It Was Better When (Final Fantasy 6/Suikoden II)

Final Fantasy 6 was better when it was called "Suikoden II."

Both games star a blank slate...


and their boyfriend

* **

*in canon
**in fan fiction

They are at first in the employ of a corrupt empire...


But a betrayal occurs, leading to their escape.


They are pursued, but aided in their escape by a group of obnoxiously cute characters...


and end up in the custody of a resistance force...


led by a charismatic knight...


and a beefcake.


They soon come in contact with a cartoonishly over-the-top villain...


But find themselves outclassed and are forced to flee as their fortress burns around them.


A high-ranking officer of the Empire soon betrays their masters...



And the emperor makes a foolish mistake,  paving the way for his assassination...


and the rise of his maniacal underling, who unleashes a cataclysmic power to cement his reign.


The party is then divided...


and they wage their separate battles, eventually ending in tragedy.


but also a tearful reunion.


And then the evil power is defeated...


And the world is... kind of saved?


So there you have it.
