Good to know. I might look into some of these updated versions. A few of them really interest me. Especially the one of III, which gives them actual names and histories and such.

I may have to give this a try. One day. ^^

Hah. VI Advance actually names the "classes" of each character, and some are kind of funny. As in, not what I would have thought. Terra's is something like "Magitek Elite", which is accurate I guess but not really totally descriptive. XD

Interesting. I tend to get way to much into the various class-type things. Magitek Elite, hmmm. I like it.

Any other interesting factoids found in these new versions? Besides accurate translations?

I've only played the first half of FFVI Advance, so I don't have much information. The dialogue is definitely different, though, so it keeps it interesting (not so much like you're playing the old game over again; there's always something new). Some of the Summons have new names, too, which is kind of odd.

Like how did they get new names? It's been ages since I played...but weren't there Shiva/Odin/Bahamut...y'know, the usual summon names in there?

Tritoch became Valigarmanda or something equally ridiculous, Bismark became something I can't remember, etc. And Madonna became Madeline, for some reason. It was just strange, the way they changed some things and not others?
