Final Fantasy VI（Super Famicom）

Lists acquisition conditions, summon MP and growth bonuses for the SFC version's 27 magicite names, 92 learning combinations, and MP costs for 54 spells. Keep GBA-exclusive magicite and Pixel Remaster changes separate.
Scope: Japanese Super Famicom release (April 2, 1994) / GBA additions and Pixel Remaster changes noted separately / Content checked: October 2, 2026
Distinguish the 3 aspects: equipping, learning spells and stat growth
- After obtaining your first magicite in Zozo, choose it through Abilities → Espers and press A twice to equip it. One magicite cannot be equipped by multiple people simultaneously.
- After battle, each spell's multiplier is applied to the magic learning points, and the spell becomes usable at 100%. For example, 2 learning points at ×5 add 10% in one battle.
- A spell at 100% remains usable after removing its magicite. Change magicite when you want to learn other spells.
- Check growth bonuses just before leveling up too. Spell-learning multipliers and level-up increases to Strength, Magic and other stats are separate effects.
- Choose esper summoning from the battle's Magic list. Check that you have enough summon MP and plan for each magicite to be summoned once per battle.
- Phoenix's growth bonus is "none." Do not include it in a growth plan as Magic +3.

| Prepare to prevent a party wipe | Reraise | Phoenix ×1 |
| Avoid ground-based attacks | Float | Cait Sith ×2 / Quetzalli ×5 |
| Prepare for magic damage | Shell | Zona Seeker ×5, for example |
| Act faster | Haste / Hastega | Carbuncle / Quetzalli |
| Learn the higher attack spells | Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga | Valigarmanda, each ×1 |
- More Reraise users let you share preparations for the Cultists' Tower's conclusion and final consecutive battles.
Treat GBA additions and Pixel Remaster changes separately
| Edition | Feature | Distinction from the original |
|---|---|---|
| GBA / old mobile version | Leviathan, Cactuar, Gilgamesh, Diabolos | 4 additions. No acquisition locations in the original SFC version. |
| GBA / old mobile version | Dragons' Den and Soul Shrine | Added dungeons. Defeating the SFC version's eight dragons rewards Jihad. |
| PR | Jihad's name | Changed to Doomsday. |
| PR | Adjustments such as magicite bonuses | Do not plan growth on the same assumptions as the SFC bonus table. |
