This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I do hear the sound quality difference though, not enough to bother me, but it is pretty apparent. Haven't heard the Decisive Battle yet though, but I hope it's equally upbeat and exciting since that was one of my favorites. Hope it hasn't changed too much. Have they added any more of those multi-party areas where you split up into groups of 2 or 3 and explore a huge dungeon, much like the Phoenix Cave and Kefka's Tower? After watching the youtube video again, I realize the slowdown is actually very apparent. Not nearly as bad as the PSX, but it's not nearly as smooth as the SNES either, which is a shame. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
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. |
Going slightly off-topic...

Reason: Because there should be more Locke sprites in this post

FELIPE NO |
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, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
@Jamma, I feel the same way! Amazing! I hate all the official artwork of Locke, vastly preferring the sprite and Japanese fanart.
A quick-save feature would be a god-send since I play on the bus. I heard Decisive Battle has been changed too, which sucks as it's one of my favourite FF boss themes. I did listen to some of the music from the official website and didn't notice any cringe-worthy music though. It's not horrible and will suffice for me. Jam it back in, in the dark.

As for the save anywhere function, sure it would make it a bit easier, but it's a bit more friendly for the Handheld gamer. In fact, it's a pain for me to play Tales of Phantasia because if I'm not on the world map, I don't know what to do because I can't save until I find a save point, which there are relatively few. I do play in 5 minute intervals at times though, so not having a save anywhere function would be annoying after a while. I'll still buy it though. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
re: save anywhere There is a memo save function that allows you to save anywhere temporarily, as seen in several previous games. However it is lost should you restart your GBA. Otherwise, saving is the same as the original. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Also some pics from my copy of the JP guide, the front/back covers without the jacket are awesome: I was speaking idiomatically. |
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.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
All of the moogle names got retranslated IIRC (from the screens on the official US site). When I get a chance I'll skim Mog's section in that guide and skim it for anything about Molulu and try to translate that part.
FELIPE NO |
The closest one to Molulu would be Kumama. Well, I suppose it makes sense if its one of the ones in the GBA version, but it definitely came out of left field if their names were faithful to the original. Speaking of names being faithful, is it Vicks and Wedge again, or is it still Biggs and Wedge? I dunno, just a random question, but I'm curious as to see which version of FFVI they retained the names closer to. EDIT: Damn, got beaten to it. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
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. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Locke Moglin Mogret Moggie US SNES original parties: Locke Kupek Kupop Kumama Mog Kuku Kutan Kupan Kushu Kurin Kuru Kamog ....yeah, I'm pretty convinced they just made up shit in the SNES translation. I can't find the screen I saw of Molulu and it's driving me nuts . I'm thinking maybe Kuku = Molulu? If the Mo is dropped they're pretty similar. I guess. If I didn't have to be asleep like 2 hours ago I'd find the rom and just play to that point real quick. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

How ya doing, buddy? |
But I remember that most of them just say "Kupo!". Maybe one or two that might have said something different. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Being my favorite game of all time, I don't believe that this new edition of Final Fantasy VI is worth 2 shits. I highly disappointed that Square Enix is so lackadaisical in reformatting the classics while giving games like FFVII spinoffs their own damn sitcom complete with endorsement deals. I am getting tired of that shit. I think FFVI should be re-evaluated and reformatted for the next gen systems; not just throw together a half assed port with "upgraded graphics and music" (which are both spotty at best). The game would greatly benefit from a makeover.
I was speaking idiomatically.

Ewww no. FFVII is the one that deserves a makeover. Leave FFVI alone, man! I love the FFVI sprites (one of the best things about the game), and just looking at the CGI in the PSX port makes me cringe when I see Locke with blond hair. EWWWWW.... poor guy.
Next gen FFVI...*shudder* Most amazing jew boots |
Once upon a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago, there was a rumor going around that Square was going to remake FF 1-9 to have graphics that of 10. (The rumor is in one of the older issues of PSM I have laying around somewheres) However a little gem called The Spirits Within pretty much broke any hope of that happening. Of course it wouldn't surprise me one bit to have later this year Square going "Oh btw we've got FFVII coming out on PS3. Why lie." FELIPE NO |
I just think the game could branch out quite a bit further and could appeal to a greater gaming population if it were given suitable enhancements. (I do agree that FFVII is a piece and probably NEEDS an upgrade!) But as far as deservingness goes, no game IMO, deserves a rebirth as much as FFVI. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Meh, I wouldn't mess around with a classic. Especially not with the CG versions of the characters, because they truly look like shit. They bear no resemblance to the in-game sprites (or at least very little). They don't need a new version, they just need to have the "Perfect" versions (aka SNES versions) ported to one system untouched.
So yeah, I'm with Wolf on this one. Sure, I'm all for a rebirth of Final Fantasy VI, but not in that respect. I don't even mind a 3D version of it, but dear god, do NOT make Locke look like what he did in the opening movie of the PSX edition. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Dear God! I am definitely not saying that the CGI from the craptastic PSX translation should be the starting ground to rebuild the game. Hell no! (That effort definitely puts ths 'ASS' in EMBARRASSING.)
When I try to visualize an art style for a remake, I would prefer something more along the lines of the actual Yoshitaka Amano artwork illustrations, which are superlative. Use those as as starting point. I believe the CGI was a departure from both the vision of Amano and the awesome original look of the original sprites. That was a complete hack job. I love pixel art as much as the next person, but I believe the fluid dream like nature of Amano's sketches could contain a world of possibility for a visual backdrop. It would likely be extremely difficult to bring those concepts to a gaming palette. But with the technology available to development kits these days, it becomes more of a possibility. Knowing SquareEnix and the way they've been conducting themselves lately, they would probably completely just fuck the whole thing up. However, I can still dream. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
