Final Fantasy VI

Final Fantasy VI (aka III in America)- RPG. Super NES. This is my favorite game of all time. It has the best story, characters, music, and feel (I can't define a game's feel. Either you know what I mean or you don't. And a game either has it or it doesn't). It will remain my favorite, at least until I beat Xenogears. The story is probably best summed up by the words from the Opening scene:

Long ago, the War of the Magi reduced the world to a scorched wasteland, and magic simply ceased to exist.

1000 years have passed... Iron, gunpowder and steam engines have been rediscovered, and high technology reigns...

But there are some who would enslave the world by reviving the dread destructive force known as "magic."

Can it be that those in power are on the verge of repeating a senseless and deadly mistake?

Basically, people fought a war long ago with the help of magical beings known as Espers. The world was ravaged, and the Espers were sealed away, and magic disappeared from the world. Technology has reached an all-time high, and an evil kingdom known as The Empire has found a way to harness Magic once again. They are using it to conquer towns all over the world, and their greed is virtually unstoppable. The Empire has also been exploiting a mysterious young girl with magical powers, and she has broken free of their control. She joins up with an underground resistance movement called The Returners and attempts to overthrow Emperor Gestahl and his forces.

Edgar's twin brother, Sabin, abdicated the throne to become a martial arts expert.

Celes was once a General of the Empire, but is now working for the Returners.

Locke- I wouldn't mind being him. :-)

Setzer- okay, so his Dice and Card attacks suck, but he's a good character story-line wise.

Cyan, the Master Swordsman, vowed vengeance on the Empire when they poisoned his hometown and family
