Item Description

Kefka cackling over a ruined world, an opera staged to lure a gambler and his airship, a general who turns her back on the Empire that made her: Final Fantasy VI is packed with scenes RPG players still talk about, and Final Fantasy VI Advance gathers them onto one cartridge with more content than ever. Tose handled this Game Boy Advance remaster for Square Enix, released in Japan in 2006 and in North America early the following year, and it's far more than a straight port of the 1994 Super Nintendo game many American players first knew as Final Fantasy III.

The heart of it is unchanged. Terra, a young woman with a mysterious gift for magic, is caught between the Gestahl Empire's Magitek war machine and the Returners fighting it, and the story widens into an ensemble of fourteen playable characters, each with a signature trick: Locke's stealing, Edgar's tools, Sabin's fighting-game Blitz inputs, Cyan's Bushido, Setzer's slot reels, Gau's Rages learned on the Veldt. Espers become magicite that lets anyone in the party learn spells, so you shape the group's magic yourself, and the shocking turn halfway through, when the World of Balance gives way to the World of Ruin, still ranks among the boldest moves the series ever made. Nobuo Uematsu's score carries every moment, from Terra's theme to the four-part Dancing Mad.

What the Advance edition adds is substantial. A fresh English translation restores nuance the original localization had to trim, and four new espers join the roster: Leviathan, Gilgamesh, Cactuar and Diabolos. The Dragons' Den opens up as a demanding post-game dungeon with the Kaiser Dragon waiting inside, and the Soul Shrine offers a long gauntlet of battles for anyone who wants to push a fully powered party even further. Purists will notice that the GBA's audio can't fully match the Super Nintendo's sound chip, but the trade is worth it for the extra content.

For a fan who has played the SNES original a dozen times, this is the version with something new to find. For anyone meeting Terra, Celes and Kefka for the first time, it's a complete, portable way to experience the story many players still hold up as the genre's high-water mark.
