  • Achievements for FFVI: BA Edition

    solidification is a prolific creator of fan-made achievements across different game genres and especially in the world of Final Fantasy mods. You can follow solidification’s set-making journey here.

    Achievements for Final Fantasy VI: BA Edition have been released courtesy of solidification. Click on the box art to access the achievements.

    Writes solidification:

    You ever ask yourself, “Hey, we have a Japanese-only FF4 set for WSC.  Why not something similar for FF6?”  No?  Well, now you don’t have to!

    SPX stands for I have no idea, but it introduces some new bosses and apparently changes up the dialog considerably.  There are some balance tweaks, and overall it’s a harder experience.  Everyone is weaker except Stragus’s Blue magic, which is significantly stronger.

    But it has nothing on BA Edition, or “Balance Adjustments.”  Short of making a pure kaizo game, this is probably the hardest FF6 hack out there.  Almost every boss in the end-game has some gimmick, and, wow, are there hordes of new bosses.  And Mogu’s Dances now function similarly to Final Fantasy V’s !Terrain from Geomancers.

    In both versions, there are no Esper level up bonuses, and a few spells have been modified, removed, or added.  Good luck!
