|---------------------------- 2.) Introduction ------------------------------|
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A plain Heart Piece FAQ for this awesome new Zelda game for the GBA. As
always, you'll start off with 3 heart containers, but if you collect all
Pieces of Heart, you'll end up with 20! That's nice! But with a total of 6
dungeons there are just 9 Heart Containers in total that belong to the
storyline, so it's up to you to seek out these remaining 44 Pieces of Heart.
You'll even get one full heart container if you look carefully.
Also, I included this : [ ], so that you can check off the piece of heart
that you found. Well: good luck!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

<---------------->
| a. Hyrule Town |
<---------------->

#1. [ ]
Go to the house to the right of the shop (the shop with the rupee on its
roof). Flip the jar over and shrink. Exit the house via the small gate. Then
walk north towards the stairs and climb up the vine there. Walk to the
backside of the hotel and enter (by the small flowers). Inside you'll find a
Piece of Heart.

#2 [ ]
When you can play the game inside the house with the purple ghost (after the
3rd dungeon, I believe), go there and play the game. Kill all the monsters
you have to fight to win a Piece of Heart.

Complete the chicken mini-game to get a Piece of Heart. The mini-game
consists of something like 10 rounds!

#4 [ ]
Jump through the bell in the middle of town to knock out a Piece of Heart.

Shrink in the house with all the builders and walk towards the north through
a couple of houses. Walk through the path with the 2 cats to reach the small
fountain. Walk across the ledge and enter the hole. Walk a bit to the north
and over the bridge. Jump with the Roc's Cape to reach the Piece of Heart.

#6 [ ]
When you can become with 4 Links, enter the school and shrink there. North of
field the kids played on, is a small path for Minish Link. Enter it, and all
the way to the end is a piece of heart.

Get all 130 Figurines (Thanks to John Chrapkowski for this number). Then go to
a person standing near the training house and the cafe, and he'll open up a
house with all stuff lying around, including a Heart Piece.

the two switches at the same time, and then head up and collect the heart
piece.

|-------------------- 4.) The Special Heart Container -----------------------|
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

#SHC [ ]
This is the special full heart container that you get from a Minish in Lake
Hylia. Listen up: You must go to the very far northeastern corner of Minish
Village, say, go to the location of Heart Piece #9. Now, jump in the water
and swim towards the house and enter it. Now fuse with the Minish there. Exit
the house, and enter again and fuse another time. This time, he'll make a
hole in the ground very near to the Wind Crest in Lake Hylia.
Now, exit Minish Village and become big again and warp towards Lake Hylia.
Shrink using the stump and enter the hole in the ground that you just made.
By jumping the rolling pillars, make your way to the other side of the cave
and head up the ladder. Head inside the house and talk to the Minish there to
get a full Heart Container!

Final Fantasy VI Complete Endings Guide
Based on the Playstation Anthology Version
By: Agent0042
Agent0042@mail2fanatic.com or PM me
at Final Fantasy Shrine http://forums.ffshrine.org

Here are some things to note before you start reading:

- WARNING. THIS GUIDE REVEALS THE ENTIRE FINAL FANTASY VI ENDING, INCLUDING ALL
ALTERNATE ENDINGS AND THE PLAYSTATION ANTHOLOGY BONUS FMV. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
THEM YET AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW WITHOUT SEEING FOR YOURSELF, DON'T READ ANY
FURTHER.

- I've followed the game's format of putting the characters' names in all
capital letters.

- As a character's portion of the ending plays, a version of their theme song
plays. Depending on which one is playing, this may sound very similar to their
original theme, or be only barely recognizable.

- There are a couple of lines in the ending that aren't attached to any one
particular character, so there won't be a name at the start of those.

- There are some characters that don't have their own ending because their
ending is tied directly to another character. These are EDGAR and SABIN, CELES
and LOCKE. RELM's ending involves STRAGO, but he still gets his own ending as
well.

