I'm not really at all excited about FFV Advance. I played through a considerable portion of the original, and I just didn't enjoy it. For people who love FFV, I'm glad they're getting a revamped GBA version, but I personally don't care a whole lot about it.

Oh man, FFV ranks as probably my second favorite in the series, but to reply to Elpizo's remark hinting the differences between the versions...simply put: The story is the same. I own FF Anthology, have beat FFV, and I'm a story guy. No need to buy the same game AND a GBA for a game I'm already in love with and don't need more convincing.

Plus, I can spend my money elsewhere rather than having 2 FFV games.

I know the story is the same, but beating the guy who created the Void might add to some more story background, who knows? I'm on my way to Enuo right now (but it's HARD!). But, I understand. Thanks for clearing it up.

FFVA is most likely being overshadowed by the release of both FFIII DS and FFXII. Even though FFV is an excellent game and the GBA remake is most likely very well done and has Spoiler: Enuo as a new secret boss and also a new secret dungeon, it's more likely that FFIII DS will get more attention since it's never been released outside Japan before, and the graphics and sound have been completely remade, and the story and characters have been improved a bit too. However, neither will get the attention FFXII gets because FFXII is a whole new FF game rather than a remake, and so far, it seems many have found XII to be a very good game too.

I'd probably say I'm more excited about FF5 since I'm more likely to play it sooner, especially since FFXII comes out in Europe in 2007

Any game Ive played and beaten several times that is being re-released dosent intrest me as much as a brand spanking new game which Ive never played before and likely could be even better.

Hmm, first main-series FF release in years vs port of a 1992 Super Famicom game.

Gee, I wonder which is going to win out.

i am excited to play FFV advance. but also FFXII looks like a good game, and you'd be a fool to dismiss it without playing it and making your own judgements.
