GBA vs. DS version - Page 6

Oh they look far more awesome in Dissidia than in anything else, there's not even any contest with that. I hate being disagreeable and all, but I find the chibi 3D appearance really difficult to take seriously. It just doesn't really seem very awesome at all. I really wanted to have cool full-grown characters instead of 12-year-old cosplayers. Sorry.

However, at least they decided not to go that route when doing things like Star Ocean 3 and 4, or games like FF VII, FF VIII, FF IX, FF X [even though I didn't care for this FF], FF X-2, FF XI, FF XII, and currently they aren't doing it for FF XIII either.

Meh... Say what you want, my opinion remains the same. The DS versions of the characters are pure awesome!

Hahaha. VeloZer0 and Omecle would agree with you on that one it seems, so you aren't alone.

Really tough call. But I'd have to go with the DS version because Matrix Software did a great job at remaking it while keeping it true to the original. Only thing really missing is the extra stuff from the GBA version, but IMO that's no big shakes.

EDIT: Ah poop, I didn't realize this thread was almost a month old. ~_~

Well I plan to get the GBA version. I know what Wk thinks but does the DS version really flesh out the plot better than Advance?

The DS version gets 2 new scenes and the ability to read your parties thoughts when you are in the menu screen. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same so you can't go wrong with the GBA version either.
