This is still the best Final Fantasy Game ever made. If you've never played it, you don't know what an RPG really is.

A eternal classic

Final fantasy 6 is one of the best games of all time in my opnion. It revolves around the history of Terra, a hybrid girl that can do magic, despite the fact that nobody has been able to do it for ages...

She begins as a mind enslaved person for the biggest Empire of the World, but soon she regains control of herself, but dont really know who she is. Then, she meets a rebel group who wants to oppose the Empire, and while the history goes on, we meet more and more interesting playing characters. And ff6 is all about them: you'll meet very well written stories, and you'll get attached to most of them.

Even though many people were disappointed with the fact that FF6 was released for GBA. But not me! I dont own a DS =PPP

Anyway, the game had its improvements, and I seriously think that this is one of the best RPGs I've ever played.. I remember spending many nights playing this on my SNES.. and now i can play it on my gba... very good to waste important time of my life!! hahah

So, buy it!

Sometimes they simply get it right.

The storytelling in this game is superb, and sets the standard for the final fantasies and many other rpgs to follow. It's a rare combination where you can fall in love with all the characters, play through multiple versions/endings/choices, and genuinely feel like you've been through an adventure in the grandest sense.

I recommend this game for anyone who has ever had an imagination and dared to wonder about the powers of magic.

SNES version is still better in terms of the sound quality

I can't wait for Amazon's delay on shipping my FFVI Advance, so I downloaded the rom and tried it on my GBA. Guess what, the sound is not as good as the SNES! At the beginning of the game, the noise of the wind was so unique and it was also used for Chrono Trigger. Where is the high pitch wind noise in GBA now? It sounds like ocean waves in GBA! Bad! Bad!

Other than the downgraded sound quality, I have no doubt that this is my favourite FF game so far. It has great storyline, music, and character development compare to any FF on the market. I really love this game to be on a portable device, so I can ignore any kind of pixels from the dated graphics using a small screen HAHA.

If you are a collector, this FF is a must get item. If you never played Final Fantasy series, I strongly recommend you should give this a try, then you will understand why FF is so popular. Then for those who have played it, you should still play it, because it has bonus materials and it loads a lot faster than PSone version excluding the nice videos of course.

EXTREMELY Overrated

I have play every single Final Fantasy game out other than 2, X-2, and XI, and this is by far my least favorite. Not to say that it sucks, because I know I am in the minority, but hear me out.

1. If you want nostalgic effect, go ahead and play this game. You may like it because of your bias.

2. Final Fantasy V did a better job of AP distribution. Although what makes FF VI good is that you keep whatever you learn in terms of spells, you can only use summons once per battle (when they aren't even that helpful), magic is easily better than weapons, and only a few characters will have a high enough magic stat to make it worthwhile.

3. I played this hearing that is was better than FFVII (which people say is overrated; I've played it and to be honest, it was my first FF game, but even after playing most other FF games, I still think it's the best), I decided to buy it and play it. If you are a completionist in terms of game series, then it'd be a good experience. I am one of those people, and this game was really disappointing. I was expecting much more than FFVII quality than this, and I got less.

4. Character development sucked. People say it's good because there are a ton of characters and each character is defined, but I want quality of quantity. You couldn't grow on a character since they weren't built upon very much.

The only good thing I can say about this game is that this FF sports probably the GREATEST villain of ANY game I've played; he actually SUCCEEDS and is the most cold-hearted character to meet. I really only enjoyed this game whenever HE was around (or IT).

TL;DR, If you want something of FFVII calibur (or if you think FFVII sucked), don't consider buying this game. If you liked it waaay back and you want to play it again, don't bother. It isn't that different.

My third FF6 @@

Final Fantasy 6 is one of the best in the whole series(best of all for me), I even bought FF6A from import site because I just couldn't wait until US release. This game has really moving and touching story, and each of the main characters has their own story and strong background. There are a lot memoriable famous scenes and musics in this episode, and the 2D graphic was the Top at that time when it was first introduced on SFC(still pretty good even for today's standard). If you have played FF6 before and own a DS or GBA, what can be more greater than be able to enjoy the story again anytime, anyplace, and there are some new events and features are introduced for GBA version :) If you haven't tried FF6, dont miss this chance. The only bad things for the GBA version are some of the music quality are not as good as original and some musics didn't match the end of scenes properly, but most of them are pretty close to original one. The good news is the famous opera scene music is improved.
In short, I would give this game 5 star for fun, and 4 star for overall due to the music, but this shouldn't to become the reason keeping you away it. I hope maybe one day FF6 will recive total remake on PS3 or whatever like FF3 on DS :)

one of the best final fantasy's to date!

i became a fan to this series after seeing Final Fantasy VII on Psone, but i always heard of this rpg series and wondered what was this series about... Initially you must keep in mind that this is a game that takes you and absorbs you into a world, like reading a great book that absorbs you completely... This game was of course orignally released on Snes back in 1994 and really is considered one of the best graphically translated games on Super Nintendo... It was crisp with some great music and entertaining story line, much like Chrono Trigger which was another incredible Super Nintendo game that came out around the same time also...

now to see this on a gameboy advance is amazing, its insane to think how much time has changed, what once a large console system could do, now a small portable system can do it and even better...

the games graphics are amazingly vivid and bright, which is a enhancement to the little more washed out look of the supernitendo version, not that the snes was not as good, its just the effect of having backlighten screen and also the graphical enhancement of the new game... it looks really good and leaves you with awe to SquareSoft/ Square Enix for making these classic Gems of RPG!

now as for the sound, yes somethings have been tweaked, but as most Star Wars fans, which might be similar to those of Final Fantasy, any cosmetic visually or audio wise causes some to be happy and others to be angered...

