Everyone loves a good suplex, especially Final Fantasy 6 fans with fond memories dishing them out during the Phantom Train boss fight.
Last Sunday, Square Enix shared a video of the iconic scene from the upcoming Final Fantasy 6 pixel remaster on Twitter, only to be met with criticism because (please sit down for this) the train wasn’t appearing upside down when the character Sabin performs a suplex! It sounds ridiculous across the board, but fans love the Phantom Train boss fight precisely because it’s so silly. Plus, is it a real suplex if your opponent isn’t going face-first into the ground? I think not, friends!
Take a look at the clip in question for yourself below.

Fans weren’t happy with the pixel remaster’s suplex animation and quickly pointed out the error.
shouldn't the train sprite turn upside down as well? pic.twitter.com/CkCjwpLIn6

Then on Thursday, Square Enix finally addressed the error.
“We’re still hard at work polishing Final Fantasy VI pixel remaster in time for launch next week, and we saw some of your comments that the Phantom Train didn’t flip during Meteor Strike,” Square Enix said on Twitter. “The video was taken from a pre-release version, and will be adjusted in time for launch!”
So there it is, folks. The Phantom Train will flip upside down during suplexes. All is right with the world once again. Hopefully, Square Enix doesn’t make similar mistakes with the upcoming Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition.
