Although FF 3 for the SNES was some what the best game ever. Playing it on a hand held doesn't have the same feel in it.
You would still get the same gameplay, the amazing, mind blowing gameplay but with un-needed new character photos and added stages. THE GAME WAS FINE THE WAY IT WAS, OKAY! The controls are still easy, comfortabe, the same other than there not being a Y and X button. At least the DS has those. The good news, the VERY GOOD NEWS is that the soundtrack has stayed the same and his incredible just like all Final Fantasys.
So in conclusion if you buy Final Fantasy 6 you get the same graphics, the same soundtrack, basically the same controls but not entirely the same gameplay because the very un-needed additions. I'm just waiting for that soon to be announced (after the FF4 remake) FF6 remake for the DS.
Gameplay: 9.5 The gameplay still has the awesome story, the awesome fighting and the awesome characters there were before. Just those VERY annoying new charater pictures that HAVE TO appear in dialog also! Also the game is awesome enough, no added levels please.
Graphics: 9.5 Very good visuals and creatively drawn enemys are quite awesome. But isn't the GBA capable of a little, just a little better graphics in the game.
Sound/Music: 10 The music in this game is mind-blowing! So many good tunes and so many good moods for music. Also you won't get any of that choppy soud effects when you attack.
Controls: 9.0 It's not that it really matters but not having a Y and X button is one of those things that take away the true feel of the game. But they are still simple and great.
Overall: 9.5 Get it, NOW!
