- Welcome to my guide for Final Fantasy VI! I enjoy making these more informative kinds of videos so I hope it is helpful for you. If you have any thoughts or feedback, feel free to let me know as I would like to do this style of video again. Thanks for watching!
Also, here is the link for Twitch!

I'd keep all of the characters back row because it only affects basic melee attack damage, not the characters special abilities like Edgar's tools, or Sabin's blitzes. For the most part, your characters will be using special abilities or magic, rarely basic attacks, and the damage reduction from being back row is significant. It makes sense to keep all characters back row permanently for the entire game. Lastly, there are quite a few weapons that negate the back row damage reduction of your melee attack, so if you want to focus on melee attacks, equip one of these weapons.
thanks man
Actually..there are only about 6 weapons that are long range, and they all belong to Locke and Setzer. Rods dont count because rod users shouldnt be attacking. Also..the Atma weapon IS affected by the backrow even though it does bypass defence..damage will be cut. Always keep your atma weapon user in front row and always keep locke in front row as the valient knife is ALSO affected by the back row
Ah, Final Fantasy VI, the best RPG of the First Golden Age of RPG's on the Super NES, along with Chrono Trigger.
Top 5 games all time, in no particular order:
Chrono Trigger
FF6
total war warhammer 2
Skyrim
DQ8
Honorable mention to 007 Goldeneye
The SNES just had a ton of good RPGs. Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Final Famtasy IV, V, and VI, pretty sure a ton of Dragon Quests
Secret of Mana is also very good :)
Was the second golden age during the PS1 era?

Most gamers consider The PS1 & PS2 as one combined era, since the PS2 came out pretty quickly after the PS1 finally started getting good RPG's.
> A Mythril Claw is a rare steal from the rhino monsters outside South Figaro. Steal 2 of them for Sabin for use w/ te Genji Glove received from the Returners scene. Sabin will truck through his portion of the split. Raise his MagPwr later or equip 2 Earrings
> Gau solos the WoB. Chicken Lip, found near Maranda, will allow him to cast Quake
> Gogo can cast espers indefinitely. Use an esper, mime it, cycle back to Gogo and mime again without taking action as anyone else
> Unequip Mog's shield and spear at the beginning. It goes into your inventory and you won't see a Mythril shield for a while
> Most of the monsters in the Art House in the WoR have suits(Moogle, chocobo)to steal. All of these suits can eventually be gambled into Genji Armor at the collisuem and Mud Suuds at Kefka's Tower have Thunder Shields to steal which can be turned into Genji Shields
Ty for that lol literally starting VI Rn
Also these in the WoB:
Templar - casts Fire 2
Slam Dancer - casts Ice 2
Ghost - casts Bolt 2, but makes Gau undead, so be careful in using cure spells
And of course, Stray Cat, with the Catscratch physical attack, Gau is virtually unstoppable
Other secrets would be:
The 2nd tempest from number 128
The moogle charm
The hidden ribbon in south figaro
The genji gloves
The vanish + doom glitch
The Genji equipment kind of sucks out of ALL the party members that can equip the full SET the best one to do so is on Shadow only.
But since Vanish Doom won't work don't bother to kill Intangirs for spell learning since odds are the Rhodox Rage for Snare won't WORK either because of that learn ALL WoB spells on the Floating Continent instead.
2x Mytthril claws NOT needed ABUSE he hell out of that infinite loop BEFORE fighting Ultros the first time until lv 36 then at that point Terra/Sabin/Edgar can pretty much kill everything in 1 hit.
The most important tip for me like you mentioned was switching from single target to multitarget with R bumper when selecting spells is a godsend
How do you do that again? I'm playing with a PS3 controller displaying X Box button names.
Just finished final fantasy 16 and now I'm in the mood to play a final fantasy game, it's been a while 😂
Blitzes do not require the diagonal input. Aura bolt for instance which is a quarter circle left can be done by pressing one direction twice. So, down down left, or down left left. Fire dance I use left left down down right, etc.
I wasn't sure since that TRICK was removed from the PC/Mobile version of the game which is why I wasn't sure if the easy blitz method STILL works on this pixel version.
`that is so helpfull tyo know, ima test this out
I used to play this as underleveled as possible since your stats would remain the same even as you level up, the only real stat increase was in HP and MP. However you could still "level up" a specific stat by equiping a Summon and only Then go ahead and level up as usual.
