Thinking of starting up a Final Fantasy VI playthrough again, it's been a long, long time. Is there a preferred version these days? Usually these games have like a fan patch of the japanese version to provide a "better" translation and bugfixes. Or should I just play the US release SNES "Final Fantasy 3" version? Not interested in any 3D remakes.

Sounds good to me, thanks

The GBA version has some extra content.

are you talking about that stupid dungeon which just repeats all fucking monsters and a awful puzzle that is abysmal for a game with random encounters. Especially because there are no(?) new mosnters and even if there are new monsters, recycling monsters for bonus content is just fucking garbage. I watched adam kobold play through the dungeon, and I am so glad he stopped playing it. This "bonus" dungeon is the cheapest garbage anyone ever made. Fucking trash. Respectfree square can go fuck themself.

If only.
That said, GBA version with sound restoration patch. Brave New World hack is also good, but it uses SNES version with means dealing with Woolsey translation.

Mobile/Steam is the go to version these days, has the best of every version that came before plus higher resolution graphics for enemies and backgrounds. If it has one flaw is the stupid interface on the pc

Except the changed the translation a lot in Brave New World, and even added in a few extra scenes. None of the extra stuff really changes the story of the game besides how they have this whole sequence with Celes when escaping the floating continent. You could tell the romhackers had a hard on for Celes. I wish there was a "light" version of BNW that really only had the bug fixes and balances changes with spells and stats without any of the extra story shit they added.

The only things good in the new content were Leviathan and Cactuar, due to how they fill some gaps in missing content. Most patches just give Raiden speed though, and Leviathan's isn't even an issue if you take Mog through the trench.

You literally can win the game at level 30 by spamming Ultima and win DECIDEDLY, it's not even close.

Here's a silly lore question: Is the Ultima spell considered black or white magic?

The fonts and music are literally best on the USA cart.

That said, my last few times around in the past several years, I always use My PS1 Anthology. To this day I don't know how to get a perfect "system file" on that edition (an opaque executive summary of your performance in the game across characters/items/etc), nor have I been able to turn up any tips after slight effort. If anyone knows anything about the "system file" on the PS1 version I'd be much obliged. That's basically the thing I'd want to 100 percent but despite at least two pretty-good runs where I was getting all the rages, lores, dances, and items and such at the earliest opportunities, these weird "percentages" I'm describing never seemed to match up at all what I'd actually done in the game. I even make sure I get both mag roaders (a goofy, convoluted thing in itself).

DEFINITIVE OPINION:

>PC
The Steam version gives you the best of both worlds. GBA's content and script with SNES' sound. Screenshots look like shit, the game looks better in action.

>GBA
Requires the graphics restoration and sound restoration patches or else it looks ugly and sounds ugly.
>muh resolution
Nigga, it's 100 pixels lmao.

The script is better. Who cares about a two second scene that does nothing for anything? It has bonus content, but the game is so fucking easy that it doesn't really challenge you

>SNES
Le Woolsey maymays and "censorship" which again, are things so inconsequential and without impact that you really wouldn't notice or miss it if some glorious Nipponer didn't tell you. The font is horrid, and there's bugs that you'll need to patch, probably, if you care about that sort of thing. There are hacks available for the SNES game like Brave New World that give the game a much deserved gameplay overhaul and is the only one worth considering. It makes magic not OP and restricts espers based on characters so you get pseudo-classes.
