Honestly, I think Shadow was the most well-developed character out of the entire Series. His ending was incredibly heart-wrenching. You don't see characters with that kind of backstory, like him, these days......
There is a loneliness to Shadow's theme. But it's an acid edged loneliness. He is dangerous and mysterious but sad and regretful. Song is perfect for him.
Awesome! I loved this remixed version. The middle of the track has an ominous air about it. It almost gave me the chills. I even like the character artwork you chose for the display. Thanks for posting this
Locke and Shadow. Locke and Clyde. The names just fit together really easily. And has anyone come up with an explanation for Locke's reasons to go with Celes to infiltrate Vector, the Imperial Capital. "Someone important to me was jailed by the Empire. I've hated the Empire ever since... I joined the Returners when I realized the Empire was rotten to the core. I wanted to make a difference." SOMEONE IMPORTANT=JAILED, not killed, not injured, JAILED. My theory is; Shadow is Locke's brother
Shadow always reminded me more of a cowboy/wild west kind of guy than a ninja. Not that ninjas aren't cool, but even his theme has a western feel to it!
To sum up: Shadow is not some independent "ninja." Indeed, Shadow is fighting for the very future of his family. There is nothing "assassin" about him.
@JbCrosell I can't think of a game that makes use of the SNES' 16-bit graphics better than FF6. Look at the intricate detail in the environments! Beautiful for what they were working with.
Megamantheory is probably right that the train robbing aspect of his backstory was the reason for the western-style theme. They probably named him Clyde after Bonnie and Clyde. But the game does refer to him as a ninja and he definitely looks like one, so I still think they should have made it more ninja/zen like.
The entire game was basically the COMMON AND INDEPENDENT PEOPLE vs the EMPIRE, which was composed of Nobles, Aristocrats, Warmongers, and Scientists that wanted to subjugate everyone. Cid was probably the only scientist and Celes the only General of which defected to the returners. Everyone else was still Imperial...which wanted to subjugate everyone.
The didn't just confirm it. The fact that Relm is Shadow's daughter is present in the original version of the game, but was simply lost in the original SNES translation.
its left out for reasons the scenes he has are your only clue if clyde hadn't died then she might know but she has no clue he only cared for interceptor interceptor becomes his replacement
Shadow was the name of the character in Final Fantasy 6 when left to default. I think since the game is Japanese in origin it bypasses complaints that can be filled by the PCB.
youe right i fought in that forest to . was a good place to build up you guys ex level after countless battles it gave you something and i to used it on cyan......man his attack was bad ass. cant think of the name of the item.....what a good game
It's in the storyline. Shadow's wife died during an attack of the Empire. Relm is his daugher. Strago is his father-in-law. You do the math. There is much more to Shadow than just his inner emotions -- he's got some like, domestic child disputes at work, perhaps. --this guy (Shadow) is more complicated than we realized.
Overclocked Remix, I think it's already been mentioned in previous posts. If You don't know O/C remix, Look up such ledgendary tracks as "Chocobo Robo Voice". Also, You'd probably appreciate a band called, "The Black Mages". I know a lot of people who do, who don't even specially like (/Know of,) the Final Fantasy game series.
Yes he does. He throws shurikens, he's secretive, and he uses swords. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any western outlaw ever robbed a train with a Katana blade and a pouch of ninja stars.
Yep I'm doing that now. 8 for whatever reasons is weaker than 4. And Dispatch 1 would be his strongest it seems unless you use 'retort' his #2 and wait.
Tyranosaurs give you like Imps Armor and the Brachosaurs can give you economizer relics. The other cool place to level up is the desert south of the Southern most town where the Hoover and Cactrots are. Cactrot gave 10,000 gil and 10 MP points.
@hondo42 I've heard. All I can do right now is listen to another Final Fantasy's great soundtrack and read the youtube comments about the areas and characters...I want to play it sooooo BAD
Developers need to understand One thing when they do remakes: Don't change the game, simply remake the game according to graphical standards, perhaps switch some chests around, add a few, make a couple new items. Too much change is bad when you are remaking a game.
Furthermore! Think about Locke's reasons for not telling who it was that was jailed by the empire? Maybe he knew Clyde was a thief, and didn't want people to think of him as a thief? Shadow may have been the reason Locke prefers treasure hunter. Because it sounds more heroic than criminal. Therefore, he must have been ashamed of this "important person" but still loved him. Maybe Shadow was like Robin hood, but got caught. 1 million GP's stolen back from the Empire. :) People fear the empire
This remix sounds more fit for a Vietnam war film. Captured the gritty feel & cruelty of war. Similar to Black Sabbath. I give this 5/5 rate. Keep up the musical work 👍🏼👍🏼
Well, in my opinion dressing like a ninja does make you a ninja. Besides, the game calls him a ninja. Copy and paste this in the TH-cam search: Final Fantasy III (6) Story - Part 7 and look at 0:25. It says ninja right there.

