- There are many versions of Final Fantasy VI out there. I believe one of the best ways to play this classic RPG is actually a patched version of the Game Boy Advance release Final Fantasy VI Advance.

What version of this game did you play?
I played the GBA version with the music patch and colour patch. Tho it's not perfect. When playing with headphones you can hear some hissing noises from the music and also the GBA isn't powerful enough to run this game. It lags sometimes and when you're in the airship the game gets pretty choppy compared to the SNES version which is a smooth mode 7 graphics.
I played it on SNES9X in the late 90's because Australia for some reason HATED to release RPGs in that era. We didn't get Final Fantasy (until 7,) Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana or even Super Mario RPG.
@@DodgeThisBami am surprised SNES9X even existed back then.
@@elio7610 Snes9x ran from the command prompt. It may have even been DOS based.
I had a bit of trouble with FF6 because there were some transparency problems with the emulation back then.
Riding on the turtles was hard, because there was only water visible! Thankfully I worked out what was happening and managed to brute force my way through that area!
GBA version with the Sound+Color Restoration patches like a true definitivist, if that's a word 👍
Well, it was the definitive experience at the time but next time, I might do SNES Ted Woosley Uncensored Edition with additional add-ons for it.
It IS too bad the PIXEL versions of FF1 to 6 are based on the NES/SNES games so NONE of the GBA dungeons are in ANY of them.
FF2’s bonus content changed the whole game for me. It makes it feel like a complete story. I can’t believe they’d ever leave it off of a release ever again.
@@Tonberry2k I haven't played soul of rebirth. Is it worth playing? I'm currently playing through all the FF games but I'm skipping the post game, sequels and spin offs.
@@Enzed_I think it’s the best way to play FF2, no contest.
which doesnt make any sense, like when they already use the GBA version as a translation and interface and bug fixed and basically everything basis, then why not add the option for the SNES or GBA version OST to be included so people can TRY to enjoy the game without those "meh" rearrangements :/
@@Evilriku13 i have mixed feelings for pixel remaster ost. I think some of ff4's tracks were butchered in the new rearrangement.
TH-cam actually recommended a cool channel. Surprising.
Well I'm certainly happy to hear they are recommending me. Thanks for checking it out!
I don't really agree about the sound restoration patch, while it restores the original music, the sample rate is so bad that it creates a horrendous hissing, compression artefacts, and the stereo separation is completely destroyed, making it, in my opinion, even worse than the original GBA version. For anybody that don't exclusively play on low volume on the original GBA speaker, it's just a bad experience. If you want a better general experience, better patching the og SNES version with new translation patch and QoL improvements.
Geniune question, how does the patched SNES rom compare to the pixel remaster?
@@TheNameIsSR it's a legit question but very hard to answer, as the pixel remaster has been basically entirely reworked and remade down to the sprites. It has fantastic orchestral music, and a lot of quality of life improvements, but also has a few issues like scrolling being stuttery and some sprite animations missing. The sprite style is somewhat changed too, which is a matter of taste. I'd say the remaster is worth it if you can ignore these issues or are willing to tweak the PC version to kind of fix them. But you can't go wrong with the original either if you really want the pure original experience.
You know that this isnt possible for foreign languages right? I'm not a native english speaker, so a translation for my language for the SNES version still isnt availbile. And the last time someone promised to use the GBA script for FF5 in my language they messed tons of spelling errors up.
Besides, I dunno what version you got for the GBA soundpatched version but I don't have that hissing or artefacts issue. Maybe cuz I play it on the NDS, because the GBA version generall has this issue you describe from what I hear from some folks if they listen closely to on hardware sound output from a multitude of games on it, so make of that what you will.
@@Evilriku13 being french, I know the feeling. That's why recently I play the pixel remaster instead of the SNES. As I said in my comment, the sound quality issue is only noticeable if you have good sound (modded GBA or analogue pocket for instance), or if like me you like to use earphones. But it's not only hissing, it's generally very low sampling quality, that makes the sound bad and completely destroys the stereo separation.
Just compare it with the original SNES game directly and you'll see what I mean.
