History Awesome / FinalFantasyVI

** What makes this more awesome is how Setzer who was previously shown [[DrowningMySorrows drinking in depression in an inn]] not only overcomes his sadness thanks to a pep talk by [[DareToBeBadass Celes of all people]] but leads the team to their chance of hopeful return using the same ship that his previous love Darill had crashed and died some time ago that caused him so much tragedy, essentially overcoming both his past and current tragedies to save the world.

-->'''Kefka''': '''"Sickening! You all sound like chapters from a SELF-HELP BOOKLET!"''

** Let's not forget him slaughtering countless Espers almost effortlessly and killing General Leo just shortly after more or less mind raping the guy. "How about a lil' Magitek mayhem!?"

* During the Siege of Doma, Cyan steps out of the palace. Alone. He then proceeds to ''slaughter the entire Imperial detachment''. '''Alone.''' (You only ''need'' to kill the commander, but who would consider passing this up?)

** Just look at how many people have said the scene made them cry, and realize the people behind the game were able to elicit that kind of emotional response over a situation that's ''not even real' within the game itself!

** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u84cH_bmTA&feature=player_embedded put it best]]: '''[[MemeticMutation MOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN.]]'''

* The second Humbaba fight is Terra's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. During the first fight with Humbaba, we find that the year's worth of emotional turmoil Terra has gone through, coupled with her inability to truly understand the emotion of love, has robbed her of her Esper powers, leaving her indescribably weak, and easy prey for Humbaba. After a while, the party comes back to defend Terra and the orphans from a second Humbaba attack. When a party member is blown away by Humbaba, Terra shows up, and without a word, goes Esper. The following fight has Terra in Esper Mode ''for the entire fight!'' In other words, the most awesome example of a MamaBear ''ever''. It helps that it's immediately followed by a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} and Terra re-joining the party with a souped-up Morph.
* When all seems lost, and [[AfterTheEnd the world is dying]], Setzer reveals one final hope: the ''Falcon'', the long-sealed [[GlobalAirship airship]] of his lost love, Darryl. After walking down a long staircase deep in her tomb, throughout which Setzer narrates her tale, the scene switches back to the surface, and the golden ship rises from the ocean as [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic "Searching For Friends"]] starts up, forever replacing the gloomy world map theme of the World of Ruin.

** For more Shadow awesome: when Kefka has your party trapped and paralyzed on the floating continent, he swoops in, undoes the paralysis, traps Kefka, and tells you to run. Epic.

* Many players viewed Kefka's [[{{Woolseyism}} hilarious and Genre Savvy]] response to the heroes' sappy and melodramatic final morality speech at the end of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' to be his SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome.

* During the Siege of Doma, Cyan steps out of the palace. Alone. He then proceeds to ''slaughter the entire Imperial detachment''. '''Alone.''' (You only ''need'' to kill the commander, but who would consider passing this up?)

* Celes - who has recently rejoined your party after a good while - shows up on the Floating Continent. Kefka hands her a sword and says all of her treason will be forgiven if she kills her comrades. She mulls it over for a few seconds, then refuses in the most direct way possible - by stabbing Kefka instead. It doesn't kill him, but ''damn'' was it cool to watch.

*** Only [[SuikodenII Prince Luca Blight]] had that honor. Until now.

* Any time you fight Kefka is a good time. It's so satisfying beating up the villain you LoveToHate.

** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] put it best: '''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u84cH_bmTA&feature=player_embedded MOTHERFUCKER SUPLEXED A TRAIN.]]'''

* The Opera - particularly, Aria de Mezzo Carattere. There's a reason why it's the picture for the VideoGames' SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic page, and why it's considered one of the most famous scenes in the history of video games: '''''it's just that damn good.'''''

* So you've just rescued Relm from the burning house in Thamasa, and it seems that you're trapped, right? Cue Shadow, swooping in and saving your bacon.

* When you re-encounter [[TheBigGuy Sabin]] in the World of Ruin, he's holding up a burning mansion on his shoulders, and even has time for a casual chat, including the famous line "Ha, did you think a little thing like the end of the world was ognna do me in?"

* [[TheBigGuy Sabin]] holds up a building so you can rescue the people inside of it.

** Many RPGs let you fight the end boss with your entire party. Kefka lets you take more than that. He lets you form ''three'' parties to take him on. And, just like almost everyone in your party, he was born a normal man.

* Many players viewed Kefka's [[{{Woolseyism}} hilarious and Genre Savvy]] response to the heroes' sappy and melodramatic final morality speech at the end of ''FinalFantasyVI'' to be his CrowningMomentOfAwesome.

* The second Humbaba fight is Terra's CrowningMomentOfAwesome. During the first fight with Humbaba, we find that the year's worth of emotional turmoil Terra has gone through, coupled with her inability to truly understand the emotion of love, has robbed her of her Esper powers, leaving her indescribably weak, and easy prey for Humbaba.

** And everything he did during the siege of Doma. To Cyan's fans, that wound up being his MoralEventHorizon, of course.
** Also, let's not forget him slaughtering countless Espers almost effortlessly and killing General Leo just shortly after more or less mind raping the guy. "How about a lil' Magitek mayhem!?"

* The Opera, particularly, Aria de Mezzo Carattere. There's a reason why it's the picture for the VideoGames CrowningMusicOfAwesome page and it's also one of the more famous scenes in all of video games: ''it's just that damn good.''
* There's one near the beginning of the game: Edgar, king of the highly industrial Figaro Castle, wakes up to find his castle on fire and Kefka demanding Terra. When all seems hopeless, the two of them and Locke jump from the castle onto speeding chocobos on the ground. As if that wasn't enough, as they're racing away from the castle Kefka can only watch as the castle itself '''sinks into the sand beneath him'''.
