So when you rescue Shadow, your characters will refer to him as "she" and "her," because the game is using the dialogue provided my the case that you're rescuing Relm.

Which Gau explained, and I referenced that point. However, some people argue that scene I just described above as another way of proving Shadow's sex as female.

Okay, this is what I was looking for. It seems to me that, since I originally played the game when it was brand new, it may have had a few translation errors that confused me. In later versions, those may have been fixed. Or, alternately, they weren't fixed, but being more familiar with the game I was able to subconsciously figure out what they mean from the context. I'm not sure on that, but the point is that you all have told me that many people make that mistake.
That is likely the source of the rumor: vague pronoun refrence, or some other grammatical oversight. For some reason I just don't fall for it now.
It's still a coincidence that my brother and I would misinterpret the same translation error to mean the same this, but it's a plausible coincident.
I wasn't convinced I was right, or anything. I just couldn't come up with any other explanation that made sense to me. But this one does, so I can hopefully stop wondering about it.
So thanks for clearing this up. And to whichever mod I sorta flamed, sorry about the n00b-like posts earlier (I'm new here, but not to forums in general). Thank you for your patience and help.

I believe that there are a lot of FF6 rumors because the history has some open things. Just like the whole "Gogo is Daryl" thing.

I remember when I first played through FF6 (I was only 13 back then), I thought that Shadow had more dreams just because the others 5 dreams weren't really helpful to explain his past (it was hard to understand that Clyde was Relm's father or maybe I was just a very stupid kid). And I lost a couple of hours searching for a dream that I never found.

Did i miss something the 3 times i played the game???
could somebody please post the dream locations or whatever...
and i dont recall Relm having any dream...
damn.... im clueless....

The 'dream' Relm has is when you find her in the cave on the Veldt, if you dont get Shadow. Cyan's dream is the whole deal in Doma castle in the WoR. And Shadow's dreams are just random. Take Shadow around and sleep in different inns, at Doma Castle, at free beds... just wherever, and he'll randomly have these dreams.

I think you have to do it in WOB. I remember that you can't get these dreams in WOR.

[TheAbominatrix]

You can get all five in the WoR. I've done it myself plenty of times, because there's so few opportunities to have Shadow on your team in the WoB.