But if you are enjoying it anyway, it's all good, I don't want to stop anybody from having fun, just stating the issues people like me have with it 😄
@@Evilriku13 ah I'm Dutch. I'm used to games not being translated into my native language. Playing games on my DS is how I taught myself English
Video Game Communities coming together to try and make the best version of a game is an absolute necessity for video game preservation as companies regularly abandon, neglect and sometime even deliberately destroy versions of games to make quick buck.
I'm currently Playing Tales Of Symphonia, but the GCN version with fan upscaled HD graphics, Widescreen and 60FPS which has been lost in all subsequent re-releases of the game.
I'm also Playing Tales of Destiny DC for the PS2 which never got released or translated but has been done by the LifeBottle Production team just so more people can experience a game that never to released in the West.
Teams that make entire fan translations are always so impressive to me. The retro gaming community truly is awesome.
If good sound quality is important then play any other version, even with the patch it is still not on par with the SNES version. My first playthrough of this game was the GBA version, it became my favourite FF game, but nowadays I would recommend much more the Pixel Remaster with some mods (and even without mods) or the SNES version with the retranslation project mod.
We did get Final Fantasy IV in the US as Final Fantasy II. We didn't get II, III, and V.
I just beat this game for the first time a few days ago (as of this comment) I played the pixel remaster on the switch. it was amazing
We did get Final Fantasy 4...it was just called Final Fantasy 2 on SNES :). FF1 on Famicom we also got ported to the NES so thats all good. FF2 and FF3 followed but stayed on the Famicom in Japan. FF4 was released on the SNES and was rebranded as FF2 on the SNES for us in the west. FF5 stayed on Super Famicom. FF6 was rebranded as FF3 for Super Nintendo. Obviously all games since then have been rebanded to the original Japanese names due to the PS1 ports and GBA ports etc.
I wonder what would happen if they released FF7 as FF4 😂
Fan made improvement patches like these rule.
I believe there is a similar restoration one for the Breath of Fire GBA ports too
Honestly I might make this the version of FFVI that I play through. I’ve been trying to play all the pre-7 games, and while I think I’m gonna skip 2, once I get to 6 why compromise?
Everyone skips 2 😂 I have the GBA versions of 1 and 2 and I haven't played 2 either.
I've played the FF games in order of release. I played the PSP versions of FF1-4, played the GBA versions of FF5 and 6 with patches to restore the music, and I've played the PS1 versions of FF7-9. I'm currently on FFX and I'm playing the international Japanese version.
I really beg you to give II a chance. The story is far above the other NES/Famicom games, really feels up to par with the likes of IV and VI especially in it's complexity and maturity. And its absolutely the standard that later FF games build off of in storytelling going forward, and it's deeply important to the legacy of the franchise. Hell, Cid and Chocobos were introduced in II. I understand what people say about the mechanics may be intimidating, but I swear that its worth adapting to if story means anything to you. The problems are highly exagerated. I will argue its possibly the best RPG on the Famicom / NES with only the likes of Dragon Quest IV, Mother, and Sweet Home giving it a run for its money.
@@badwrongfun5541 Yeah, II has a good story. The way you level up is different but it's not as confusing as FF8's system. But it is kinda funny how you have to keep hurting yourself to level up your HP stat in FF2.
@@badwrongfun5541 "good story" sure mate. How many throwaway characters do you want in your game? - Yes. How much of a simple antagonist do you wanna have? - Yes. This game is a shitpile of ideals because it was one of Kawazu's first games he worked on, and he did a WAY better job with it on Makai Toushi SaGa aka Final Fantasy Legends.
Also Cid was introduced in FF3, get your fuckign facts straight!!
Mother 1 was also a terrible RPG experience, as they havent done playtesting the final dungeon of the game and it SHOWS! It's also WAAAY too grindy for its own good as new party members start at such a low level that it's embarassing how someone can be proud of that! I'd rather throw a buck for DQ3, DQ4, Ys 1, Crystalis, Faxanadu, Magic of Sherazade or Willow then to play the first three FF titles on that console or Mother to begin with!
