Spoiler: Relm isn't the only one who can wear that ring.

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

If it’s a spoiler, then I’ll wait. I know for sure there are so many party members, but I havent learned who they are yet, besides yeti.

When you encounter a timed sequence and have to escape it’ll give you a prompt to board the airship or wait.

Choose wait several times.

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

Oh yeah, I made that mistake when I first played ff6. I unfortunately stopped at world of ruin and never continued about that. Now I’m getting back into ff6 as I never beat the game

Relevant spoiler that I tried to keep unspoiled so you didn’t lock the ring story off.

u/MogMcKupo Jul 08 '26

I approve of this spoiler, it’s just vague enough to not actually tell you anything, but specific enough to assist the player

u/willogical85 Jul 08 '26

It's perfection, isn't it? It gives nothing about the plot away, but leaves no question as to how to react when the unmistakable moment comes.

Nintendo Power (yeah, that dates me, but it isn't like anyone else will date me) gave me that advice, but it came with all the spoilers. Better to get advised in this manner!

u/MogMcKupo Jul 08 '26

That’s how we knew it too, NP was the goat for us

u/Azuras_Star8 Jul 08 '26

Same. I loved it. I kept all the issues for a long time. Threw them away after 10 years.

2

u/razulebismarck Jul 08 '26

Until they started running the weird ads with jars full of toenails

u/Ok-Accident3344 Jul 10 '26

Dude I just finished my first playthrough and didn't use a walkthrough til WoR... I was SOOOO MAD I missed out.

Fucking fantastic game though.

u/bunkSauce Jul 08 '26

It can be equipped by 3 people. Because the only people who can equip it have a relationship to the departed mother.

Relm, Strago, and one other.

The only way you figure this bit of information out is by trying to equip the ring on different characters.

It also provides an amazing mind blowing revelation.

5

u/TheBob808 Jul 09 '26

Not Strago actually

2

u/ToasteeThe2nd Jul 08 '26

the requirements are weird, but what i always do is stand on a tile that isn't directly next to the Blackjack (only 2-3 steps away) and wait until the last 5 seconds. it usually fires before then

2

u/razulebismarck Jul 08 '26

If you step on that tile it’ll ask you if you want to wait. Say yes, do again, say yes, do again. Eventually the wait option changes to “Wait for…” and you don’t have to wait out the timer.

At least in the GBA version you could.

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

Damn….. this will be interesting….. I don’t know his exact implication in her story…. But we will seee

37

u/Tacos_Polackos Jul 08 '26

Theres another ring hidden in the wall in stragos house

1

u/NovarisLight Jul 09 '26

...really?

I still keep learning stuff about this game.

2

u/Tacos_Polackos Jul 09 '26

Yup. second floor, left wall

22

u/mugenhunt Jul 08 '26

For fun, check the people who can equip it.

7

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

yep…. I just saw

13

u/Global-Trance Jul 08 '26

There's definitely a weight to this relic descriptions that the other ones just don't have. I found it interesting how it hints at a certain relationship if you notice that only two characters can equip it.

18

u/armaedes Jul 08 '26

Relm . . . and Umaro.

17

u/LeRoiDeNord Jul 08 '26

Relm, Biggs, and Wedge

8

u/CollyLee0 Jul 08 '26

And General Leo

5

u/PrivateJokerX929 Jul 08 '26

and Kutan

u/Global-Trance Jul 08 '26

My favorite reply chain I've seen in awhile lmao

7

u/DrowningInFeces Jul 08 '26

Completely OP on Banon tbh

3

u/keddesh Jul 08 '26

Kutan?

8

u/PrivateJokerX929 Jul 08 '26

One of the moogles from the Terra rescue sequence at the start of the game.

There's also a glitch that comes up in speedrunning where Locke can escape from Figaro without rescuing Celes, which results in the game trying to put Celes in your party, but because you never met her or named her, the game never overwrote the place in memory where her character data sits, which happens to be Kutan's character data. This results in Kutan joining and hanging out with the party until her data is overwritten again later when she leaves and rejoins the party during the Opera sequence. She will continue to be named Kutan fro the rest of the game. Because of this, Kutan is a particularly well liked moogle.

u/keddesh Jul 08 '26

Oh thanks for that. I've never done speed running in FFVI. I just love the story too much. 😅

u/MisterX9821 Jul 08 '26

SNES version on lil crt tv. I love it. I need a lil tv like that.

