Final Fantasy 6 Brave New World

About this entry

Final Fantasy VI: Brave New World (BNW) is a highly regarded, comprehensive overhaul ROM hack for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy VI (originally released as Final Fantasy III in North America). Developed by Synchysi and BTB, it aims to rebalance the game and fix deep-seated mechanical issues without altering the story. It prevents characters from becoming identical by restricting Espers to specific characters based on archetypes. It also overhauls enemy AI, rebalances stats to make physical attacks viable, and fixes numerous bugs from the original release, such as the infamous evasion bug.
