Looks as if Square hasn't forgotten about the types of games that got them here. The answer to the "will they still do smaller games " question was pretty obvious. But it's good the could confirm with an answer for concerned gamers.

I always get strange looks like "Are you stupid or what?!" when I say, the best video game ever is...

FINAL FANTASY VI (or III in the US).

And I would never guess, who is going to back up me on this:

The Angry Video Game Nerd.

At first I was skeptical, almost frightened: Will he destroy my favorite game in his usual super cynical ways?
Well, he didn't. He did in fact such a good praise, I couldn't do better. IN ALL ASPECTS!
I truly have never seen a more fair and all things covering homage to that OUTSTANDING game.
The opera scene is there. The suicide scene (which almost made me quit the game) is there. Everything that matters is there. But still no real spoilers. There is even praise for that other HUGE SNES game out there – Chrono Trigger – which btw. originally was meant to be the successor of Final Fantasy VI (which was Final Fantasy III in the US - yes I mentioned it, but not that this happened because Nintendo US was stupid, and this in so many ways).

And say what you want about the AVGN , this is damn well done, even if you don't agree.

And if you aren't familiar with the old™ Final Fantasy franchise – here are my "must play" recommendations (in order of "well doneness"):

* Final Fantasy VI (III in the US, did I mention this?) / SNES
* Final Fantasy VII / PS1
* Final Fantasy IX / PS1
* Final Fantasy X / PS2
* Final Fantasy V / SNES
* Final Fantasy XII / PS2

Everything after XII, even the FFVII remake sucks. Stay away!

And because it was on the way to become Final Fantasy:
* Chrono Trigger
(it didn't because [one reason] the game mechanics are way too different)

I have two links for you: The original Youtube and an Invidious instance (sometimes those instances fail, but I'd recommend it anyway, because it is not Google):

PS: Yes, I know, there where some "enhanced" reeditions on the PS1 and other consoles, sometimes with stupid 3d remodeling. But they left out the strippers in the remake. Yes the strippers. Don't get a victim of censorship. Don't fall for the stupid anime movies added later. Go for the SNES original!
