It's amazing how the generation preceding the 32/64 bit generation and the generation that succeeded it both hold up incredibly well today, but the odd one in the middle mostly looks like hot garbage when upscaled or even in native res.

Sidereal Wraith Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Again, if you’re talking about the IOS or Steam ports I’ve heard that they do have a few bugs. However, if you’re playing the original SNES or GBA versions of FF6, those should be relatively bug free unless you get a bad copy of the game.

Karimlan Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 But I'm tamer than those more rabid ones. Anyhoo, it's how the late-90s 3D graphics made me appreciate jRPG ports to the Switch, and I'm wishing there'd be more of them (Valkyrie Profile and Vagrant Story, PLEASE!).

Acacia Sgt Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 If I hadn't gotten already the mobile port of Valkyrie Profile, I'd also be wanting for a port on Steam or so. Also, FF I and II on Steam when SE!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Is it just me, or is the atmosphere here really tense for some reason?Don't fight, y'all. My #1 favorite area theme. Should help calm you down a bit if you're feeling tense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m more just confused because I’ve never really heard of FF6 in general being a buggy mess and never experienced any of these major glitches myself. Again I’ve heard mixed reactions to the Steam and IOS ports, but one does have the ability to play other versions of the game, plus it’s not really the fault of the original versions because those where shipped in a playable manner.

Hmm, it says there it's a problem that happened only in the initial release... and in ROM's. HMM Anyway, it says it's been resolved since the 1.1v, the PSX port and onward. So it should no longer be a problem, then. Edited July 11, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no stake in this, to be honest. I've never played FFVI, so I can't judge it one way or the other. I just know the song I talked about knowing and that it's one of the most beloved Final Fantasy games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said before, they have alot of bugs, and the GBA port has problems as well. That was my main example because destroying save data kinda puts me off playing.

Caster Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I feel like if you are aggressive about a game because of people who are the worst in fandoms (btw, every game's fandom has someone like this) isn't especially fair. Since every series, game, etc. has people like that, I don't think it's good to justify something because of someone like that when I could say that for literally any game that exists.

Punished Dayni Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 15 minutes ago, lightcosmo said: Nah, I was just stating my opinion. I've never liked the game or its harsh fans. They dump on you if you say one bad thing about the game, like it's on some pedestal. Good thing I don't go preaching that IX is better. I haven't touched the SNES version, but I do know a lot of those bugs have been fixed since (also the PS1 version is slow. And it was the first FF I ever played!), if you decide to try it again just go with GBA even if the sound chip is a bit worse. I decided to look into what has gone on there (being it had been a while since I looked around and ) and I'll just leave some links to look at with bugs and changes. Spoiler https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_VI_version_differences https://tcrf.net/Final_Fantasy_VI/Revisional_Differences Messy as it is, for some the exploits they found were part of the appeal and most of those bugs were all small things that often needed exploits (not losing Interceptor though. That's just cruel). Me, I just like the game as a whole. As an aside, teehee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t really give a damn about the FF series anymore. It can burn in a ditch and I won’t really care. I’ve just never really heard about these glitches before in FF6 and also thought that my own personal experience with the game went smoothly and without any issues with the game bugging out on me.

I feel like saying a game is a buggy, glitchy mess depends mostly on how badly it's likely to affect casual play, or how likely you are to get stuck because of something. Yes, FF6 has a lot of glitches and bugs, but I feel like you aren't likely to see many of them unless you're actively trying to. So I feel for some games "being a buggy mess" isn't the most fair argument to why it's bad... there are some easy exploits, yea, but you aren't going to see some of them. And things like evasion not working just change how you play the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The language used in prior posts belies that point, though. Which brings me to this assertion: Not every fan of something you don't necessarily like holds you as dislikable (if there even is such a word) for having a different opinion. By the same token, they don't deserve the vitriol you might come up with or dumping on their fave game/music/whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
