The Music of Final Fantasy VI


I certainly have a liking for Final Fantasy games, though I haven't played too many of them. I have much more experience with the Kingdom Hearts series of games, a spin-off of sorts from the series. Of Final Fantasy games, I have only played to a full extent Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, and Dissidia Final Fantasy. I am currently playing through Final Fantasy for the PSP, and I'm writing a walkthrough on the Final Fantasy Wiki (go check it out!). Needless to say, I have an interest in the games.

However, there are also games that I do not like in the Final Fantasy series, the most of which is Final Fantasy VII. Having had it shoved down my throat in the entire Kingdom Hearts series didn't exactly make it a good memory. From the content and characters I have had the utter displeasure to observe and learn about, I can tell the game had truly nothing to make it special, and I can in fact identify many weak points in the game's structure and story. Also, no, Sephiroth is not the greatest thing ever.

Then, you've got Final Fantasy VI. I don't dislike this game, but I can't say that I like it either--because I haven't played it! From what I can only observe through articles and videos, the main character is certainly not one that I like: Terra Branford. Anyway, I was recently asked to critique several pieces of music from this classic game, and I figured it would make a good update here. So, here goes!

Leaking Pipes and Pads + Marching Festival!

Well, it's been a day since my last forum post. Who knows, maybe this whole blog thing might get further than I expected.

It seems my writings have been leaking more than pipes in a cheap motel sink. My #FFWiki logs were leaked out earlier this week, and now someone managed to backtrack my user name (I think) to find this blog. And even better, it got spread all throughout my old channel. Lovely, isn't it? Well, since I don't want this blog to turn into the place to dig up DTN's secrets and statements to use against him, I'm going to take a page out of Hyperbole and a Half's book--or rather, blog--and add overly childish artwork. Hooray!
