  • Have a look at 66 trivia points about one of the greatest RPGs of all time, Final Fantasy VI.
    Included in this video are:
    * Glitches and developer oversights, like the Kutan Glitch, the Airship Glitch, and graphical bugs
    * Coding insights, like why 2000 means 293 if you squint at it the right way, or how the game creates a first-person swimming sequence
    * Little-known scenes players may miss, like Setzer repairing his airship, Sabin meeting Duncan's wife, and alternate dialogue in scenes
    * Hidden treasures and items that are either unobtainable or easy to miss
    * Dummied content like unused boss AI, dropped subplots, and the infamous Czar Dragon

    The soldier has Chocobo sprites because when characters ride magitek armor, they use the Chocobo sprites

    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.

      @DrakeyC  3 роки тому +9

      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.

    • @squarefan80
      @squarefan80 3 роки тому +8

      ​@@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.

    • @DrakeyC
      @DrakeyC  3 роки тому +5

      @@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.

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!

    #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

    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.

Am I missing something?
