Life.. Dreams… Hope… Where’d they come from? …And where are they headed? -KeFKa
53 Hours and 03 Minutes…. and still counting…. Ganyan katagal ang time na ginugol ko sa pagtapos ng isa sa FInal Fantasy Game… ang FInal Fantasy VI… actually ang VI ang pinakarecent na game sa Final Fantasy series ang pwede kong malaro using a GBA.. well of course not including the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance… and I think ito ang pinakalast sa FF series na 2D…
The game starts with a green haired woman and two soldiers riding in what they call a Magitek Armor… raiding a city… searching for a frozen esper… The two soldiers were killed/vanished by the Frozen Esper while something happens when the woman, who is named Terra, came closer to that Esper… Then found out that Terra was only controlled by The Imperial Army… When she got to her senses… her memory is gone and the game begins there… Along the way the player will meet other characters, unfold their stories and stop the Imperial Army …
The Characters
Terra Branford – The main character in the story – the player you start with, a woman with a mysterious character/personality… Her class is Magitek Elite… she is one of the only 2 characters in the game that can cast/use magic without equipping an Esper on them…
Locke Cole - What’s final fantasy game without a thief??? But in the game, he preferred to be called Treasure Hunter… His class is Adventurer… He is also the first character Terra will meet and join her journey in finding her memory and fighting the Empire…As a thief, his unique ability is Steal…
Edgar Figaro – The king of Figaro. The twin brother of Sabin… A huge flirt… Publicly, he is an alliance of the Empire but secretly help the Returners… His class is a Machinist… The one who sent Locke to help/rescue Terra…
Sabin Figaro - Brother of Edgar that choses freedom than being the king of Figaro… Instead he trained to be a martial artists, therefore his techniques/attacks use his fists…
Celes Chere - A former General of the Empire, therefore his loyalty is questioned by the Returners… she was artificially infused with magic making her the one of the two (one is Terra) that can use/cast magic without equipping an Esper to her… she is also the only one character in the game (besides from Gogo’s Mimicry) that can drain/absorb magic used during a battle, through her technique…Runic…
Shadow – a paid assassin and mercenary, but in appearance, seems to more look like a ninja… His loyalty in the early of the game is also unsure because he only give service if the “price is right”… Making him join the party permanently is only optional… Has a mysterious identity and past that can be revealed via dream sequencesin the later part of the games…Like most of the ninja in Final Fantasy Series, his special technique is to throw weapons/scrolls in your inventory.
Cyan Garamonde - A noble knight of Doma Empire, the death of his family leads him in fighting the Empire.. He speaks in a style resembling Shaekspearean English… His class is a samurai… and his special ability is Bushido…
Gau – His class is Feral Youth.. A feral child that lives among the animals on the Veldt.. The only character in the game that can use skills/fighting techniques and acquire the penalties, bonuses, immunities and weaknesses of the enemies via his special ability, Rage…
Setzer Gabbiani – a carefree gambler that hides his tragic past. The lost of his soulmate haunts his now wealthy lifestyle.. A rich adventurer and risk-taker. He sometimes depends his decisions is flipping a coin…The character in the game that will provide you an airship… His special ability is Slot…
Strago Magus – a 70-year old descendant of the ancient Mage Warriors who fought the War of the Magi. Has a(n adopted) grand-daughter, Relm… His class is Blue Mage, and his special ability is Lore (Blue Magic)…
Relm Arrowny – A 10-year old artist. The adopted grand-daughter of Strago… She doesn’t know who are her real parents, but in a dream sequences of other character, it will be revealed… Her class is Pictomancer, and her unique ability is Sketch…
Mog – Mog is a… err Moogle… and his class is Moogle.. one of the optional character in the game and recruiting him is only optional.. The only moogle in this game that can speak human language. Mog’s special skill is Dance that changes the environment of the battle and randomly invokes one of four skills.
Umaro – A 4-year old yeti found in the isolated depths of the mines in Narshe.. One of the two secret character in the game… And can only be recruited if you recruit Mog. The only player that cannot use Magic and even Espers. His weapon is also fixed and also the only character in the game that cannot be controlled by the player…
Gogo – One of the secret character in the game… a mysterious stranger, completely shrouded in multicolored fabric, and trained in the art of mimicry. His/Her class is Mime and his/her ability is Mimic which allows him/her to copy the last action performed by any party member except Terra’s Transform… The only character in the game that you can customize his/her ability in battle… Gogo’s menu commands are also customizable, so that S/he can be assigned any three commands used by other characters in addition to his/her own Mimic ability. Gogo cannot learn magic, but S/he will have access to all the magic spells of the characters currently in the party if the player gives him/her the magic skill. Gogo can also be altered in the status screen to fill in the three empty action slots, it can use any skill available to other characters, even if they are not in the party.
With 14 different characters with different unique abilities… Mahirap imaintain na lahat sila ay mapalakas talaga, because merong mga part ng game na kailangan mo ng 3 parties… 4 member in each party, to finish a quest or a sidequest… Ang kinaganda ng game na ito ay merong mga sidequest para makilala pa ng mas mabuti ang mga characters… Meron ding mga Espers.. which is more known as Guardians sa mga more recent FF series… Syempre mawawala din ba ang chocobo? Kaya lang di masyadong significant ang part nila dito dahil they were just used here as another mode of transportation, at isa sa mga SLOT attack ni Setzer… To my own opinion, one of the best game played ito… Nakakapagbigay ngiti kapag pinapanuod ang mga scenes for each member ng game… I do recommend for you to try to play it, kahit alam nating mas maganda ang quality ng resolution at 3D na ang mga mas late na FF series… It’s the plot that counts… 
“It’s not the net worth of one’s life that’s important. It is the day to day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration of life… and love!” – Terra
Bumabagabag na katanungan:
