Intelliplay: Final Fantasy VI
|
Intelligamers -
We're starting the Super Nintendo classic Final Fantasy VI this week on the IG stream. This is many people's favorite Final Fantasy, their first Final Fantasy; maybe you played it as Final Fantasy III here in the US?
I can't tell you much about it because this is my first time playing it! But I know it has a twist that blew people's minds when it originally released, and many folks still find it incredibly impactful today. (Unfortunately, that twist has been spoiled for me, lol, but I'll spare you)
That said, this game's been one of my most requested playthroughs for years. Terra, who fights alongside others to repel a dictatorship, is a woman who has captivated players...just like the game's antagonist, the evil Kefka. It's a tale of loss, love, and redemption...which I know doesn't say a whole lot, but I'm trying to avoid spoilers so I'm not reading more about it. :D
This week, you can catch streams today, tomorrow, and Thursday starting at 9a Pacific/12p EST/5p BST on the Intelligame Twitch. If you can't catch the stream live, you can watch them on YouTube on the Intelligame VOD channel a couple days after the stream. We'll play through this game and discuss its themes, writing, and more...just like we do all our games for Intelligame.
I know there's going to be some amazing discussion, great laughs, and emotional moments on this next journey. Hope to see you there.
Keep Intelligaming,
-Josh
P.S. We usually create a new emote for each game we play! If you want to help choose what we use, be sure to swing by live.

Hey, you. Please VOTE (if you haven't already) Yeah, this is about voting...of course it is NOTE: please forgive me, as I've been posting a variety of places and not sending these newsletters out as I could/should be. In fact, it's possible the last time you saw a newsletter from me was Election Day two years ago. Sheesh. Let's talk about that another time? And if you'd like to see some more of my more-recent sporadic writing, you can follow me on player.gg. But I will be back here soon, and...
A Vote is a Chance to Make Change Yeah, this is about voting...of course it is I have a habit of putting together lengthy posts to try to make short points. And trust me, I'm still very much doing that...I'm working on one now. :) But because it's already getting close to polls closing in some states, let me just start over and be brief (or at least, my definition of it). please. I can ask nicely, sure I started Intelligame because I really, really, REALLY love games. But I also knew that I...
A Break and a Contest A bit of an announcement, then a chance to win a Playdate handheld! On Taking a Small Break from Streaming I think part of the reason that I was afraid to take a break from streaming was because it’d make me want more time off. Then I took that break two weeks ago…and now I’m going to be taking a month off. 😅 This week’s streams will be the last (scheduled) Intelligame streams for August. But it’s for good reason. Or two good reasons, rather! This edition of the...
