Final Fantasy III / VI - Psycho Cyan

The "Psycho Cyan" glitch from FF3/6j. Cyan loses his mind and dismantles a Brachosaur.

Explanation of the glitch:
In a battle, have Cyan use Retort, then cast Imp on him. Then use an attack that kills him without triggering Retort, such as magic, or killing him in one hit. Now, revive Cyan. Upon the next turn, Cyan will counterattack any move that is made, even his own, and he will continue to counter his own attack. In other words, Cyan will attack the enemies over and over again, uninterrupted, until they are all dead. This trick works on all enemies, including bosses. Once the glitch is triggered, there is no stopping Cyan until the battle is won.

This glitch works with all SNES versions of the game. To the best of my knowledge, it has been fixed in FFVI Advance, and does not work in that version.

how about for the PS version... you know... the one no one EVER talks about... anthology?!

[LucidFaia]

You mean the bad version? >_>

[malwambi]

@LucidFaia Why is the PS version considered the "bad version"? I thought it was identical to the SNES version.

@malwambi

The sound is messed up and there are bad loading times for the simplest of things, such as opening the menu or entering a battle.

@ariwl1 Haha same, I guess some ppl just sit and play it and get bored and try different things. Or they just find them by random chance.

@KyvannShrike Thought the exact same thing here...

[ariwl1]

How do people find these things? I can play this game every day for the rest of my life and never find this.

@Fyntax10

Sorry but the sounds were fine for me, didn't differ from the SNES at all (Apart from battle transitions) then again we had just FF6 on the CD in the UK.

[Fyntax10]

@MindstormXL buy a snes, they are like 50$, if you played the PS1 version you had messed up sounds. It was the worst port of a game I have seen.

[KyvannShrike]

That you actually got the economizer drop while recording this glitch really infuriates me.

Lucky bastard...
