FFVI: I thought I was good at this game

[wallwalker]

So far, since starting to play FFVI again, I have done the following:

- Died horribly on the Veldt after going through the “Kefka powers up and gets the Magicite “sequence, and hadn’t saved after that cutscene. I think it was a Lich group that killed me. Darn zombies.

- Died again on the Veldt after picking up a ton of new Rages for Gau. (Lv. 5 Doom - Gau was my only character who wasn’t vulnerable and he was learning a new Rage at the time.)

- Died after the fight with the IAF and the landing on the Floating Island to a giant monster in a treasure box. Apparently I’d only thought that I had saved after landing, so I had to redo that fight as well.

- Died saving the kid in Tzen twice. I was right in front of the door when the clock ran out the second time.

- Had Cid die on me after one damn fish. Not a slow one, either.

- Died fighting tentacles in Figaro (after a long battle where Celes kept being picked up, tossed down, given barely enough time to heal herself, and picked up again.)

I do not remember ever having this much trouble with this game before. Must’ve lost my touch.

Cool! Which platform are you playing on? Is this a replay?
(Also crossposting is working, apparently! Yay! Looks like there are a few glitches to work out, though. I wonder if I can set it up to post everything under a readmore link, at least at first?)

I'm playing it on my PC. I've never finished it, so I'm hoping I can actually finish it this time. -laughs-

(You probably could. But don't quote me on that. :))

PC - I'm guessing that's the Steam release? I haven't bought that one; I've had the old Anthology (I think?) version on my PS3 for ages, so I'm playing that one. Although I'm at least familiar with the GBA version, I haven't had a device to play GBA games in ages.

Yup, it's through Steam. I only have a PS2 ATM, so it's the only way I can play it. I'm supposed to get Joe's NES and SNES, though.
