau's father is, if I remember right, the crazy old man), the loss of one's sanity or moral compass, and one's own will to live. Failure, such as the failure to prevent Kefka from destroying the world, is another form of loss, as is feelings of loss and survival guilt after a genocidal event. A number of sci-fi books and movies have explored the unique pain and despair of surviving a nuclear holocaust or an analog to one, and I see FFVI as following in the footsteps of such works, though it's certainly no Quiet Earth or Road Warrior.
