[Classic] Final Fantasy VI Advanced

Some of those changes are pretty surprising. Retranslating Palidor seems really unnecessary, and the Moogle Charm made perfect sense before since it was found in the Moogles' cave. Why would it be changed to Molulu? Kefka's submariner line was something that I expected to be changed though, so that's not really disappointing.

I still intend to pick this up the day it's released. Portable FF VI will be an awesome way to kill time between classes, and this is one game I never get tired of replaying.

These changes include retranslations of the esper Tritoch (now Valigarmanda)

Owned like hell.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Watch Gau speak better english than Cyan in the new translation.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

They censored out the Celes beating scene? Damn, I was hoping they'd give us a version without the censorships the SNES version received in the US.

Never mind that, exactly what is "new" and not renamed?

The graphics look the same, except maybe the font has been turned into the Game Boy Advance Font. And apparently, there is now Leviathan, Gilgamesh, and Cactuar for summons. Looks like they just took the summons from the other games. But hell, I'm not complaining. except for Cactuar, which is (or was) a normal enemy in the game. The soundtrack that's been "remixed" isn't nearly as good as the original either.

I think the big thing that's completely new is the Dragon's Den dungeon. Not sure if there's an actual point to it like FF IV Advance's extra challenges for each character, though.

I still can't figure out why they'd change Moogle Charm to Molulu's Charm. There's not really a more appropriate name for a relic found in the Moogles' cave and only equippable by Mog.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Speaking of CAG, one deal that you can get is a $10 gift card at Best Buy if you buy any two DS/GBA games in their ad if you're a Reward Zone member. I'll be picking up FF VI and Diddy Kong Racing DS together.

Nutty just wants to be able to say I have a girl's name online as well as off.

As for the save function, FF IV Advance was normal. I'd be disappointed if they added a save anywhere function, since making it to a save point was half the challenge in some dungeons. It's no fun if there's no fear of death from random battles.

I was speaking idiomatically.

True, a quick save wouldn't be a bad idea. Still, I really doubt that it will have one unless they added something into FF V Advance too. We'll just have to hope Sprint Shoes can get us to a save point quickly enough.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Ah, okay. If they retranslated one of the moogles in the beginning battle then it would be a better name than Moogle Charm. In the SNES translation all of the moogles except for Mog had Ku- names.

FELIPE NO

Kumama was always my favorite in that opening battle.

Vicks has been changed to Biggs too, but that was expected. Now the first venture into Narshe won't be one long advertisement for VapoRub.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Amano's scenery and monster designs are gorgeous, and they would make for an amazing game. His people look like albino zombies though, and aside from a few characters (Umaro, Gogo, and generally those who look less human anyway) I've never liked the in-game portraits much. I love the sprites, and I'm glad they didn't attempt to overhaul the graphical style.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dang, they left it out? Oh well, it's not like I haven't played the SNES version enough times to remember exactly what happens anyway. I ended up swinging by Best Buy to grab this and Diddy Kong Racing, though I'm sort of back to playing FF IV Advance now. I'll just have to balance the two until I finish up on the moon.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, the Shadow thing is complete crap. I loved that line. Oh well, just another story about the good ol' days when talking to young'uns.

"In MY day Celes got the shit kicked out of her by soldiers, and Shadow killed his mother!"
"That's nice, but we were talking about FF XVII..."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh, that's right. I love the line, but I always forget where it's actually said in the game. I keep thinking it's in Shadow's introduction when you first meet him.

Slight Spoilers/Helpful Hints

Spoiler:

I made a new game file after I realized I missed some monsters and I had just gotten Terra, after the Magitek Facility at Vector. I'm glad I started over because I ALSO found out that I missed some one-chance items. For example, during Locke's scenario, there is a Ribbon that can be found while you're escaping with Celes. This is one out of four discoverable Ribbons in the entire game and I'm happy to have realized that now. I also rediscovered some other interesting tidbits. During Terra's brief scenario, there's an item that can be procured in the Mog Village located behind the area where she fell and was saved by Locke in the beginning of the game. Originally, the item in the chest is a Rune Blade, but if you dont get it and wait until the WoR, it turns into an entirely different item.

Mm.. Good stuff. This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I had NO IDEA that the select button changes your character if their ATB gauge is full. This is extremely handy!

Yeah, I miss being able to change characters with Select so much while playing FF IV. It's especially handy for saving your healer's turn if a boss has some devastating attack.

Spoiler:

What does the Rune Blade chest turn into for the World of Ruin? I hadn't heard about that. I always stop for that Ribbon in Locke's scenario though. It's a bit difficult to find if you don't know where to look.
