1UP's given FFVI Advance the preview treatment, and they are effusive in their praise. However, they're quick to note that the additions and improvements are few. This is very nearly the same game, just as it was released on the SNES -- the backgrounds have not been redrawn and the sound suffers compared to what we've become accustomed to. The added content is slim -- a few new fights, some of which we've seen. But that's okay, because Final Fantasy VI, naked and unadorned, remains one of the most beloved entries in a renowned series. It would seem somehow wrong to dress up a game that is already responsible for so much of what we enjoy in RPGs today.
FFVI Advance previewed, adored
