Ok, I am playing the FF Anthology version for the first time (I beat it on emulator a while back), and Ultros(the octopus), after so long keeps saying "you...frighten me" or something close to that and then tentacle BAM to Banon...Banon dies, I get game over...how the hell do you keep Banon from dying?
Put him in the back row and have him use 'Health' every round.
Holy crap I forgot all about the back row. :p
Yes, make sure Banon is always in the back row. Have him use health every round, like Doc said, no matter what's happening. When he gets hit, have the next person use a potion (or cure if it's Terra's turn) on him immediatly.
I think this happens to everyone the first time they play FF6. I kept losing Terra though, not Banon.
I always put Terra AND Banon in the back row. I keep losing Terra too, otherwise. Edgar and Sabin can smack Ultros to their heart's content in the front row while Banon uses health every round and Terra casts Fire or Cure when needed.
Takes more time, but you get to torture the octopus longer. :tongue:
technically, none of them need to be in the front row at all. I always had Edgar use Tools, Sabin use Blitz, Terra use Magic, and Banon use Health. At least in that battle.
Yeah I used to have the trouble all the time against Ultros... it was so long ago and I can't remember how I beat him... but I'm pretty sure I didn't put anyone in the back row.
nope not me! not because i,m good, cause i read the bestiary before play and found out 2 put everyone back row. muwha ha ha lol.Quote:

OMG my foster sister had an SNES and a copy that had that SAME glitch! I thought she had the only one...Quote:

Yet somehow her brother knows how to get past him without Blitz. O_o
what? he must be hyper powerful AND fast to do it since u have a doom and your normal attacks normally do like 5 or sumthin silly.
this is the psx version 4 my friend. u think they would ensure that glitch never occurs. wow, the unfornate bretheren of the blitz glitch have found each other lol.
A glitch...on a CD version? Wow...talk about unlucky.
lol, i think he may have "damaged" it "slightly" but i dont care, it aint my copy ha ha ha, ahh joyous ff6! how can sum of my peers prefer ff8 to this genius..fools!
Yeah, I prefer not to cheat like that :pQuote:

Actually, you should put almost everyone at the back row, I mean...
Terra --- she uses Magic. Morph doubles it. Unless you want to use Atma Weapon then, oh well.
Locke --- he can use 'back row' weapons and I don't think capture affects his damage at back row. I rarely played Locke.
Edgar --- Tools. no effect.
Sabin --- Blitz, no effect.
Shadow --- Throw, no effect.
Strago --- Lore, no effect
Cyan --- Swordtec, no effect.
etcetcetc...
The only people I find a need to place at the front line are Gau, maybe Gogo, maybe Umaro. That's all =\
Yes, If you want to pay a lot of attention to normal battles, and have oodles of mp to waste or a boatload of shurikens. Which reminds me, why have shurikens become so pathetic? They first appeared in FFIII, where a finite number of the expendables appeared in the entire game but they could be used to cream the enemy. Still powerful in VI and a little less in V, they're terrible in everything else. Oh poo.
dude, for the blitz thing I had to do the vargas part 3 times on my second game because pummel wasn't working... ARG! I kept restarting cause it didn't work. I got sooo angry. :mad2:
You could buy all the shurikens you wanted in FFIII, in a hidden shop in Eureka, and they were so powerful (and expensive) because they were weapons exclusive to the Ninja, one of the game's two ultimate classes. FFV had no "ultimate" classes (except maybe Dancer), so of course Ninja and their shuriken weren't as powerful. This continues in FFVI and onward: shuriken aren't as powerful because the Ninja in later games have never again taken the position of power they had in FFIII.Quote:

Plus when FFVI (FFIII) first came out there were no such things as strategy guides. You had to wait for gaming mags to include a strategy guide in their monthly mags in four/five part series. So when you first played a game you were on your own.Quote:

It's a good mponey-making strategy really, make some parts of the game so difficult or make some of the quests' pre-requisites so asinine and confusing and people will buy the strategy guide as well to figure it all out, as they pretty much have to.Quote:

Every time I play ff6, I forget about putting anyone in the back row, until the fight with Ultros. But after the fight with Ultros I usually keep everyone in the front row, there isn't much need to put anyone in the back row later on in the game. :mog:
I just let him kill Terra instead. Banon usually survived.
I don't like wasting all those phoenix downs, so I just do the back row stuff. It's not like it makes much sense to have her in the front row anyway, I mean it's not like you'll be using Terra as an attacker very often.
for that matter, Nintendo Power made an entire issue that was the Final Fantasy strategy guide. That's why I bought the game in the first place: becuase the guide made it look really cool (which is was/is).
also, props to Kishi for the Dancer comment. :D
