Oh wow the retranslation of FF5 on the GBA is... kinda... really friggin bad. I think the fan translation of the SNES version was actually better what hte heck
@Nine is the PSX one better?
@Felthry Translation wise? ...I dunno. Never managed to get a copy back then. Gameplaywise? Avoid. The load times are absolutely ridiculous ><;
@Nine yeah the psx version was how we first played chrono trigger, ffiv, and ffvi though we never got into v on it
@Felthry I played an emulated version of 6 (well... 3US really) first, so when I saw 6 on the PS1 I was like "OOOH I GOTTA GET THAT! LEGIT COPY!!" and then I tried playing it and it was physically painful.
Any time a battle started, ANY time I went into a town or out of a town, ANY time I went to the MENU... five second load times. It was absolutely ridiculous.
@Nine yeah it's pretty terrible
not sure what the definitive version to get is really. probably the gba one?
@Felthry From what I've heard, the best thing to do is get a Final Fantasy 3 US SNES rom, and then patch it with the Ted Woolsey Uncensored patch apparently? That makes it basically Final Fantasy 6 but actually in english and with bug fixes as well by all accounts, and fixes some of the music and instrumentation, as well as tweaking the opera scene to rhyme better.
@Nine I guess that patch on a repro cart is probably the way to go for having a physical copy of FFVI
or probably the GBA version if you want an official one
