Final Fantasy VI - Enjoyable Music Glitch!

You'll have to listen for yourself. Go just east of Baren Falls and land the airship on the narrow coastal strip. For some reason this glitch doesn't always work. But when it does, the monster battles are exactly like those on the Veldt.

I turned off "Background 1" in SNES9x during battle to remove the upper window, allowing you to see the pastoral background in all its glorious 16-bit beauty.

I am truly amazed that this glitch hasn't gotten more attention in the FAQs and walkthroughs. Googling didn't give me any pages dealing with it. But given the incredible FF6 music, this glitch is just too good to be ignored. I beg you, pass it on and share it with the world!!!!

I like this glitch! The regular battle music isn't as cool. Thank God the boss battle music makes up for it.

Standard battle theme is one of the weaker ones, not nearly as good as in FF4, 5, 7 or 9.

@danyetman That area around Narshe that you discovered has the same Veldt EI, but contains only the enemy data for that specific area, ie, EI #10. The random number generator therefore cycles about a 32/256 chance of entering combat with the "Veldt Combat" value enabled, so the music transitions in and overrides the standard battle music.

[danyetman]

The reason this happens is because the map data for those areas 'swaps' or 'refreshes' incorrectly due to a numeric terrain-type variable within FFVI. In the World of Balance, the area around Narshe's Encounter Index (EI) is 10. The Veldt has a unique manner of managing Encounters, however, due to the fact that you can fight monsters from all over in it - it uses a random-number generator to choose an EI, which also effects how the music transitions into the combat setting. 1/2

@ComradeSephiroth in my opinion, the final fantasy i battle theme is the best. but i also think that final fantasy vi's battle theme is way better than 7 or 9-although I have to admit that 4 and 5 are better.

u can do this on the veldt in the world of balance on the upper north part corner i believe that will have the same background and music playing. I cannot remember if the world of ruin has the same spot is still available.
