The save on the copy I bought on eBay was broken, so I had to return it. I have since then boughten a new copy, but it just came in earlier this week and I haven’t started it yet. Hopefully I’ll get to play it at some point over the weekend.

Yeah, I’m much farther, but this is where the game took off for me. I had heard so much about the opera scene and it absolutely delivered! That one scene makes me want to give Uematsu lots of money.

And the esper system reminds me of the FFVIII junction system and FFIX’s equipment system. Equipping an esper lets you learn stuff, in FFVI’s case, magic. My only real complaint with it is the fact that there isn’t much room for the characters to be truly unique. And the only characters worth using magic for are Terra and Celes. Everyone else *needs* a cure spell of some sort, but everything else is just there if you want it.

To conclude, this is currently my favorite Final Fantasy game in terms of story. It only goes up from where you’re at, Mike!

Hey Mike, don’t worry too much about your lack of attachment to the characters yet. There will be quite a few more moments that are gonna make them shine!
I too bought the game kind of late (ca. 2001) and had to get used to it but after a few days I completely fell in love with it and it’s now one of my favorites!
Sadly I haven’t been playing for a while, so I can’t help you out with the Esper system.
Keep playing. It’s really worth it!

(PS: Thanks to you guys I recently replayed Link’s Awakening. It’s still awesome!)
