I saw Celes' limit when I was a kid in middle school... I had no idea what it was when it happened, how to reproduce it, and what the hell happened... I hadn't seen it again till I saw this video some 10-15?+ years later... Crazy stuff.
I've only seen Setzer's Red Card while fighting the Goddess. It was amazing when I saw it, not to mention finishing her. I was looking forward to Shadow's desperation attack, though.
@zingodoom Yeah, Umaro can't be controlled and Gau has Rage instead of Fight.I thought Limit triggered when performing any standard physical attack, but they do when selecting (or for Gogo, Mimicking) the Fight command instead...
ZOMFG, i remember once, all my party got almost wiped out by this electric boss whelk inside a chest after fighting it for like half hour (i dont remember what part of the game it was.) i only had Setzer left with 1 HP, so i was like "FK this shet! Its over!" and i just pressed FIGHT then BAM "Red Card" 9999 dmg! The boss died at that critical moment.
I was like "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFKKK YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"
i played this game way too many times, and i only saw one about 14 years ago it was when you first fight kefka with the different teams i think and all my characters died locke got down to nothing and he raged out all over kefka i flipped out and thought i hallucinated or dreamed the whole thing, trying over and over to find it again.. looked it up on the internet and here it is. thank you jesus, i'm not crazy!! XD
The game that deserves a remake the most is the one often overlooked. C'mon Square, ditch ff14 and put all the money from that into an FF6 remake. Good thing this is most likely coming to the PSN in the near future though.
@lockhart1433 I don't understand...if nintendo has partial rights over it, then how come FF6 was also released for the PSone. Also wasn't FF1 and 2 originally on Nintendo's console and they eventually remade it onto the PSP
@Rhapthorne3 same with ff4 but they were REMADE and yes it was released on ps1 but didn't sell well so they rely on remakes and ff6 will be made after ff5 seeing as they skipped 3 because of how unpopular it is
@Rhapthorne3 square gave them rights to 1-6 after the ps1 releases failed due to ff7 so the game has to be remade using a different engine and they use the ff1 psp engine the proof is...IF you look closely...ff4 complete collection's characters have the exact same sprite with different clothing and features...even cecil looks like a fighter from ff1 psp with silver hair and armor...
We don't need another FF6 remake or "enhancement". The game's been released quite a few times. SNES / PS1 / GBA with crappy additions / Wii... Why don't they just make a quality *new* game? The only games that are really in need of remakes are the NES games. Like Earthbound 1, FF3 (The DS one is awful), Sweet Home, et al. Certainly one a late-age SNES game.
@iiiiiifggffggffgfgfg wait when has ff6 gotten a remake? Remake is not the same as an enhancement. I said that comment because people were wanting a next gen remake of ff7 after seeing the tech demo by sony for the ps3 a long time ago, and I thought that ff6 deserved a ps3/360 remake a lot more, not just an "enhancement"
@Dengakuman22 agreed, but as long as they keep the core of the game the same and just adding a bit extra to it, I think they can pull it off. FF4 (DS) is a good example of an excellent remake.
@Rhapthorne3 Funny how they are reissuing FFX in HD format, work on a sequel to their mmo, yet ignore fan requests for HD remakes of games such as FFVI, FFVII, and Chrono Cross as well. C'mon Square, get your priorities straight! The fans have spoken.
My first desperation attack funnily enough was when i made Edgar fight in the Coliseum against Siegfried in the World of Ruin. I was about to lose (i think?) cause i severely underestimated him (he was weak in previous encounters) then Edgar used his limit break and the Siegfried died :D :D:D
I remember how people thought these were hoaxes et.c. even though (at least in the EU version) there is at least ONE NPC IN THE GAME TELLING YOU INFORMATION OF SUCH OUTRIGHT. This is a few moments before your first fight with Ultros.
I remember the only time i ever had a character use their desperation attack was sabin when you were on the mine cart after the factory. when you fight the boss i lost both edgar and locke. i thought i was going to have to start the whole thing over again and suddenly sabin does some really strong attack that i had no idea existed. was never able to get anyone to do one again.
@Frohergeist That's a good point. I haven't played the game in a good while so I had forgotten about that. Now I remember though, Gau uses "rages" he learned from the Veldt, and Umaro plays like an FFV Berserker.
I've seen Celes' limit break a loooong time ago. I didn't see it coming, but I knew how it happened. That's when I realized the Limit Breaks were older than most people think. Also, never seen Riot Blade in the original so I didn't get the reference in Dissidia until I saw this video. Thanks for taking the time to post this! But one question... Doesn't Umaro have one?
