Final Fantasy 6 Trivia Time!

[Dark Jaguar]

In the SNES US one, from what I've read, they actually sugar coated the supposed death scenes, like Cid jumping off the airship, so you didn't temporarilly think he died even. PS1 is a pretty accurate translation, so yes they were supposed to come back. How did Cid and Yang survive? They are in a Japanese action story! In Japanese action, all humans are capable of becoming as strong as Super Man if they just "train" (apparently this is also true in Teen Titans, Robin can now apparently survive nuclear explosions and kick a cement giant's arse with nothing mroe than brute strength).

Aeris, or Aerith in the original Japanese (learned that because I had to know why on Earth she's called Aerith in Kingdom Hearts), is pretty cool.

And yeah Weltall, there are lots of loose ends. Some of it may be translation, but not all of it. They don't go into ALL details of the story, but that's okay because I can more or less imagine what happened with Celes. Except, yes they really should have had some sort of reaction when Celes came to Maranda. Oh well, there's a lot of continuity issues when it came to actually programming NPCs to recognize individual characters. So, too often they don't do that. You end up with some guy talking about Celes having the "spitting image" of big man Sabin.

However, a Final Fantasy 6-2 game would be nice, filling in some of the character's past, but also seeing exactly how the people manage to live their lives in this new magicless world. Well, this is all assuming they don't end up screwing us over and making Terra a pop sensation.

I want to see Terra and either Cecil or Kain show up in the next Kingdom Hearts :D.

Oh yeah, about some characters having no real story. That's okay. They basically were there to fill in roles as far as gameplay, not story. Some of them really don't need story anyway. I don't WANT my moogle friend to have much of a deep story. He's fine as a cartoon character more or less. Gau DID have a story, but wow did that have a big let down... Turns out his dad is a blithering crazy person... There was something there, then the crazy guy opens his mouth... Oh well, senility aside, at least Gau managed it well.

Gogo... He's just there as a cameo from the last game, and there's nothing there to expand on. In fact in the Japanese version the question of his gender doesn't come up in his description. He's just another guy for your party with a cool ability, and also everyone ELSE'S abilities :D.

The important thing is the characters they did focus on had some pretty nice development.

The World of Balance had the better storyline progression of the two worlds by the way... The world of ruin developed the invidivual character stories pretty well, this is true, but they sort of lost focus... Celes starts out in such a way that you think she'll be the main character of this new shift in the storyline. That would be cool, but they don't do much of a job really expanding on that. After Edgar, she doesn't play much of a role... Really, lots of scenarios all over the world involving her, and some flashbacks, and some scenes with her talking to Terra, those would have been nice. As it is, the world of ruin lacks a central character to tie it all together very well... Well, that's not really true. Kefka does that :D. Okay that might have been the point, showing exactly how Kefka has effected everyone and all, but it's hard to read the sort of person Kefka is when there's no sort of clues to his personality aside from the destruction... oh right... well okay then...
