Hey guys. I have a question for you.
What is, in your opinion, the best moment in FFVI?

I would have to say

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

during the Cataclysm, when the world was being destroyed.

When I was first playing through the game, I really didn't expect this to happen.
I was like OMGWTF!!
That had to be one of the greatest moments in a Final Fantasy, to me.

Most chilling: Kefka and the final betrayal.
Most gratifying: seeing Kefka's final form, hearing the music, and kicking his ass.

First and foremost, the opera house scene. It certainly wasn't the darkest or most stunning moment in the game, but it was wonderful in its own right. Another one of my favorites is

Gestahl's death at the hands of Kefka.

Now THAT was a turning point.

hmm, id have to say that shadows whole story was my fave moment. just the way he is, and especially where he came from really intrigued me. plus, hes a freakin badass.

- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

My favorite: Sabin and Cyan washing up onto the Veldt with Gau inspecting them and freaking out when they wake up. It's such a unique scene and seeing Gau for the first time is exciting. It means it's almost time to pick up the best character in the game in my opinion. The scene provides a great atmosphere, as does the entire Veldt. It's hard to explain but for some reason I think it's such a great part of the game. The events leading up to the Veldt are exciting and fun and so are the events immediately following.

It's always a bummer when it's time to go all the way to the west side of the northern continent, and then aaaallllllllllllllll the way down to the southern continent. It's so far away from the best place to hang out.

--------------------

FFXI (Siren server)
Tauu the Windurstian Tarutaru!
White Mage & Paladin

Hmmm my favourite episode's of the game would include:

Locke escaping South Figaro
Searching Zozo
Infiltrating Vector

Great moments?

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Terra morphing into her esper form for the first time
The first time Sabin meets Gau's father
Any and all dreams of Shadow
The Atma encounters
The final scene (with the breaking capsules) in the esper-extraction-plant in Vector

You'll notice, that all these scenes and episodes (except maybe Shadow's dreams) are in the WoB. I like the WoR, but the WoB part has more storyline to itself, whereas the WoR has more of a climax-encounter atmosphere.

"We have more, can deliver tuesday." - Del S

Good old CoN

The opera scene, hands down.

I also have to agree with the Ultimate Betrayal and Plot Twist. Definitely the most climactic scene in the series, in my opinion.

I also really like Sabin's scenario as well as the Imperial banquet scenes. The latter, if nothing else, is because the five-year-old in me likes to make my party go into the prison area and use the toilets. I usually have Terra as my leader at that point, so once she jumps off the toilet and it flushes, I immediately walk her to the nearby sink outta impulse. Of course, you can't use the sink, which to this day still makes me shout "Terra, wash your damn hands!!"

i90east, I agree. I remember playing FF3 10 years ago, such a young little dork, and I got to the part you said. My mom yelled that it was time for bed, so I had to save right then, and all night, I wondered, "What's he going to be like? I bet he'll be cool." And you gotta love that music!

Also - - when you're in Albrook, and Locke sees Celes for the first time in a while, and they have that little scene. I actually used to keep a save file right before that point so I could show it to friends when they came over. Looking at the scene now, it's really not all that interesting, but when you consider I named Celes after me and Locke after this guy that I had a crush on, it makes more sense.

Kupo!

The Kefka "HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE YOU!!!" scene is my favorite - I laugh myself silly every time.

--------------------

"The future just ain't what it used to be..."

My favorite part is when you go

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

into the Zoneeateer to get Gogo

Not only do you find some of the most powerful equipment in the game in there,but you also get an extremely useful character.

--------------------

GIMME THE PEANUT BUTTER,KUPO!!!

Cyan's Dream!

But seriously, it's probably Zozo for me. I love the whole town, the plot twists there, the music... everything about Zozo is great.

Daryl's Tomb. You go deeper and deeper underground, and see Setzer's memories of Daryll. Then, you reach the airship, it rises up into the sky, and "Searching For Friends" starts playing. I don't know if that's the first time it plays, but that's the first time I noticed it. It's such an inspirational scene, and it finally seems like you have a chance of stopping Kefka.

--------------------

Mercy?! I am the sixth phase of your world's destruction! would you like some evil pie?

My name is Fox, I am infinitely great, and I am the author of this comic strip..

Sabin and Edgar's coin scene flash back.

It made me tear up.

And to think of everything else that happened during those 10 years that Sabin left...

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Relm may or may not been born,
Shadow was still Clyde,
Rachel and Daryl were still around,
Terra and Celes were probably with the Empire,...

etc.

(and 10 years ago happened to be just around when I first played the game, wee)

I can't pick just one. My favourite moments are when Locke busts Celes out of prison; Kefka's tantrum in the desert ("Ahem...there's SAND on my boots!"); and Locke's comic relief on the ship to Thamasa ("Urk!").

--------------------

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

You guys forgot abt...ULTROS!
Well, although he could be ridiculously irritating at times, he was funny too... And he was also everywhere.

I agree abt Daryl's Tomb and Cyan's Dream... ... : D The Phantom Train too, do you know that in this Chinese legend, they have the train too <well the cartoon that was adapted from the legend has it>. The train that spirits board to get reborn again, they'll also have to drink soup so they can forget about their past life and move on.

Another of my favourite would be when Celes wakes up alone...

The theme music of WOR <the one that starts with the blowing wind> hit me pretty badly after I was in WOR for sometime, it's just depressing, and sad... It even made me stop playing for a while : X

Makes ya think, doesn't it?

I'd have to say my favourite moment had to be

Getting the Falcon and seeing the flashbacks with Setzer

I do quite like Sabin's section after the river just after the returner's hideout. And getting Gau was fun too.

The best moment was

At the beginning, Locke's reaction when he finds out Terra can use Magic, lol.

My favorite part of the game would have to be

Bollocks to spoilers. It should be a given that there's gonna be bloody spoilers. Consider that yer warning.

Anyway, one particular moment that really caught me was when the brothers came back to the castle and reminisced. The scene in particular when they chatted up while sitting on the thrones I found remarkably...subtle for a video game.

And the self help comment had me laughing till I started hurting the first time I heard it.

Arts

Farts

Twarts

That last one you mentioned is 'nother favorite of mine, NW.

That was the first time I witnessed a villain tell it exactly like it is. First time I played, I just had to choke out between laughs "It's funny 'cause it's true!"

The scene right before the final battle, when Kefka says

"This is sickening... You sound like chapters from a self-help booklet!!! Prepare yourselves!"

--------------------

Ultimately a man must travel his chosen path alone.

Well, there's the Opera House Scene, which was perfect because of ADMC.

Then there is the

Celes Suicide Scene if you don't save Cid. That had a huge impact the first time I saw it.

--------------------

Could you repeat that?

I will have to agree with karasuman as to Locke hurling over the side of the ship, and I would say 'Spoony Bard'm but its the wrong game (classic enough of a scene that I feel it deserves mention)

And, also when Terra leaves the town, where all the kids call her mommy. Thats one of my favorites.

And, not really a scene, just the way I play the game, but watching Locke swing the Atma Weapon and something else 8 times.
