FFVI HELPLINE (possible spoilers inside)

[psychosyd]

Yeah, I think I read it in Bradygames version of the strategy guide back when I was like in 6th grade... and I memorized it roughly, it may just be a roumer, but I prefer Sabin anyways, and always go first with him... and he stayed with me till the falls every time

but in a coincidence... to test the theory, I did do the other quests in different orders, and I do remember him leaving me before the phantom forest at least once... something like "ive had enough, im out" or along those lines

I'll try to do this without spoilers.

Well, let's see. I'm not sure how far you are, but if you've gotten off of the Solitary island, head to Albrook, if you want, get some stuff. Make sure you have a Jewel Ring. I believe you can also get those in Tzen, your next destination. You'll go there, soon as you enter, you're needed, so follow everyone, you'll find Sabin. After you're done your little quest, the two of you will leave. Now, you can either go to Nikeah, or Mobliz. Nikeah's north, Mobliz is east. Mobliz, you'll find Terra, but you can't do anything just yet. So go to Nikeah. Find the thieves, talk to "Gerad" (hmmm...) and eventually, you're off to South Figaro. Find them again, and go to that cave nearby. Then you'll go to Figaro Castle, do some stuff, and get Edgar. Now you travel through the sand to Kohlingen, find Setzer there, and you proceed to get a new airship. After that, you can either go to Kefka's Tower, or find the rest of the party.

If you already did that, oh well, it'll help the others.

Follow the bird to Maranda. You hear about a knight that passed through town. Talk to Lola. Follow the bird again. Go to Zozo, get the rust rid, head to Mt. Zozo, and kill those bastard bears quickly. Do NOT step on the switch, or you'll get pwned, unless your levels are high enough. At the end, you'll find Cyan, who also tells you where Gau is, on the Veldt. So, head to the Veldt, get Gau. Since you're so nearby, why not get Shadow/Relm. If you didn't wait for Shadow, he's dead, and he ain't coming back. Pass through the Cave in the Veldt, and at the end, you'll find one of them. Beat the boss, and you're in Thamasa. They won't join you just yet. You should have the Striker, which is essential in getting Shadow. What now? I suppose you could go back to Mobliz and get Terra, or perhaps go to the mines in Narshe and get Mog, where all the moogles were before. Also get the Moogle Charm, which is behind where he was standing. He tells you about Umaro, who's somewhere in the Narshe area. I guess it's your choice, you can either get Shadow at the Coliseum by betting the Striker, and then go to Owzer's house to get Relm. Not without an interesting boss fight though. Once you have Relm, put her in your party and go to the Fanatic's Tower. You'll have Strago. Shit, I don't know who's left...

Ah yes. Gogo, on the Triangle Island. Get eaten by the Zone Eater.

After all that is done, you go to the Phoenix Cave, which you find out about somewhere along the way. There, you find Locke. I prefer to get all the other characters first so I have more diversity, seeing as though having 8 is preferable.

I think that covered everyone.

...well damn. You just saved me all that trouble. I was just thinking the same thing.

And yes, you got all the characters in all the right places with minimal spoilers. Nicely done, and thanks for getting here a bit before me.
