The Opera House Scene

[Locke4God]

You know the scene was ok, but I didn't really think it was this big staple scene that I hear people try to sell it up as. It was just a scene between one character and a NPC you never see again. The only reason you were there was to get an item so you could move to the ghost city. It didn't impact the realtionships of any of the characters and really wasn't very important at all. Esspecially not stacked against Aeries dying, or Tidus disappearing. Even in the same game I thought the scenes where Tera goes Esper, where you save Shadow, where Kefka poisons the water and all those people die, or where Tera was first taken from the Esper world were much much more important scenes.

I totally agree with this, but at the same time, I think that the scene was just incredibly well done. I've actually been replaying VI lately and even after all of these newer FF's, this is still one of the most beautiful scenes. I think it works so well because reading the words seems to have more meaning than just hearing them. My only problem with the PS1 version is that they didn't put the scene into CG, except for Celes dropping the bouquet in the 'press start' CG.

Plus, the way the current FF's have been going, you're bound to get some Japanese pop star singing the English version, and it would just get shot to hell.