It Kinda is, it's just that the music is much better on the SNES
NOPE. The best FF6 experience you can get is ACTUALLY the Pixel Remaster with all the best fan-made mods to improve the game, the experience, the graphics, the best feature, the most accurate translation, all the bug fixes, UI fixes, text box portraits, and music mods. Pixel Remaster WITH Mods is the objectively perfect version of the game in all areas.
For me, the best version is the Steam 2013 with Atma Weapon mod installer.
It has all the bonus content, can restore SNES art or use character close to original artwork, and a lot of music options.
I'll have to check it out.
True to the source or not, Shadow not "slitting his momma's throath for a nickel" anymore is lame, same for "son of a submariner".
I played 3 on SNES, 6 with a translation patch on the SNES and 6 on the GBA with script patch and music patch, it's the best one I think, I played it on a Game Boy Micro, that was an amazing experience, I wish I knew where the micro is now becacuse it's the best portable ever made.
I've still never played a Game Boy Micro. I had the original GBA model growing up and the Micros are so expensive these days.
FF6 was my first rpg, got me into the genre, i love replaying ff6, have the snes classic and gba version of ff6. It's fun to jump back and forth between them
Here to say I actually prefer most of the translation of the PS1 version but those load times are atrocious. I’ll occasionally fire it up on my vita through Adrenaline and put 2x speed on to make it more bearable
That's a good way to get around it. I haden't thought of that.
Can Adrenaline play ps1 games at 2x speed or is it just the loading times?
@@GrandemagicoWall on the vita if you hold select and L1 down it doubles the speed of all PS1 games. Doesn’t work for PSP games but every PS1 game that I’ve tested it works great. Perfect for some older JRPGS
This version of the game is great. I personally prefer the music and updated visuals in the Pixel Remaster, but it's such a shame they left out the extra content in those.
It's almost like FFVI has a similar situation going on to Persona 3, where there's no truely definitive version of the game
I played some of the original Persona 3, but I haven't played much attention to the new version. Is it missing some content?
Persona 3 Reload is a great upgrade to Persona 3 FES (enhanced ps2 version) and Persona 3 Portable (psp) for a lot of people, but not everyone likes the music, voice acting, or artistic direction as much as the older versions.
The only thing Reload is missing content-wise is the Female MC, who is only in Portable. And while Portable has another route to play through, better combat, and more QoL than FES, it's a downgrade visually and to the overall atmosphere. Portable also doesn't include The Answer, which is an extra part of the story that's in FES and coming as DLC for Reload.
So, it's a case of each version having something that the others don't, and people will argue endlessly about what the best version is
FFV also has this problem. I really wish they made a remaster for V and VI the way they did for FF1, 2, and 4 on PSP.
The bright colors are hard to understand, as FFTA had 3 color profiles to choose from and Square didn't make Nintendo games until the GBA SP came out.
Yes, next question
Seeing both side by side on the Analogue Pocket I cant agree that the GBA version is an improvement.
Getting it on the GBA so competently is truly a marvel but it is NOT the better way to play it.
"Kefka the Clown" Bruh you made that up. XD
His name is Kefka and he looks like a clown. Seems right to me 🤣
Imo the best version is the T-Edition 😂
Best option is backported dialogue to the snes rom.
the GBA version also buggy in a fun way since you can reset levels and duplicate weapons
I mean you could also play the SNES version with a better translation lol
Play the SNES version with the GBA content patched in or play the GBA version with the SNES content patched in. Lol time is a flat circle.
@@LNN_Plays well you cant patch the GBA version into the SNES version due to differences in the game as a whole including the bonus content, which you have mentioned in your video.
My Lord, you are a handsome man!
I have that cart!
Awesome, great game!
well it had new content
GBA ruins the music, which is honestly THE highlight of the game. Otherwise I agree
I mean GBA games have terrible color pallette. Just look at DKC.
Some GBA games have bad color palettes but I think there are plenty of games that look great on GBA like Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga.
2006 for the gba, thats a late release!
It was definitely pretty late. I think they still sell the Game Boy Micro at this time so maybe that's why games were still being released.
You can get away with that when the successor is backwards compatible
