    What can I say about Final Fantasy VI that hasn't already been said five times already by everyone who picked this GBA port up last week? Read more

    • Engaging battles, large cast of playable characters, added espers, one of the best 16-bit RPGs ever
    • noticeable slowdown on chocobos and airships

    One of Square's most beloved games gives a masterful performance on the Game Boy Advance. Read more

    • One of the greatest RPGs ever made; quick save option makes this perfect on the road.
    • The system's sound quality doesn't do the soundtrack justice; some fights suffer from slow down.

    One of the greatest RPGs of all time now ported (albeit not perfectly) to a handheld system. Read more

    • Tight, satisfying gameplay, an interesting story, a fun, diverse cast.
    • Music suffered a bit in emulation, a teeny bit of slowdown during battles, not as much additional content as in past Final Fantasy GBA ports.

    Truthfully, I have not played through the entire game yet, but at this point, it is one of my favorite games. I personally like FFX better, but that is a more current game and on a more current console, so it has a slight... Read more

    • If you like Final Fantasy games or RPGs in general, there is a pretty good chance that you will love this game. It has great gameplay and story. Like all Final Fantasy games, you will not be disappointed. The graphics are ...
    • The graphics are pretty dark, but that could be because I am playing it on one of the original GBAs. It may be brighter on the SP or DS.