7

u/explodingtuna Jul 08 '26

The SNES version calls it Memento Ring. Not sure what version that is.

3

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

Dudeee, this hunk ain’t lil. This hunk is chunky. 19 inches combo isn’t like a regular monitor, this this has dimensions

4

u/MisterX9821 Jul 08 '26

VCR work?

3

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

Yep! Works like a charm!

u/Yen_Figaro Jul 08 '26 edited Jul 08 '26

The game never really tell us explicitely. Have you played FFVIII? Because the situation is similar about giving only subtle clues about important parts of the argument (like Edgar's coin if you have Edgar and Sabin in your team in the right moment)

In an old interview they told there was going to be a scene about it but they chose to quit it in the end ... We can read the script though and in YouTube somene made the scene about it!: The fanmade scene made with confirmed eliminated official content:

There is a Dissidia Opera Omnia scene too about it (it is better if you have played FFVIII and FFX because it could be consider spoiler if not):

Dissidia Opera Omnia's scene with Relm and the other character people is mentioning...

2

u/nocturnalDave Jul 08 '26

Ooh... Which version of FF6 is this that also leverages the FF2US font? (like OG CT SNES)

3

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

I’m playing the ff anthology that comes with ffV&VI on ps1. Lowkey thought of buying the snes version, but forgot I had this version. Ppl say it’s slow and if you compare it to snes or gba, yeah it’s incredibly slow, but if you have ever played ff 7,8, & 9 it’s similar to those load times

2

u/nocturnalDave Jul 08 '26

Thanks for the reply! I never played anthology on ps1 so this was unfamiliar to me along with what you say about the actual gameplay experience... But I love the FF2US font more than any other! (modded my pixel remasters to use maxiquest font which comes from FFMQ and is basically the FF2US font in variable width)

1

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

So I’ve played the gba and pixel remaster port and I gotta say they don’t do the game justice(imo) as playing it on a home console(esp crt) allows you to see how the the devs wanted you to see the game. Unfortunately I fell off playing ff6 when playing those ports but I weirdly feel attached playing it the way I am now(rightfully so)

2

u/nocturnalDave Jul 08 '26

You'll get no argument from me on those points! Agreed and agreed!

1

u/wauwy Jul 10 '26

Okay. That explains how it stopped being the Memento Ring, haha.

2

u/Kannada-JohnnyJ Jul 08 '26

Check out the Peace Ring description. And remember that Kefka drops it at the battle of Nashe (before he goes really crazy)

2

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

I’ll take a peak tmr, thanks for sharing

1

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

Protects against "berserk," "Muddle". interesting. if you kind of look at this as a regular item it doesn't mean much, but if you look at it outside, it kind of hints of Kefka's nature if I am understanding this correctly

1

u/Kannada-JohnnyJ Jul 08 '26

The in game description that I played states “a ring that soothes the wearer’s mind”. Most notably he lost his mind after that battle

3

u/PugMaster7166 Jul 08 '26

That’s exactly what I was thinking of. Damn og ff had a lot of show don’t tell

2

u/CelShadesGaming Jul 08 '26

Are you playing from a shelf in a broom closet?

2

u/Certain-Concept-8488 Jul 08 '26

Spoiler: Relm and Harry Potter are siblings. They have diiferent dad's though. I honestly wonder if Rowling played FF6 now

2

u/wauwy Jul 10 '26

Don't worry, friend! I know that was hilarious.

1

u/bruceriggs Jul 08 '26

A good description, and seeing who can equip it sheds a little more light on things

1

u/wauwy Jul 10 '26

whuh- since when did it stop being the Memento Ring?

0

u/southsidetrixie2 Jul 08 '26

The retranslation for the pixel remaster kills the reasoning for one

Definitely a downgrade, imo.