I have no idea how many times I played through the game and I only ever saw one Desperation attack. I love that about VI. Starting with VII was the over reliance on Limits.
If I remember correctly you have to be near fatal to pull off limits (including in the snes version) but in ff6 I think they're called mantras instead of limit breaks, I'm pretty sure. They just programmed the mantras at a really low chance rate, it's pretty rare. At least now we know where the limit breaks started: ff6.
I only ever saw Mirage Dive when I was grinding each time I have Terra until she learns a new spell each time we go to a new area, and Locke was Level 17?(when new party members join in an FF game, they're always higher level than any1 in your current party if you did any grinding) so, I decided to cheat some experience off a Heavy Armor in Locke's scenario in South Figaro. It used Metal Knuckles and I said "Shit. I better not steal I should just straight up atta-- OH MY GOD LOCKE UR COOL!!!!!!"
Yea, a lot of people praise VII for the beginning of the Limit Break system but it was actually VI that laid the ground work for it. VI set up a lot of things that VII and later renditions got the credit for. Like having a villain that would kick Sephiorth and most other bosses asses for that matter. Who care's if Kefka was just a mad Clown who had one too many experiments done on him, least he wasn't a mama's boy(Sephy) or a cross dresser with an identity crisis(Kuja).
when i played this game, there were random moments when they would do some wacky moves and i never realized that was their desperation move. i just assumed its some glitch or perhaps i equipped them with something....
I've only gotten one desperation attack ever, I forget whose it was, I think Sabin's. I didn't know Umaro and Gau don't have them, though I guess that makes sense, since they don't have a fight command.
I've gotten Locke to perform his before, but it definitely threw me for a loop because I'd never heard of it. Thanks for showing us what all of the hidden limit breaks look like! Some are actually kind of cool.
ive actually seen this numerous time, but only terra's, she seemed to do it the most. second in line has to be sabin. but damn those things came in handy.
I remember once I was playing this game (as Final Fantasy III) on the SNES, when fighting Atma Weapon on the floating island, things were going bad for me, and suddenly Cyan unleashed his Desperation attack for a whopping 9999 , killing Atma weapon. I just ended up with a WTF look on my face, but I was glad Atma didn't kill my party. It was then that I discovered Desperation attacks onf FFVI. Those were the days.
Does Locke have an alternate desperation attack? I didn't even know they were in the game until he did one but I swear it was differnet, like he threw something at them or something. I suppose it's possible my memory is off, because it was quite some time ago.
@Cravdraa I don't know if anyone answered you yet. But perhaps what you saw wasn't Locke's Desperation Attack, but his alternate attack with the Tomahawk and/or Sniper (names used in the original US release), where sometime he would throw the weapon at the opponent for massive damage!
Best thing ever was I had genji glove and offering on Setzer and he busted out red card, I lost track of the number of times he attacked. Think it was 12, old SNES system. I was like "WTH is a Red Car-OMG!"
wooow¡¡¡¡¡ gogo has a desperation attack?? that's crazy =O the only desperation attacks i used were the shadow fang, the royal shock and the tsubame gaeshi when i saw cyan use it i got really excited
I remember getting Sabin's desperation attack out of nowhere. My cousin and I were mashing the button to attack to train, and when it happened all we saw was the damage. We shat ourselves LOL
Aero hits potentially your whole party and always drops the char's life down to critical range. Then u just fly to where the monsters are really weak. You can get life down however you like, I just like this cuz this is when u firstRly have control over (almost) all of ur party & can go newhere.
Also note there's in 1 in 16 chance of doing a desperation attack, but as I mentioned before first battle time has to exceed 25.6 seconds. This info is at gamefaqs Algorithm Guide under the SNES version.
READ THE FOLLOWING if you want to know how to do these: There is a battle timer coded into the game and any time in the first 25.6 seconds of battle a desperation attack cannot be performed -- so if you're killing the monsters really fast then that's probably why you can never get these to work no matter how many times you try. In the World of Balance one reliable way to set up for this is to let the red flying monsters around Vector cast Aero on you, then go to forest outside Narshe to do them.
Awesome, I played so many battles near death because I wanted to see these attacks, but never got all of them. And I remember the first time one happened, Shadow's desperation attack, I just about shat myself because I did NOT know that was possible.
I honestly think this is how Final Fantasy limit break attacks should be like. And yet this is another reason why IV>VI>All the other Final Fantasy's (What, I love IV).
