Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).
I watched a few making of and other types of history videos about the series.
I’d love to see those.
The only one I could find was about them cutting Magus’s storyline out since the whole game, start to finish, tied directly into it, did so from the beginning, and would have required an immense amount of writing for a non-primary character, which is why they gave him a mask.

Interesting. Thank you for finding that. I guess the videos I watched were wrong. I couldn’t tell you what videos they were, it’s been a long time.
There has been a great deal of speculation down through the years. Some of these interviews weren’t translated until relatively recently, so for a long time all we had was speculation.
