Final Fantasy VI Glitch fest (spoilers abound)

[nightrnr]

1st of all, this thread and links will have massive spoilers and is pretty much just for veterans of the game:

So only dive further if you're a longtime fan of the game, recently obsessed (discovered everything you are going to) and/or just curious and don't mind having the story ruined for you (in more ways than one )

I guess I'm late to the party on this one, but I've never seen this particular topic come up on these forums.

Item of discussion:
"Let's Break Final Fantasy III" (SNES, but works for all versions/ports of the game):

Hil-a-ri-ous!!!

Most people have run into or at least heard about the Realm Sketch glitch, but this one was entirely new to me. The glitch produces situations in the game that only a Game Genie could hope to create...
...and it all starts with the classic mystical vehicle, the airship... AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME!!!
The possibilities are diverse are and often absurd, but entertaining. Forget having a FF6 sequel, this basically gives you "Back-to-the-Future" scenarios!

Anyways read the links for full disclosure and feel free to post your own reactions to it. I found it quite amusing.
I also was wondering who else didn't know about it...

Yeah I read through that LP page a couple of times a year. Amazing stuff. General Leo!

I had no idea about the ghosts. That is awesome.

Agreed. FFVI is one of my favorite games. The existence of these glitches only makes it better.

Yeah, having a permanent Ghost in your party's lineup is great. Too bad you can't choose which character they replace. Initially, I'd rather have Strago than Relm, but I think he's the first slot the ghosts take. And really, I wouldn't want more than one.
I suppose it doesn't matter later in the game though, and having Strago as a Ghost makes more sense.

If they ever do a complete makeover or updates of the game (like the different FFIV ports on DS and PSP), it would be neat of them to offer an end game option to change-up the party possibilities for future playthroughs.

They did confirm FFVI was getting remade for iOS and Android for release this Winter.

Nice! A pokey touchy tablet remake! I'll play it as soon as I finish Breath of Fire VI!

When I played FFVI for the first time, I was fighting some Reach Frogs (I think that's their name) and I used sketch. Oh boy, the battle became a glitch fest. I managed to escape and everything was back to normal. OR WAS IT? Next thing a knew, I had 99 Gem Boxs and 99 economizers and a ton of random weapons that yielded me enough Gil to retire with.

Now I can spam Ultima for only 2mp!
