You can hold FFVI Advance in your little hands in one week!
Oh how I can hardly wait.
I tremble in anticipation!
As much as I love FFVI, I'm not going to get excited about a GBA port.
But it's FFVI anywhere! :excited:
I can play FFVI here or there
I can play FFVI anywhere
I can play FFVI in a boat
I would, could, with a goat
I can play FFVI in the rain
I can play FFVI on a train
I can play FFVI in a box
I can play FFVI with a fox
I can play FFVI in a house
I would, could, with a mouse
I love FFVI! :chef:
Oh lawdy, it's that time of year for me to replay FFVI again. Except this time I can have something new to expect!
This is going to cut into my WoW time...

Cool, shouldn't be long till it hits Europe also, then. :excited:
Hopefully FF3 and Zelda PH will get released too.
edit: lollywood, I forgot FFXII.
I wouldn't count on it. Europe still doesn't have FFVA yet.
Not that it matters. Region free -> import.
-Sigh- *Downloads ZSnes*
I guess I didn't buy FFVA in the store two months ago then. :D I don't remember the exact date, but it was there in less than a month after its american release. I guess maybe the store imported it then, and hopefully they'll import FFVI too. :mog:Quote:

Wikipedia is never incorrect. :p
Yup, I looked it up too and it's still TBA. Yay for region free.
I might just download it. I dunno. I can already play it anywhere on my laptop. :P
Wouldnt it be easier to skip the double negative by saying "Wikipedia is Always correct?"Quote:

LAME I DISLIKE NEW BLITZ NAMES
They are obviously superior.
Inferior. I should hack them back in place.
There's nothing "rising" about Fire Dance. :mad2:
And where's the phoenix? :mad2:
I shall embrace the new names just to spite you all. :chef:
If they changed "Bum Rush" to "Anal Ram", I'm so there.
I'd assume it would get translated to the cliche "Final Heaven."
Lol xD... hahaha xDQuote:

Yeah... i hate when they change names... I grew with the SNES version of this game!!!... and now they change those names!!!...Quote:

Lol... not so much... but i hate when companies decide to change some names on their remakes... Is like one day Chochobos would start to be called Stupkertelglindermaycookmysheet just because they made a new version of an old game...:mad2: !!!

Good for you.
I'm really scared that it might lag and suffer from bugs like FFIV Advance did. The thing is that I look so forward to this re-release so I don't want it to be sloppy.
No such thing in FFVA. I would think they continued that trend.
Weird because FFIV-FVI and CT on the PSX all had increasing load times.Quote:

If any has the roms and PSX versions he/she would notice that the load times were proportional to the rom size. FFIV being the smallest rom had the shortest load times while Chrono Trigger being the largest of the roms was almost completely intolerable. Funny how in the GBA releases as they went up in the FF ports the load times went down.
Why are you talking about the PS1 version?
There are no load times with cartridges.
Yeah there is. The only thing is that they are relatively short. The GBA has a little over 256 KB of memory. The FF Advance games are all 8 Megs and above. Obviously the GBA can't store all that at once so it loads a certain amount at a time.Quote:

Adventurer class is cool and all, but those accessory names make me sad. Soul of Thamasa?
hilarious Doctor Seus reference. Yeah just one more week.Quote:

I wonder if they are going to put some more info on Shadow story... =/
Maybe they finally make clear the theme of Shadow/Relm...
Well... i think they are not going to do that... but dreaming is nice=P
Gem Box.Quote:

Yeah. It gave Magic Booster status (2x MP cost for 1.5 times potency). In VI, it lets you doublecast.
I assumed it was the Memento Ring, as Relm and Shadow are the "Soul of Thamasa" in a way.
And seeing these few screen captures are making me salivate more and more...
The Memento Ring is there, though. :P
Hermes Sandals are the Running Shoes.
Molulu's Charm is the Moogle Charm.
Growth Egg is the Experience Egg.
Heiji's Jitte is the Coin Toss.
I payed my copy off two months ago. I'm obscenely excited, but I'm also very terrified that this.... version... will ruin my love. I mean.. Yeah not like I'll hate the game but I have a problem with slight changes to a good thing. I'm in high disagreement over some of the things getting Japanese names.. If anything (other than the genji glove~) they should get french or europeon names..
I think this is the most scared and happy I've been over something so small. :razz:
I'll just download it....
Oh... i don't like the stupid name changes, i like the old names...
and btw, i hate the word "molulu"... it sounds stupid...
Actually, I'm playing a ROM on my computer!Quote:

