lwelyk of The Gaming Dungeon takes a look at a very impactful scene from Final Fantasy VI. A scene that no other Final Fantasy game has equaled, let alone surpassed: Celes' attempted suicide.

Final Fantasy VI is my favorite game in the series. Even after all these years, none of the others can compare on a mechanical or narrative level with Final Fantasy VI. The narrative is especially impactful and well-written, even when compared to many games out today. There are a lot of issues that games just don’t touch, either out of fear of possible backlash or fear of failure. But on the rare occasion one of these issues is handled well in a mature way, you take notice. Unfortunately, we just don’t see this happen in games that often. Way back on the Super Nintendo, Final Fantasy VI did this very well in the form of Celes’ attempted suicide.
