Play Final Fantasy VI Advance (US)(Nintendo)(64Mb) Online Free

The critically acclaimed RPG returns on GBA. Final Fantasy VI Advance features an epic story of magic and rebellion against the Empire. Control up to 14 characters, summon Espers, and explore a steampunk world. This version includes new dungeons, spells, and a refined translation.

Game Overview

Magic has faded from the world while machine civilization rose in its place, and the Gestahlian Empire uses Magitek armor to conquer everything in reach. Tina, a girl with no memory of her past, ends up with the Returners, the resistance fighting that empire. Final Fantasy VI debuted on the Super Famicom in 1994; Tose handled this Game Boy Advance port, released in Japan at the end of November 2006 and in North America on February 5, 2007. Fourteen playable characters each bring their own command and their own theme.

Core Gameplay

Combat runs on the Active Time Battle system, where gauges fill by speed and commands have to be issued inside a shifting window. Characters learn spells by equipping Magicite, which also grants stat bonuses on level up and can be summoned, so party composition is entirely up to you. Once the world breaks apart, the second half drops the linear objective and hands you an airship to track down scattered allies one by one.

Port Additions

Over the Super Famicom original, this version adds four Espers - Leviathan, Gilgamesh, Cactuar and Diabolos - plus a new dungeon called the Dragons' Den, guarded by Kaiser Dragon, an enemy that was coded into the original but never used. The Soul Shrine offers continuous battles for grinding, and three new spells, new equipment for every character, a bestiary and a music player round out the additions. The script was retranslated from the Japanese with Japanese naming conventions restored (Thundara rather than Bolt2) and a batch of original bugs fixed; the trade-off is that the PlayStation version's FMV sequences are absent.
