I played the first one for 40ish hours and the story is just "save the 4 crystals" but they felt like they needed a LOT of dialogue to really drive that point home.

Terper posted:I mean I also think watching silent playthroughs is a different experience from playing it yourself even if you're cheating or whatever Yeah, it's a completely different experience if you just sit there looking at the screen while people are exploring versus actually doing it yourself actively. Experienced game players probably can get by at looking at footage given experience that give them good ideas if they are actively watching, but for newer players or people unfamiliar with the genre/gameplay it won't be the same since they won't have a developed sense of what to look for. In Training posted:I played the first one for 40ish hours and the story is just "save the 4 crystals" but they felt like they needed a LOT of dialogue to really drive that point home. The plot and characters do expand beyond that once it gets into chapters 5 and beyond. It seems weirdly detailed for the first 4 chapters for something you think is simple, but they do throw in things to flesh out the characters and scenarios to get you thinking. I had the same sort of thinking when I first played, but I felt it worked well by the end when I had seen that the game did have a bunch of cool things about it's characters and worlds despite seeming boringly simple at first glance.

Another question for FFVI Experts. Would you say Terra or Celes are the Main Characters, or is the game an ensemble story? Because I have been part ofthe FF community for over ten years and that means I invariably heard debates about pretty much everything, including this. The "it's an ensemble story with no real lead' seemed like a compromise most accepted. I just got reminded of it looking at a discussion of the most popular FF characters and their chances of being in Dissidia. One guy lost his loving poo poo saying Celes didn't matter and was terrible at everything when someone suggested she was FFVI's lead and should be in Dissidia.

I'd say it was Terra up until the World of Ruin, then Celes for a bit until you start meeting characters again and then it goes all ensemble. But if it had to be one I'd say Terra after she joins up again. One of Terra's whole big character things is basically a big theme of the story too, so extra points there. Or Mog. There should be a VI prequel about him and his gang. What the gently caress that's a loving fish guy. I dunno what I always saw him as but it wasn't that.

Even in the WoR, Terra's story is one of the bigger focuses, plus she's the only optional character that will still show up for the ending if skipped. One of the game's biggest themes is love of all kinds, and Terra questioning her ability to feel love as a half-esper until eventually finding it in orphaned children is pretty much the culmination of that, while Celes's whole thing with Locke is kinda underplayed and may not even be resolved if you decide the Phoenix Cave is too much of a pain to bother with. She's mainly the viewpoint character for the WoR to shake things up and because she's most closely connected to the people and events that caused the world's destruction. She's definitely the second-most important character of the playable ones, but I'd still go with Terra as the sole main since the entire game is about her. That said, it's open to argument for good reason. I'd love to see another ensemble main-series game where who's the actual main character is debatable. The only other games I can think of where you can make that argument are 5 (Bartz gets slightly more focus than the others, but everyone gets pretty much equal opportunity to develop) and 2 (because Firion, Maria, and Guy are loving dull as poo poo and get absolutely no development (as far as characters can get developed in FF2 anyway) compared to the likes of Minwu, Gordon, Ricard, and Leon).

13 was pretty much an ensemble cast, with hindsight making Lightning stand out more because of the retconning that made 13-2 and LR.

FF6 is largely Terra's story. She is the central focus of much of the plot and even when she isn't in the party is relies heavily on her to the point she is the only character who factors into the ending even if you don't recruit her again. If FF6 has a protagonist is her but the focus character of the story switches regularly between her, Locke and Celes with brief stopovers in Sabin/Edgartown.

X and XII aren't so much games with ensemble casts as games where the real protagonist is different from the one the game presents as the central character (Yuna and Ashe vs. Tidus and Vaan, respectively). Basch is pretty important to the main story of XII though, and depending on how much you believe the accounts of its development was even more so in Matsuno's original vision of the project.

terra is the mcguffin of ff6 and its an ensemble cast. like, is jotaro the main character of stardust crusaders? consequently colette is the co-main character of symphonia she just has all the character interactions that a modern version of ff6 would have had time for. If ff6 and symphonia were made in opposite eras their roles would be reversed. you'd be asking if the symphonia cast was 'an ensemble cast' or if it had 'a defined main character'

Tae posted:13 was pretty much an ensemble cast, with hindsight making Lightning stand out more because of the retconning that made 13-2 and LR. This is how I always saw things, too. Lightning really wasn't more important or vital to XIII than any of the other party members.

I always felt like FF6 was kinda split into three acts, with Terra, Locke, and Celes being the main character of each. It's kind of a stretch, but there's a neat little pattern with how each act opens with its main character waking up in a bed after having been knocked out by the events of the previous act's climax Edit: The magitech armor section is more of a prologue than anything

Terra's and Celes' themes are the best music in the game so further support for them sharing mains. When in doubt, follow the music.

In ff9 steam version you get the achievement for getting all the treasures before disc 4 when the last treasure is available and before fat chocobos quest is done So far only one cutscene played poorly and that was at the end of pandemonium. Crackling and choppy fps
