FF6 Advance has been released (Ableit, not in English yet) and as you can imagine, it has been torn apart already, spoiling any potential secrets it may contain. Here's some spoilers for you all.
New characters: Spoilers (Select To Read): Leo and Emperor Gesthal join your party, Gestahl as a ghost, and Leo after a new side-quest involving the Phoenix magicite.
New Summons: Spoilers (Select To Read): Gilgamesh from FFV and others is gotten from a battle with him in the Colloseum, Leviathan is gotten from a battle on a boat somewhere, Diablos is gotten from completeing the new bonus dungeon and a Cactuar is avilable form somewhere too.
Enemies: Spoilers (Select To Read): The Czar Dragon has been added (With a different sprite from the one found in FF6 SNES) and Omega Weapon, who is a recoloured Atma Weapon. There are also lots of new random encoutner enemies, although all of them are just pallete swaps.

Enjoy. Discuss. And remember your spoiler tags!
I'm unsure whether to be furious about the first or no, since it makes meaningful plot less so.
Your wish may come true Xag, as arguments have been flying back and forth on the validity of the first one, so remember people, take that first one with a grain of salt.
The game's had some work done under the hood. The Vanish+Doom/X-zone/Snare trick has been fixed, meaning you're going to have to take out Deathgaze and Intangir normally (D'oh!).
While graphics have remained pretty much the same, there appears to be noticeable slowdown during battles. And then there's the music and sound effects, which seem to have been downgraded somewhat from the SNES version. Some would say it's been retooled in order to better take advantage of the GBA's capabilities, but there's no denying that the game sounds off (a bad thing, f.y.i.).
Apparently, Kefkas laugh is 100% spot-on though, so I guess I can be happy with that.
EDIT: RARGH! Taste my rage at using my 2k post here!
Those two characters join your party? Yeah, I agree, it does kinda screw with the story, but I'll judge once I get my hands on one of my favorite FF games.
Man, what the @#%$ @ first spoiler
Stop raping my childhood for once, could you? Please?
Like I said though, there's some major arguments going on about the validity of the first one, so take it with a grain of salt. It may or may not be true.
Here's hoping not true carries the day.
The new character info is supposedly from a hoax.
One can only hope.
As the old, time-honored adage goes: pics or it didn't happen =)
