History Fridge / FinalFantasyVI

* In some versions of the game, Gestahl expresses a wish to see Celes and Kefka conceive children to populate his new empire. If Celes had taken him up up on his offer atop the Floating Continent, rejoined the empire, and borne Kefka's children, the children could have inherited insanity from their [[PsychoPrototype damaged father]]. Imagine a vast empire with powerful magic and technology at its disposal, being led by hopelessly insane mages. Players see how much damage''one'' insane mage causes; how much damage could an entire family of insane mages do?

* The three characters you take with you for the full "Gau meeting his father scene" are three characters who you select from during the escape to Narshe at the beginning of the game: Locke, Edgar, and Sabin.

* Setzer's scars seem random at first until you consider that he's a--a gambler and general high-risk guy, and b--an airship pilot. Between bar fights and crashes, it's no wonder! Although that one straight down the eye seems nasty.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', when you find Mog in the World of Ruin, he's just staring at a spot in the wall of the (now empty) moogle's den. If you search that spot, you find the Moogle's charm... in the SNES version. In the retranslated GBA version, the name given is "Molulu's Charm". Molulu was one of the Ten Moogles who fight to protect Terra way back in the Mines fight. Specifically, Molulu fought right next to Mog during the battle. And [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary materials]] reveal that Molulu was Mog's ''girlfriend'', and gave him the charm as a present. Mog is very likely the only Moogle spared from the apocalypse. He probably spent the entire year just [[HeroicBSOD forlornly staring at that charm]], because it's all that's left of Molulu, of his entire people. And... when Kefka asks the party what they could possibly have that gives them the strength to keep living... Mog's only answer is "New pals, Kupo!". Because all his old friends are... [[TearJerker Oh Mog!]] * sob* -- @/{{Enlong}}

* The Tunnel Armor boss seems like a GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere, a boss thrown into the end of Locke's scenario just to have a boss... the hint is in the game. "Tunnel Armor," which seems to be an underground digging machine, and is encountered shortly after the Empire conquered South Figaro and Figaro Castle burrowed away. Later in the game you find a tunnel dug from the Figaro cave into Figaro Castle, dug by sandworms. Tunnel Armor was ostensibly the Empire trying the same thing; digging through the Figaro cave to the castle. Then Locke escapes town with Celes, the Empire almost certainly finds out quickly, and the Tunnel Armor is given new orders to stop them from reaching Narshe.

* The jumping cliff from when [[spoiler: Celes tries to commit suicide]] is where a lot of people went to commit suicide, right under it is the beach where you find the magicite for Palidor, who's magic makes the entire party use ''jump''...

* FridgeBrilliance: During Sabin's scenario, no matter how things play out, Shadow insists on leaving the party before they reach the Veldt. The background of his third nightmare sequence shows [[spoiler: that is where he abandoned Billy/Baram, the source of all his suicide-inducing guilt]]. And when you find him in the World of Ruin, [[spoiler:he's laying injured in a cave on the Veldt.]]

**** But it does. The Empire didn't NEED the Slave Crown before it got it's hands on Terra. Prior to that, they could rely on more conventional control techniques like propaganda or outright brainwashing to control their soldiers. But Terra's Half-Esper nature made those techniques ineffective. So naturally, they came up with a new method. Why is there only ONE Slave Crown in the entire game? Because it's the First one.

* A bit of FridgeHorror that takes a while to click. Gau's father abandons him on the Veldt. He puts a new born baby in the place where every monster in the world migrates. Yes Gau's father was insane but that still doesn't make the action itself any less heinous.

* FridgeBrilliance: During Sabin's scenario, no matter how things play out, Shadow insists on leaving the party before they reach the Veldt. The background of his third nightmare sequence shows [[spoiler: that is where he abandoned Billy/Baram, the source of all his suicide-inducing guilt]].

* The characters' special abilities:
** Locke's Steal is proof that you can't upgrade things.
*** Or, if you equip him with a Relic, it turns into Capture... attack and steal. Yeah, it'll only get worse.
** Edgar's rich, so his weapons (well, five of them) can be bought in stores.
** Sabin's Blitz is supposed to be like a fighting game.
** Shadow uses Throw because, being a ninja, he has to be able to attack before someone else can attack him. Also because he's too much of a coward to take care of [[spoiler:his own daughter]].
** Celes [[spoiler:attempts suicide]], and Runic consists of doing something that would appear to hurt herself.
** Cyan requires waiting. Cyan is also the slowest character in the game.
*** Because the Way of the Samurai requires patience and devotion. And one thing known as Iaido. Which is what you do here: you focus on which technique you want to apply, some techniques requiring a longer preparation time for you are required to PLAN it.
** A wild man would have to be very intelligent and have a very good memory to avoid things like poisons, so Gau's attack requires a ''perfect'' memory.
** Setzer's a gambler. Nuff said. Since gambling throws away money, Coin Toss consists of, well, throwing away money.
** Terra's Morph: Wouldn't a [[EldritchAbomination mystical spirit]] be naked? Also, DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu?
** Mog's moves are because he's "lost in the music". And [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs X]] at a rave.
** Strago's ability is more magic because he's an old man.
*** He's also a man which faced so many monsters in life that he knows how they attack.
** Relm's Sketch is a parody of poor doujinshi drawn by tweens.
** Gogo is, as mentioned, a mirror of Kefka. No wonder he has the best techniques.
** Umaro, like Gau (for being wild) and Mog (because Mog controls him), is uncontrollable.