My god there is so much about this game i dont know, and i got to the big things you fight between the warring triad and Kefka. Most of my characters are at level 37ish...
I cleared the game 8 times (or maybe even more often than that), doing every kind of challenge except low level and I've only seen a desperation once: Red Card.
The Desperation attacks, I remember them, at the beginning of the game there awesome, but later in the game they become really crappy since the battle damage caps at 9999, this makes the desperation attacks incredibly useless late in game, when alot of attacks late in game does 9999 and its multiple hits too.
It may be true if you're one of those players who opted to cap out the level before you're even halfway through the storyline. For those of us who didn't, these Desperation Moves were often a life saver in dire situations.
@ReiKusanagi This is one of the reasons I wish the old Final Fantasy games didn't have a damage limit of 9,999. Imagine the insane amounts of damage a guy could do if that limit had been lifted. But more importantly, would they have been able to?
@Smarty4789 don't count on it... Sometimes when you're on yellow health and you choose attack, there's a 5% chance of it being a desperation attack. I think they should be more powerful though, more like in FFVIII...
Wow... in the 2 or 3 times I've played through VI, I've only seen 1 desperation attack, Spinning Edge. I remember it killed a boss that was about ready to murder me.
Ah, desperation attacks. Good times, good times. It's just a pity the ones that aren't explicitly one hit kills grew useless as your characters got stronger.
Gau has rage instead which is a worthy trade off and Umaro you cant really control so more you can pick between him throwing people and his cold breath....You could imagine their Desperation attacks though. Besides I doubt very many things will live through a couple of cat scratch rages. >.>
I never once used any of these moves during my playthrough of the game. I knew they existed 'cause I'd read the tutorials, but it just never happened.
Gau and Umaro don't have desperation attacks because they don't have an "Attack" command, which is necessary in order to activate it. Gogo, for example, can't use his unless you equip the "Attack" command to his menu. Since his attacks suck, there's really not much of a reason to do this.
Very nice! I never did use any desperation attacks until that hard battle on top that mirror tower place...it was Edgar's final attack and saved my ass!
i hear this is game is awesome i just hope that they remake this with better graphics though... it's a shame i just can't find myself giving it a chance because of it's graphics...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
then you're missing a lot.
FF6 is way better then most of the 3D FF series. its storyline is one of the best RPG storyline thats why people love it despite its 2D graphics.
aside from that, RPG games were at its peak when they still had 2D graphics. some of the best RPG games were made during those times --> Final fantasy 6, Chrono trigger, Secret of mana 2, Pokemon
actually I care more about the story but the thing is I just can't enjoy it that much with low graphics i just hope they remake it at least at the same level as ff8 or 9.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Do yourself a favor: if you're talking about the Advance version, burn the cartridge (literally, with fire) and play the SNES one even if you have to emulate it.
Oh, that's a relief :D Yeah, I seriously think FF6A (Advance) is an abomination and should be burned. The script is rewritten to be more "accurate" to the emo, angsty, depressing, melodramatic, takes-itself-way-too-seriously Japanese version. The original SNES one was more loosely translated to appeal to Western audiences, which I think it does because we're not nihilistic weeaboos perpetually living in our teenage years :)
In other words the script in Advance really changes the characters.
i see, but what if someone made a fan copy of ff6 with all the extra stuff from that advance and put it on the snes? oh yeah and fun fact, originally kaiser dragon WAS on the snes, it was called czar dragon, but, and you were supposed to be attacked by him right after you beat the last dragon, but he was removed from the game, but not from the database,
Ya I agree, the original SNES translation is way better than the Advance translation.
I think what they should just do is make the actual dialogue the same as the SNES version, but the attacks, enemy names, etc, etc. should be re translated to fit the Japanese names, so it would be more consistent with other FFs
I played both (I also played the PS1 version and as usual the ps1 games were crap) and I enjoyed the advanced version SNES is better but either one is fine
You really need to try this game out because IMO it's the best FF game. The storyline is absolutely amazing as well as the game play. With the storyline, this is the first and only game where I felt every single characters' lives. Truly a master piece.
Hmm... I only saw Mirage Dive.(twice)

