OH MY GOD WHY DID THEY RERELEASE FINAL FANTASY I, II, IV, V AND VI FOR THE GBA BUT NOT FINAL FANTASY III I'M SO PISSED RIGHT NOW
>>334281476
because the GBA ports all borrow heavily from the Wonderswan ports of 1, 2, and 4. Since the Wonderswan port of 3 was cancelled after the death of Gunpai Yokoi, they didn't bother to do it for the GBA and skipped straight to 5.
FIVE A BEST!~
Chill out bro you got a remake for the DS
>>334282698
that's my problem, i loathe the ds remake (the same applies to the ds remake of IV)
it's just stupid they just skipped III
>>334282210
the amount of grinding necessary to do that goes well beyond level 45
>1&2 remade for GBA
>3&4 remade for DS
>5&6 remade for C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER
>>334282854
Why? Do you hate 3d models or something?
Mechanically and story speaking the 3 remake is pretty much fine and true to the original
>>334281476
The GBA ports of 4 and 6 are garbage anyway. You should be more angry about that.
Best thread to post in I guess...
What is the best way to play FF6? Snes? PS? GBA? PC?
>>334283737
Mobile
>>334283737
For all the slight benefits the others might have, the best overall is still the SNES
>>334283737
snes
>>334283070
but 4, 5, and 6 were also on GBA
>>334283737
Definitely SNES. All the other versions have flaws.
>>334283000
Sorry my friend anon, but it's called BRAVE BLADE!
>>334285684
Does that technique work with the chicken knife?
>>334285684
yeah, and you just had all the AP to master spellsword, ranger and ninja handed to you
>>334283737
Play PC the sprites are much better
>>334286095
Movers in the last area give 250 ap and no exp if I remember right.
>>334286036
Brave blade is the strongest weapon in the game and the chicken knife is like the third strongest due to agility boost from it. You also get second chicken knife in the bonus cave so it would work well but not until you have the second one.
>>334286095
>brave blade stays at 150 when you don't run away from battle.
I NEVER EVER ran away from a fucking battle, so yeah I did get that AP handed to me from all the battles I never ran away from.
>>334283193
>Mechanically and story speaking the 3 remake is pretty much fine and true to the original
That's actually not completely so, also it's slower than FF9 (at least PSP port fixed it) and the low-poly 3D is fairly ugly, if charming in its own way.
I mean. It's really a shame.
>>334283737
SNES with bugfix
or
GBA with sound + graphic patch
>>334286272
199
you can exploit quicksaves to fight them allthe time
>>334283737
GBA with the SNES music is the best way to play. Same with FFV
>>334286524
Shit does play slow as fuck
>>334286583
GBA version, at least.
>>334282854
>(the same applies to the ds remake of IV)
literally the best version you scrub
>>334283737
GBA with restoration patches, gimme a sec I'll share the link
Don't listen to the SNES faggots

GBA version with sound and graphics restoration
>>334283737
Snes with uncensor hack
Originals were better anyways, remakes suck
>>334287363
literally false
>>334283737
GBA 100%. all the GBA ports were god tier and better than the originals
>>334287554
In FF3's case it's true at least. The GBA versions are arguable, you have more content and better translations but worse visuals and sound, even with the sound restoration patches.
>>334287670
>worse visuals and sound
That's wrong objectively and literally.
>>334287985
GBA has worse sound than SNES and it shows regarding ports of the latter on the former. It also has a worse resolution. They aren't wrong.
>that feel when growing up you thought the gba series of handhelds were perfect
>as in literally perfect without flaw
>as an adult years and years later you realize the gba series of handhelds had a giant flaw you cant ignore now
Man. The GBA sound chip is really awful. It makes everything sound like it's struggling to process, like the song is dying almost.
Some music on the gba is okay, but the majority of it sounds really bad.
I'm not saying the music itself is bad. I'm saying the sound quality and how it is processed is bad.
>>334288085
>It also has a worse resolution.
Which doesn't matter because all the sprites are still the same size. You only lose one or two rows of tiles in the overworld and the battle menu has a thinner layout.
>>334288236
GBA music can sound good when it's an original song made with the soundchip in mind. The GBA Pokémon games I think are a great example (despite the trumpet hate meme).
The issue is just trying to port songs to the sound chip really reveals how dinky it is.

