SLIGHT SPOILERS
Wow...that was...a disappointing ending. And OMG, Kefka was so damn easy! He only got like...two turns: one to cast Haste on himself, and another to physically attack someone. Each of my four party members had one turn, and BAM, he was dead. I didn't even get to hear all of "Dancing Mad." The naked men below Kefka were a breeze, as well. None of my characters died, so I used Celes, Shadow, Sabin, and Cyan the whole time. I don't even feel like I really went out of my way to get equipment or level up, aside from leveling up characters I never used, just to get through the Tower. The Kaiser Dragon might pose a challenge, but I probably won't even bother with it. I might say that FFVI is even easier than FFVIII.
The following things probably (definitely) made the game easy:
- Shadow was level 86+ and had 9999 HP
- Shadow also had the Genji Glove + Master Scroll combo, which allowed him to attack 8 times in one turn for around 4000-5000 damage with each attack.
- Celes had the Soul of Thamasa which allowed two magic attacks in one turn (Ultima x2 per turn!)
- Celes also had a Celestriad, which made it so all magic only cost 1 MP. Cyan also had a Celestriad, but he didn't cast anything but Curaga once or twice.
- Sabin's Phantom Rush pwned at 9999 damage per turn, but compared to Shadow or Celes, that wasn't much damage.
- Cyan's Flurry Bushido allowed 4 attacks of around 4000 damage per turn.
And none of those items were hard to get at all. I even got all the Espers but Diabolos ('cause you have to beat the game first before you can get him). I didn't even do it to be a completionist. I just did it 'cause I didn't wanna go to Kefka's Tower and use characters I hate.
In the end, FFVI is an okay game, but, in my opinion, pales in comparison to almost every FF after it. I dunno, maybe FFVI might be FFIX in my book, but it's close. There were just too many characters in FFVI. >< Umaro and Mog didn't even do anything at the end of the game, and Gogo just kinda...disappeared. Of course, those are optional characters...and so is every character but Celes, Edgar, and Setzer. Heh...but...yeah.
I dunno if I should keep FFVI Advance or trade it in. But whatever the case is, it means I'm back to playing FFXII...or Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition...or Saints Row...or Wind Waker...or whatever other games I haven't finished.
