FFVIA new features!

[Roto13]

Thanks Kishi.

I can almost forgive the inclusion of the emperor since his death doesn't really do a whole lot for anyone, but General Leo? No, that was a big moment for Terra.

omg bluemage hp sucks :p.

I can almost forgive the inclusion of the emperor since his death doesn't really do a whole lot for anyone, but General Leo? No, that was a big moment for Terra.

The Emperor's death was kind of a big deal, too. It was the turning point where Kefka stopped playing the role of the lapdog, stole the power of the gods for himself, and went on to, you know, destroy the world.

[Roto13]

Yeah, but now he's a god and the world is destroyed and Gestahl doesn't need to be dead any more. He seemed to be more of a tiny little obstacle than anything.

Here's the deal, guys. Over at the Gamespot forums, they're saying this is already a pretty infamous and fake rumor, made worse by someone there perpetuating it for a couple of days. No one there has gotten either one of them, even though several have beaten the game.

Biggest tell? There are still only 15 character slots. 14 for the playable characters, 1 to aid in party-swapping. No room for two extra.

Believe it or not, I think we've been 1995-ed. The Leo rumors strike again -- but I'm 90% sure they're false. Again. A new game and the concept of possible extras make them more believable, I guess, but yeah. Not true.

Alright hello everyone.

They've posted this hacked video of the Japanese Final Fantasy VI Advance version.

This basically completely nullifies all rumors, as now any screenshot is pretty much worth nothing, and with the 15 character slots there is no possible way Leo or Gesthal could be in.

So, I hope this is it.

[Necronopticous]

I admit, I feel relieved.

[Zeromus_X]

Also, I know you'll be curious as to how the Opera is on the GBA.

[Rase]

Well, since we've already got a video of the fight with Gilgamesh, may as well have the ones featuring Leviathan and Mr. Cactuar.

[The Man]

Well, that's a bit of a relief.

[Mirage]

I disapprove of the new battle theme.

[Bunny]

I am somewhat disappoint with the new battles. They went by far too quickly for my liking and I would like to see an extremely difficult battle that requires strategy in it. I mean, come on. Let's get a guy with 700,000 HP or something up in the game. Something that will take awhile or something.

Albeit those videos were probably sped up a certain degree, but come on. Longer and harder battles please.

And I agree with Mirage.

Battle with Kaiser Dragon ('Czar Dragon').

These hackers need to stop spamming Lightbringer.

^The opening!

At this point, I may as well link to broly318's profile:

Meh, KaiserDragon looks like a bit of a wuss in that battle, despite the fact that he obviously has substantially more HP than Kefka. And agreed on the Lightbringer spam, but at least they're not spamming Genji+Offering Ultima Weapon/Lightbringer.

edit: wait, he just killed Biggs, might not be as much of a pushover as I thought.

edit 2: yeah, Fallen Angel spam. Always thought it was lame that Kefka used that only once, because it was the only attack that could have made that game remotely challenging.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The new sprite is pretty classy. Takes me back to FFI and FFII, when these things could actually be called remakes and not just lazy ports.

And I have got to say that it's cool that they decided to make the big optional super-boss for the port a boss that was cut from the original version of the game. Disregarding the downgraded audiovisuals and the unnecessary fluff like new Espers, it's as if a missing piece of the game has been restored.

[The Man]

Have to agree with that, and now I'm really hoping they'll rerelease Holy Sword Legend 2 at some point as well, just to see what they would've done with all the portions of that game that didn't get finished in time. (And, of course, Holy Sword Legend 3 deserves an American/European release in the worst possible way)