Like goddamn.
>>334286524
no. it's garbage. stop pretending to care.
>>334288735
It's funny you mention pokemon. Emerald and Fire Red are the two games that made me go, "Man the gba sounds awful. This sounds so bad." Like last year.
The music in Fire Red, compared to the original, sounds awful seriously.
And yea that smw is a great example really. That sounds really REALLY bad.
>>334289024
You should really kill yourself
>>334289024
To add to my post, also years and years ago when my friend used to play Metroid Fusion a lot when he was visiting, I noticed that I started hating Fusion's sound track because of how bad the system processes sound. Like have you ever sat around someone who is playing Fusion? The music grates, the sound effects grate, the music has no flow at all and has constant hiccups.
>>334288085
Listen to Battle on the Bridge/Gilgamesh's Theme and say that again
>>334289173
Mind explaining why? I still love the GBA.
But the sound quality is pisspoor on the system.
>>334282210
Why the fuck Krile is looking at me?
>>334289275
>nintoddlers explaining why anything is good
it just is!
>>334289024
Fire Red less so, but I still think Emerald has some god-tier tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyzCDg6NYNc
Like the trumpet solo in the second half of the loop here has so much character to itwhich is why it's fucking bullshit that they replaced it with a string ensemble playing that part in ORASIt just sounds very strong to me, and I think RSE has a number of powerful tracks like it.
>>334289415
Like I said.
The music, the song itself is fine. I have no problem with it whatsoever.
The QUALITY of it though, sounds awful.
>>334289669
I apologize but I don't really understand how you can think that.
It just seems like a weird thing to say, to think the song is fine but think it's low-quality. In my opinion the composition of the song is directly tied to the sound chip, considering how the game's remake changes the instruments to completely different ones, which to me changes the tone of the song. Route 104 in RSE was compoased how it is specifically because of the soundchip they used.
>>334289320
Shit anon. Do something about that.
>>334289891
I guess I mean, it could sound much better quality wise.
It could sound more clear and more precise.
>>334289232
Some random from page 1 here, I decided to do just that.
The SNES version does sound better for the most part, but I prefer the GBA version's extra brass once it gets past the intro.
>>334290006
You know what I think might be enamoring me to RSE's music more, actually, now that I think about it?
I ripped the MIDIs from the game, soundfont intact, and have been playing them from a MIDI player when I want to listen to one. I just checked an in-game rip of Sootopolis and compared it to my ripped MIDI and I noticed the quality is a lot clearer while retaining the instruments instead of changing them like ORAS. That might be it.
>>334281476
didnt they lose the source code to 3
Are FFV and FFVI good GBA ports for the most part? I want to get them all, but I don't want to play DKC-tier shit.

>>334290436
You could do worse than playing the GBA ports of DKC.
I grew up with the GBC port.
>>334290640
Donkey Kong Lands were good, but damn did they mess up Country on GBC.
>>334282854
But the DS remakes of both are significant improvements over the originals, even if you don't like the 3D.

Probably, PS1 and PSP didn't get FFIII ports either.

These all have sound restoration and a lot of fixes
Also includes mGBA
>>334283000
No all you need is 2-3 ppl using bard, 1 person using time magic and 1 mystic knight.
What you want to do is use the bards to cast the stop song, the time mage to haste everyone and the mystic knight bolt swording.
If you arent fast enough for his first attack equip everyone with fire absorbing equpment to survive his initial attack then its cheese city the rest of the way
>>334294071
What about color restoration and uncensored scenes?
>>334294248
those too

I used a Time Mage with the Mix ability to debuff the fuck out of the boss, I think (might've been the other superboss, this was the SNES version so there were only two).

It's a reference to the front-facing sprites in FF3.
