I... might have to get that.

I know the Virtual Console is all about releasing the exact original version, unedited, but would it really hurt them to change an "III" to an "VI"? It's only going to cause confusion calling it Final Fantasy III, when it's actually Final Fantasy VI.

On EU Virtual Console too? Because it originally never came out here.

And here I thought the newer 3D version of FF3 was hitting VC :P

I'm with @MattyFTM, they should be calling it FF6, and maybe use one of the fine fan translations available for FF6j

Nintendo will never, ever, ever be that progressive.

Still holding out for an updated release before playing FF6 again. Hopefully such a release will be something like the FF4CC on PSP where it looks like a higher definition version of the same game instead of the weird looking polygonal NDS ones.

I wish they'd just put the VC library up on 3DS Ware. You know they're going to do it eventually anyways. Being a 3DS owner is so depressing.

@Zeouterlimits: I think the EU Virtual Console has Final Fantasy VI as well. 
 
While it would've been nice if they changed few things, that would've taken far more effort than just putting the game up for sale. 
I'm excited for this since I never played it. I know I have a gift card I haven't used somewhere.

I would buy this on 3DS. On the Wii, little interest.

DinosaurDemonon July 1, 2011 at 6:15 p.m.
@Oni, Agreed. As much as I love this game, I don't think at this point even this is enough to make me plug my Wii in again.

I can see the value, but anyone who wants to play this has already done so on another system.

@Xpgamer7: That is a patently ridiculous statement because it assumes that everyone who wants to try a classic game was alive when it first came out, or has since owned a system the game was ported to AND took the time to play it then.

Comments about Ocarina 3D have disproved both those assumptions, and FF3 is an older game than that.

You spoony bard. :p

Sold!

Alright I'm generalizing, but it has been ported so many times that there probably isn't a huge crowd awaiting it.

eh not really. The whole point of the VC is to bring back the games unedited for everyone to replay or experience. When the game came out back on the snes, it was called Final Fantasy VI. So that's what they would call it.

So how was this a trailer? Someone started the game and recorded the third battle and decided that was a trailer?
animaltimeon July 2, 2011 at 8:22 a.m.
Lobo the wolf should have his own spin-off.

Still gotta like that music though.

@Haoshiro: The original translation was both fine and hilariously camp at times.