One thing I do love about the pixel remaster and the remaster of 7-9 is when you done grinding for a time being seen the enemies in that specific areas(for the trophy in each of the pixel remaster) is that you can turn off the random battles so no more annoying random battles every step when your trying to get to places or find a chest you missed. Which brings me to the second and third reasons I love about the pixel remaster. The first is its easier to figure out where your going and the other is when the map is pulled up you can see where the chests on the map and after pushing triangle on the map screen you can see how many chests or hidden items there are in the location your at(unfortunately from 3 onwards you'll still have to figure out where the hidden items are or look at a guide) the only thing I wish is that I wish they were based off the later versions and not the original cause of the extra content but I still enjoy the games regardless
very high quality video, I was surprised you didn’t have a ton of subs
Thank you, that means a lot! :D
Awesome video!
In the second world look for a little desert spot to grind cactrots and Hoovers. Big spot for xp and magic leveling.
Also, it’s cheap, but casting vanish and then doom or xzone on most targets including bosses will one shot them
Vanish+Doom/X-Zone only works on SNES / PSX versions.
@@AkaiAzul Right. That was pretty much patched. Only works on older versions.
As an avid final fantasy player and someone who finds pleasure in random encounters and grinding, on my second play through through, I find myself wishing that I found this video before I started my first play through. Each and every trick and tip you mentioned would have been really helpful for me! And also, if you like this kind of game, I highly recommend final fantasy 9 if you haven’t tried it before, It’s definitely a step up in difficulty from 6 though if your not into this stuff.
Thanks! I'm glad to hear you think the tips i gave are helpful. I haven't played 9 yet but it's definitely on my list!
@@playitalready6191 also try ff 10 its my favorite of the series , i finished all games from 1 to 13
Thank you!!
not the video i was looking for but a great introduction to the game for any that haven't played it. i was actually looking for more advanced tactics. i gather that Vanish and X-Zone no longer instakill bosses as an example or i enjoy the gengi glove and offering combo with lock and a valiant knife and the atma weapon. i know there are probably other tactics ive never used and was looking to see what was out there
I came in late to this game and it’s definitely my favorite of the final fantasy games and I’ve play a handful of them
Replaying it now and just regoing over the game
Thank you for this! I played through this with my cousin as a child. I went to play it again like six months ago and I got completely decimated by that early boss at the top of that mountain (I think it’s a guy with a bandanna?) so I probably needed to grind a bunch more, I just didn’t know I had to grind that early.
It's ok, that one is a scripted battle, you're not supposed to win that with your party, just do enough damage fast, until Edgar's bro jumps in, and then just do a Street Fighter move to end the fight.
I replayed in the mobile version. It was tough to do the trick to overpower the characters in the river using the trick using Banon since I had no turbo button to exploit that trick.
The PS version allows characters to run by holding a button, so the sprint shoes aren't necessary (although equipping them and holding the button will make them run even faster). Does the PC version not have a run button?
"Sa-BEAN??" You're killin' me dawg, lol. 😮💨 It's SAY-BIN. 😉
SAH-BIN.
Great game on my misoo mini plus.
Subscribed for FF6
im new to the game and i couldn't find any answers online, but once you beat the game are you able to still roam around and finish things up(i wanna hopefully finish the game and go for some of the remaining steam trophies)
Hi Keshaki! You'll get a star next to your save file and if you load the save it will put you at your last save before the final boss. So you can keep running around after you beat it!
@@playitalready6191 thanks :D
I dont get it i buy the Handy/Phone Remake Version but the Graphik doesnt Look like yours. What did i wrong?
How do you get the smooth graphics version of the game i have pixel remastered version it dosent look nothing like this one?
This is the old version that was a port of the mobile version. I think they removed it from steam when the pixel remaster came out. Everyone says this was the worst version to play though haha.
I am about to start playing final fantasy VI in GBA versión. But now that I' have found this video I'm not sure if I should play your version instead. What do you think?
I've read that the GBA version has some extra content like an additional dungeon. I don't know about the PC version (I've played only the SNES and PS ones).
Not using the ATMA mod tool to fix up the steam version is a huge loss, it improves the game drastically in everyway except gameplay mechanics basically
Awesome review!
"Spells can be switched between single and multi target by pressing the right bumper button" I'm 20 hrs in WHAT
The game is so easy... I didnt even need to grind... Just beat the pixel remaster a few days ago. The game was easier than I remembered on the SNES 10 years ago
I agree that the game seems easier. But I've had a tougher time beating the dragons this time around. I don't remember having that much trouble with the dragons in the NES version.
my brother has been playing this game recently, he doesn’t have access to internet so he asks me to look things up for him, does anyone know if finding ninja is any different after the world is destroyed? i have no clue what that means so if someone could maybe clarify for me so i can help my brother that would be great!
