Final Fantasy XII? Who cares!? Final Fantasy XIII!? Screw that! The most exciting announcement for the FF series for me is the rerelease of arguably the best game in the series, and my favorite game of all time, Final Fantasy VI, for the GBA which is coming out later this year!
The thought of playing this masterpiece over again on a portable system is truly exciting, should make school a lot better! It was rereleased for the PS1 years ago but it wasn't a very clean port, the menus was laggy and the movement of the cursor was constantly delayed.
This version is going to have improved graphics and some other new aspects. I'm really very excited that this is finally coming out, confirming the rumors that have been going around for a few months about it.
I know a lot of new age FF fans haven't had the opportunity to play this, now there's no excuse not to play the best game in the series and one of the best games of all time.
I got this game today, so far it's wonderful. The dialogue is almost entirely redone, for the better. It's been re-translated and is much more coherent now.
Unfortunately the quality of the wonderful music, known by many as the best in the entire series, had to be downgraded noticeably for the GBA, but when the quality of the melodies are so good, it's not a huge problem.
Get this game now, every one who considers themselves an FF fan and who hasn't played this game should immediately, it's one of the quintessential games in the series.
I have 1 & 2, and 4 on GBA. I'm about 3/4 the way through 3, and love it. I'm so glad I decided to play the original six, they are so much better then the new ones.

interesting.. are there any gameplay hindrances?... the playstation version had this horrible slowdown.. and loading time before the battle began... I basically got to that serpent river and quit cuz I couldnt stand the nonsense anymore lol
I got much much farther when I played it on SNES though
I'm happy to say the terrible slowdown from the PS version is gone, though the game get's a little choppy at times, it's very minor.
No loading times, either.
Really it's a great port, the dialogue changes are a little jarring, but they're not bad, and like I said, the music has been downgraded, but it's still beautiful.
Certainly worth playing, that's for sure, it's a great rerelease.
My five bought it for my birthday this weekend, but I haven't goten to play it yet, I still play the orignal on the SNES all the time I have a save with over 200 hours on it. Can't wait to play the GBA version.
Second best FF IMO and everyone should pick it up.
