  Am I here at the birth of an amazing channel? This channel is polished, it feels like it&apos;s bigger than it is already (and I think the algorithm likes you now).<br><br>I am gonna keep a tab on this for science: June 22, 2026 -- 276 subscribers

  When I was kid, I fluked into using Sketch on Hidon. My system went nuts. When I loaded my game, I had dozens of Paladin Shields, Offerings, and Atma Weapons, among other wackiness.<br><br>10-year-old me went nuts with an army of unstoppable juggernaut squad.

  Using a tent without a save point, anytime and anywhere, while in a dungeon. <br><br>In a dungeon where you must split up your characters into two or more groups, having a party use a tent on a save point heals that party but not the others. But if you switch to the other party they can also use a tent without being on a save point. So long as one party is on a save point, the other parties can use a tent anytime and anywhere. Very useful trick, especially while in Kefka&apos;s Tower.

  Setzer’s whole gimmick with his dice basically boils down to one question: You feeling lucky punk?

  Out of the entire franchise, my favorite &quot;broken&quot; battle is that in FFX, Lady Yunalesca is not immune to Zombie, so you can basically make her defeat herself &nbsp;as she constantly self-heals,

  I always break the story every playthrough and it makes me laugh: Learning Vanish and Doom on Terra before World of Ruin; when you want her back, she fights Phunbaba and is supposed to lose, then you join her to kill it. I vanish doom him .... then Terra just falls on ground and complain she&apos;s useless ...... but girl, you just shotted that boss xD

  If you decrease Locke&apos;s hp to around 7k, you&apos;ll still maximize the Atma Weapon and also boost the Valiant Knife to almost max damage. <br><br>Sabin suplexing the train is the most broken thing this game had to offer though 😂

  My favorite glitch I&apos;ve seen used is the speedrun glitch where Relm&apos;s sketch command warps the party from Triangle Island in the World of Balance to the World of Ruin, complete with airship

  Something I heard but never tried: supposedly if you have Edgar learn no other spell than Quick, sell all his Tools, give him the Offering/Genji Glove and turn him loose in the Coliseum. <br><br>You can also use the Coliseum to farm Economizers. Take Gogo and equip him with the Aegis Shield, Safety Bit, Thief&apos;s Glove, and change all the commands to Steal. Bet the Murakumo and they&apos;ll fight an enemy that they can steal an Economizer from. When you win, you get a Holy Lance. Bet the Holy Lance and win that fight to get a Murakumo. Repeat until you have all the Economizers you want.

  I like the Final Fantasy 6 advance bug that lets you reset your level while keeping your bonus esper stats. short version - you save your game, then do a few specific actions to start a new game via the quick save stuff, start a new game, play without saving or touching a save point until you unlock your character, then game over<br>Game resets back to your last save, in the main file, but &quot;keeps your game progress&quot;, importing your level 3-15-whatever character with all the bonus esper stats of the main file. then you can get another 50+ levels worth of stats... like speed, or strength

  Cyan can do a sort of combination of Locke&apos;s Genji Glove + Offering and the Gem Box + Econimizer + Quick thing.<br><br>If you equip him with an Econimizer and give him Quick, he can cast it on himself for 1MP and then use Quadra Slice twice during his free turns. Quadra Slice ignores enemy defense and, IIRC, can&apos;t miss, so he gets to hit 8 times while the normal drawback of Swordtech is mitigated entirely by Quick freezing time for everybody but the caster.<br><br>This setup allows Cyan to hit just as hard (if not harder) than the Locke setup, does not require giving up the defenses of a shield, only takes up one relic slot, and leaves the Genji Glove, Offering, and Gem Box free for other characters to use.

  I don&apos;t think it was an accident. Back then a lot of games gave you the option to pick your difficulty by either just following the main quest strictly, and having a difficult time, or exploring every inch, while getting extra levels and smashing everything. Made the games more replayable since we didn&apos;t have achievements, and we couldn&apos;t just hop online and get a walkthrough. &nbsp;It was always fun finding the hidden stuff that made you insanely powerful.
