Thanks for this.

This will improve the PC port of the game.
The decision to keep only the English dub in the port is especially baffling as Square Enix always defaults to the English dub even if the text is in a different language that's not English nor Japanese.
And the iOS version contains the Japanese version, but the English dub plays whenever your phone is in any language that's not Japanese.

It's like showing Amélie in the German dub with English subtitles in the US, even if the film was originally in French.
Or showing any Studio Ghibli film in the English dub with Russian subtitles in Russia, even if the films were originally in Japanese. Or in a Mandarin dub with English subtitles over in the US.
Or showing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Japanese with French subtitles over in France, even if it was originally in Mandarin.
It's a concept that is illogical, in my opinion.

Updated with alternate instructions, more emphasis on important parts and a comparison between the censored and uncensored versions.

Please follow the instructions carefully.

The Celes chained sprite is a standalone sprite in the SNES version (meaning another sprite ID than her sprite sheet). I would be only a matter of changing the sprite ID in the corresponding NPC data if the chained sprite is not on her spritesheet in the steam version. If the chained sprite is on her spritesheet then you have to change the pose ID of the NPC. This cannot be done in the NPC data but can be done in the entrance event of the South Fiogaro basement map. I could write a small tutorial on how to do it.

If you patch (well the GBA patch) does include the chained sprite, well I didn't understood right and made a useless post :P

Yes, that sprite is included in the GBA version.

They even redid the sprite for Celes chained to the wall.

Sorry, but I can't do that. I can't do well with graphics and sprites. Please get someone else to do that.

did some diging and found a bunch of ff6 opera vocals on youtube if anyone wants the links just pm me. or post with my quote.

Use the Orchestral Game Concert or whatever it's called version, it's the version used in the GBA sound restoration patch.

Can someone convert the Orchestral Game Concert version of Opera Maria and Draco to .akb and apply it to the PC version?
You can go Google "Opera Maria and Draco Orchestral Game Concert" FLAC but I won't tell you exactly where to get it because of copyright reasons.
I thought up this idea after watching the Sound Restoration patch for Final Fantasy VI Advance on YouTube. They reverted every song to their SNES versions except for the opera tracks which became fully orchestrated and with real performers.

Updated with new instructions and 100% less piracy.

As you may know, there is a scene in the GBA, iOS, Android and PC versions in which Celes is insulted by guards in a prison in South Figaro.
In the SNES and PS1 versions, she was being beaten up by the guards rather than being merely insulted.
Square Enix censored this scene in the Advance version to get an A (the Japanese video game equivalent of an E) rating from CERO (the Japanese equivalent of the ESRB) rather than a B (equivalent to T) rating for the Game Boy Advance versions.

But Novalia Spirit over at Romhacking.net did a ROM hack to restore the uncensored scene to any GBA version. The hack is called General Violence.
Now you're all wondering, how would a GBA hack be a mod for the PC version.

The .obb file which has all of the data for the game has a file called rom.bin within the /misc subfolder. It is a Japanese ROM for Final Fantasy VI Advance. I tried it on an emulator and it works.

I applied the Japanese version (there is one version each for the Japanese, European and USA ROMs) General Violence hack to the rom.bin and it works properly.

I won't be posting the .fep patch so no copyrighted material will be redistributed.

And, for comparison:
SNES US version (yes, it's the uncensored version in the SNES despite Nintendo's censorship policies):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjEEeWfxFAU

8. Go back to FFVI Explore, go to "Patch" and drag the newly patched rom.bin file there.

In case the previous method doesn't work, try this method:

1. Install Lunar IPS and FFVI Explore if you haven't already.
2. Open FFVI Explore and open the main.obb file in the Final Fantasy VI directory.
3. Extract misc/rom.bin, rom.bin will show up in a new subfolder in the FF6 folder called misc.
4. Extract the General Violence patch inside the misc subfolder.
5. Set your PC settings to show filename extensions if you haven't already.
6. Rename rom.bin to (whatever).gba ((whatever) can be any name, I prefer temporaryrom, but it has to have the filename extension .gba)
7. Open Lunar IPS and select ff6_gba_j_violence.ips inside the misc subfolder. Do NOT use any other file like ff6_gba_u_violence.ips or ff6_gba_e_violence.ips, ff6_gba_j_violence.ips is the only one that will work.
8. Select (whatever).gba in the misc subfolder.
9. Rename the now-patched (whatever).gba back to rom.bin.
10. Go back to FFVI Explore, go to "Patch" and drag the newly patched rom.bin file there.
