Template:Images Graphical Bug is a series of bugs that is related to graphics. All these bugs are completely visual in nature and have no effect on gameplay.

Appearances

Final Fantasy V

FFV SNES Bartz Graphic Glitch

Double face Bartz.

On the Super Famicom version of Final Fantasy V, when a Blue Mage Bartz attacks an enemy physically with the Attack command, the Blue Mage's right hand attack animation is that of Bartz's face tile. This happens because there are two identical tiles with Bartz's Blue Mage face: one for the his face and the other for the right hand.

Final Fantasy VI

Vanish/Magitek Bug

FFVI Vanish-Magitek Bug

Locke after losing the Vanish status.

Vanish interferes with the Magitek armor graphic. If Vanish status is given to a character who is wearing the Magitek armor, the Vanish graphics of the character will make their legs and feet appear outside the armor. This bug will persist when Vanish is lost, but this only lasts so long as the person has Vanish status (or if removed, for the remainder of the current battle).

Death/Magitek Bug

FFVI Death-Magitek Bug

Half of Locke's soul being taking away.

If the player casts Death on a party member while wearing Magitek armor, the Grim Reaper will only take the character's upper body.

Get Hit Bug

FFVI Get Hit Bug

Locke facing the wrong way from 1000 Needles.

A very minor character sprite animation bug. Spells such as 1000 Needles and Magitek Laser that use the hit sprite of a character always have the sprite facing left. This bug becomes evident with Back, Pincer, and Side attacks where the player can have a character facing right, or in the case of formation error bugs. A right-facing character will turn around when they switch to the struck sprite, appearing to take the spell from behind.

Reflected Spell Bug

FFVI Reflected Spell Bug

Shadow facing the wrong way when hit by Haste.

This bug is similar to the previous one. If a beneficial spell such has Haste or Regen is reflected off an enemy, they will reverse the targeted receiver of that spell while the spell's effect is running. This was fixed in the GBA version of the game.

Tyrannosaur Row Change Bug

This bug is exclusive to the Dragon's Neck Coliseum. If Haste or Slow is cast on Tyrannosaur, its graphic will shift one tile back while the spell's animation plays out, and revert back to its original position afterwards.

Magitek Armor Bug

FFVI Magitek Armor Bug

Terra and Locke still in Magitek Armor.

At the third part of Cyan's Soul, the player gets to pilot Magitek Armor in an unknown cave. Whoever is the leader of the party will get Magitek Armor on the map screen. If the player switches out leaders, the previous leader will still technically have the Magitek Armor vehicle. This becomes evident at the ending cutscene of Cyan's Soul after Wrexsoul is defeated; all of the party members who weren't in the lead at the end of the Magitek Armor portion, but took the lead sometime during that part, will show up in Magitek Armor at this time. Simply switching someone into the lead and back without leaving the subscreen, however, won't trigger the bug.

Wavy Animation Bug

In the Anthology version, this bug occurs if the player casts Gravity, and is then hit by a heart or music note animation from enemy special attacks such as Wing Snap from a Nettlehopper or Smirk from Brainpan. The heart or music note animation will fly straight at the target with glimpses of the wave-type path followed in its previous versions, making it obvious this new straight-flying behavior was not intended.

Gogo Status Screen Bug

FFVI Gogo Status Screen Bug

The red and yellow streak under Throw.

There's a red and yellow streak in Gogo's command options window that shouldn't be there, it's located under the Throw command. The line comes from the very last line in Gogo's portrait. This portrait is mysteriously reprinted behind the window, and the last line comes out from behind the window due to a sprite priority bug.

Zozo Jumping Bug

FFVI Zozo Jumping Bug

Locke climbing up facing left.

When the player jumps between buildings in Zozo, jumping left, the lead character doesn't look like they're doing anything out of the ordinary. Jumping right, however, looks awkward. The leader starts facing left, jumps facing right, and pulls themselves up while facing left. The NPC jumping man jumping between buildings doesn't exhibit this bug, it's limited only to the party leader.

Phoenix Cave's Chest Bug

FFVI Phoenix Cave's Chest Bug

Chest closed even after Locke opened it.

A very minor mapping bug occurs after obtaining Locke in the World of Ruin. At the end of the Phoenix Cave, the player will find Locke opening the chest and find the Phoenix Magicite. If the player returns to the cave afterwards, the chest is mysteriously closed and there is no way to open it.

Trance Terra Running Bug

When the player tries to run during battle with a transformed Terra, she isn't depicted as attempting to run even though she's fully capable of doing so and will briefly be shown running when she successfully escapes. Oddly, a Frozen character will be given a running animation, even though they're unable to flee. This is another graphical bug that happens because while the game prevents Zombied, Petrified, KO'ed, Sleeping, and Stopped characters from getting the run animation, it also counts Trance characters as among those ineligible for running, but not Frozen ones.

Running While Jumping Bug

FFVI Running While Jumping Bug

Celes jumping while running.

When a character jumps into the air and attempting to run away. The jumping character will jump into the air appearing to be running away instead of the usual poses throughout the jumping animation, unless the player stops running before it completes the animation, in which case the character's Jump poses will start midway through the animation.
