    It's not a perfect port, but you'd be hard pressed to make a more technically able game on the GBA. Having one of the greatest RPGs ever made in your pocket is simply too awesome not to recommend. Read more

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

    Having said that, it’s not all fighting and killing, there is also the usual RPG elements to indulge in as well. Chatting with the local people picking up gossip, solving puzzles, marching into homes hoovering up peoples hard earned items, taking the slightly more honest route with some shopping and generally getting lost. There are also some less conventional sequences that break FFVI out of the fetch-quest rut everybody seems to have fallen into these days. In one... Read more

    Graphically Final Fantasy VI Advance is certainly showing its age. Bear in mind back in the day of the Super Nintendo (SNES) the graphics in this game were pretty nice. The lack of upgrades is disappointing, especially at the thirty US dollars price tag this game is being sold for. As far as GBA games go the graphics are pretty good. There is a lot of fighting where the player’s team is on one side and attacks, and then the enemies on the other side register a hit.... Read more

    You might remeber this one as FFIII, but if you don't, no worries, it just happens to be one of the best Final Fantasy games in the series. This portable version captures the original perferctly except for some annoying (and unnecessary) retooling of the music and a touch of editing here and there. Otherwise it is a perfect port and a perfect format to rediscover this classic game with its timeless depiction of a battle between magic and technology. Read more
