    Advance>Wii VC>SNES>PSN>PSX for the simple version. It gets more complex if you add in the various versions of the SNES cart.

    Advance is the least buggy and has the most content, a slightly better translation and the bonus content is actually interesting and for the most part worthwhile.

    SNES version has the best music and sound effects, and I prefer the font. Wii version is the ultimate expression of the SNES version.

    Just saw this, jumping on board, going to follow, watch, etc. But damn I'm going to have to relocate a DS that can play GBA games so that I can play FF6 Advance.

    Even after the DS was released, I purchased both a GBA SP (AGS-101 with the fancy backlight) and GBA Micro for the purpose of having a "purist" option for playing my GBA catalog well into the DS's rise to power. Best decisions I ever made - I still use both the GBA SP and the Micro regularly just for games like FF6.

    FF6 Advance is remarkable - it's just a great, great port. By all means play it on any device you can get your hands on.

    It's probably nostalgia speaking, but the GBA port rubs me the wrong way. I think it's the sounds and new translation.

    I much prefer the original version's music over the Advance's ported music.

    In patch 4.3 we’re changing the daily battleground (BG) to reward 100 conquest for a win (up from 25). In addition, every non-rated BG that you win will also give you 50 conquest.

    I watched the Advance version of the opera house on youtube the other day. The lyrics from the original are engrained in my memory, but I really have to admit that the new lyrics really are just...better.

    That being said I miss the old voices :)

    Glad to see this thing is moving again. The SNES FF6 sountrack still remains one of my all time favorite game OSTs, right up there with Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2. I downloaded a vocal version of the opera scene from somewhere that had the words in Japanese. It was pretty interesting and still very pretty to listen to. With all the remakes/re-ports of FF games these days, I'd be concerned if this installment would really be done justice, despite the large cry from the fan-base to remake it. The original is just so damn good; you just never know with Square's tendency to whore their franchises.

    Buttons, ponies, and other random stuff

    I'm still holding onto hope that they will do a Final Fantasy 6 remake similar to the FF3 and FF4 versions on the DS. It's my favorite story/cast/soundtrack/etc. in the entire FF series. That said... ports, ports, and more ports can make even the most enduring classics seem kinda stale after a while - I think a nice 3D redux would be very cool to play through for a change.

    Ok, but only if it isn't in the style as though games. I don't think I could stomach that.

    Thank the maker that the LP looks fantastic on the new board.

    Would have updated yesterday but couldn't for obvious reasons. Will update on either Saturday or Sunday.

    I can agree there. The remakes for 3 and 4 reminded me more of "Final Fantasy as portrayed by an all-too-cute cast of Precious Moments dolls."

    Ok, here's something I've been meaning to post in this thread, but haven't because lazy.

    Nobuo Uematsu, the composer for Final Fantasy VI, and of course many other games, including most of the main Final Fantasy games, had a band called the Black Mages http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Mages that released three albums primarily filled with Final Fantasy songs played as a progressive rock sort of thing. Four of these songs were from Final Fantasy VI, and two have been heard in the LP so far.

    The main battle theme:



    And one of the boss themes:



    The other two we haven't gotten to yet, but I'll post those when we get there for those of you who aren't familiar which this.

    I think I'm going to update...tomorrow.

    In a few days I'm going to be house sitting for a week and will probably do daily updates to try and catch up a bit.
