Sorry for asking basic questions, but how could I play it in todays hardware?
Is there an emulator for Linux that could play it?

From the link: >Kefka's line when the party flees from him on chocobos was changed. In the Japanese version he says "ヒーーーー くっそ！ このかりは必ず返しますよ！", literally translated to "Arggg.... you scums! I will definitely pay you back for this!". In the overseas release, depending on the version, he either says "Son of a submariner! They'll pay for this..." (SNES/PSX version) or "Son of a sandworm! You'll pay for this..." (GBA/PC/…
I'm not sure that example is censorship so much as "You spoony bard" tier creative license with the translation. It added color to the game. One of my favorites from the same game... When Figaro Castle is set on fire, one of the imperial guards says "Fire! Fire! Heh heh heh..." implying that he is Beavis.
Changes the feel way too much, ruins the point of it being a Japanese game if it’s all just being filtered through the humor of one American who didn’t have the talent to create something that grand anyway.
Intent of the original writers should take priority over the translator wanting to put their attempts at jokes in.

#93Surprised to see FFVI mentioned here in HN. That said, I HIGHLY recommend playing thru the recently released FFVI-T edition that's recently become available thanks to an incredible translation effort by Tomato. It corrects a number of mistranslations and adds a TON of content and scales up the difficulty. I thoroughly enjoyed the replay. The original release: http://tomato.fobby.net/ff6-t-edition/ Which now directs i…
would you recommend this for someone new to the game? In addition to this, OP's version there also appear to be new remastered versions of the older games.
probably not. if your into old school console rpgs ya(even remastered version). probably if your into anime as well to an extent.

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time following what thing I said you're objecting to.
Faust and the Iliad are works in the public domain with many dozens of translations, most of them trying hard to be "faithful" or "accurate" in one sense or another. When they're retold, adapted, reinterpreted, they're not usually billed as the original work, but rather a retelling or what have you. Joyce didn't stick Homer's name on Ulysses and bill it as an English version of the Odyssey (just set in Dublin to bett…
I didn't bring up Faust or the Iliad, works that don't actually have anything resembling an 'original'. Still not sure what, specifically, this is a response to.

#95Final Fantasy VI is my all time favourite Final Fantasy game. There's something so ... spiritual about it that modern games have really struggled to capture. I wonder if that partly is because voice acting in some ways often takes away from the experience- less often is more. Along with the wonderful story and script, it allows you to fill in a lot of gaps. If it were remade I just don't think the new one would have…
To your point I've always felt the low fidelity/pixel-art of JRPGs in the 16-bit days allowed your imagination to fill the gaps to create a special impression. It allowed your mind's eye to create something special - between the graphics and accompanying artwork - that was lost as the series advanced visually. While FF7 was a special entry in the series, the shift to a more traditional anime style was completely inco…
Funny cross-section: this image gets shared on r/crtgaming often enough:

The answer has been becoming clear to more users in the past few years: shaders. With a bright, high resolution OLED that has black frame insertion plus a good shader you can do a pretty decent approximation of the look and feel of a CRT. The de facto standard is CRT Royale but others have done good work in recent years.

#96This game is fantastic, I was fortunate to go to the 25th Anniversary concert in Chicago. It's reportedly Nobuo Uematsu's favorite game as well. Also, FFVI is the only game (to my knowledge) officially released on 8 different platforms across four console generations: SNES, Playstation, Wii Virtual Console, GameBoy Advance, iOS, Android, Steam, and SNES Classic Edition. The story is so good, I've thought they should…
I went down a rabbit hole trying to determine the most officially re-released game. While FFVI does have quite a few, I think the consensus was it's either Doom, Street Fighter II, or Sonic the Hedgehog.

If you're on Linux you will need three things - a copy of the FFVI ROM file (it's left up to the reader to find a copy); a patching program that supports IPS patches, which almost all general web or desktop patchers will; and a SNES emulator. There are several for Linux, but I personally recommend bsnes. It is a very accurate emulator with some nice features, such as displaying Mode7 graphics in higher fidelity (which this game utilizes).

#98I still listen to the VI OST to this day. What they were able to do with the SNES soundchip was quite the technical accomplishment.
You might enjoy Mathew Valente's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/tssf One of his recent projects is finding the original instrument samples that Nobuo Uematsu used before they were compressed into the game and using those to make high-def "restored" versions of the songs. It sounds easy but there's quite a lot of work behind it and the result is fantastic.
There's a whole spreadsheet showing the origins of samples for various games:

Hadn't heard of this, but given how well done his translation of Mother 3 was it's got to be great
Wait a second, Mother 3 is available in English?
