You learn something new every day....

I was talking to my buddy and playing FF6A while not paying attention and repeatedly hitting 'a' during battle. I glance at my screen after a few seconds and I see large summons popping up on my screen and it took me a second to realize it was Crusader. My friend said he saw my jaw literally drop and asked me wtf was up. I told him I just saw the strongest summon on my screen wipe out my party while I was still in Narshe at the WOB. Of course that meant absolutely nothing to him (he doesn't play FF OMG LOSER) but it made me happy that a game I've been playing since my childhood can still surprise me. I'm just happy I saved a few minutes before this surprise....


I forgot to mention this obviously occured through Setzer's slot technique. After reading online I see it was triple bar that summons a random esper? I guess I haven't used Setzer enough to experience that, or I did at one point and just completely forgot =D

Yeah, Setzer is full of surprises. The first time I saw Bahamut was because of his Slots. I've never seen Joker's Doom or its non-party lethal variant.

Ive never gotten anything besides Flash and Lagomorph. It also took me a while to figure out GP Rain actually used my Gold

[Roogle]

SkyRender? Are you the one who came up with an alternate translation for Final Fantasy VI? What brings you around these parts?

There is a way to manipulate the Slots command to make Setzer into a very different character. I think that he would be more widely used if the Slots command was used like this by the majority of the player base. I remember the tricks looking like they would be a little too much for me to do regularly. I think there's a guide about it up on GameFAQs. Imagine what he could accomplish if he simply had selectable abilities like Edgar or Sabin!

[SkyRender]

You are mistaking me for another person who enjoys the same name =D

[Wolf Kanno]

Yeah, Roogle is mistaking you for this Sky Render and I'll admit I thought you might be him as well.

[SkyRender]

Oh, haha. It wasn't my intent to jack his name. I like Cyan a lot as a character, and I don't know why, but I always thought Sky Render sounded like a pretty sweet sword so I use this name on occasion.

I never trust Setzer's slots anywhere near enough to use them as anything but a novelty. I imagine that if I'd got Crusader it'd just put me off using them!

[Spooniest]

It is kind of nice that Lagomorph casts "Remedy" on all party members, but the game never informs you of this...

This topic is only a few months old so I'll respond.

It occurred to me right away that random stuff would be coming out of his abilities. A slot as a special ability should be your first clue.

The random nature makes it worse than other specials and magic in general. Did not rely on it much.