Ninja the enemy, or the ninja character (which would be Shadow)?
Cool none spoiler vid.
I always pronounced it "Say-bin"
Not sure why people think the remasters graphics are so ugly. From watching this video they look like a slightly cleaner version of the old school graphics. It's faithful to the original imo
Thanks you made me not wanting to Play this game anymore. Why everything is so complicated.
I have this game for my SNES and I am trying so hard to get into this game and final fantasy in general. I get lost and do not know what to do at all
Just follow a guide if you're having difficulty.
Where are you lost at?
Gamefaqs is your best friend
I felt that the Game was tooooo easy, that's the only problem i had with it
2 spells... Vanish then Doom
Man those graphics are horrific. I don’t know how that made it out of Square-Enix. No idea why they didn’t just port it with the original graphics. I love Final fantasy 6 but I couldn’t stomach looking at these graphics, it looks like deviant art fan fiction garbage.
Good tips though and I’m glad to hear that people are still discovering this game. It’s one of the absolute bests of all time
Do you know how to get rid of the 2 black bars on the side?
Good one 😊
Pourquoi Pas Do you know how to do it? It is such a disgraceful thing that they didnt even give us a choice to remove these damn bars 😭
@@andylarson8704 omg you were not joking 😂. Dude there was no 16:9 at that time, you can’t get rid of those without enlarging things. This ain’t csgo. I’m playing snes mini on a 65’’ and Nintendo even included kind of a « wallpaper » for those bars.
Pourquoi Pas dont worry. I found out how to do it. I wont tell any one how to do it. I found it by myself. It looks amazing now i got rid of those damn black bars and in the remake it look way much better now it is truly full screen. XD
You can play on an emulator and stretch the the display to fit your full screen, otherwise, as the game was meant to be played on a square screen (I believe) not much I can do for you
if playing optimal, nearly every character should be in the back row.
the lack of detail in the snow of the STEAM VERSION is awful....
Game is more or less the same between PC/SNES/GBA but i really prefer the GBA one haha
GBA has better sprites, worse music, all bonus content.
say no to banon 3 times for genji glove another tip
equip everyone with wall rings than do multitargeted spell on the party to have that spell hit the boss 4 times
wait he already said that
if you equip someone with the offering and genji glove they can attack 8 times in won attack if your doing this build have the user use atma weapon as there 1st weapon
I recommend playing it on the NES version, it's much visually beuty than de pc version
This was on SNES not NES
@@UninvitedGhost you're right sorry hehe then i recommend playing it on SNES
U r ❤️
Not to be a dick or anything I swear but I feel like there wasn't any actual hints or tips in this for 'beginners'. It felt more like it really just boiled down to you basically just saying "Just play the game, and the second act isn't nearly as linear as the first act. Also don't miss mog." I was honestly hoping for something along the lines of, ' this area here is great for early game leveling' or like 'here's some early equipment you could possibly miss that can be super beneficial to your party early on' stuff like that yanno? Sorry for being that guy, I'm sure the comments will tear me apart for thinking my own personal thoughts on something that everybody loves, but I'm literally getting ready to play this game for the first time (The Gameboy advance port to be precise) and wanted to see how powerful I could get my party members as early as possible for the hell of it but I haven't found any such video thus far. Mind you I HAVE started FF VI a few times in the past but never got to far in it really, for what reason I can't tell you as I kind of always just faded away from playing it at certain points, but still I want to give this game the good solid playthrough with attention to as much detail as it certainly is a game that deserves such a playthrough. After this though and ALOT of searching for said 'high level early game' hints and tips that I've tried to find I've come to the conclusion that I'm probably better off giving this a blind playthrough for my first full run of the game anyways and enjoying it regardless without putting restrictions and stipulations on myself cause that may end up ruining my experience and cause me to not finish it yet again. Regardless though your video was well put together, it just wasn't what I was personally looking for. But thank you though. I still gave it a like though cuz I'm not s complete dickhead lolol take care man.
No hard feelings at all. Sounds like it wasn't the video you were hoping for. I hope that you enjoy the game at least!
These graphics are terrible compared to the original.
Lost me at pronouncing sabin so bad it gave me brain cancer
Perfectly fine pronunciation imo. I'm not a native speaker and I immediately knew who he meant.
Dude, you played the WORST version, heh. 🥲
