I bought 'Final Fantasy VI Advance' USA to play on my 'Retron Sq' system, a CIB copy included photo!

Over the last while I was wanting to buy Final Fantasy VI Advance USA. The loose carts are high price and not always that nice, you even have to watch for fakes. So I went with buying complete because a fake would be less likely and I worry. The game itself is quite scarce these days I noticed. It was awhile until I found the copy for me. Searched online and had luck!

Believe it or not, but fake CIB copies of this game also exist.  I remember buying a fake copy off of Amazon back in 2011.

I sold a CIB copy last October.  Glad you got one.

I seen a boxed fake copy at a Flee Market, as well I've seen one. It had solder on the circuit and looked cheaply made!

I'm yet to see a fake which went to the trouble of including all the inserts. Best effort fakes I've seen are still only box, cart, manual (the manual is usually an obvious fake if you can see enough of it). This has all the right packins for the period of its release, so it's almost certainly legit. Congrats, OP Nice pick!

I remember seeing Sonic Advance 2 bootlegs CIB years ago, the carts would default to Spanish language in-game and then crash after 5 minutes of play.

Nice one, I really wish I had kept the games but I only have FF1+2 loose or w/manual I forget, and a CIB FF4.  I saw 5 pop up at a shop up the street, they wanted $75 for the game so I ignored it.  It's crazy those re-issues are going to high.

Not playing on Nintendo system I customized game window shows better without cut offs its Bahamut Lagoon's solid blue!

I'm already playing a excellent buy!

I'm playing on the Retron Sq because I don't own a Game Cube and Game Boy Player any longer!

I have, for SFC. I'm pretty sure I have for GBA too, but I sold it out long ago.

wow, that's both impressive and dastardly...

Now I’m worried about my CIB FF6 being fake. I bought it in… I want to say 2008/2009ish?

Fakes fakes everywhere, better check your underwear.