Purest will hate the fact there is a single change in what they considered a already perfect game, but its 13 years later and Square enix probably just wanted to give everyone something that was the same, yet shinned up a little and given a new glossy paint...

as for others who are willing to except the slight differences, this is still a incredible and beautiful game with 90% of the same moments of gameplay, just a slight difference in some music in parts...

Now not to change subjects, im a star wars fan and i hate change when it came to the re-release versions, but take it from me, eventually consumers will win and get what they exactly want in the end, George Lucas gave us the orginal release versions of the Original Trilogy last Fall, Square Enix might release something of the same for us in the future which is a exact on port of the original...

So for the time being just take this as a re-release of a classic to remind us Final Fantasy fans what made us fall in love with this storyline and kept us buying the titles up to Final Fantasy XII...

Escape from reality

Final Fantasy is world that can only be fantasized about; in reality it may as well be Heaven to some, Hell to others. A world, weather true or false allows one to escape, to evolve into something this world can not offer. Final Fantasy is a world in which we all strive to find one day; it gives us purpose and meaning. I remember Final Fantasy from my childhood. I spent quite a bit of time in a mental hospital while growing up, my parents thought it to be appropriate to stick a 12 year old scared kid with a group full of gangsters, murderer's, rapist's, drug dependent psycho's. I was the youngest kid in the hospital the next youngest kid was a 16 year old Blood who has already killed a man and just so happened to be my room mate. After taking my belongings and beating me up, this particular gangster thought it'd be fun to sexually violate me. I'm only 12 and to young to read between the lines, yet know that I don't like it. Thanks mom and dad. I've never taken a drink, I've never smoked a cigarette, and I've never cheated in school or have been suspended. I never bullied younger kids or cursed. I got good grades and I was another one of the unfortunate kids to have the ADD label slapped right on me. In the early 90's it was a disease, an evil curse that only gets you locked away with no way out!!
So here I am for well over a year, I sit in solitude because I don't fit the criteria of AA or NA meetings, so I just sit, I sit until one day I'm told that I'm going home (only because the Insurance company couldn't afford to keep me in there any longer ). I finally get to go home and I find myself leaving the place more messed up then when I entered the place. The funny thing is that I wasn't at all messed up in the head before going to this awful place. I remember my parents having a packed bag all ready and set out for me telling me that we were going to the beach, without my brother's? I should've known it was a crock. I was tricked. We pulled up to a hospital out in the middle of nowhere, where I was taken away from the world as I knew it.
The only thing I took away from that place was Final Fantasy. It was the means of escape for many patients or criminals, what ever you want to call them. It brought a certain degree of sanity to these people that I could not understand yet knew that I wanted to share the same escape. This was a feeling that has long been forgotten, until the day Final Fantasy VII debuted. To many, including myself, this was the first Final Fantasy experience, which lead to FFVIII and IX. The sheer excitement and adventure it allowed us to be involved in only strengthened our desire to want more and learn more. It was then we learned the origins of FF I, II, III, IV, V, and the ever so unspoken FFVI which sparked the revolution. The games have been re-done re-mastered, and movies have depicted our imaginations. I feel as if we should go even further in our curiosity of the origins of Final Fantasy, those responsible for its creation, Japan. What an amazing culture, that provides us with an experience that we compare to an addicting drug. What else can they offer us? I see a society so peaceful, so energetic, and so happy. I understand, this is something that I want, and to attain that of which I, we desire, we must strive to mimic our values, and appreciate the culture that is JAPAN.
God Bless Japan.

Tara, the ultra modern witch and her loitering hangers- on.

This is the first of the modernized settings of the next to come FF games. Tech has mostly replaced the fanciful magic in privious installments except for this special woman named Tara(or terra or something-you can change her name). The muzak reflects a hint of the modern tech scociety of FFVI in a sort of disco/80's techno fasion. At the first your sutis fire missiles from plated cannons in the chest. Suits of armour that you DRIVE, not wear. This mage is utilized for her amazing talent that no one else has and she joins a resistance movement to protect her from the subjegation of selfish envious people who would experiment on her for her magic ability. The flamboyant King Edward uses a unique character class not preivously in other games called a "Machinist" and can use modern wheaponery such as machine guns(auto crossbows as they are called) and bio stunners a sort of "Wand of Detainment". Loche claims to be a "Treasure Hunter" but is a thief like any other game he "steals" for you. It is more useful in combat than one might think, he steals from monsters too, not just people. You get the bulk of your inventory from him. Thier are probalby a half a dozen or more characters for you to travel with and you can control multi-parties, not just your own. I suggest having Terra travel with your main people at all times as she seems to be the central charcater. Loche and Edward are also pivotol.
