Final Fantasy VI

Celes as Maria
Date played: December 7th
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 6/10

I only played a few minutes of FFVI, but it included one of the most memorable scenes in the entire series, the opera scene. Celes masquerades as Maria, the famous opera singer, during an opera in order to get in contact with Setzer, the owner of the only civilian airship in the world. This scene, in all it's 16 bit glory, still works.

Of course, the whole thing gets crazy with the intervention of the purple octopus dude we met earlier. Locke and friends end up fighting him right there on the stage! We met Setzer and with a bit of trickery, we managed to convince him to get us to the Imperial lands with his ship. We made a short trip towards the spot lights of the Imperial lands and are ready to explore it!