Terra.
In this world are many like me who've killed their emotions. Don't forget that.
-Shadow
My favorite quote of my favorite game.
Final Fantasy VI had the best ensemble cast of characters ever seen in gaming history, with Shadow being among the best!
Shadow was my favorite character.
They left a lot unsaid.
There were so many gaps in FF6, and it still turned out to be a great game.
Imagine if they filled in the blanks. :)
all i gotta say is: sleep around at every inn you possibly can with shadow in your group. you'll see their story unravel.
Awesome! I loved this remixed version. The middle of the track has an ominous air about it. It almost gave me the chills. I even like the character artwork you chose for the display. Thanks for posting this
You shadow.... had to regret that word, the day you recognice what a friend is....
*pats Edge* I'm sorry, dude, he has his own theme.
... Also, you're an high-visible ninja.
GOD I love this remix!
OMG OMG! I had this version a long time ago and lost it. I didn't think I'd ever find it again! I love the grunge style of the electric guitar
Locke and Shadow.
Locke and Clyde.
The names just fit together really easily.
And has anyone come up with an explanation for Locke's reasons to go with Celes to infiltrate Vector, the Imperial Capital.
"Someone important to me was jailed by the Empire. I've hated the Empire ever since... I joined the Returners when I realized the
Empire was rotten to the core. I wanted to make a difference."
SOMEONE IMPORTANT=JAILED, not killed, not injured, JAILED.
My theory is; Shadow is Locke's brother
Shadow Rocks, he's the best ninja of the best ninjas,the grandmaster of grandmasters, the king of all ninjas, all hail shadow, bow down to the king
this remix man, THE FEELS :'(
Correction
He is a Travel Worn Adventurer searching the world over, for relics of the past.
The greatest of all time
Plus the memory sequences you see of Shadow's past pretty much tells you
very nice jazzy feel
finally.... a remix that doesnt make him sound like a cowboy
Well, All monsters in the land you first got him in. Once you left that island place, that was it.
@JbCrosell I completely agree. A remake would be amazing.
Shadow always reminded me more of a cowboy/wild west kind of guy than a ninja. Not that ninjas aren't cool, but even his theme has a western feel to it!
The reaper may be one step behind Shadow, but Shadow is one step behind chuck Norris!
this is an awesome remix, sounds quite different. added to my favourites
To sum up:
Shadow is not some independent "ninja."
Indeed, Shadow is fighting for the very future of his family.
There is nothing "assassin" about him.
nice...it is a good remix of a classic song
@JbCrosell I can't think of a game that makes use of the SNES' 16-bit graphics better than FF6. Look at the intricate detail in the environments! Beautiful for what they were working with.
Holy shit ! this is perfect.
I love the original Shadow's theme, this remix is sweet too.
I'd never be able to rest in peace if I died without collecting my pay...
What are you talking about? The picture is a drawing of shadow. His name is carved on the left.
Wonderful.
@CHCHuser i think the guy who voiced Kain in the FF4 remake
Megamantheory is probably right that the train robbing aspect of his backstory was the reason for the western-style theme. They probably named him Clyde after Bonnie and Clyde. But the game does refer to him as a ninja and he definitely looks like one, so I still think they should have made it more ninja/zen like.
@JbCrosell they did remake the final fantasy 6 in 2007 on the GBA
very nice song i love it
Hell yeah.
This music if FREAKING WIN!!!
Not only that, but that is possibly the most awesome picture of Shadow in the history of art.
10/5
For a ninja shadow has an awesome western theme.
Genji glove + offering + impartisans + Gau + Stray Cat rage = win combo.
god this sounds so nice ot my ears =)
If there was some RPG character that looked like a Green Beret, I would expect him to have a military-style theme.
The entire game was basically the COMMON AND INDEPENDENT PEOPLE vs the EMPIRE, which was composed of Nobles, Aristocrats, Warmongers, and Scientists that wanted to subjugate everyone.
Cid was probably the only scientist and Celes the only General of which defected to the returners. Everyone else was still Imperial...which wanted to subjugate everyone.
You know, My favorite character was Gau, his ability to copy ALL monsters in the game was very cool to me
I would agree with you there.
The real reason Shadow never takes his mask off is because.... Relm glued it to his face when she was little! :D
The didn't just confirm it. The fact that Relm is Shadow's daughter is present in the original version of the game, but was simply lost in the original SNES translation.
its left out for reasons the scenes he has are your only clue if clyde hadn't died then she might know but she has no clue he only cared for interceptor interceptor becomes his replacement
Except the most important quality which you forgot, his class. Locke is a thief. Shadow is a ninja.
