Final Fantasy VI - Ending (All characters, SNES version) 

One of the best video games ever made- hands down.

Man, even watching this as a 34 year old adult who beat this game so many times over already, this ending STILL makes me emotional to this day.

"And You" :'(

Finished this Masterpiece just a few minutes ago for the first time. What a beautiful ending! It really blow my mind.

It's 2020 and i just beat this game and saw this ending for the first time today. Truly incredible

9:26 -- I always choke up a bit at Terra's part. She's the character we've known the longest. She's come the furthest. And her ending is the most bittersweet, as she has to say a final goodbye to her father.

God this game has a DREAM TEAM of developers and creators that have gone on to even create there own major franchises like Xeno and Kingdom hearts. You just have to realize how this game was helmed by so many legendary figures in the video game industry. A true labor of love!

8:34 Celes' and Locke's themes fit together beautifully, just like they do! Another layer of Nobuo's attention to detail.

Love this ending. Shadow should have been revealed as Relm's father: "Shadow As...Clyde Arrowny" in my opinion! That would have been a shock to see that for those who didn't know their relation.

When I was about 14 I tried buying this game. I lived in a country where getting some SNES games was difficult. Long story short, I couldn't. Never got to play it until I was an adult, despite me always wanting to. In my twenties I got the emulator, but life got in the way and I had to make a long pause from playing and never finished it. I tried again a few years later and something similar happened. Finally, I bought the pixel remaster from steam a month ago. I finally finished it at 42 years old, today. And now I feel it was worth every damn second of it.

Shadow's part of the music is GODLIKE.

This game's ending made me cry... because the game was over, and I would never again find out what happens next.

8:11 This moment makes me shed a tear EVERY single time. So beautiful. And the way Nobuo Uematsu intertwined Celes's theme with Lock's... brilliant!

I cried tears of joy when I beat this as a child in the early 00s because it took me multiple tries on multiple new cartridges to beat. My best friend and I did it together. I cry tears of happiness now remembering those memories that this game gave me.

Now THAT'S how you end a goddamn video game.

22:25 - Terra: "Celes, come do the Titanic thing with me! ... Celes?" Celes: "I'm not doing that." Terra: "Pft. Spoilsport."

11:16 Manly tears were shed from this segment 😢😢😢

the transition between Celes and Locke's theme is... just... awesome!

20:14 -- The feels really start when the series' Main Theme / Prologue kicks in.

This is still the greatest rpg of all time imo.

"I will not let go. I promise" Damn. Damn! Damn!

This this right here my most favorite game ever. I can play it over and over. I was 14 when I beat this bad boy back in 94. When I die this whole ending will be played and I will be buried with a copy of ff6.

Considering the size of the actual map, that airship just circled the planet like 30 times

The moment when Shadow's Theme kicks in is what I always wait for in this piece and it never dissapoints!👌

The FF game that truly needs a remake

I'm crying and I can't stop crying, help

I finished Final Fantasy 6 a couple months ago for the first time going in completely blind, and every time I return to this cutscene I genuinely start crying. The characters in this game are so well developed that I genuinely feel the emotions in the scenes. The characters are all so unique but also flawed in their own ways. They're written so well they feel like real people, and the game's willingness to touch on dark topics helps add to that. You really feel like these characters have overcome a monumental force at the end. This cutscene is a culmination of this game's incredible storytelling, showing you how each character has grown. The music is perfection here and adds so much to the scenes... The way Locke and Celes' leitmotif join together gives me chills... and the way the Relm's motif transitions into Shadow to hint at their connection. The way the track goes so quiet then let's out the melancholic melody before showing what Shadow does literally brings me to tears every time I see it. Watching him sit amongst the wreckage of the tower telling Interceptor to go while the music builds. This is what truly incredible storytelling is like. The way this game continually builds these characters throughout the story and it all culminates here, showing how they're coping/feeling with all they've experienced. Some handle it all better than others, but at the end of the day that's what makes them so real. Not all of them are okay with what's happened to them. I think this ability to be grounded in reality and showing the grittiness of the real world is what sets FF6 apart as being one of, if not, the greatest RPG ever made.

I'm a 40 year old who hasn't played video games since I was in high school. This still gets me genuinely choked up.

I love that the villain of this game is basically nihilism incarnate. The heroes are literally fighting for the proposition that life is worth living. I love how in the ending we see life-affirming visuals like Katryn giving birth, the once-barren wastelands giving rise once again to endless green, Sabin protecting his brother and Relm carrying her beloved Grandpa on her back. I absolutely love the moment when Terra lets her hair down. She's decided where she wants to be, and who she wants to be, and the rest of her life is hers to live, from that moment on. Final Fantasy 6 is a masterpiece.