So there's a ROM dump of FFVI Advance in English? I'm intrigued.
^Actually I meant 'getting' instead of 'playing'. I was just thinking of other stuff.
I've been looking and I can't find one.
EDIT: Oh. :P
Adventurer class is fail and poo. It should have said TREASURE HUNTER.Quote:

"Call me an adventurer or I'll rip your lungs out" sounds less badass :(
God.. I sure hope "Son of a Submariner" doesn't end up something gay like "Son of an underwater navigator!".Quote:

"Thief" is such a negative term. I prefer to call them "Wealth Redistributor".
"Wealth Redistributor" makes me believe that Locke works for the IRS, and -that's- negative. Let's just call him Robin Hood, 'cause when he steals stuff the whole poor party gets it! :razz:Quote:

I CAN DO IT.
I'm thinking a noon lunch trip to Best Buy will be in order tomorrow. :D
That's no problem at all, can be done in 10 hours.
But why rush? :confused:
10 hours isn't a rush, it's a relaxing tempo :p. Rushing would be doing it on 6 hours :p.
Bah, I intend to talk to everyone and re-explore every nook and cranny. It will be like playing the game for the fist time. :)
:skull::skull::skull::skull:, I need to beat FFIV so I can go out and buy this one. :p VI is enough of an incentive to do so, though.
Does this include reading everything story-wise or just skipping everything and going as fast as you can? Because I'm doubting that.Quote:

It includes skimming the new dialogue, using the most effective battle setups, skills and tactics, and not going exploring anything, as I know where everything is.
Did anyone purchase their copy yet?
Nope, I never pre-order online anymore. I prefer to buy it the next day in the store rather than waiting on the delivery guy to show up that afternoon.
I'm about to go and pick mine up. I would have it already if I would have woken up earlier. :razz:
You'll hear from me in about an hour and a half.. *ECSAPE*
It ships today, they won't have it in stores until tomorrow.
*retail expert*
Depends on the area and the store. I have bought things the day that it was supposed to be shipped. Whether or not that was a mistake on the stores part is none of my business. All I know is that it has happened before, and it made me very happy.
But I've never worked retail so maybe I got lucky.
That was a mistake on the store's part. The consumer isn't supposed to get FFVI Advance until tomorrow. That's why the release date is listed as February 5th on places like www.gamestop.com, because they ship it today and you receive it tomorrow. For in-store purchases it won't be available until tomorrow.Quote:

One of the guys thinks if they take away "Son of a Submariner" than they need to give Kefka's cussing back. You take something awesome, you give something that's suppose to be there.
I still hope he says "hate" seventeen times.
Yeah... me tooQuote:

Hey... they say the music comes remixed! ... i hope they don't kill the songs =/
And about Edgar class, i preffer Engineer more than Machinist... Machinist sounds like the guy who drives the Phantom Train (of course, if the Phantom Train would be driven by someone)...
http://media.nintendo.com/mediaFiles...XN8AKSAIal.jpg
Yeah... i wich that too... and i hope he says "Uweee he he he" too...Quote:

lol... xD...
Yeah... that class sucks too... =/
hey... look this! http://gbamedia.gamespy.com/gba/imag...1095434059.jpg
Is it my idea??? or Leviathan wasn't a summon esper in the old versions of ff6???... i don't remember well, but i think i didn't see him before... and besides, that one is the ff5 sprite... but is fighting the ff6 Behemoth... some webs say is a new bonus boss, and i read that Gilgamesh would be an esper too =S!
Yeah, Leviathan, Sabotender, Diablos, and Gilgamesh have all been added as bonus summons.
Yay recycled FFV sprites~
lol... they could have made at least a new sprite... =/ ...but... it's ok, that sprite is fine...
I wanna play it more than before rightnow!
But i still can't take Gilgamesh by an esper xD...
I was going to wait but I love this game too much. I will probably purchase it tomorrow during my very short break from work. I may go purchase a DS tonight...
I'm looking forward to the new summons and the relocalization, though I hope they don't botch either one of them up.
The game is out in a couple Gamestops and quite a few Wal-Marts in North America.
Though it is mostly not on the shelves anywhere else.
The ROM hasn't been found anywhere yet.
Correct. Square shipped the games today which means no one will have them stocked until tomorrow. Just as we said above.Quote:

