Comment: Portraits that appear when talking in the GBA version are not in this version. The game uses Kanji, unlike the FC/WSC version. Flying in the airship resembles the NES/WSC version. The chocobo moves really fast, making him difficult to catch.

Comment: The credits section of the ending is different than all the other releases. Soul of Rebirth was not added. There are no battles on bridges. Hitting the talk button doesn't bring up a window when nothing is in front of you like the NES version.
