For Immediate Release
Squaresoft today announced it will release the next eagerly anticipated game in the Final Fantasy RPG series, Final Fantasy VI, on Nintendo's Super Nintendo Entertainment System this winter. Set in a world where fantasy and technology have begun to merge, a group of rebels known as the Returners attempts to stop the Empire's evil oppression. Final Fantasy VI offers eleven unique playable characters including treasure hunter Locke and the mysterious girl Terra as well as a variety of summonable monsters known as Espers that players can use in battle.
Those who pre-order at Gamestop will receive the Phoenix Cave Treasure Hunter Pack. In this pack, players get to explore Locke's past as the party travels through a massive cavern that seems to hold many mysteries. This pack will also include the exclusive Esper, Phoenix.
At Amazon, players who pre-order will receive the Cultists' Tower Fanatical Pack. Here, players climb a massive tower filled with challenging enemies and powerful items. With no save points in this Tower, only the most hardcore of players will be able to complete this climb.
Also, all launch copies will come with a code to unlock Mog's Dance Party, a day one DLC package where players will be able to use the loveable moogle Mog in their party. Order your copy today so that you don't miss out, as these codes will be limited. Mog's Dance Party DLC will be available for $9.99 after launch.
