Finally getting around to FFVI and i absolutely LOVE it

FF VI

This is crazy. Im an OG FFVII 90s kid background. My favourite old school FF is FFV, i always thought it was so fun. When it came to FFVI i tried playing it like 10 times through my life and always gave up around Phantom Train. I could not bring myself to care! I don't know what it was.

I'm finally playing it - on pixel remaster - on my big screen TV - with Boost 4x exp/gil/ap etc - I'm cruising through it and i LOVE it!! I'm so happy to come to this relationship with this game and in some way ironically it was actually my Magic The Gathering FFVI card deck that made me finally come around to this!

I always felt the older FF games were a slog in modern day with constant random battles and exp grinding and super hard bosses and etc. I love playing it with 4X boost, almost every battle I get rewarded with a level up or a magic learned, cruising through enemies with huge attacks feels great. Its fun and easy and rewarding and a great vibe. The music and characters and scenes are so rich, you can feel how it was a precursor to FFVI with the dark music and characters types (Aeris - Terra??)

Anyways so happy to announce I *finally* get the hype at the ripe age of 38. Thank you
