I spent some time getting back into Final Fantasy 6 this weekend. I started it for my summer challenge, got a little past the halfway point and stopped.
I picked up in the world of ruin, having just got my 7th character (I had Celes, Sabin, Edgar, Setzer, Terra, Mog and Umaro, with the latter 2 being my most recent recruits). I managed to play through some more areas recruiting more characters along the way - Cyan at Mt. Zozo, Gau on the Veldt, Shadow at the Cave on the Veldt, and Relm at Owzer's House on Saturday.
Sunday I picked up from there, found Strago at the Kefka followers tower and then went and got some lores for him. I also explored Cyan's dream and got the Alexander Esper, and finally explored the Zone Eater's belly and found Gogo.
That's where I left it, and by my reckoning I have one lone character left to find, which is Locke. There's probably a bit more side content, perhaps some espers I'm missing but I think I'm not too far from the final stretch now?
Not sure what levels my characters will need to be, but they're currently ranging from about 30-32. I know I need to use 12 characters for the end dungeon, so just deciding who I will leave behind so I don't need to grind their levels. Umaro seems like an obvious candidate, but not sure who else to leave. Gau might be my choice because even with his Stray Cat rage he's starting to fall off in damage compared to other characters now - and his random nature has a habit of triggering painful counter attacks. That, and actually getting new rages for him is a pain and figuring out what they each do is tedious.