- If you haven't found a character by the end of the game, then their portion
of the ending theme will still play, however, their scene will simply be an
image of their portrait floating over whatever can best be considered their
hometown, i.e. Strago and Thamasa. If a character never even joined your party,
then their portion of the ending theme will stay play with the floating head,
however, their name will be displayed as ?????? AS Character Name. If you are
missing a character that is directly tied to another characters' ending, then a
different version of that particular ending will play. The only characters you
absolutely must have by the end of the game are CELES, EDGAR, SETZER and TERRA.
It is possible to beat Kefka's Tower with only CELES, EDGAR and SETZER and
TERRA joins automatically after the final battle. Necessarily, many of the
ending scenes heavily involve CELES, EDGAR and SETZER. For some reason, TERRA
is only her own ending scene, even though you have to have her.

And now, without further ado:

~~~~~ Final Fantasy VI Complete Endings Script ~~~~~~

It's breaking up! There's no time to lose! Airship's just ahead!

CELES: Come on, everybody! We have to work together!
CELES: TERRA! What's wrong?

(Several magicite appear, float up and disappear into puffs of green smoke.)

The Magicite... Magic is disappearing from this world...
EDGAR: The Espers... They no longer exist...
CELES: You mean TERRA too?
TERRA: Come with me. I can lead you out with my last ounce of strength.

through a situation.

I have these stupid muscles!

(GOGO complies by mimicking CELES's motions. However, as CELES leaves for the
exit, GOGO mimics this too and falls down a hole.)

(GAU's "shiny thing," the underwater breathing helmet, appears on screen. Some
eyeballs peep out of it and it makes a funny face at us.)

the better.
CELES: LOCKE, promise me some day you'll look after me again.

(Two linked wineglasses appear on the conveyor belt.)

TERRA
AS

TERRA: Father... ...?

(RELM and STRAGO are making their way down a conveyor belt.)

RELM: Grandpa! Stop goofing around!!
STRAGO: Sorry, dear...
RELM: If I hear even a peep out of you, I'm gonna draw your portrait!!

(The book flips to the center.)

AND YOU

TERRA: Come with me.

(TERRA, in Esper form, starts flying. The airship follows, as the last of the
Magicite disappears.)

EDGAR: The last piece of magicite!
CELES: TERRA! It's okay! Your power! It's fading...
CELES: TERRA, your strength is going!

(TERRA falls away. But the kids at the orphanage see her as a bright purple
star and rush into the shack where Katarin is having her baby.)

Do it right... Katarin!
Gotta hang in there...

(White screen, then the airship comes into view, everyone sprawled on the
deck...)

... for a while longer ...
Just a little longer...
Where's TERRA?
CELES: TERRA!
TERRA: Thank you, SETZER!
SETZER: Didn't I say it before?! This is the world's fastest ship!

(Credits roll! Notable names include producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, director
Yoshinori Kitase, main programmer Ken Norita, music programmer Nobuo Uemastu
[heart], battle programmer Akihiro Yamaguchi and monster graphic designer
Hitoshi Sasaski. If you're playing the anthology version, then you also get
FFVI Remake credits and a somewhat extended version of the kick-ass credits
theme plays.)

(Katarin has given birth to her new child. One of the kids of the orphanage
comes in and they all go outside. TERRA waves to them. We see scenes of towns
being fixed up. The different characters take turns looking at the view. The
seeds that were planted are growing. All's well at the Figaro Castle. TERRA
lets the wind whip in her hair as some birds fly by. They fly over mountains
and streams. They fly with the airship and finally we get one more really nice
shot of the airship.)

THE END

Bonus ending (Playstation Anthology):

MOG appears.

MOG: Save your current play data to the System File?
* Yes
- No
- What's the System File?

An FMV sequence begins and text appears on the screen in white, cursive letters.

- What do you think you've found here in this dying world?

Celes begins singing the opera song. She gets dressed in a bridal gown and
