Unforgettable: An Operatic Interlude in Final Fantasy VI

I recently dove into Final Fantasy VI for the first time ever and can’t say I’m not feeling a little teary-eyed as its finish line closes in. I simply don’t want it to end. (And yet, of course I do, because Kefka has to be stopped!) Before FFVI, I don’t know what I’d have picked…
