I can usually remember games okay, but I played Final Fantasy VI right up to the final boss castle, and a year on the entire plot has basically escaped my brain. So I went to check my save file, which broke and neither MGBA nor VBA-M will load. FFVI removed itself from my brain wholesale.

I think Final Fantasy and JRPGs in general have a way of losing people because plot points are spread so far apart from one another. Spend a couple hours running through a dungeon and unless you're paying real close attention you might forget why you entered it in the first place.

And yet FFVI is such a drag-you-by-the-nose cutscene simulator.... I can recall more of FFIV, I dunno.
