Andy who wrote the FFVI review also wanted to say the following about it...
"Incredibly, it was in November 2005 that I sat down and wrote this review. Sadly, it got lost along the way and sat in our submissions folder for too long. This wasn't anyone's fault - Gamestyle kept evolving and the tremendous amounts of work that everyone put in to make the site look as good as it does today meant that this particular review fell by the wayside.
For me, this makes my Final Fantasy VI review a very interesting piece, my lost review if you will. Before asking if the review could finally go up, I wondered whether it was worth re-visiting and re-writing. But I didn’t do this. What you can read is exactly what I wrote in 2005. Final Fantasy VI is one of my favourite games on any format and the review was one of the first dozen or so that I wrote. I’d like to think that I’ve improved as a writer over the last few years, even if only by a miniscule amount. But this review doesn’t make me cringe. Yes, there are places where I can see that I might have said things more clearly, or more importantly concisely, especially given my penchant for rambling. But I’m proud of the review and I think it holds up well even now. I hope you do too and I hope my review inspires you to share the experience of one of my most treasured games.
Gimmie some sugar baby!"
Retro is back on the agenda, so expect more returns and debuts from our retro banks and vaults from now onwards. Hopefully we'll also hear more from the GS team on this blog as well!
