Even if Caesar dies the battle of Hoover Dam happens with Lanius leading. Granted, the game accounts for this because the game still needs to happen, but you're introducing the hypothetical removal of the Courier as a factor, which causes all sorts of unforeseen consequences. At the very least the Courier is a major accelerating factor for the 2nd Battle of Hoover Dam, so it's safe to assume that things would move on a slower timeframe without their involvement. It's stated more than once that Lanius loves Caesar but hates his Legion, so if Caesar dies or becomes incapable of leading before the Legion is ready to mount their offensive, it's no guarantee that Lanius would be able to lead effectively or even be motivated to lead without Caesar's guidance. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

He was JAQ'ing off in a controversial topic the other day, is now posting doomer polls and bending over backwards to proclaim their legitimacy with a faux air of being calm and collected, and finally started into both-sides'ing in his last couple of posts; he's completely interchangeable with the dozen or so 'enlightened centrists' who believe their schtick to be non-transparent. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

I was about to buy it and realized the GBA version enhancements like extra summons, Dragon's Den, and Soul Shrine aren't in the Pixel Remaster. Big mistake. I guess the definite way to play FF6 atm is the Steam version with mods to make it better. My opinions on the GBA extra content are mixed. Give me a version that has the four new Espers and a simple boss rush of the overpowered 8 Dragons + Kaiser Dragon and I'd be happy. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

How does it hold up to the original? FF6 is my all-time favorite video game, so I had every reason to be hyper-critical of it; bearing that in mind, it's about as good a remaster as I could've reasonably hoped for. The remixed songs range from great to gorgeous ("Searching for Friends" in particular goes fuckin' HARD), the updated battle backdrops and effects are very nice, and they finally fixed that syncing issue with the ending cutscene vignettes / soundtrack that's plagued every previous rerelease of the game. My only real nitpicks are some changes to the Opera House performance, and the remixed Narshe track is a bit muddier than the original. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |
