    FFVI on which platform?

    Planning on replaying FFVI when I have nothing to do on my phone. Which gives a better experience SNES or GBA?

    GBA if you can stand the slightly-butchered music, which apparently there's a user-made patch out to make more in line with the SNES original.

    Otherwise, SNES.

    I prefer PSN. However, since playing it on an SNES emulator with a speed-up button... hard to go back.

    As much as I love the old games, I don't think I could play a lot of them without emu speed up buttons.

    Remember that GBA emulators also have speed-up buttons.

    SNES = Virtual Console > GBA > PSN/PSX

    If you want load times and awkwardly thrown in FMVs that haven't aged well, sure.

    Don't really need it for FFVI since you crank the battle speed.

    GBA with music patch is the best version.

    Yeah GBA overall has the best translation and tons of extra content including new dungeons, bosses, summons and magic as well as gear.

    I like the GBA version best because I find the game lends itself so well to a handheld experience (even without the music being perfect). However, playing the original is still a joy. Sadly, a 3DS remake, if it's really a remake, will totally force me to buy a 3DS.

    My girlfriend asked if it was over the line to buy the Scott Pilgrim color editions since she had them all in black and white. So I told her how many times I've bought FFVI.
