About Me
Hi! I'm Ian/4knuckleshuffle. I'm FIDEEN NOW BITCHES and your average stereotypical gamer. I like books, videogames, pen and paper RPGs, Warhammer 40,000, and other such indulgences. If this profile seems like my introductory post, that's because it is!
Avatar Origin: On my friend's forum, I changed my avatar one too many times, which pissed him off enough to set it to this and lock it. I've grown to like the image.

FFVI: First Impressions
4knuckleshuffle | 7:22 PM on 06.06.2008 3 comments


I have the attention span of a- ooh something shiny- gnat when it comes to my gaming. I usually lose focus on one game for a while and go on to play something different. Then I come back to the game reinvigorated. I'm sure I'll be like this with FFVI as well. /ramble

I booted up FFVI on my favorite not-emulator, SNES9x, after downloading a not-rom from my favorite not-rom site, [url]www.vimm.net[/url]. [url]WWW.VIMM.NET[/url]! GO THERE!

This is when my inner cynic started to act up. I began listing off various cliches of the JRPG genre as I came upon them in play. There were a fucking lot, and I just played the first 15 minutes.

Despite that, I'm actually really enjoying it.

PS: Locke is awesome.

Just remember that these are the games that spawned the cliches.

Yeah, as Aerox said, these were the starters. Remember FF VI came out around '93.

Anyway, glad to hear you're liking it so far. What did you think of the opening credits with the MagiTek soldiers advancing to Narshe? That's honestly my favorite opening out of all the Final Fantasy games.

PS: Yes, Locke is very awesome.

Woot! FF6 is my favorite game of all time. It may be cliche now but when I was 12 that shit was the bees knees. Also, sweet banner.
