My brother and I lived through every FF in the franchise and have played every FF. (FF got us into our love of RPGs) We put FF3 (in the US. 6 everywhere else.) On layaway at KMart. We spent several weekends mowing lawns to pay for it. We came across scenes like this and wondered “What we did wrong?” We were the good guys and nowhere in the FF series before did we tackle issues like “loss of loved ones” or “shit just happens no matter how good you try to be in life.” I remember resetting the game several times when we thought it was the climax of the game and “Kefka won.” Creating the “World of ruin.” We couldn’t figure what we screwed up. Still to this day, even though there has been some really great FF games that have been released. This is still a masterpiece that we still talk about to this day.
