Final Fantasy VI has one of the largest casts in the series. To maximize their utility, you must understand their special mechanics:
Your thief. Pro-tip: Equipping him with the Brigand's Glove turns his "Steal" command into "Mug", allowing him to deal damage and steal at the same time.
The most complex character. You must take him to the Veldt and use the "Leap" command to learn enemy "Rages". Some Rages, like the Stray Cat (for massive physical damage), are game-breaking. 💎 The Missables Codex (Critical Checklist)
