This is a comprehensive review & comparison of Final Fantasy VI for the Super Famicom, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, Android, iOS, and Steam. This includes the recently released Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster as well for PC and smart phones. We cover gameplay changes, bugs, localization, visuals, music, balance and content differences. This comparison should inform you of any and all significant differences between each different version of the game, enough so that you could decide which version you think you'd prefer. It also provides a common ground for discussion among which versions others may prefer. We have a lot to say about bugs due to the popular nature of FFVI meaning it's been very heavily researched by fans.

One mod that was not mentioned in this video is "The World Reborn" mod for the delisted Android port on Steam. This mod basically redoes all of the sprite work in the game, undoes any censorship, swaps the ost with a fully orchestrated OST (including a singing Celes during the Opera scene), has the extra GBA content, and it has a ton of other minor changes and fixes and it has allows for a ton of tinkering for the perfect tailored experience to the user. In my opinion that is the definitive way to play this game, but it requires a mod to play.

@S-K-L-C 2 года назад

It is mentioned at 15:53. It's called "Atma Weapon Mod" now. What you mentioned is an old version of it.

@baddog6003 2 года назад

Atma Weapon mod lets you pick and choose different things from A World Reborn. Can play with original ost and sprites, or other different combinations of A World Reborn and other stuff. This is the closest thing to definitive in my view, but Square Enix pulled it. I don't like the PR.

The pixel remasters are poor all round . Really could have done with options for all the different music and graphic options + the extra content being a toggle. It would be expensive to do but damn would it be a dream

@Handheld_Handle 8 месяцев назад

I think Pixel Remaster are based on the original NES/Famicom and SNES/SFC ports of the game better graphics (probably), the colors and some sprites look similar to GBA but they're all based on the originals, also best music and a very little extra new things such Auto Battle from Final Fantasy III (PSP) which is the only thing kept to the remasters, also Bestiary and I'm not sure if they're a audio player too, I've only tried 1 and 2 for Android and didn't like it so much why did I put this here oh, graphic options are terrible, only adds scanlines to the whole screen, I thought it changes the graphics to original games at first to me, but atleast it's worth with the achievements and quality of life changes such as faster animations (especially you don't have to wait so long to rest at the inn), also I'm not sure why I can't run with the analog stick but I can when I tap the screen to walk on Android or probably my issue

I actually have A pristine copy of the game til this day. One of the best titles in the franchise.

@davidmoak1219 Год назад

Same, I own 4 SNES cartridges. FF2, FF3, Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger. Not even sure if they work been about 10 years since I tried any of them I just play them on emulator these days... but they represent unbridled fun times from my childhood 25-30 years ago. Plus they probably still have all my saves on them, not that I'll ever play them again.

@Gamxin Год назад

Sure, but if a mod let me play an inferior port of my favorite game that had more content than the original, but restored everything bad about the port back to how the original was, I would automatically prefer that one just for the new content.

This is gonna be a long shot, but I'd really love to see an all-encompassing port review on the various ports of Puyo Puyo Fever, especially considering that game has had at least 10 different versions released across multiple platforms. But, as someone who rarely comments, allow me to say that your videos are so informative and entertaining, they tickle the super nerdy side of me that looks up this info in short bursts on my own time, but to have it all in a single video is beyond informative, convenient, and helpful. Major kudos for all your hard work! I'm really looking forward to those upcoming Chrono videos, especially Cross, since it holds a special place in my heart, as it was the RPG that got me into RPG's.

@nelisezpasce 2 года назад

nice pfp

@tamerkoh 2 года назад

I can pitch in there, since I played a few of them. It mostly boils down to presentation and features. Obviously the handheld versions of it are going to have compressed/more pixelated looking graphics, and more compressed sounds/music, but I think the DS version is the best for both presentation and content. It's the only version that allows you to freeplay with up to 8 players (including CPUs in that count), and has different rulesets to play with as well. It's also the only version that has a world map view between battles, and the character expression circles on the bottom screen. This would be true for any DS/3DS port of a Puyo game, by the way, these are the only versions that sport that effect. The other versions are all basically the same, except the console ones like PS2 just have 3D effects on the Puyo as the pop.

@StreamdancerSmurgle 2 года назад

Uodate: July 6 version 1.0.6 patch dropped. patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/1173820/view/3325361215004048079?l=english Update: March 28 version 1.05 of PR dropped. The patch notes are substantial, so it's worth giving a glimpse. At the very least, for what's relevant in the video, you can't swap to espers you don't have anymore. Also, outside the update, it's been brought up that the imperial salute animation is still used elsewhere in the game outside of the original flashback cutscenes. That's the only instance where it was changed. Anyway, patch notes: store.steampowered.com/news/app/1173820/view/3128319763052263625

Thanks so much for this! I'm playing through III - VI of the Pixel Remasters, and I'm currently midway through V. These are my first experiences with all of these games, aside from briefly trying the original iOS port of V. As someone accustomed to the Pixel Remasters and looking back- the backgrounds and spell effects look great in the Pixel Remasters, but the character sprites and UI look better in the original. I especially like the dimmer color palate in the SNES version of VI. I've been debating if I want to do the Pixel Remaster for VI as well or do a different version. I think I'll stick to the Pixel Remaster for convenience's sake, but I'll definitely be using a font mod. I didn't realize how bad the Pixel Remaster font was until seeing more footage of earlier versions.

