I am officially disappointed in you SE

I'm glad.

The ability to suplex the Phantom Train was vaguely amusing at the time. Yet like so many jokes it became a dead horse that was brought back to life and beaten again and again and again.

I never found the Phantom Train iconic because of the suplex ability having a weird effect. I found it iconic because it was a bittersweet story arc in FF6 with great music and an unsettling atmosphere. I grinned like a fool when I saw the true fans of FF6 being catered to instead of the sort who want everything to be as ridiculous and contrived as Hildibrand's adventures.

So the people who can enjoy a little bit of comedy thrown into a more serious moment aren't true fans of FF6? Is that what I'm supposed to understand from this post? Because a lot of stories inject a little bit of humor into more serious parts of their story just to ease up on the tension a little bit before continuing to pile more on.

I fail to see how I'm not a "true fan" of FFVI because I can appreciate a good joke, intentional or otherwise.

If you were a 'true fan' you wouldn't be bothered by the lack of a dumb reference to the suplex thing since simply having the Phantom Train show up in the first place is what most people who enjoyed FF6 wanted to see. It's just a case of people being ungrateful.
