Forgotten impact of Final Fantasy VI

[Seifer_Leonhart]

One of the Main character of Final Fantasy Vi is Celes, Aside from being warrior,She is able to disguise. She is able to pretend as an actress and opera singer.

On one of the segments of Final Fantasy 6, We controlled Terra as she was acting on a musical titled Maria and Draco.

These is a scene from the stageplay on the game.:

During Final Fantasy VI's popularity in Japan, Square enix decided to produce a real opera based on Maria and Draco. I cant find any footage anymore sadly. The opera was sadly in Italian. I hope someday Maria and Draco will become an actual broadway musical. I think a Broadway Musical is easier to market than an Opera.

This is a performance of the Opera, sadly not the actual play.


These are some covers of Aria Di Mezzo Carattere, The theme song of the play.


These makes me want a remake of Final Fantasy VI so much.

Thats nice that they included opera music in the Final Fantasy 6 game, because these games up until then just had simple melodies-and then with this game, they game out with these grand orchestral scores that really brought a lot of emotions out when playing this game.

Final Fantasy VI is one of my favorite series of the FF game and even till today I still play it when there are other good ones that are already out for gamers to enjoy playing with. I really was encouraged more to enjoy playing Final Fantasy VI because of the opera music inclusion in the game. This was one way to make the game more interesting and appealing to gamers.

They actually made an actual Opera in Japan. During the Popularity of 6. Imagine a Broadway musical version of Draco and Maria. I am desperately trying to find a footage of the play online.

This is an opera performance of Draco and Maria but I don't think it is the actual play since we see the musicians surround the singers and the singers don't wear costumes.
