Final Fantasy VI PlayStation esper section
Zona Seeker, also known as Zoneseek, is an esper in Final Fantasy VI who can be acquired as a magicite.
Profile[]
Zona Seeker is a brown, red and black floating creature. Its body is mostly skeletal and has no legs, while it appears to also wear a cape.
How it ended in the auction house is unknown; however, Zona Seeker's sprite is among those that can be seen leaving the Esper World when Terra Branford approaches the Sealed Gate.
Obtained[]
Zona Seeker is bought for 10,000 gil in the Auction House in Jidoor once the Magitek Factory has been completed and the Blackjack can be piloted.
Gameplay[]
Zona Seeker costs 30 MP to summon and casts Magic Shield (called Wall in the SNES and PlayStation versions) that grants Shell to the party. At level up it provides a +2 boost to Magic.
Zona Seeker is a rather useful magicite, as many bosses rely prominently on magic and it is quicker and more efficient to summon Zona Seeker than it is to cast Shell on each character individually. If the player uses Strago as part of their main party composition, Zona Seeker is rendered obsolete by Mighty Guard, which grants the party both Shell and Protect. However, it is still a useful esper to equip in dungeons that require three different groups. Its +2 boost to Magic at level ups can also be helpful in turning a character with weak or average spell power into a more powerful mage.
Spells[]
Zona Seeker teaches two important spells at fast learn rates, so party members can equip it for only a couple battles to learn them. It also teaches Shell the fastest of any esper the party can obtain for much of the game; only Alexander teaches it faster.
