Suplexing that train is one of my best moments ever in gaming. 11 yo me: "There's no way this works, but this attack is so strong that I have to try" *jaw drops*
Fun fact. The One Ring from Lord of the Rings is an Artifact, meaning you can Suplex it out of existence. Turns out all the Fellowship really needed was motha fuckin Sabin.
Definitely not a ground-up remake like FF7, but making it look and play like FF12 sounds really fun. Maybe even FF15, that one's a little better for "evil industrial nation" conflicts.
I mostly liked the Pixel Remaster but they made some changes that were not great, minor but annoying. Like they changed the Empire's salute to the wave or when the troops are supposed to be torturing Celes in a cell now they are just saying mean things to her. The Opera scene felt like an improvement though.

As forementioned, Final Fantasy 6, Pixel Remastered. The best version of the game in my opinion. It's on all the major consoles and Steam. Literally one of the greatest games of all time. It's not a classic, it's a fucking masterpiece.

I see they’ve studied the Prometheus school of avoiding a train

I'm still annoyed you can't suplex the train in the FF14 fight against this train.

All you had to do, was follow the train!

I will be forever disappointed that in FF14 the Monk can't Suplex Phantom Train or Doom Train.

My best friend and I stayed up all night in college playing this in one go. Still one of the most favorite nights I've ever had.

Where the fuck is Shadow? Did you leave him behind?
ladyfirewitch9000
Of course not, but I did fuck around too long before going into the forest and he dipped out a couple encounters earlier. He does that a lot

I still haven't beaten it yet, but im near the end game

I hope it stands up to a new player first time through. It's hard for me to tell how much of my enjoyment is nostalgia
medium0fry
I just finished a first play through of the entire pixel remastered set, and 6 was definitely one of my favorites.

I don't like how wasteful the UI is on the remasters.

Currently replaying this. Just as good as I remember. I've watched an any % and a 100% speed run. Both were amazing, but I'm not playing it that way.
nikinnorway12
in my day we had to memorize our blitzes
ladyfirewitch9000
Was my day, too. But I'm not even mad at it. If there's a setting to turn that off, I'm not looking for it. I'm too old and busy to be bothered

I already thought those guys were beasts when they were outWALKING a speeding train. Then he suplexed it and blew my mind.
MeatPosicleIsDead
Very tone deaf of Squenix to remove the suplex a train meme from their translation. Childhood memories right there.

FFVI is why I bothered learning to read. Also, you don't have Shadow with you, you heathen @OP?
ladyfirewitch9000
He bolted from the group a couple fights before I entered the forest

Only bought one box of the cards, and this was in there. I may have squealed out loud.
umahktually
I am slowly building a master set of it. The gold chocobo may take a lifetime but I am slowly building up the others
VodkaReindeer
Think of all the money you saved by buying only one box.
Maybe you should reward yourself by buying some cards.

You must ALWAYS suplex the train.

Number one complaint of this fight in Final Fantasy Online is you can't suplex the train. Someone will mention it EVERY time.
dunkum09
why did they change the name from suplex to meteor strike? suplex is much better
thundercactus
I'm more upset that there's an option now to avoid memorizing every blitz
darthinebriated
i dunno, 2 or 3 of those are pure muscle memory, even now, 30 years later.
ladyfirewitch9000
This. 100% I credit my poor entry to the fact I was playing left handed and holding a phone to film the bit. While mildly intoxicated
darthinebriated
Yeah, that'll do it. Actually it's pretty well done considering those challenge conditions.
PetricusGaming
Original Japanese is Meteor Strike, original English Suplex is to minimize memory usage.
dunkum09
alright, i guess that is a fair reason
ladyfirewitch9000
Gonna be honest: I walked back and forth for a level waiting to get "Suplex" before realizing I already had it with the other name
dunkum09
I am OK with changing names in theory, I remember one or two from the Tactics remake that I thought were improvements, but suplex was already great.
FleaTron
Fuuuuck I have this and need to replay it
MyOldUserNameMeantUndeadCocaineButNowItsThis
you should always replay FF6. At least once every two years. Sound track alone makes it worth it.
TheGlow
The FF6 soundtrack I think is the first time I bought bootlegs of an audio cd from Chinatown. Good times.
Sorrontis
Suplex the train? Wait, why are there menus? You're supposed to learn the D-pad pattern!
ladyfirewitch9000
2022 remaster, bay-bee! Actually, not sure if there's a setting to turn that off
MyOldUserNameMeantUndeadCocaineButNowItsThis
Pixel Remastered is the best version. And that's coming from someone who has played almost every other version of FF6(3)
Boxzsak
Of all the remakes I one day look forward to, this one apparently is not on the docket. Still one of my favorites of all time.

There is no point in trying to improve upon perfection.

I've always wanted to see this ayed out in a show.

Check out FF Pixel Remastered if you didn't already. a little pricey but the care in touching up all on the games, especially 5 and 6, is evident

I mostly liked the Pixel Remaster but they made some changes that were not great, minor but annoying. Like they changed the Empire's salute to the wave or when the troops are supposed to be torturing Celes in a cell now they are just saying mean things to her. The Opera scene felt like an improvement though.
relsky
My favorite of all time, too, and this game should not be remade. It is perfect as is. The pixel remaster is the most I'm willing to accept.
Not everything needs to be remade. Let new, unique ideas flourish and perfect history remain perfect history.

FF4 Advance on the GBA is how to redo a classic. The base game is almost completely unchanged but there is a huge amount of post-game content added. FF4 Pixel Remaster is a such a step backwards it's a disgrace.

FF6 got an Advance treatment too. I liked it for what it was, but today I would emulate it with a few patches to make it look and sound more like the SNES original.

What game?

Final Fantasy VI (or 3 if you're an elderly American)

Better than Chrono Trigger?
agentcutielocks
I'm not going to lie, Chrono Trigger Pixel Remaster sounds pretty good.
MyOldUserNameMeantUndeadCocaineButNowItsThis
Let's not get carried away here
Djinngineer
My bad, but you start throwing around words like 'masterpiece' and I feel obligated to determine where it stands in the GOAT herd.
MyOldUserNameMeantUndeadCocaineButNowItsThis
The Mona Lisa and Starry Night are both masterpieces. Same with Chrono Trigger and FF6.
