Final Fantasy VI Advance

[Tiael]

Has been dated for NA release(it is releasing 11/30/2006 in JP), 2/05/2007 http://gonintendo.com/?p=8797,
4 new espers confirmed so far, Leviathan, Gilgamesh, Jumbo Cactuar(or regular, looks like it alternates, maybe like Choco/Mog in FFVII, where it can also be Fat Choco alongside the regular Choco/Mog), and Diabolos, and a new bonus dungeon where you split into 3 parties and go through the dungeon that way(similiar to Kefka's Tower), Dragon's Roost or something like that is the name.

Some links to various screenshots

I am fairly damn stoked for this, my favorite FF, less than 3months to go woo

Why do they not bother to confirm an EU release for these re-releases.No EU release confirmed for FFIII DS or FFV Advanced either ;_; Not fair.

Edit: Eh...nvm.

I'm looking forward to this one. I never had a chance to play it on the SNES and was only able to get through the first couple hours on the Playstation anthology disc.

Did the load times on the Playstation bore you to death? Because on my game (not part of the anthology disc. it was the UK/EU version of FF6) was extremely horrible.

Hells yes FFVI!!!! My favorite one of them all! Can't wait to beat the GBA version of it lol.

Whoa new espers... that's gonna be cool

Edit : Hope they extend some storylines.

Hopefully they don't nerf the difficulty. FF1&2 were mere shadows of their original selves, and FFIV wasn't much better. I have yet to buy V but SE isn't doing well in making the old games as easy as the PSX-PS2 era ones. An RPG either needs good graphics or good challenge. So far, the portable FFs haven't had much of either. I like the old graphics for nostalgia reasons, but the challenge was where the fun was, not the eye candy back then.

Supposedly there's 2 additional characters, Leo and Gestahl in the GBA version, but only one person has confirmed it(Leaked GBA rom), so pretty much a rumour until the game officially releases in JP on November 30th, it'd be cool, but Leo died, and Gestahl fell quite a long ways off the Floating Continent(supposedly), so we'll see I guess.

Gestahl was also stabbed by Kefka before being thrown off the floating continent.

I hope they don't remove Leo's death sequence. If they do make him (more) playable, adding a new scene for him during the Crescent Island sequence would be excellent.

See "Emulator".

No, first he got ZAPPED, then he got stabbed, THEN HE GOT kicked off lmao
Kefka is baddd, baddest motha fukka in the worldd. h34r:

Ahh that was one of my favorite scenes hahaha.

Hmm, Leo got stabbed by Kefka...too. Maybe you can revive him with Phoenix? Kinda like what they did to Rachel lol I dunno how they're going to do that.

Rachel didn't get revived by Phoenix. Phoenix woke her up from the herb-induced coma and then she died.

I seem to have forgotten...who was Rachel? ;x

 

[Tiael]

Locke's girlfriend, who fell when they were hunting treasure, and was put into a coma using herbs so she wouldn't die.

I said kinda like o.o calm down son lol

just for a reminder on that, you see that part of the story line after the world of ruin when you go to find Locke

 

[Lanien]

Good thing this doesn't come out until February. I have too many games I have to play.

 

[Pupusa]

Has anyone confirmed that Gesthal and Leo are playable in the main game? My guess is that they put them in for perhaps a bonus dungeon near endgame, such as FFIV had that bonus dungeon thrown in. I could understand Leo's story being changed for him to survive against Kefka, but how the hell did Gesthal get on the team? I can't see anyway people like Terra or Celes would agree with him joining on.

Also this brings the question, you think they'll make the ghost on the phantom train and Baron (Sp? Resistance leader) permanant characters?

 

[Tiael]

Just a rumour someone started, turned out bogus, and fake screenshots of them being in party.
Least that's what I'm gathering, since people are playing thru the JP version and have not gotten any as playable pt at all, even after the end of game, also rumours are Culex from Super Mario RPG is a boss in this, Banon, Kappa(the imp) are playable characters, etc.
I'd kill for additional characters, even a epilogue thing similiar to FFII's Soul of Rebirth, but all signs point to no at this point in time, but who knows.

So far the consensus is this is 1 of their weaker ports, V Advance was stellar, VI advance I hear has a lot of slowdown, the music quality has taken a downfall(of course since the GBA, but not much better on DS)
But I'm still getting it anyways, my favorite FF.

Ah thanks.
