I think people have a thing for Final Fantasy 4 because it gets to the point quickly, and because "Palom and Edge" is cool. As compared to Costume simulator that is 3 and 5. If you have some characters that stands out, then people may forgive it more.
But FF6 i have no idea why anyone is into, or why there is a cult following of that game is beyond me. A clown rampaging places?, thats your favorite game? Its even worse that people like it because of the story.
Because other SNES games have done story better than this game has. Such as Zelda A Link to the Past on Super Nintendo, reason why that work
1: Proportions of enemies and character is in place
2: Intro works with the theme of the game, setting vs actual game visuals.
3: The main boss isnt a clown for once.
As compared to Final Fantasy 6 where
1: Your Sprite proportions in gameplay... vs a realistic proportioned character JPEG? You dont see anything wrong here?
2: The theme is trolling. Pure and simple. Its a clown game. People try to make it serious but it has no theme lets be honest.
3: Fyi, Kefka is a rip off (owned rip off), of FF5 Exdeath and Gilgamesh. Exdeath was a knight entity of a evil tree that sought destruction to return nature as it was. And Gilgamesh was a goofball that fought you for lols. That became Kefka in FF6.
Not only is this insulting to a stupid concept of a game, but it also means they made something that sorta worked and made sense in FF5, to something insanely stupid in FF6.