1. Namatay kaya sa end sila Umaru at Gogo? Wala kasi sila dun sa almost the end part…
2. Paano naging master ni Umaru si Mog?
3. Ano ang gender ni Gogo?
4. Nakakarelate ka ba sa mga bumabagabag na katanungan ko?
Thanks to wikipedia and Final Fantasy VI site on the details that i have used in this entry
I HaTe MeGa MaN. He RuiNS eVeRYTHiNG…. -DR. WiLY
whew.. ang tagal na rin nung last post ko… Medyo busy kasi sa work…. ^_^
Actually month(s) na rin yata ang nakalipas since ng natapos ko ang Megaman 1 to 5 using an gameboy emulator sa hinihiram na PSP… as I said in my post na eNCouNTeR WiTH a FRieNDLY RoBoT…. Matagal na talagang panahon since natapos ko for the first time ang Megaman V…
Kung tutuusin parang same lang naman ang plot in every series ng game from 1-5, actually from 1-3 ata walang scenes before start ng game, parang kwento ba. Sa may 4 at 5 lang yung may scene, at sa sobrang swerte ko, Japanese ang language kaya di ko rin maintindihan ang conversation nila Dr. Light at ni Megaman before the start of the game… Basta play it parang naglalaro ka ng Super Mario, get to the end ng stage ng buhay… So ganito ang format ng gameplay, merong isang set, consisting of 4 stages with different bosses. In the end ng each stage, naghihintay yung boss for that stage, after you beat that boss, may maacquire kang new weapon, weapon usually na ginamit ng natalo mong boss… And the trick is, ang ibang boss enemy ay may weakness din na weapon from the other boss, e.g. Toadman is weak in Ringman’s Ring Boomerang, Ringman’s weakness is Pharaohman’s Pharaoh Shot, Pharaohman’s weakness is Brightman’s Flash Stopper and Brightman’s weakness is Toadman’s Rain Flush… At merong mga case na may nakukuha ka pang well i don’t consider as weapon pero makakatulong sa you in your jouney such as Rush’s Rush Jet, Rush Coil at Rush Marine. And along the way meron din naman nagbibigay sayo ng tulong in terms of giving you energy/weapon/both restorer, Eddie and Protoman…
Kung natalo mo na ang walong stages ng bosses, it is time for you to face the creator nila, si Dr. Wily, sa Megaman IV at V, during the last stage, makakalaban mo ulit yung 8 bosses na tinalo mo bago mo makalaban si Dr. Wily..Oh at meron din always 9th robot na considered na rin na boss, like in Megaman V, si Earth… After mo matalo si Wily, may scene to be watched yung chase nila Megaman and Wily, at ang pinakahuli lage na line is Thank you for Playing… Hinihintay ko nga kung ibabalik niya ako sa Title Screen o may Extra Scene or New Game+ pero wala eh… kailangang ireset o patayin na ^_^V
In my own opinion mas madali laruin yung Megaman III onwards dahil sa Megaman I and II, di pa nakakapagcharge ng Megabuster ang kaibigan nating robot… which is either mas maganda dahil mas may thrill…
Upon researching sa web… di pala sa Gameboy nagsimula ang Megaman series, sa NES pala… *evilgrin* nahanap ko din sila… Siguro lalaruin ko na yung First Megaman series pag natapos ko ng laruin yung nilalaro ko ngayong GBA games, yung One Piece at Final Fantasy VI, pineperfect ko pa kasi kaya natagalan ^_^V

Bumabagabag na katanungan:
1. Bakit kaya wala si Roll from Megaman I to V???
2. Bakit di close si Tango at Rush? Dahil kaya sa si Tango ay Robot na cat at si Rush ay aso naman??

Actually itong game na ito ay hindi ko alam kung paano at kailan napunta sa mga lists ng ROMs ko sa aking Emulator… Pero bago ko ito burahin, sinubukan ko muna laruin, hanggang sa ayun, natapos ko…
Pwede kang mamili kung anong gender ng character mo… Pero pareho din naman ang story, isa kang anak ng isang namayapang Craftslord at merong nalalapit na competition to search kung sino ang papalit sa kanya… Syempre ikaw yun… Pero dapat magumpisa ka sa pinakababa… maganda ito dahil step by step malalaman mo naman kung paano ito laruin at how it works… Ang pinagkaiba nito sa ibang games ay pwede kang mamili ng weapon na gusto mo: swords, axe, spear, knuckles or drill… Pwede mo rin imaster lahat at meron ding different types at elements… wind, water, electric and fire… Bukod sa elements meron ka ding partner na let us say spirit… katuwang mo siya sa paggawa mo ng weapon… you can choose between Kutty, Rasho, Sugar at Zantek,…. pero depende ang makukuha mong spirit sa isasagot mo sa summoner early of the game…
Kung susumahin there are 150+ types of weapons… To advance the game, dapat manalo sa tournament na ginaganap, pero along the way merong mga plot at subquests na dapat gawin… Right now natapos ko na yung kwento… Pero after ng credits, pwede mo pang ituloy ang laro to master and get the remaining weapons… Pero sadly medyo di ko na tinuloy dahil it really takes me time to complete the sets ng weapons… specially the elemental types.. pero para sa akin maganda ang game na ito… Pwede pang bata.. at sa mga batang isip katulad ko.. hekhek….
Bumabagabag na tanong:
1. Bakit ganun? Si Pratty at Sugar pinili ko… bakit attracted pa rin si Sugar kahit na alam niyang babae naman si Pratty..tsk tsk… tomboy???
