Anyone besides myself grabbing it?

I have renewed interest in this game after seeing the 5 hour completion video. Making my 90+ hours on the SNES seem wildly pathetic.

if by "grabbing it" you mean downloading it, then nah I pry won't even bother doing that.

Are there any new features on the advance version?

New dungeons, a new character and a bestiary...

Stupid stuff like that. This game deserved a better remake than this one.

Dude, it's not a remake, it's a port. With some added stuff. And I hear the music's been redone? Hell, this is more than I was hoping for.

I'll pick it up. Just not right now.

You're right. It actually includes two new dungeons,some new items, new espers and the bestiary/soundtrack.

what bugs me is that with the other ports the slightly modified the graphics to improve the quality to FFVI level but for FFVI itself it gets no graphical update because its "good enough" anyways, I hope that the FF rereleases on PSP coming later this year will go beyond FFI and FFII because they are updating the graphics for the first time since Origins.

I will most likely download it.

Guess I'll just have to wait for a fan remake...

...

And that's a lot of time.

Who's the extra character in it? Or did somene count an esper as an extra character?

I downloaded it, but I already have started my downloaded FFIII. Downloads, downloads. If I actually bought a game, I would commit myself to it. This will be the case with FFXII. bye

I picked it up today. At first glance, nothing seems too different. The music is tweaked for GBA. The SNES is still superior. Haven't had too much time play it. I am curious as to how Sabin's blitzs' will be altered for the new button layout. The dialog, though slightly different still comes across as the same.

DEFIANT · Post by **DEFIANT** » Wed Feb 07, 2007 4:18 am

Down'd it also. Pretty much what Square said. Though I do like the direction the new dialog is going. Haven't got time to play it outright right now though. I'm way too caught up in Call of Duty online. Damn this is addictive.

I've already found bugs in the game... minor, but stupid. On the other hand, the script is far better than the original. Just don't be surprised how bad the audio (mostly sound) is though.

Haha, they owned those otaku freaks.

I think I missed the joke. Is this by any chance a reference to those like skyrender?

Yes, because japophiles always spell Kefka with a C.

Wonder how much work it'd be to transplant the script into the SFC version.

Read on some blog:

SNES Wedge: Not to worry. The Slave Crown on her head robs her of all conscious thought. She'll follow orders.

VERSUS

GBA Wedge: Relax. With that thing on her head, she's a mindless puppet.

I'm all for clear language, but....can't say I like that very much.

Here's some other blog post on the script:

Regardless though, I haven't played the GBA one yet but I'll always prefer Woolsey's script no matter what. Nostalgia? Probably.

I think the "new" music is great.

SquareHead · Post by **SquareHead** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 12:55 pm

So, I take it the vanish/doom thing in FF3US was a bug exploit?

Pretty much, but bosses are so damn easy to own. Also, it wasn't just FF3 that was bugged, it was another revision, and the original FF6 version (IOW, it's bugged across the board).

MorteTheSkull · Post by **MorteTheSkull** » Sat Feb 10, 2007 9:17 pm

Now, is the new script like, really close to the Japanese? Because personally, I thought Woolsey's translation was phenominal, and one thing I would hate about making it closer to the Japanese is the Opera scene, which in the original Japanese was actually much less interesting, not containing foreshadowing to the later game like Woolsey's translation.

So far the script has been good. For example, Locke and the soldiers do not sound like they were educated at Eton.