Does Locke have an alternate desperation attack? I didn't even know they were in the game until he did one but I swear it was differnet, like he threw something at them or something. I suppose it's possible my memory is off, because it was quite some time ago.
Cravdraa 1 year ago
@Cravdraa I don't know if anyone answered you yet. But perhaps what you saw wasn't Locke's Desperation Attack, but his alternate attack with the Tomahawk and/or Sniper (names used in the original US release), where sometime he would throw the weapon at the opponent for massive damage!

Best thing ever was I had genji glove and offering on Setzer and he busted out red card, I lost track of the number of times he attacked. Think it was 12, old SNES system. I was like "WTH is a Red Car-OMG!"

@rns13 Probably not, but then, I've never tried it.
odinfromcentr2 1 year ago
Aero hits potentially your whole party and always drops the char's life down to critical range. Then u just fly to where the monsters are really weak. You can get life down however you like, I just like this cuz this is when u firstRly have control over (almost) all of ur party & can go newhere.
Also note there's in 1 in 16 chance of doing a desperation attack, but as I mentioned before first battle time has to exceed 25.6 seconds. This info is at gamefaqs Algorithm Guide under the SNES version.
regresseur 1 year ago
READ THE FOLLOWING if you want to know how to do these: There is a battle timer coded into the game and any time in the first 25.6 seconds of battle a desperation attack cannot be performed -- so if you're killing the monsters really fast then that's probably why you can never get these to work no matter how many times you try. In the World of Balance one reliable way to set up for this is to let the red flying monsters around Vector cast Aero on you, then go to forest outside Narshe to do them.

Awesome, I played so many battles near death because I wanted to see these attacks, but never got all of them. And I remember the first time one happened, Shadow's desperation attack, I just about shat myself because I did NOT know that was possible.

no. Neither does Gau doe to a lack of the fight command. Gogo can be set up with that command, that's why he has one.
anyone noticed that Mog's desperation looks IDENTICAL to raging fist?

No. He cannot attack normally.

The Desperation attacks, I remember them, at the beginning of the game there awesome, but later in the game they become really crappy since the battle damage caps at 9999, this makes the desperation attacks incredibly useless late in game, when alot of attacks late in game does 9999 and its multiple hits too.
JackHoundENT 2 years ago
It may be true if you're one of those players who opted to cap out the level before you're even halfway through the storyline. For those of us who didn't, these Desperation Moves were often a life saver in dire situations.

I remember these, and I remembered fighting against the drill boss in Locke's scenario he did his limit, and did about 5000 damage (at a mere lv13!)

@ReiKusanagi This is one of the reasons I wish the old Final Fantasy games didn't have a damage limit of 9,999. Imagine the insane amounts of damage a guy could do if that limit had been lifted. But more importantly, would they have been able to?

@Smarty4789 don't count on it... Sometimes when you're on yellow health and you choose attack, there's a 5% chance of it being a desperation attack. I think they should be more powerful though, more like in FFVIII...

Gau has rage instead which is a worthy trade off and Umaro you cant really control so more you can pick between him throwing people and his cold breath....You could imagine their Desperation attacks though. Besides I doubt very many things will live through a couple of cat scratch rages. >.>

gellingreg 2 years ago
Gau and Umaro don't have desperation attacks because they don't have an "Attack" command, which is necessary in order to activate it. Gogo, for example, can't use his unless you equip the "Attack" command to his menu. Since his attacks suck, there's really not much of a reason to do this.

then you're missing a lot.
FF6 is way better then most of the 3D FF series. its storyline is one of the best RPG storyline thats why people love it despite its 2D graphics.
aside from that, RPG games were at its peak when they still had 2D graphics. some of the best RPG games were made during those times --> Final fantasy 6, Chrono trigger, Secret of mana 2, Pokemon

Do yourself a favor: if you're talking about the Advance version, burn the cartridge (literally, with fire) and play the SNES one even if you have to emulate it.
The script is so gimped in the Advance one.

no, i bought the cartridge on ebay than got an emulator cause i couldnt be bothered to find a snes. i see, so the advance should be burned?

Oh, that's a relief :D Yeah, I seriously think FF6A (Advance) is an abomination and should be burned. The script is rewritten to be more "accurate" to the emo, angsty, depressing, melodramatic, takes-itself-way-too-seriously Japanese version. The original SNES one was more loosely translated to appeal to Western audiences, which I think it does because we're not nihilistic weeaboos perpetually living in our teenage years :)
In other words the script in Advance really changes the characters.
rpgsuperfan 2 years ago
i see, but what if someone made a fan copy of ff6 with all the extra stuff from that advance and put it on the snes? oh yeah and fun fact, originally kaiser dragon WAS on the snes, it was called czar dragon, but, and you were supposed to be attacked by him right after you beat the last dragon, but he was removed from the game, but not from the database,
megabobu 2 years ago
Dude... no offense or anything, but you think I didn't know that?
I knew about Czar Dragon and played a hack with it added into the game years before Advance was even announced.

Ya I agree, the original SNES translation is way better than the Advance translation.
I think what they should just do is make the actual dialogue the same as the SNES version, but the attacks, enemy names, etc, etc. should be re translated to fit the Japanese names, so it would be more consistent with other FFs
Just my opinion.
