Espers and what not..

Hands down, my favorite game of all time is Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the original US release).
I rate it better than even the games that came out afterwards for the PSX and PS2.
Way back when it originally came out, this thing cost me $80. It was practically an investment. Hironobu Sakaguchi directed, Yoshitaka Amano character designs, and Nobuo Uematsu music, even Tetsuya Nomura who would figure prominently in later Final Fantasy installments was involved with this game.
Theres way too many things to like about this game, the graphics which were at the time pretty top notch even with the characters running around super deformed style. The characters themselves are still some of the coolest, I mean theres even a ninja called Shadow who has a pet dog named Interceptor whose theme song sounds straight out of some western movie. If western movies were about ninjas. One of the characters can use a chainsaw attack where he comes at you wearing a jasonstyle hockey mask. And if you played this game, you'll know the Opera House scene..the list just goes on and on..
It also has one of the most satisfying endings to a game. Although there is literally nearly a dozen characters they all get their shine time in.
I think the first time I played this game through it took about 50 some odd hours to finish..and I think i'd probably be ready to do it again..
