Bugs that were present in the older versions, for example, have been completely amended and four new Espers have been tacked on to the already-large lineup of summons (Gilgamesh, Leviathan, Gigantaur, and Diablos). There are a couple of other fixes and additions worth mentioning as well. To be honest, most of Ted Woolsey's initial US changes from 1994 are still present (Tina and Mash remain "Terra" and "Sabin," the majority of Kefka and Ultros' discourse is intact, etc), but let's be honest - as much flak as fans gave Woolsey for his videogame translations, his FF6 work was probably his best reusing most of his interpretations isn't exactly devastating. Item, spell, monster, and ability names have been heavily modified, and it makes the game's connection with more recent PlayStation titles (and the original Japanese version) a great deal closer.
Supervised by the port-masters at Tose Software, Final Fantasy VI's revised script definitely adds a few more tidbits to the dialogue, but the main changes come in other areas.
The most evil and destructive villain in the entire Final Fantasy franchise, Kefka's brutality and ruthlessness is unmatched and he has to be seen to be believed.įortunately, watching the struggle between the Empire and the Returners has been made much clearer by the game's all-new translation. That said, it's the game's maniacal nihilist Kefka that really stands out. Whether it's the brotherly treasure hunter Locke, the womanizing king Edgar, or the untamed child-primitive Gau, there's a vast pool of personality here and more than a dozen playable alter egos in all. FF6's cast of characters is huge and varied, and though several of them do draw from traditional RPG archetypes, this was the game that helped define those archetypes in the first place. To say that the story is epic and emotional would be an understatement. Luckily for the rest of the planet, a rebellious group of insurgents known as "The Returners" have begun to fight back, and things only get more fascinating from there. Having fused the properties of both magic and technology into one powerful combination (known as Magitek), the Empire continues its campaign to take over the world one kingdom at a time. Led by a trio of powerful generals, the Nazi-like regime headed by its Imperial namesake, Emperor Gestahl, is gaining power by the day. But for players who missed Final Fantasy VI the first time let's review: The Gestahlian Empire is taking over. Now, for old vets like me, there's really no plot explanation necessary - just say "Kefka" in a room full of fans and the memories come flooding back.
