Huge FFVI fan... will I like this?

[Grampire]

I love Final Fantasy VI (Played FF3 on SNES to death) but I've never heard about the Saga series. The screenshots remind me a lot of FFVI, how different is this from that and is it a comparable experience?

Thanks for responses in advance!

Well saga is open world and much lighter in characterization, so not very similar to ff6.

FF6 is my favorite JRPG. This game is amazing but not on that level. RS3 is more open and the story isn't as intense as FF6. Still worth trying for a JRPG fan.

I think it's similar to the second half of FF6 in the World of Ruin, which was more open-ended in terms of story and world exploration. Did you like that?

There are different gameplay systems, but the comparison is valid.

Also, it's not like there is zero story. You do get relevant character scenes.

Thanks for responses.

While I loved FF6's story, the gameplay and party building part of it was what I loved most. Plus exploring the world of ruin was a lot of fun too.

Sounds like this might be something I'm interested in. I'll check it out!

"Scarlet Grace" is a "more battle specific" version of this game.

I'd definitely say this is more battle-oriented. FF6 is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, but I'll admit I lean mostly towards gameplay-oriented JRPGs such as the SaGa series. Party building here leans heavily on who you start with and the places you decide to go.

The poster above me mentions Scarlet Grace being more battle-oriented, but that's not out for another month and, well.. honestly, I feel this is a better starting point into the series as a whole.

Should I have played the other parts before that?

Since you loved final fantasy 3 you'll love that one.
Because you seem to love grinding so you'll like even more that game if it's not about grinding.