raises a bouquet of roses. Edgar can be seen as Celes raises the roses to a
sky. It's a reenactment of the opera scene. Sabin has the two-headed coin. As
he flips the coin, Celes releases the roses to the wind. The two intersect.
It's snowing now and Celes is standing outside. Kefka appears and the scene
switches to the Phantom Train. The airship flies overhead and back in the
Phantom Train, Shadow attacks the ghosts. The scene switches between Imperial
forces and Shadow rushing the ghosts. Celes heads down the aisle. Now, the
scene changes to outside in the snowy atmosphere of Narshe and more Imperial
forces, shooting at things. Just then, Setzer appears in the airship, gunning
them down! Locke can be seen and the camera changes to Celes. The opera song
ends and the music becomes intense. The Imperial forces attack again and this
time, Setzer whips out his Cards and uses them to shoot down the forces. The
scene changes to a battlefield, with destruction everywhere. There's a shot of
the winged Kefka. A big machine opens up and shoots him. On an island in the
middle of nowhere, there's a huge explosion. The music comes to an end and a
new piece starts up.

- Why do you build, knowing destruction is inevitable?
- Why do you yearn live [sic], knowing all things much die?

CELES can now be seen holding a bandana, her "lucky charm." She's standing in
front of a lake and there's a bright sunset.

- THE END - (Prelude plays)

FAQ and Speculations (Stuff That I've seen asked about the ending, and some
random thoughts)

Q: Is it true there are different SHADOW endings?
A: There's a lot of stuff floating around the Internet that SHADOW's ending
changes depending on how many of his dreams you saw by resting with him in your
party at an Inn. Allow me to lie this to rest forever. I have tested this
thoroughly. There are *no* alternate SHADOW endings. His ending will always be
the same, regardless of whether you saw all of his dreams, or not a single one.

Q: I wanna see the alternate versions of the CELES, RELM and EDGAR endings for
myself. How do I go about doing that?
A: I recommend that as soon as the game allows it, you start working on
building up CELES, EDGAR and SETZER. CELES and RELMS' alternates are easy ---
just don't get LOCKE and STRAGO back once you're in the World of Ruin. SABIN's
is a bit more difficult because it means you have to make do without his help
during the initial part of the World of Ruin, but it shouldn't be too hard if
you focus on developing CELES, SETZER and EDGAR and have good equipment. Not
getting LOCKE in your party also means not getting Phoenix, which means that
you won't have Life3 from that, but if you really want it during the Kefka
battle, you could use GAU's Rhinox rage. Alternatively, try this site here if
you'd like to see pictures: http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/snes/a/ff3.htm

Speculation:

- CELES' lucky charm is apparently LOCKE's bandana. Her ending without LOCKE is
a very interesting sequence that most FFVI players, even avid ones, have
probably never seen. Hope you enjoyed reading it!

- What happened to GOGO? Well, it turns out that GOGO can be seen on the
airship in the ending after all. It's extremely brief, but if you visit
www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZi2rNwStvk and navigate to 8:02, you can see him,
along with UMARO.

- Did SHADOW commit suicide? What happened to him? He wasn't on the airship
either.

- Since the FMV ending is the same regardless of who you had in your party at
the end, does that mean that all of the characters reunited even if you didn't
find them? Okay, so I know this is a bit cheesy on my part --- obviously they
couldn't design multiple FMVs too.

Well, that's all. I've checked over this guide thoroughly, but sometimes even
my watchful eye misses things. If you find something I missed or was mistaken
about, just dash an e-mail to Agent0042@mail2fanatic.com, or look me up at
Final Fantasy Shrine.
Thanks to Rey of Video Game Museum (http://www.vgmuseum.com) for fixing me up
on a small mistake and adding info about how to view pictures of the endings.
Thanks also to BlueBlazeSmurf for informing me that GOGO isn't dead and that
the evidence is there to see.
