This was my favorite game at that time (snes), and still one of the best games ever made.

[@jasonpayne4952]

This was my favorite too. Also SNES. And when I saw this video, I'll admit I thought I wouldn't learn anything and only opened it for the nostalgia... but I didn't know ANY of what was shown!

[@vintagepennies6899]

Still my fav

[@brooder]

Menu merge stuff looks crazy

[@Bdewd]

It really so go brbrbrbrbr

[@VampireForFood]

ff6 is on my personal top 5 games of all times list, i didnt know about any of these glitches though. cool video!

[@Bdewd]

thanks! work is getting pretty crazy these days but I wanna see if I can get a second edition out sometime soon

[@ErdricSeville]

11.- Its not fi ga ro, its Fiiigaro, Like in El barbero de Sevilla, Fígaro the character, thats where it comes from.

I got the goggles weapon by accident through a sketch glitch once. Freaked me out I never used Sketch again lol

Wow I thought this was going to be one of many videos where I already knew every point but you got me with a couple of them!

it's always fun to find a list with something new in it tbh. i know exactly what you mean about facts you didn't know and you walk away knowing all of them :(

[@zuriel4783]

This was a nice list, i'm pretty well versed in FF3/6 (or so I thought lol) and I only knew 3 of these. I'm surprised you only have 628 (now 629) subs, keep it up you have alot of potential!

[@Bdewd]

Thanks! I'm hoping I find some time and motivation to create a few more videos before Christmas here that I think will be fun

[@MrKarl-tc6fr]

best FF game hands down.. difficult gameplay, ensemble cast, and god tier music and storytelling.

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

Let's hope Goggles as a weapon makes it into Dissidia 3. You know, the real Dissidia 3. The one that's totally going to come out and surprise us out of nowhere, right after that Dissidia 1/2 remaster collection that is definitely coming very, very soon.

[@kman216]

This is my favorite all time game. I clicked the video expecting to know most, but I have been humbled in my assumptions. Great video!

[@WinspearUltima]

It’s interesting facts for sure, whenever I replay final fantasy 6 I’ll consider using one of them except the 2 glitch ones though.

[@RPGtourguide]

Cool things to try with this classic game! Menu merging definitely looks like a fun one to play around with. Great video, Bdude! 😁

if only it wasn't such a process to get goggles onto the right hand it would be far more applicable LOL

[@ArkThePieKing]

[@GoldenYoshi1]

Great video. I actually didn't know about the Lete River manipulation and Goggle weapon. I know someone else said it, but it's always disappointing when you already know everything in a video like this lol

[@Bdewd]

someone got mad and said "these aren't even facts about the game!" so i had to respond "where do you see facts in the title? it just says things" D: LOLOL it is fun to see something weird or out there that a person didn't know tho. glad you enjoyed it

[@smkfet]

I was part of the FF6 online community for decades and I only knew about one of these. Great job

[@Bdewd]

Oh sick! Which one did you know

[@smkfet]

@@Bdewd South Figaro skip. Also I knew about the moogles, but I don't remember if there was something in the moogle section you said that I didn't know. There was a REALLY big thread several years ago, but more than a few years after I got away from FF6 when they first discovered that you could play until the airship without saving die and come back with the airship at Narshe and that's how I discovered that moogles will replace your party members, but I think even in that section you included something else that I didn't know. I also knew from experience that you can equip nonweapons with the sketch glitch but I didn't know in particular that the goggles would never hit and everything that followed from there. I think in my sketch glitch days nonweapons that ended up in weapon slots would still function as weapons in some capacity

[@lordhudson3004]

THANK YOU for throwing in that hilarious beginning. I owned FF3 back in the day. Not 6. Lol. Ahhh that was so good.

[@Bdewd]

Lol when you stream it enough you hear the meme enough its worth an intro in a video hahaha

[@FranckKnight]

I knew about the Moogles, but that's about it in this list. There's 15 character slots, and story events will have them swapped. Biggs (Vicks) and Wedge's data get replaced by Moogles, using certain glitches it's possible to have them back in your team. Same with any character that temporarily join your team, such as Maduin, Leo, Gesthalt and Kefka, due to some battles where they appear, even if you don't actually control them. Using some glitches you can get them in your team, but they will disappear again when you try to change the party on the airship. Old games like this had coding limits for size, so they didn't have lots of checks to make sure things are done properly. They mostly just assume you played the game normally. So skipping specific events does not setup the proper character, like Celes here, and the game does nothing to correct it later on. At least until another event forces it to happen anyway, like World of Ruin recruitment. Coding limits also means that the game just does whatever with what's in the memory/data. So when you get Kefka or Maduin for example, they are missing sprites, like for riding chocobos, or certain attacks that you get from using some accessories. It's pretty interesting stuff when you look into that.

