One of the 3 extra Kefka slots was used for his scripted battle against palette swapped "Ifrit". The Kefka used is equipped with a Paladin Shield (yes, the same overpowered Paladin Shield). Maybe he cursed the shield afterwards or something.
Soldier and merchant have tent sprites because Locke 'wearing' them can use a tent. Imp needs all the sprites because your character as an imp can do all these things. Banon needs a tent sprite because you come across save points while he's in the party. Same for the ghost
I would love a remake so much that I might cry if a trailer for one dropped. I don't think any of the three main versions of FF6 can really be considered the definitive version, the game has never had its potentially fully realized.
@@DrakeyC while i do agree that the full potential of FFVI has never been fully realized on any of its releases, the only 'remake' of this game i would accept would be one using the Octopath Traveler engine. this is the only proper way to maintain the spirit of the original while also upgrading gameplay and graphical capabilities. having grown up with the original SNES release, i think theres something so incredibly enduring about the original pixelated, sprite-based gameplay that simply cant be replaced by anything more modern.
@@squarefan80 I could see that, but I don't necessarily think a 3D remake would need to be at the sacrifice of the charm of the original sprites. Dissidia Opera Omnia has very cutesy and colorful 3D characters, I could see FF6 working with that kind of style, upgrades to allow better facial expressions and movements.
1) it's not the steam version. it's the ds version that eventually got ported to steam years later. 2) there was a way to get GAU and bring him over via ship. It involved going through the trench again.
25:36: that door leads outside where you can then enter a small room with a chest, that chest is a WoR version of it just like the chests in South Figago Town and Cave.
Actually, the items are the same in the dreamscape, the WoB, and the WoR. Which makes it a bit freaky that you can open them in the dreamscape and then they're gone in the real world
This was awesome! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on FF6 but I definitely learned a lot during this. Did you know about the 12 dummied guest characters? In the Japanese version they have jobs, and those jobs are all named after the deities of Glorantha, an old tabletop RPG like Dungeons and Dragons!
#19 (about Celes being beaten removed from GBA version... which is garbage compared to SNES version anyway...) It’s interesting that they would remove that, since the ESRB was founded on September of 1994, a month prior to FFVI coming out here in the West.
i had a glitch happen to me. i was playing on a file saved in the 3rd spot. i dont remember the details, but it involved relm and her sketch ability. the battle would glitch and everything would be unidentifiable, and all you can do is run away. after that all returns to normal.........except you had like 99 of almost EVERY ITEM! its only happened to me once, but man it was epic!
This happened to my younger brothers save file on the original snes cartridge and my first time seeing the end of the game as a kid was on his glitched out overpowered run. I'm surprised the video doesn't mention it. It's the most infamous bug in the original release.
I've been playing this game since it game out and thought I knew everything, but even I found a couple little things in this video that were new to me. Great job!
The Final Fantasy 6 T-Edition rom hack adds the Strago and Shadow dialogue back in the game and use the dummy dialogues the dragons have (The hack is also using the Dragon fights versions of the Dawn of Souls extra content seen in the GBA or the first Steam rerekease of FFVI)
It's been nearly 30 years since it came out as Final Fantasy III on the SNES. This one was ALWAYS my favorite, which was why I just recently repurchased and downloaded it onto my Android phone. The pixel remastering is excellent. The controls take some getting used to, which is always the case when you play these games again on your mobile. But it was WELL worth it.
This was such an awesome watch. My favorite final fantasy and I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. Solid content! Earned my sub 🔥 thanks for the nostalgia and all the awesome info!
Such a beautiful beautiful game that has never received its due thanks to the popularity of (the inferior) FF7. This game deserves a proper new gen remake.
Things like little diorama towns might not translate well in 3d. But these small towns in old games were just right. Not so much you got bored, but big enough to want to explore. I would love a full remake, but it would take a lot of changes...would we be happy after that?
#2 - I wonder if that was a developer cheat, that item was there to speed up testing of the early levels then got removed in the final version #3 - definitely a conversion glitch. The screen text is correct and no one bothered to check the actual gil total after collecting the chest. Given that it's late in the game when 2000 gil isn't a big deal, it would have been an easy thing to miss. #66 Czar and Kaiser are the Russian and German words for Ceasar respectively, so the Emperor of the dragons
Nice video! I'm a bit confused about #5 though. I'm aware of the soldiers' response in later versions, but for the SNES I don't see a line break/end of message error there in Edgar's dialog caption, or the soldier's appropriate response anywhere within the dialog for that matter. Am I missing something?
I was going to see if there was something I didn't know about this game. First fact comes and it starts bad already stating the empire solder sprite is unused for Chocobo when it is not. The green palette version of it is riding a Chocobo in Sabin scenario in front of Gau's father house. But the video has some great stuff I didn't know though, like number 12! wow
Yep, and both derive from Caesar (of Rome). It's possible the localizer(s) wanted to localize it as Kaiser in the first place, but the SNES version didn't allow enough space, hence Czar, which is equivalent and shorter!
If I recall correctly, the opera goes as normal because Celes uses a different sprite sheet during it, but before the opera Kutan will be stripped of all equipment, as Celes is meant to be done, and since you can't change Kutan's equipment manually, she becomes even weaker.
#19 It was a stupid change. I mean who does square think they are selling this game to? Children? Yeah right. Children don't want a game this old. The people who buy this game are those looking for nostalgia. The game they played as a kid. The people who want this game are old enough to get past the rating.
I agree. I always look forward to the Celes beating. She's such a bad girl But honestly, they show people dying, the end of the world, but being punched during an interrogation? Off limits

