But what about Final Fantasy VI?
Just going from what I've read/seen/heard. But definitely, Final Fantasy VI was actually the very first FF game I ever played, and it will surely remain a favorite for life. A lot of FF games have been incredible though and I like a lot of them. Haven't got to play hardly any of the newer ones though since I only have PS2 and Gamecube consoles (excuse = I'm a PC gamer with limited money).
I have a recommendation for those of you that like anime (slightly on the cute side) and a worthwhile RPG story, I just noticed that
Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone is only $5 (reg. price is $20), and it is a gem that few know about. The screenshots on Steam simply don't do it justice. I highly recommend it. My only warning for you is that you cannot push through the whole game by simply mashing buttons; you may find this game incredibly frustrating if you suck horribly at the fighting mechanics. I actually didn't like it at first, because I mashed the buttons and it "seemed" like it wasn't very responsive, but then I learned that it was just because I've played too many dumbed-down fighting games, and I was extremely glad I gave it a chance, because I discovered that fighting took a bit of skill which made victories more satisfying. I put 30+ hours into this game, loving every minute (after the first 20 minutes or so of n00bz frustr4tion). It's arguably the best game to date that Carpe Fulgar has localized on Steam (Carpe Fulgar is the publisher, Lizsoft made the game). "Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale", is the second best game published by them and it's also worth a buy if it ever gets to 75% off, and "Chantelise - A Tale of Two Sisters" just plain sucks. NEVER buy it (unless maybe it gets trading cards, which is extremely unlikely). I mainly like Fortune Summoners because the story was surprisingly quite fun to play through. It just had a good "role-play" vibe to it that really clicked with me. Most RPGs aren't able to draw me in like this one did. I would describe the game as both quaint/cute and adventurous. I kinda feel like playing through it again now.