Final Fantasy 6 sucks, I think Final Fantasy X-2 owns it. We're all entitled to our own opinions, right? :)
Wow.. I'm just kidding, relax.. I've yet to finish it though, I will someday.. maybe. I should get into the handhelds soon too.. I could use one on my 7hour airplane ride coming up.
"Magitek Elite" is a bit more catchy than just plain "Magic Soldier", don't you think?
Anyway, that screenshot makes me all antsy. I have to go pick up my copy tomorrow. I probably won't speed through it like I did with FFIV Advance though, I want to absorb as much of this new translation as I can. I hope it'll capture at least some of the feeling of playing the game for the first time.
Also, I want to check to see if they fixed any of the issues with the Japanese version.
I don't like it because she spends maybe 2% of the game in Magitek Armor.
Why do they even need classes?
I think Sabin should get a "Gym Manager" class. :razz:
And if Kefka doesn't say HATE 17 times or laugh.. I'll die.
What if they take Gau's Uwaooo~ away..
OH GOD I'M TERRIFIED, HOLD ME JOWY~ :cry:
*holds*
Well, we'll find out tomorrow! These screenshots are making me sad though.
editga: They removed the scene in which Celes is beaten by the soldiers in South Figaro. That's rather pointless.
*overkill*Quote:

Oh... i hate when they remove scenes... it would be better if they'll put more scenes instead of removing the old ones...
Yes!!! Two more hours...Quote:

I got my copy! :hyper:
But now, due to work and a Calculus test tonight, I probably won't get to play until tomorrow. :cry:
i've got it! i've got it!! I"VE GOT ITT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUT OF MY WAY!!!! :smash:
Congrats to both of you:)
I'll probably pick mine up after college tomorrow
I'll probably get it eventually.
Playing it now. Running around in MAgitek Armour.
Changed x-fer to Banisher, minor Dialogue changes, but nothing wrong. Its Now Biggs and wedge RAther than Vicks.
Thats it for now, I'll update changes soon.
Edit: And Lobo was changed to Silver Lobo
Terras Class is Magitek Elite
And Monkey Wrench is now Bandit.
And Whelk was changed to Ymir
The EMpire is now the Ghestalian Empire.
Marshel is changed to Gaurd LEader
As Said Before, Lock is an Adventurer.
You can unequip Mogs Mythril Spear and Shield.
And I just noticed, the Backround Behind the Characters didn't get cut out. I still see the forests in the backround just outside NArshe.
The Scorpians outside Figaro are now called Alacran's.
I'm just going to make a thread with these changes.
Am I wrong or those were the names that they had at Chrono Trigger??? ...mmm... no... I think I'm wrong, but I've seen those name in other place aside the english patch for the FFVI SNES rom (VI, not III)...Quote:

Oh and I -highly- disagree with the whelks stupid name. And! I don't like the "ghestalian" empire thing. Kefka's still got justice though. Which reminds me.. *wanders off to make thread in general chat*
Playing this on a DS is kind of unnerving. I'm used to using X Y DOWN UP for Suplex-y death and it does nothing. xD
Oh and I dunno if it's just me but riding a chocobo lags kind of. It's kind of wonky while riding one, so I think I'll just walk everywhere. :razz:
Yeah, chocobo riding is slow as hell. I fear how bad it is to be on an airship.
Riding in the Airship is just fine.
Went to Gamestop and purchased it. I'm halfway done with Locke's scenario(and already finished the other two)
I didn't find Chocobo Riding slow at all. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm playing it on the Gamecube instead of the GBAQuote:
