Okay, so Final Fantasy Sonic X6 is one of those weirdly addictive Flash games that somehow feels more like an animated RPG than a typical browser time-waster. The first time I played, I expected janky controls and half-baked mechanics, but nope—it’s surprisingly polished, with cinematic cutscenes and actual depth to the combat. You pick moves from a menu, almost like a turn-based JRPG, but everything’s slick and fast-paced.

The art’s a bizarre but cool mashup of Sonic and Final Fantasy, with these dramatic camera angles and flashy special attacks. And yeah, there are so many scenes—some are quick fights, others play out like mini-missions with dialogue and choices. I got stuck for way too long on the forest level because I kept missing a hidden path (hint: "jungle" is your friend).

Oh, and those codes? Lifesavers. "Aftermath" unlocks a brutal post-boss fight sequence, and "deception"… well, let’s just say it changes everything in the later acts. Just don’t expect to finish this in one sitting.
