I know, you are probably used to the name FF3, but it will be called FF6 from here on out. The purpose of this guide isn't for cheating and looking at all of the time, but for a reference guide. It will be just like a strategy guide, but it is free, and you can actually find one! The game has gotten so old, it would be pretty hard. Why am I writing this FAQ when Mynock has a perfectly good guide? Two reasons. A. I am bored, and I would like to write a FAQ for my favorite game to kill time. B. Mynock needs some dang competition! I will not steal ANYTHING from his guide, nor do I want to. I want a challenge, and I have accepted this one. I will be writing the walkthrough by previous knowlege, another playthough of the game, and a little help from my strategy guide. I will either make the lists myself, or not put them in the FAQ. FF6 is my favorite game on Earth, and I will love writing this FAQ. If anyone wants to help me, let me know. Thanks. ************* Revision History ************* 1.0 - This is the first version. I finished the Intro section, the conclusion, and some of the basic stuff. This is really just a release to get things started. 1.5 - I finished the song list, and the Esper/Spell list. It has some good stuff, and it worth checking out. **************************************** PART 2 - THE BASICS **************************************** ************ The Basic Story ************ There are MANY characters in FF6, so don't try and keep track of them all just yet. The main story is about a mysterious young girl named Terra. She has the gift of magic. No HUMANS have that gift. There was a war in this world 1000 years ago, and it left the world in ruin. Humans fought against the Espers: mythical creatures that could use magic. No one knows why Terra can use magic, because she looks human... all except for her green hair! It turns out, this evil empire that is trying to get her (to get her magical abilities under their control, and so that they can use her to talk to the Esper, which have gone to their own world). It also turns out that they have a bad apple in the Empire: Kefka. He is an insane war leader, that doesn't just want to get magic back, he wants to use magic to destroy the world! Terra makes many friends along the way. Some die, some fall in love, and some go insane. That's for you to figure out in the game! ************ The Characters ************ I will have the main characters (that are playable and are in your party for a large portion of the game) in this first section, with a list of their abilities and stuff, and then the bad guys and good guys with small roles in the next section.

Locke - Treasure hunter and trail worn traveler, searching the world over for relics of the past... Ability - Steal Note - Steal can change to Capture.

Relm - In her pictures she captures everything: forests, water, light... the very essence of life... Ability - Sketch/Control Note - Relm can draw an enemy, and have the drawing attack for your side. Wearing the Fake Mustache, she can use the Control ability, which lets her control the enemy for your side. Umaro - Admirer of bone-carvings, as strong as a gigas, a sasquatch pal with muscle! Ability - None Note - Umaro fights on your side, but you can't control what he does. However, with the Blizzard Orb or Rage Ring relics, he can do two special attacks: Ice Storm and Rage. Gogo - Shrouded in odd clothing,... is this a man...?...a woman...?...or should we ask...? Ability - Mimic Note - Gogo can Mimic any person that comes before him, doing anything they just did.

If you think of some more good ones, let me know. ************ Basic Gameplay ************ The gameplay of Final Fantasy 6, for me, is perfect. It combines pre-set abilities, like in FF4 (for better character development) and customization, like in FF5 (for more replay). The pre-set abilities have already been talked about in the "The Basic Characters" section. Each character has one pre-set ability that only they can use. That also gives the game strategy. You must plan what characters you want in your party. The customization comes in the form of Magicite, the ruins of dead Espers. You can equip them to different people. When you do this, 2 things happen. You can summon that Esper, to attack, or heal, or do something ^_^. Also, by keeping the Espers equipped for a certain amount of time, you can learn the spells that that Esper can give you. You can see a list of the Espers and their spells later in the FAQ. You must give each person good spells, or else they will be fairly useless in battle. Use good judgment, and keep your characters up to date with spells, and you'll be OK in the world of Final Fantasy 6! ************************************************** PART THREE - THE DIRT ************************************************** ************** The Walkthrough ************** UNDER CONSTRUCTION **************** The Cheapo Secrets **************** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ********* Boss Guide ********* UNDER CONSTRUCTION ************************************************* PART FOUR - LISTS AND OTHER STUFF ************************************************* ******** Rage List ******** UNDER CONTRUCTION ******* Lore List ******* UNDER CONSTRUCTION *********** Coleseum List *********** UNDER CONSTRUCTION **************** Rumours in the Game **************** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ************** Shadow's Dreams ************** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ********* Armor List ********* UNDER CONSTRUCTION ********** Weapon List ********** UNDER CONSTRUCTION ******* Relic List ******* UNDER CONSTRUCTION *************** Spell/Magicite List *************** First, I will write the Espers, the spells they give you, what their summon does in combat, their location, and what they give you for each time you level up.
