Square is giving Game Boy Advance loyalists another chance to fire up the portable with the expansive adventure Final Fantasy VI.
Final Fantasy VI was originally released in the United States under the title Final Fantasy III for the Super Nintendo, marking it as the last U.S. title to follow the differing lineage prior to the franchise's infamous jump to part seven.
The game's story revolves around the War of the Magi, in which the world was torn apart by creatures known as espers. When it had seemed like the espers and magic had vanished from the world, 1,000 years following the war, an esper is found frozen inside of a mine. Players embark on an epic quest to uncover its secrets and protect it from the Empire along with a large cast of playable characters.
The Game Boy Advance release marks the first time Final Fantasy VI has been available in portable form. Rolling out the red carpet for the release, Square is adding new dungeons into the mix as well as a few other new features.
Enhanced graphics flesh out the package as Square looks to release the title, which may be the system's final big-name game, on Feb. 5.

Best game ever made. FF VII? FF VIII? No way dude, Final Fantasy VI (also know as Final Fantasy III in america) is t father and the Lord of the saga. Long life to Kefka.

FFVI is the lord of all FF, in the base of his briliante story. As a matter of fact, The world was not torn apart by the espers, but yes by humans that wanted the power of the espers! that was the the real thing behind the war of Magi
Long life Kefka I say as well

You don't expect the world to end in the middle of the game, nor do you expect many things in this. This final fantasy game, to my knowledge was marked as the 'Greatest game ever made' in many RPG places still. We don't even have a real 'chosen one' who gets most of the power. At first, it's Terra until she becomes an esper and evenually, Celes becomes the main character for a short amount of time. Even at the ending, Terra's role is basically equal to everyone else's.
Great game, Lord of all GBAs, easily, lord of more things, but too much to list.

This game is what all rpgs drive to be, if youve never played a final fantasy, this is a good place to start. the graphics may not be the best in the world... but who needs graphics when the story line is so good it makes me want to cry and boast about it every time i hear the games name. phenomenal game. 10/10

Sure this is the best FF ever. The plot is incredible! The sound and music is amazing (SNES has the best sound)! What can one say? Just play it and see... it IS the best RPG ever made for video games!

Cloud may be the king of all FF characters, but Terra is the queen ruling at his side, not Tifa.