@eivarden 2 года назад

Something I was hoping to be reviewed, is the differences in stats and potency. in SNES, Edgar could still so massive dmg with Ultima. Where as in the GBA version, it would hit for hundreds of dmg, and you'd need to give Ultima to an actual caster character, in order to deal good dmg with Ultima. While this ruins the "everyone can be anything" system of SNES, it did make the characters far more unique from eachother, leading to building to their strengths. (also showing off their strengths in the added dungeons) Does anyone know if the pixel remaster has done this? Does Sabin have his normal low magic defense with normal dmg scaling as the SNES version? or is it like the GBA version where he has a hidden multiplier, taking more magic dmg than anyone else (i think it was x2 dmg taken) mostly since he was too strong of a character, and is pretty much his only down side, making him less OP in the GBA version.

Minor correction, the "censored" Imperial salute only happens in the flashback to Gestahl's rallies. All Imperial soldiers throughout the game still do the Nazi salute. You can see this as soon as 20 minutes after the "censored" salute, when Kefka is stuck in the desert and his soldiers heil him.

What I don't I understand is why they need to "cencored" it? I mean let them be as the main enemy. I think this way it's like they don't want to make an enemy of them.

@@TsumitaTenshi Likely because Celes was in the flashback. I can't imagine they want their all-new sprites doing that pose whether it's roman or nazi, considering the state of video game political discourse in 2022. Honestly, the V salute still does the job for me, because it's banzai?

@Zman82 2 года назад

Although they fixed bugs in later editions, none of the remakes captured the same feeling of the original release. A true classic, that stands the test of time.

@Stratelier 2 года назад

One of the little things I've come to like with the original (when compared to later editions) is how the enemy list on the menu only listed the types of enemies in the party, without identifying which enemy was which, and it didn't identify an enemy when you cursored over it in battle. Among other things, this meant that the giant, 3-phase monstrosity you fought leading up to Kefka proper _wasn't named_ -- yes each part canonically has a name but you were never told this, encouraging you to view it as a single unknown "thing" you take down part by part rather than several discrete enemies grouped together.

@paperluigi6132 2 года назад

Given how these six games in specific are definitely more associated with Nintendo than PlayStation, they would be losing out on a lot of money if they didn’t port them to Switch. If they do release them, I hope they do something similar to Danganronpa Decadence. Digitally, you can get the games individually, but physically, it’s all-in-one cartridge.

This is me responding to your request for requests, months later, as I plowed through FF1 PRM earlier in the week and am ready to tackle the remaining five now. =) First, and most importantly, thank you so much for your exhaustive detail. Repeating yourself in reviews is a pain in the ass, but you did it with a balance that gets someone what they need if they're only watching one as well as in a way that wasn't tedious for someone who watched all six videos in a row, like I did. Haha. Now for the actual request - this might be heretical to some, but I'd absolutely love to get your input on the various Zelda games. I only played one back in the day, but I know I'd like to be as familiar with them as I am with the FF franchise. And while I presume there've been fewer ports overall, I'm sure the modding community is as committed over there are they are here. =) Thanks again, boss. These videos are invaluable.

@carlosmendoza1177 2 года назад

Very interesting video, final fantasy 6 is my favorite of the series, and this was a good way to rerelease the game in my opinion, not the best of course but still way better than the previous mobile/steam version, the remade soundtrack is good, and it even has a mod for restoring the original snes ost for those that prefer the original, it’s really sad that they didn’t include all the gba bonus content, specially when the previous version did have it and now it’s unavailable (officially anyway), otherwise this would have been the definitive ff6 version, hopefully it will be later included with a mod, or maybe square-enix will include it in a future patch, but knowing them it will surely be a dlc of some sorts (if they decide to add the bonus content at all, so prefer to put my faith in the modding community rather than In Square enix)

I'd say that SNES version is still the best. Especially with TWUE. It's not essential, but it does give it a more polished feel. My biggest issue with the pixel remaster is that is has less graphical fidelity than the SNES version. The sprites just don't look good.

@TonyTonyRedgrave 2 года назад

It really just looks worse. That's how I feel about these "remasters," there's always a better looking version, at the very least for the 3 SNES games certainly (and with FF1 I would easily take PS1 any day). FF6's original look is especially timeless with a CRT or good CRT shader. It didn't need this. It would be more respectful to the game's legacy just release a lazy packaged emulator and rom.

My vote is for the Pixel Remaster based simply on the fact that Uematsu remastered the music as well. The opera scene now has lyrics during the multiple acts and it really adds something special. I also appreciate not having to memorize Sabin's blitz attacks anymore as the sequence is shown on the screen. Similar with Cyan's blade techniques. You just pick one then move onto your next fighter rather than waiting for the meter to fill before doing anything.
