6 things you may not have known about FFVI

[Wolf Kanno]

Lots of fascinating titbits in this thread! Some are fairly common knowledge, but most are things I've never come across or noticed before. To everyone who's posted, thanks and good researching.

52. Gau and Gogo cannot use the Merit Award in the GBA version of VI cause SE learned about "Wind God Gau".

Interesting... I'm not familiar with this - do tell.

Cat Scratch is a move from the Rage Black Cat that pretty much dos 4x physical damage all the time, making it really easy to get it to do max damage at early levels.

Cyan's Kazekiri (Tempest) blade radomly casts Wind Slash and gets a bonus with the Catscratch ability doing higher than normal damage. Give Gau the Offering and Merit award so he can equip the Tempest and attack four times using boosted Wind Slash moves. After the SNES version, Gau can't use Merit Awards because of this combo, and now in the GBA version, Gogo can't use it either cause you could set him up the same way.

78. Cid actually has a the longest last name of the Cid's in FF. His full name is Cid Del Norte Marquez and his name roughly translates as "Cid, son of Marquis from the north". He is also one of three Cid's who actually dies.

FFXII's Doctor Cid (Cidolfus Demen Bunansa) actually wins by a couple of letters [/QUOTE]

Del Norte Marquez is his last name since its technically a title. Del means Of, Norte means North, and Marquez is a noble title. "Of North Marquez"

I don't know too many people who would use The, Of, a, and an as middle names. John Of Adams

It's not very different from O'Brien or MacArthur since the O and Mac are shortened words "Of Brien" and Mac being Gaelic for "Son Of".

Back to the list...
161. is Del's entry

162. VI is the last game in the series to not have a run button

163. speaking of... VI is the last numbered FF game to feature the skills Dash, Double-hand, and Dual Wield.
