anclunn Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 sorry for all the acronyms. Final Fantasy 6 was supposedly released today on the game boy advance. I'm snowed in. Anyone tried it? Is it better than the old super nintendo version I'm used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AarowSwift Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 I'd like do know how it is too. I've never played more than a few hours of this and am considering picking it up since I missed it originally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 It ships today, comes in tomorrow. I'll be picking it up tomorrow, although right now I'm busy with Wario Ware Smooth Moves and FFIII DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathtank Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I dont understand, why in the GBA and not in the DS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Porting and tweaking existing games from the 8- and 16-bit consoles to the GBA is easier than completely redoing them from scratch for the DS. And don't tell me how good it is. I can't but any new games for another four months, and it's already killing me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajLink Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well i just picked it up. For the most part it is the same game. Though there are a few differences that eventhough they are very small still kinda bug me. For instance, instead of learning Antidote, you learn Poisona. Also the soundtrack sounds close to the same, but the main battle theme as well as the boss theme sound a little weird to me. Another thing is i feel as though the encounter rate is higher, but i could just be imagening things there. The biggest change i have noticed after starting is now there is a dash button, just like in all the other GBA FF's. So even after you find/buy the sprint shoes, with the dash you move even faster. To some this might be nice, but i still like doing it the old fashion way without using it, and then sticking to the sprint shoes. Other than that it is very close to the game we have all learned to love but in the end i am going to have to prefer Final Fantasy 3 for my SNES over this GBA one.

Fire in the Hole Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 If they didn't keep Kefka's mannerisms intact then it's not worth purchasing. Otherwise, dump your spare cash into this sucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobwillis Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm looking forward to the new translation. I get the feeling that Woosley's will still reign supreme, but at least it will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fudd Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I dont understand, why in the GBA and not in the DS? 'cause they can sell more this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I don't know. There are lots of DSs out there. They could make just as much on either portable. Honestly, it's the laziness. Porting to GBA is just easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ab56 v2 aka Ash Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I really wish they would have ported it to the DS, since it has better sound quality (or at least I assume). When I saw a part of the Japanese version of FFVI Advance, the battle music sounded horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I bought the Japanese version while I was abroad, and it's quite lovely. Unfortunately it's currently been supplanted by Yggdra Union Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkwing Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I bought the Japanese version while I was abroad, and it's quite lovely.Unfortunately it's currently been supplanted by Yggdra Union I recieved Yggdra Union for x-mas but ive been too busy with Magical Starsign and FFIII. Can you tell me what you like about Yggdra Union (and what you dont like)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblazer1224 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Now that this is out I'm planning on picking up Final Fantasy Anthologies (FFV and FFVI) instead. I heard the load times are annoying but I found it on Amazon for about $15! With Anthologies you get the soundtrack CD and the cutscenes so I'm sold.

Kanthos Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I never got a soundtrack CD when I played Anthology a few years ago. Yes, you get cutscenes, but I'd say it's not worth it for the longer load times. You can probably download the cutscenes somewhere too.

Triad Orion Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Now that this is out I'm planning on picking up Final Fantasy Anthologies (FFV and FFVI) instead. I heard the load times are annoying but I found it on Amazon for about $15! With Anthologies you get the soundtrack CD and the cutscenes so I'm sold. Yeah, I wouldn't do that. I played anthologies and the load times, at least as far as I was concerned, killed all the fun of the game for me. While a three to five second load time may not sound that bad, believe me, when you get it for *every single battle* the time and monotony really starts to pile up. I'd say go with the GBA versions, even if they cost more. Plus, they're portable and both feature a Dash button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yeah, it's probably better to go with the GBA versions simply because of load times. Also, the Anthologies bonus music CD was fairly crappy (no Battle With Gilgamesh? Who the fuck voted on the tracks?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcom Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I heard they removed a number of Kefka's classic lines like, "Son of a submariner!" and "Run! Run! Or you will be well done!" Is this true? If so it makes me very sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanthos Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 "Edgar, you pinhead! Why do you have to live in the middle of nowhere?" FF VI definitely had the most memorable quotes of any FF game. Here's a few others. "Look at me! I'm a receptionist!" "You sound like chapters from a self-help book" "I'm a general, not some opera floozy" "Yeouch! Seafood soup!"

Triad Orion Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 "I'm a general, not some opera floozy" And then like two minutes later, she's practicing like she'd been doing it for years. Ah, classic. I just hope they don't change the tone of the game. A lot of those really funny lines were what helped it stay away from being an angst-fest. If the new localization does that for the game, someone at SquareEnix is going to be injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Time Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Now that this is out I'm planning on picking up Final Fantasy Anthologies (FFV and FFVI) instead. I heard the load times are annoying but I found it on Amazon for about $15! With Anthologies you get the soundtrack CD and the cutscenes so I'm sold. The load times are worse than almost any game I've ever played. Also, it froze for me a lot, but I think my disc was scratched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