I always thought Edgar blushed too, like a sympathetic blush...

Banon needs a tent sprite because you come across save points while he's in the party. Same for the ghost
The soldier has Chocobo sprites because when characters ride magitek armor, they use the Chocobo sprites
I hope it gets a remake. A proper one that stays close to what it was.

To do FF6 true justice the remake would need to look very realistic
@@pseudopulk3478 nah, I would rather someone remake with artwork more in tune with yoshitaka Amano.
Being a die hard fan and guru of ffvi for almost 30 years, I only knew 3 of the 66 facts.
Bravo good sir! Awesome vid!
Thank you :)
@@DrakeyC no, thank YOU!
You sir are not a guru then. However. I am a guru and yes you can get those sprint shoes. Just not until the second visit
@@DrakeyCyou also got a few more things wrong.
1) it's not the steam version. it's the ds version that eventually got ported to steam years later.
2) there was a way to get GAU and bring him over via ship. It involved going through the trench again.

1:44 That might also explain the Empire's random air force that should have given them the means to win the war easily long before.
5:33 This is more noticeable in the Pixel Remaster.
8:06 I thought this was intentional.
This video deserves more views and likes, thank you very much from another Final Fantasy VI fan .
Thank you, you're very welcome. :)
Damn dude! I had NO IDEA that there was this much stuff that I didn't know about this game! Great job uncovering it all 👍
Thanks, happy you enjoyed it! :D
Amazing video, didn't know quite a few of these!
This was awesome! I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on FF6 but I definitely learned a lot during this. Did you know about the 12 dummied guest characters?

Nice work here, thanks for posting. I know it's been up for a few years, but I'm glad I stumbled across it.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)

great work!
Great video, man! I appreciate all the effort. FF3 (will always be 3 to me) is one of my all-time favorite games.
i had a glitch happen to me. i was playing on a file saved in the 3rd spot. i dont remember the details, but it involved relm and her sketch ability. the battle would glitch and everything would be unidentifiable, and all you can do is run away. after that all returns to normal.........except you had like 99 of almost EVERY ITEM! its only happened to me once, but man it was epic!

Vanish Sketch glitch.
Our copy wasn't a one time glitch, we could literally make something invisible to trigger this on purpose anytime.
I really enjoyed this video a lot! Thanks for putting it together.
You're quite welcome :)
Thanks, fam, I really enjoyed this video, thanks for putting in all the time to make it! Happy 30th coming up October 2024!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it :) I'm eagerly looking forward to the 30th, got a big FF6 mod coming out this year for it.
@@DrakeyC Great! I got a big something coming for it, too. Can't wait for that Friday the 11th!
Fun Fact: In the Japanese version, You can rename Cyan's Bushido techniques.
Is that a cultural thing or a glitch?
cool! u can now do this in the pixel remastered version.
Thank you! This video brought back many great memories from my snes days as a kid. This game blew my 12 year old mind. 😊
Happy to provide :)
This was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for putting this together!
My pleasure, thanks for watching :)
This video is so well made, bravo. 66 obscure facts and I only knew one!
Man this stuff is so cool. Great work
Little tricky to hear with the lisp but fantastic content!
Yeah, and my microphone quality was shit back then. Two good reasons I provide subtitles. Glad you enjoyed it anyway, though :)