[@Bdewd]

One thing I recently learned about is if you steal the merchant or solider clothes in lockes scenario then do the glitch to skip celes, locke just wears that costume for quite some time. Pretty funny to see. Bouncing on the idea of the game not checking things haha

[@badazzboxer]

Have to try the Locke and Celes glitch to save some time lol

[@ArkThePieKing]

I definitely did know some of these, but surprisingly some of them were new info to me! I bet I've got a few things about this game you didn't know yourself, like did you know within the game there's unfinished data for another set of characters of 16 characters? Even crazier in the Japanese version they have Jobs much like the main cast, but those jobs are actually named after the gods from the Glorantha TTRPG setting! Still though that merged magic/item menu thing was crazy! I thought I knew all the major glitches in this game but that one blew my mind open, I'd never seen it before lol

[@Bdewd]

Huh that is a pretty cool fact! There's a ton of really cool glitches the game has and speedrunning has shown me not only what they are but how to use them effectively which I think is super cool

[@j-scribble7676]

Seeing this, makes me wanna play this game again! 🎉

[@drippinwet774]

Goggles as a Weapon. Instead of attacking the enemy, you attack the game itself.

[@Bdewd]

it's pretty freaking nifty for some fun runs!

[@SuprToe]

I remember the game would freeze at some point in the Phoenix Cave when I used Sketch with Relm. Not sure about the specifics, but I replicated it a few times as a kid... just not on purpose.

[@Kowalth]

In fact, I did know all 10 facts and even more. Been in a Speedrunning / ROM Hacking community for many years.

I fully expected to know most, if not all of these but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't know any!

[@SabreWolf18]

That locke bypass guard is interesting

[@Bdewd]

Its much easier than it looks like. And now locke can't disappoint me from his inability to steal clothes :)

[@Gnordlan]

Encounter skip suggestions, such as explicitly or implicitly described in 1-4 make specific rages unobtainable for Gau. The encounters needed to learn specific rages are only found in those locations and most can't be obtained later. The Lete River is obtainable later, but is still eventually missable. If you're doing a version with achievements, and you want the All-Rages achievement, you need to find 6 enemies that aren't in the bestiary, and dozens of missable encounters! There are 4 encounters where you have exactly once chance to get them, and if you don't get them, you can't get the rage or the achievement. I didn't know about the glitches, so 5-6 were new for me!

[@Bdewd]

A lot of these I've learned from speedrunning so missing encounters is actually ideal lol. But you're right, you will miss out if you're going for 100%!

[@USDebtCrisis]

[@RokuroCarisu]

What about the invisible sketch glitch that adds a bunch of random items to your inventory? That's basically the Missingno. of FF6.

[@Bdewd]

the sketch glitch could be an entire video all on it's own for how complicated it is with the hundreds of molds that can be created with it

[@chadd990]

I have a feeling that these were all found by speed runners. I only knew about the guard skip, but that's because I seen it in another things you didn't know video. I wish they had a port for this on the Switch.

[@Bdewd]

Well the pixel remaster apparently are coming to switch. Feels very different if you've put a lot of time into the game but a good casual playthru still

[@veghesther3204]

I also abused the HELL Out of Vanish Doom/X zone PS1/SNES versions but the Sketch Glitch SNES version IF you trigger it CAN make the game unplayable so NEVER save the game IF you ever trigger that Glitch. While Gau can NOT equip the Merit Award on the PS1 version its not really needed put MOST weapons in ITEM slot number 255 on the PS1 version like Cyan's Tempest sword Force the AI to equip "best" weapons on Gau on the PS1 version and the games AI will automatically take the weapon that you put into item slot 255 and equip it to Gau. Since Gau's ONLY weapon he can equip is useless those Imp Spears since you deal crap for damage using that weapon if NOT in the IMP status but that status ITSELF DOES prevent his Rages from being used. So that equip anything glitch is ONLY useful on Gau if you wanted to equip the same Tempest Sword on any party member that isn't Cyan/Gau that way you would need to NOT own ANY OTHER weapon type that party member can equip before the Equip item in slot 255 trick PS1 version would work on him/Her not worth it.

[@infernape100]

glitch to have moogles, moogle only run

I'll look into this but don't think it's possible since you get terra and lockes character data before seeing any moogles.

the main point that i thought was cool was for the marshal skip you only need good movement whereas the K@N one requires menu manipulation to get the same desired effect. cool part is using that same idea to skip the K@N guards you can use to skip inferno in kefka's tower. in case you ever wanted to use crusader on inferno or something LOL