1:07 - First Part 13:02 - Second Part 20:13 - Classic FF Ending Music Part

I've just done it...Why on earth did not play before?!? Mother of god.....Masterpiece

It's nice to see Shadow give the finishing blow on Kefka. It's a perfect way to avenge General Leo.

I finished FFVI for the first time 30 minutes ago. FFVI is my first Final Fantasy game. I must rewatch the ending. Here I am.

THAT is an ending

This is not only my most favorite Final Fantasy game, but one of the games I treasure the most in all of gaming history. Next to Super Metroid and Shenmue.

15:00 The build up and crescendo to Setzer's theme is just epic.

Final Fantasy VI, despite the release of many great JRPGs in the 20 years it has been out, is still firmly in my top 5 RPGs of all time. Till this day, the ending always makes me smile with nostalgia.... truly a masterpiece!

True story....I imported this game from america through a game shop in the UK back in the 90s. I played it with a converter cartridge and loved it. When I got to the end credits, the screen went black with the music still playing. After putting so many hours into it...was gutted. Must have been some issue with the converter cart. I went back to the shop and the owner let me redo the end battle and watch it on her US import SNES. Took ages to watch it and she was getting impatient at the end...lol. superb game though. They dont make games like this anymore.

All these years later... and I _still_ can't unsee Edgar flipping us off. This ending is beautiful, but in that one moment; I always fail to hold back a giggle.

This is the most triumphant ending in FF history.

I cried to complete it, every time I see it, I get the joy and peace that is at that end, in all your adventure you lived and gave. More with the song of THE END. I love FF SAGA

watch the ff6 ending without getting goosebumps challenge

Never once have I or since felt part of a living story like I did when I played this beautiful game. And no matter how many times I’ve played it over nearly three decades I still get misty eyed at the ending when the book mentions the player as being part of this story.

This ending always makes me cry but right now its all of the comments here that are really getting me. Thank you everyone u are all amazing to have the capacity to appreciate this masterpiece on such a deep level This game means soo much to me!! 🙏🙏🙏

Beat that game in 1994 and all the magic moments are still fresh 26 years later. Incredible!

I'm 37, I'm a product of rape and I've been through more abuse/death/divorce than I'd like to admit... Why am I crying so much? ...I think I just need a hug.

15:00 "Didn't I say it before?! This is the world's fastest ship!" - epic music

It's horrible how the mobile/steam version ruined the timing of the music in this scene(and the opera) and Square never bothered to even attempt to fix it. People justifiably rag on that version's visuals, but it fails even to capture the essence of even the most basic things from the original.

After 3 months of playing this game and beating it for the 1st time, I'd says it's the best game I've played. It can make you cry. I wish I can play it again.

The JRPG to judge all other JRPGs by.

those transitions between each characters' theme and sequence needs to be a masterclass of itself.

The Best Final Fantasy of all.

25 minute ending sequence. Be lucky to get 5 minutes in a modern game.

23:58 , that's when you smile and said to yourself. "I did it"

Squaresoft were on their own level back then. But, as everything else, it came to an end.

This ending always gets me. This is my favorite game ever. The ending is the best. Especially with all characters. Best soundtrack, best story, best Final Fantasy. Hands down, no argument. Best game ever. First game to ever make me cry. Phoenix scene with Locke and Michele, and you'll see. Absolute gold. FF7 isn't even close.

The clouds/ground/ship scene really pushed to the limit the capabilities of the SNES system, back in the day.

And the whole game is squeezed into less than 4mb of program data. Wow!

This feels good and “nostalgic” to watch again because you were a more creative, passionate human back when you first experienced this story. It’s characters , their struggles and relationships felt real because you cared more about what you could create and less about how to get by in a corporate capitalist drone world. Remember this: you can still dream and be bold and inspire, but you need to start with the inner child you have in there. You got this.

Best ending ever in a video game

9:00 Wait...did James Cameron rip off FFVI for Titanic?!?!?!

Graphics of Mode 7 in the final movie is stunning.

a true masterpiece i am sick of people overfucking rating 7 and making shitty sequels instead of this beauty who doesnt need sequels or anything like that, this is just damn perfect

20:14 goosebumps when the FF theme kicks in

If by "Slighty bittersweet," you mean by almost all the espers ceasing to be, then yeah, that's slightly.

