What do you call it?

Lately I hear people calling the Final Fantasy VI advance for gba a remake.
Am i the only one who doesnt think this is a remake?
I think its more a port than a remake, at best maybe an 'expansion'. All thats happened is there are a few extra dungeons and a retranslation. I wouldnt even say the graphics got updated, just a few brighter palletes. Thats not to say its not great and all though

To me a remake means that you change a majority of the game, like all the FFI remakes. Not just have stuff 'added'

Does anyone think this way or do you imagine the music thats playing in Gau's father's house when you read my rambling?

I dunno, I consider it a DEMAKE.

Only because I like the SNES script better and scenes like Celes getting smacked were taken away. Also, Bright colors suck and the music also lost some quality.

I'd call it a slight update at best.

It's not a remake. It's a port with extra features.

It's Final Fantasy 6 and it's portable. Now shut up and enjoy.

Im glad people agree with me, I only wanted to discuss this because of the "All the older ff's I-VI received remakes so FFVII should get one" reason i keep hearing and i thought maybe I was the noob. I was getting abit annoyed and wanted to make sure before i say something dumb

Now i have to go correct people on the internet. It's a tough job but someones gotta do it!

edit: on that note i also assume that everyone doesnt regard the ps1 version as a remake either...

It is not a remake. If it were it would not make use of it's original skin.
It is a port, just like the GBA. Just with slight coding delays. AKA, loading slowdowns.

I wish they had included the completion percentage for each character when you beat the game, like in the PSOne version. I enjoyed having that stat to look over.
