The PS1 version was only ever released in the UK this article is misleading! Visit the official Square Europe website! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.202.172.246 ( talk) 14:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
AM I right to assume the PAL PS1 release of FFVI was only released in the UK and in English? I'm sure it was released because of the FFX demo bundled with it. I won the copy as well but I'm sure it says for sale in the UK and Ireland only. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.142.13.252 ( talk) 21:02, August 23, 2007 (UTC) I am now positive this was only released in the UK and have added sources from IGN and Gamespy.
Hmm.... is profanity in FFVI censored in anyway? I am talking about the SNES, the PS1 and the GBA releases. I am confused. Deckiller, anybody, can you help me out on this?

If you can find a source for Stragus being shortened to Strago, this mess can end. -- Sir Crazyswordsman 04:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Got it. Strago's name change was in one of the other citations all along. Pointlessness 22:30, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
The SGI demo would make an interesting note on this page and help consolidate the great work of getting this article featured. Judgesurreal777 15:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
From what I understand on the Cavesofnarshe site, the Epser world isn't really a different dimension, but just a hidden land, sealed by a barrier, on the island that eventually becomes the Floating Continent. How can we change this? Thanos6 05:27, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I had major uneasiness that not only was there NOT a spoiler tag for the Story section, but upon going to add it in, got hit with that comment thing that said that if I was thinking of "spoiler", then everyone else would think the same, which in turn negates such a tag's usefulness. I'm inclined to disagree with this. For one, I never thought it contained spoilers until I saw the whole thing, and someone who is just scrolling through the entire thing for something in particular, or using the anchor links and then scrolls up and sees the end of the section (there are people who have never seen this page before, so don't say there isn't). There is just too many things that defeat that argument, and just because you think "Story" is "spoiler" doesn't mean anyone ELSE will, as I said. As a result, I've added the spoiler tag, and am requesting that it is not removed by anyone. 24.3.214.213 09:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
On June 20, this article will be displayed on the Main Page. Congratulations to all contributing editors and the WikiProject Final Fantasy on your efforts! — Bluerで す。 11:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Two edits for a more experienced editor to check: This one should either be reverted or the image should be bumped above the heading according to the MoS, I'm not sure which would be better. This one adds information to the plot section that may not be necessary. Anomie 01:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
is the game really non linear? i know it has a bunch of branch points where you can choose one quest over the other but in the large scheme of the game it's still pretty linear, your actiopns have no inpact other than ending the game and the story doesn't change no matter what. also none of the citations say anything about the game being non linear. harlock_jds 00:43, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Just made a minor change to the sentance that said FFVI it was comprable to the 2nd industral revolution in the 19th century. The 2nd industral revolution was the computer revoulution. It's not really fitting of Final Fantasy VI, it's more descriptive of the 1st industrial revolution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.125.3 ( talk • contribs) 05:47, 20 June 2007
Um.. no picture for a featured article (on the main page)? Or is my browser just crazy? izalithium 06:36, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
New Wiki policy dictates that no copyrighted content can go on the main page. For articles covering copyrighted works, this completely forbids use of a picture barring some creative loophole (like the Excel Saga article's using a free picture of its creator dressed as a character). Aside from hard to find free pictures of famous developers, video game articles are pretty much left in the dust. Zeality 19:59, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
You know, I think we should use a picture like this to spread awarness of copyright-related issues.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 20:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Oh ok. It's just that I had never seen a MP article without a picture before so it caught me off guard.. I was kind of hoping we could get away with low-res/fair use or something though :P izalithium 05:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
monster names mention Shiva which is incorrect so I del it, even if the game says so that doesnt makes it to be correct. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Satyavrat.chaturvedi ( talk • contribs) 10:58, 20 June 2007
Congrats to all for being a featured article! I had a quick question/comment about adding references to some of the controversial subject matter of the game. FF VI seemed to be at the forefront of introducing serious issues to gameplay, albeit in a subtle way.
I'm referring to Celes' and Terra's respective allusions to suicide and abortion. It's been a while since I played the game, so bear with me if I'm a bit spotty on particulars, but I remember Celes contemplating suicide after Cid dies on the island of solitude (I believe she was going to jump off of a cliff). Also, Terra (in her esper form) made some reference to protecting the lives of all people, even those who had not been born. As I was pretty young when I played these games, the references didn't stick out in my mind that much. But I played the game a few years ago and they jumped right out at me. It seemed pretty heavy stuff for a video game released during that time period. I'm not saying they shouldn't be in the game, but thought it was unique that the developers would include this material.
I'm not sure how much controversy this actually generated, so discussion of it in the article may not be merited, but I thought I'd put it out there to gauge people's thoughts. Ronnotronald 13:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations, everyone! FFVI survived the main page, despite one vandal which I've reverted myself. Once again, congratulations. Any other comments? Greg Jones II 01:40, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
There are more serious and extreme cases of vandalism. I will request page protection ASAP. Greg Jones II 19:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Could someone add this? There was a dispute between Nintendo and Squaresoft at that time because Square was promised 32MBit modules but only delivered 24MBit ones. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.57.11.141 ( talk • contribs)
Straight up, I'll admit I'm not a regular contributor to Wikipedia, but am learning slowly - If anyone feels my work could be tidied up a bit or the wording revised, by all means go ahead! :-)
I've posted this new section into the article because there are several scenes within the English translation FFVI where amusing pop-culture references are made - I'm replaying my way through the game at this time and will be making note of each for addition to this section of the article, but will likely remove the 'Star Wars' sub-heading and switch to a bulleted, while also not adding any more screenshots unless absolutely necessary.
Thoughts, comments, or criticisms are all welcome - Thanks! Arkmtech 08:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
This was only released in the UK! I have the sources and a copy of the game! Why are you deleting the truth? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.142.74.9 ( talk • contribs) 18:16, 25 August 2007
The PS1 version was released alongside Final Fantasy 5, as part of Final Fantasy Anthology, which was, in fact, released in the US as well. I don't know where you get your information, but I happen to own the NTSC (North America) version of FF Anthology. 68.59.157.132 11:33, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
This reasoning of "technical limitations" comes across as point-of-view to me, and unless the reason given is explicitly stated in a good source, I would like to see that part removed.
Considering that Rock N' Roll Racing featured voice clips the year before FFVI was released, I think that the reasoning is not valid (the sound chip hardly "prevented" vocals) and most of it should be dropped/replaced. A more likely cause for not using a vocal track might be the extra storage space required, or the difficulty of incorporating it. There's no guarantee (unless it has been stated in an interview or other official source) that the developers would have recorded vocals for it at the time if they could have. For one thing, having a voice for a major character (Celes in this case) did not happen in the series until Final Fantasy X. Perhaps more importantly, the player has the ability to botch the lyrics, disrupting the music; I don't think they'd necessarily want to have professionally-recorded mistakes for the scene.

The text currently says the following:
The only notable changes to gameplay (in addition to loading times not present in the cartridge versions) involve the correction of a few software bugs from the original, the creation or oversight of other bugs,[78][79] and the addition of a new "memo save" feature, allowing players to quickly save their progress to the PlayStation's RAM.
I played the re-release, and I'm fairly certain that there was also a feature added that let you hold down a button to run, allowing you to go as fast as you would with the sprint shoes in the original game. And once you got the sprint shoes, it doubled your movement speed again, allowing for double the total movement speed of the original game. Can anyone else confirm this?
