Final Fantasy VI Game Boy Advance: Out Today :o

[Po]

Not sure of all the answers to your question, but I know the reviews have said that the sound has taken a major hit by moving onto GBA.

[Exoduso]

I can't wait till my copy gets here... did they add any new cgi movies or anything? or same old PSX version + tweaked convos?

[Stilgar]

eeewww.... GBA SP's screen is dogshit. Play this game (or any GBA game) on a DS lite and it looks amazing in comparison.

[Bethany]

I have a GBA SP and I own mostly RPGs for it. I don't know if I want to spend another $30 on this when I have the SNES version a few feet away, even for the new espers. I don't know...someone give me a good argument. Is the music better/worse? Would almost rather see this game on a big tv than on the small GBA SP screen.

You could always get a Gameboy Player for your Gamecube if you have one to play on a big tv. I use mine a lot for when I don't want to play on the small screen.

I don't understand why you guys get everything shipped. Whats the point of throwing all the money away on shipping costs?

Tell me about it. I'm seriously debating taking the hit on my credit card to get a DS lite TODAY.

Shit. I just did. Black one too!

The only stores in my area are pretty big, which means they're pretty popular, which means that unless you reserve a game there's about a 1% chance you will find what you're looking for for the first couple of months.

I just order it online cus it makes my life easier... I ordered it with a black DS and FF3 from gamestop.com, since it was easier to obtain all 3 of them in 1 hit this way... and I only paid 10 bucks for the shipping, so IMO it was worth it (better than running around stores every day, trying to call each of them daily and checking to see if any of the three are in stock.)

For games I really want I usually reserve (I didn't think Wii Play would stop being reserved so early, so I missed it, but ordered it from their website heh), but since I couldn't reserve a DS this was the only way to go.

[Po]

I used to reserve but then I realized that the Best Buy "in store pickup" always worked better. It tells you if they have it in stock on the website which is really cool. I only get things shipped if it is the absolute last chance to get it, I hate paying shipping.

I haven't noticed much differences in the sound... I think it sounds pretty good to me <.< granted I only have sound on maybe 33% of the time, but it's nowhere near "OMG I CAN'T STAND THIS HORRIBLE MUSIC" quality.

I'm not very picky with music though. (or graphics for the most part, story+gameplay is all that matters)

Just entered the cave to the sealed door place, getting those 2 magicite at the auction was such a bitch, FUCK ANGEL WINGS

Yeah, the music sounds fine to me. Could be that it's been ~10 years and I used to play the SNES version on a Monaural TV though.

Note about translation:

NoA was in charge of censoring everything, we tried to get them to keep it as close to the original as possible. Some they did, some they didn't. They basically updated the FF: Anthology translation over FF3US.

I don't currently have the Anthology version available to me, but was the Vanish + Doom trick fixed in that version? As well as the Magic Evasion bug? Because they are fixed in the AGB version. >.>

The Anthologies version wasn't an updated story translation, all they did was rename the items. It's hillarious too because after you get Locke back in the WoR, he names off the loot he stole from the chests and he still says "Fenix Down" even though the items are all renamed. Lazy fucks.

I haven't gotten to Relm in the WoR yet but I'm willing to bet Chadernook is censored just like in the US SNES version since the esper models(Starlet and Siren) are as well. I'm still grumbling that they completely removed Celes' tortue scene. They have swearing in it but oh no, can't have a woman chained up and being beaten!

As far as the battle system goes in Anthology, it's just a port of the final SNES version so Vanish+Doom, the evade bug, and blindness bugs are all intact.

Believe me, we fought to keep it as close tot he original as possible. Nintendo just wouldn't keep the 'torture' scene in (didn't she only get hit or something tho, maybe that was just the NA SNES version?). Chardernook has a lots of clouds around her now, can't have the kiddies looking at a mostly naked body or something (I think they did the same to Siren, and something similar in FFV, however I was not on that project).

Yeah, Celes is just chained up and gets hit by one of the guards, nothing major. It was removed from the Japanese version on GBA as well(which is retarded) so we aren't alone in the censorship there. Is the Chadernook sprite the same as the Japanese one or is it the crazy remade one from the NA SNES cart? I knew they gave Siren hot pants heard they put a bra on Starlet, just like the NA SNES version.

Kinda OT, you work for NOA?

[Norelco]

Found my SNES power adapter...hehe...gonna play 4 and 6.

Guantanamo looks downright civil in comparison.

For those who complain about the cost of shipping, I'd suggest thinking about the money you're spending on gas when you pick it up. If your store is even 15 minutes away, odds are you aren't saving that much.

[Po]

It is a block away from my work, but I hear what you're saying, I just really don't like the cost or the prospect of waiting for it while it is en route.

[Huggo]

I am so fucked right now.

Stuck on the floating continent, no phoenix downs, a shit party because I had forgotten you're stuck there until just before Ultima Weapon, and I keep running into fucking ninjas with their every-5-seconds spamming of elemental scrolls. This is fucked.

[Kainstryder]

Just got my copy earlier today. I had a save file back in the day w/ a friend that we had everything done, down to missing like 5 rages and the 2 you couldn't get, due to a glitch.

All characters were 99, started training at dinosaur forest soloing w/ each w/ an esper equipped that best fit their abilities. Our Locke/Shadow were fucking speed freaks, the ATB bar was filled in a second :D

Going through now on the GBA on a no level gain mode up until WoR, then mass training w/ stat+ will begin!

Out of the litterally dozens of times that I've played VI from start to finish I've never really paid too much attention to stat building other than with Bahamut and Crusader to make sure people had max HP/MP but with this playthrough on GBA, I'm grinding stats with everyone. My Sabin is level 49 and his STR is 108 lol

[Pro]

I can't believe I actually bought a Nintendo DS Lite (Onyx ftw) just for FFIV and FFVI...Funny thing is, *every* store I called(gamestop, best buy, circuit city etc), only had like 8 Pink DS' and zero of everything else...I ended up calling Toys R' Us as a last ditch effort...and they had like 10 Onyx 10 White and a shitton Pink...lol...so snatched me a copy of FFIV FFVI and Zelda : link to the past.
