@rrhoover When you enter the World of Ruin! Then Celes tries to commit suicide. That was my first introduction to a mature storyline in videogaming. It changed how I perceived games forever. I was maybe... 8 years old when I first played?
You have a good mom.
Greatest game ever made.
EDIT: One of the things that makes this game so charming all these years later is its original translation, which has a particularly uncanny level of personality to it, compared to most games at the time, thanks to the translator Ted Woolsey. Written about this a bit before: http://noblepioneer.com/post/590...
Also one of the greatest soundtracks for a video game ever. The music was later recorded in piano and even orchestral versions, highly recommended
@jasoncrawford Yes! Have you or @will_lam also seen a Distant Worlds concert (the touring Final Fantasy concert series, often conducted by Nobuo Uematsu himself) ? If usually includes a good array of FF VI songs.

@jasoncrawford Also, there were in fact so many different versions Wikipedia has its own page for them all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus...
@thetylerhayes Haven't been to Distant Worlds but back in 2005 I went to Dear Friends in SF, got a VIP ticket and got to meet Uematsu and have him sign my poster. It was awesome
