Ah, Final Fantasy VI, the best RPG of the First Golden Age of RPG's on the Super NES, along with Chrono Trigger.

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.

> 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

Just finished final fantasy 16 and now I'm in the mood to play a final fantasy game, it's been a while 😂

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

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

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 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.

very high quality video, I was surprised you didn’t have a ton of subs

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

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.

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.

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

Thank you!!

"Sa-BEAN??" You're killin' me dawg, lol. 😮‍💨 It's SAY-BIN. 😉

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.

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

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?

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)

Great game on my misoo mini plus.

How do you get the smooth graphics version of the game i have pixel remastered version it dosent look nothing like this one?

Subscribed for FF6

I dont get it i buy the Handy/Phone Remake Version but the Graphik doesnt Look like yours. What did i wrong?

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!

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

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?

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

Awesome review!

"Spells can be switched between single and multi target by pressing the right bumper button" I'm 20 hrs in WHAT

Cool none spoiler vid.

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

I always pronounced it "Say-bin"

I felt that the Game was tooooo easy, that's the only problem i had with it

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.

2 spells... Vanish then Doom

Do you know how to get rid of the 2 black bars on the side?

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....

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

Game is more or less the same between PC/SNES/GBA but i really prefer the GBA one haha

say no to banon 3 times for genji glove another tip

I recommend playing it on the NES version, it's much visually beuty than de pc version

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.

U r ❤️

These graphics are terrible compared to the original.

Lost me at pronouncing sabin so bad it gave me brain cancer

Dude, you played the WORST version, heh. 🥲