Just finished ff6.. I wish they will do a remake of this one. my new favorite ff game.

back in the summer of 1995,I used to finish FF6 everyday to enjoy the BEST GAME ENDING ...EVER

this ending is still so good, over 30 years later

I can say that this one got the most touching and epic ending of all endings! I would love to have Terra and Celes scenes more and by the way... When will the game devs let Terra have her significant other aside from Locke and Celes ship??! I wonder who might be..😉😉😉

I finished this game for the first time this year after years of starting the game and putting it off, and I'm genuinely super upset with myself for never finishing this game until now. An absolute masterpiece, what a perfect sendoff to this game.

I'M NOT CRYING YOURE CRYING!!!!

Relm, Shadow and Gogo - gotta say that's a unique last team :D

WOW! What a masterpiece. I played this on the SNES Classic and decided I'd give it a go out of curiosity. I have never played a Final Fantasy before but I am so glad this one was my first. I fell in LOVE with the game and was so invested in everyone and it's epic story. I'm so impressed it holds up spectacular considering how old it is! When the credits rolled and went by everyone we met and played their themes, I'm not gonna lie, I seriously got teary eyed. Bravo, just bravo.

Man, when Terra lets the wind blow in her hair you know the team felt accomplished in their mission to save the world from Kefka. Just another beautiful moment in Final Fantasy history.

My favorite part of the ending theme starts at 15:07, the airship song.

That transition between Relm's and Shadow's theme

I'm here because of this tweet. "Hironobu Sakaguchi said that he added a scene of a child being born to the ending of Final Fantasy VI because of the birth of his daughter"

One of the best Final Fantasy final scenes

Best ending ever in my opinion.

This really made my 44 year old self cry like a baby. Oh the sweet memories......

Wait, how is it possible to feel nostalgic for a game I beat for the first time yesterday? I don’t get it

Poor shadow

such an amazing casts best of all FF

Goat! Happy 5 years since you posted this! This ending is so great

YESSSSSSS TERRA !!!! 💚💚💚 22:23 you dead ass deserve that freedom ! Just finished beating FF6 for the first time and this game is incredible 😭😭😭

Wow, the new world of balance is a great additive...

best game of all time

20:15 : Original Final Fantasy theme starts here!

I cry every single time I watch this.

11:10 goosebumps button

4:16 chills everytime

My #1 all time favorite game. The way watching this takes me back to when I was a kid. It's such a unique feeling that you don't get that often. It's a wave of emotions. Reading these comments it's amazing how many people this game has touched.

The most human final fantasy

never played this but someone said this epilogue had a great accompaniment to it as all the characters have their final curtain call, i had to come look at it man these old snes game ending really make me nostalgic somehow

This really shows that 6 needs a remake. These little character moments are excellent and really helps that human feeling they were going for with this games characters. Unlike 4 or 5, 6 did not reach it's fullest potential, aspects within the game itself absolutely deserve to be expanded on, this games credits shows such passion for the characters, especially knowing who wrote what characters you see how they treat them here, also highlighting every characters excellent theme. I would have loved to see how Gau grew up in the wild, maybe his growing awareness that he isn't a beast like the others. Showing Strago's and Shadow's history, Shadow has the potential to star in a whole game of his own, honestly. Giving Gogo the fun that his character needed, stuff like him mimicking the party in optional cutscenes or returning the cut sidequest with him.

When i was young i never noticed all the hints the games drop that may be Relm's father (or at least related). From how Interceptor acts around her to same house in one of Shadows dreams. It was until recently that I realized that the character order in the credits is deliberate, and groups those with connects together. Edgar and Sabin, Locke and Celes, and Mog and Umoru. Then they dont but Relm and Strago back-to-back, but instead put Shadow in the middle giving a last piece of a puzzle to contemplate.

am I only the one that thinks this is the probably the best final fantasy in the series? I didn't play7,9 10 or newer, I didn't even play 2, but this is probably the best one, anyone play all entire series chime in?

Finally finished the game, man, what a journey. It's so sad that there will never be another FF game as good as this one.

16:58 This crescendo right here gets the hairs on my arms stand salute every time I hear it. Eversinse the first time in fall of -94. We had never before heard such an arrangement on a midi based console game. This ending is all in all 24 minutes long. It was the gift that just kept on giving and this part was where Uematsu be like ”oh you think this is intense? How about we crank it up another 100%??” It’s an overload of joy. I will never forget this game. In fact it’s now in a glass display cabinet next to Chrono Trigger. If i wanna play it I have it on my phone, as well as on my SNES Mini. In 20-30 years I will be playing in my room at the retirement home.

Best final fantasy series
