"As for the English version, word has it that Square Enix is mostly sticking with the game's original localization -- a sensible enough decision, since FFVI is unique among older Final Fantasies in having been graced with an English script that was neither disastrous (FFIV) nor insulting (FFV). But it won't be a simple rehash; memory limitations reportedly forced the SNES team to cut roughly half of the game's Japanese script, and everything previously lost will be restored on GBA. Although the decision not to completely overhaul the dialogue will inevitably rankle some of the game's more frothing fanatics, the resulting balance between fidelity and nostalgia should offer the full depth of the story with the charming personality of the fan-favorite translation."
This certainly lessens the pain of sub-par audio quality.

I really, really cannot wait for this. FFVI is such a good game and I never got around to beating it, largely because the Anthology version had some flaws, I think.
I still need to get FFV and FFIII though D:
Load times before each battle was difficult to endure.
There was that, and there was also the fact that there were some emulation glitches when you played it on a PS2.
The greatest Final Fantasy. I will be buying this opening day.
