FF6 Beyond Chaos Randomizer is a free tool that remixes Final Fantasy VI content into a new mod each time it runs. Players choose what to change using flags, and the available modes include normal, three cave modes, K at N, and dragon hunt. The project says its basic flags allow more than 10 billion possible randomizations. A generated seed creates a patched ROM and a mini-FAQ with details such as item locations, shop information, and monster abilities. Sharing the integer seed lets others produce the same randomization. The project supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as Super Nintendo-compatible hardware. Windows users are directed to download BeyondChaos.zip from the releases page. Non-Windows users need Python 3.7 or higher; Python 2 is no longer supported. The randomizer requires an FF3 US 1.0 ROM, which the project says it cannot provide. The Windows executable downloads the sprite pack at startup, while console-mode users must get sprite packs manually. Bugs can be reported through the issue tracker or Discord, though volunteer maintainers may not respond immediately.