Loved this video! Thanks!!!
This was some good trivia - always happy to see people talking about this fantastic game!
This is still one of my favorite games of all time, the Pixel Remaster only reinforced that.
FFVI is sure the greatest of all time..
I remember back in the day when I tried out #15 to see what would happen
Such a beautiful beautiful game that has never received its due thanks to the popularity of (the inferior) FF7. This game deserves a proper new gen remake.
Agreed, a 3D remake would be glorious.
Things like little diorama towns might not translate well in 3d. But these small towns in old games were just right. Not so much you got bored, but big enough to want to explore. I would love a full remake, but it would take a lot of changes...would we be happy after that?
Number 12 is the reason why I got the platinum not in the first but in the second run
nice job, my man.
#2 - I wonder if that was a developer cheat, that item was there to speed up testing of the early levels then got removed in the final version
#3 - definitely a conversion glitch. The screen text is correct and no one bothered to check the actual gil total after collecting the chest. Given that it's late in the game when 2000 gil isn't a big deal, it would have been an easy thing to miss.
#66 Czar and Kaiser are the Russian and German words for Ceasar respectively, so the Emperor of the dragons
I love ff6, first rpg. I probably wouldn't like rpgs if not for this game. I like replaying this game
4:04 Here's how to fix that mistake:
Go to D3A12 in a Hex Editor and Change the 00 to a 13.
That's a good example of game design, attention to detail.
What is?
Awesome video!
Thanks :)

The error is in the hex, it doesn't show up in FF3usME. But if you correct the code in hex, it'll display in there properly.
@@DrakeyC Ahh interesting! I see it here now, they dun goofed lol.
Can Moogle sing opera as noodle if you skip Celes in Subarus?
I was going to see if there was something I didn't know about this game. First fact comes and it starts bad already stating the empire solder sprite is unused for Chocobo when it is not. The green palette version of it is riding a Chocobo in Sabin scenario in front of Gau's father house. But the video has some great stuff I didn't know though, like number 12! wow
Good point, I'd forgotten that merchant! Though it does make me ponder why that merchant didn't use the actual merchant sprite, animations aside...
True haha
Czar (Russian) = Kaiser (German) = Emperor
Correct. And actually, in something I forgot to mention, CzarDragon and Kaiser Dragon had the same name in Japanese all along.
Yep, and both derive from Caesar (of Rome). It's possible the localizer(s) wanted to localize it as Kaiser in the first place, but the SNES version didn't allow enough space, hence Czar, which is equivalent and shorter!
FWIW, Czar and Kaiser are just both translations of Caesar.
Kaiser is German and means emperor.
If you do #17 and later come back to try and see Celes getting beaten, you will lock the game
Gotta see Celes get beaten....so not worth the skip
How would we cut Deathgaze's claw?
I fucking love Final Fantasy VI
Same. Just beat it for the first time. I started with 5 a year ago, and just now beat 6. That’s two under my belt.. currently playing 7 AND 10, lol
i really hope all these 2d platform games get an octopath traveller style remaasters 😭😭😭
I had this game on snes as a kid and I loved it. This video helped tie up a lot of loose end I had always wondered about. Thank you
What app? Give me the link of this
Link of what?
@@DrakeyC download all ff 6. And you did good job to make it simple.
@@candraliao9837 Well you're in luck, the entire Pixel Remaster collection went on sale on Steam
@@DrakeyC thank you. I love final fantasy
I realize my young self didn't appreciate it as much then as well.
I knew so few of these and I played the crap out of this game.
wait a second... #17........... i'm so doing that.... opera scene .......
If I recall correctly, the opera goes as normal because Celes uses a different sprite sheet during it, but before the opera Kutan will be stripped of all equipment, as Celes is meant to be done, and since you can't change Kutan's equipment manually, she becomes even weaker.

wrong! Baram is Kefka.