Epic.
Pretty good. I'm impressed. Any idea who did this version?
Shadow was the name of the character in Final Fantasy 6 when left to default. I think since the game is Japanese in origin it bypasses complaints that can be filled by the PCB.
You're right, I was just being fecicious.
Who do you think should voice Shadow? Kevin Conroy who did Batman? Or Steve Blum who did Spike Spiegel?
yes, he is a ninja.
@Bastik42 To be honest, I would say its more of a mix of a ninja/cowboy theme
nice...it sure is
I have not done the research on ninjas myself, but I know that the Ronin were former Samurai.
ninja's were assasins for hire, therefore ninjas were mercs. therefore shadow is both. >_>
badass
K. Praslowicz, from OC Remix did this song.
youe right i fought in that forest to . was a good place to build up you guys ex level after countless battles it gave you something and i to used it on cyan......man his attack was bad ass. cant think of the name of the item.....what a good game
@Neobahamut0zero Yeah man, greatest game ever made.
This makes it sound like a Western movie
It's in the storyline. Shadow's wife died during an attack of the Empire.
Relm is his daugher.
Strago is his father-in-law.
You do the math.
There is much more to Shadow than just his inner emotions -- he's got some like, domestic child disputes at work, perhaps.
--this guy (Shadow) is more complicated than we realized.
technically he WAS called shadow. that was the group name he and Baram used.
It's an OC remix but thanks for the upload.
Dang!!! Somebody please tell where I can get this song??!!
you. "He was not even known as Shadow."
@JbCrosell I agree with the remake part though :D
Overclocked Remix, I think it's already been mentioned in previous posts.
If You don't know O/C remix, Look up such ledgendary tracks as "Chocobo Robo Voice".

@JbCrosell
It was all timing. FF3/6 will never be able to capture new audiences in the sprite graphics mode. But I agree. on the re-make.
Yep I'm doing that now. 8 for whatever reasons is weaker than 4. And Dispatch 1 would be his strongest it seems unless you use 'retort' his #2 and wait.
Tyranosaurs give you like Imps Armor and the Brachosaurs can give you economizer relics. The other cool place to level up is the desert south of the Southern most town where the Hoover and Cactrots are. Cactrot gave 10,000 gil and 10 MP points.
That is nice. but it is me human72 from DA.
@johnnytable2 what do you mean twice?
I stand corrected!
I meant the Original American Release of FF3.
actually game developers confirmed that relm is indeed shadows daughter
only 10/5? i'd give it 9999/5
I personally think Steve Blum is a bit overused in games and anime these days..but this game definitely needs a remake
Where can I find the sheet music/ tablature for this if any exists?
@hondo42 I've heard. All I can do right now is listen to another Final Fantasy's great soundtrack and read the youtube comments about the areas and characters...I want to play it sooooo BAD
I do believe this was an OC Remix. I got it a long time ago.
Developers need to understand One thing when they do remakes: Don't change the game, simply remake the game according to graphical standards, perhaps switch some chests around, add a few, make a couple new items. Too much change is bad when you are remaking a game.
@CaptainObvious0000 amzing even, I still think they're amazing.
Can you give me the source-link so I can keep this forever?
Furthermore!
Think about Locke's reasons for not telling who it was that was jailed by the empire?
Maybe he knew Clyde was a thief, and didn't want people to think of him as a thief?
Shadow may have been the reason Locke prefers treasure hunter. Because it sounds more heroic than criminal.

"Oh My god... Metal Gear...".
I'm not even a big Shadow fan and this is sex for the ears. I wonder what it's like for fans of his character? xD
Fitting
lol...good one.
@JbCrosell
for past standards, the graphics were good.
I just used google's image search engine. Got it somewhere on there.
@Neobahamut0zero You need to play it. Like right now.
is this a overclocked remix?
what about snake?
This remix sounds more fit for a Vietnam war film. Captured the gritty feel & cruelty of war. Similar to Black Sabbath. I give this 5/5 rate. Keep up the musical work 👍🏼👍🏼
He never used Katana's.
Only Dirks.
the Kodachi is basically a Dirk. And that was the only Japanese blade he ever used.
@JbCrosell If by "poor graphics" you mean "badass for it's time" then I'll forgive you...
you do know that the GBA version is the original Version from japan right?
Well, in my opinion dressing like a ninja does make you a ninja. Besides, the game calls him a ninja. Copy and paste this in the TH-cam search:
Final Fantasy III (6) Story - Part 7
and look at 0:25. It says ninja right there.
