As you progress through each scenario, you’ll want to save your game. The great news is, you don’t need any logins, plugins, pompoms, or special relics to do so. Just touch a shimmering save point, then select “Save” from the menu.
By default, your save game is stored locally. That means if you play SixEngine on another device, you will start a new game. However, if you want to bring your save game with you, you can do so by using the “Import / Export” feature.
“Import / Export” is easy to use. You can access it from “Config” at any time, or from the “Save” menu (while standing on a save point). When you export your save game, you’ll get a link that you can bring to another device. Punch in that address in another browser, and you can pick up where you left off. You can also share the link with a friend, or your favorite enemy.
Saving is very important. If you perish in battle, you will be returned to your most recent save. You can also refresh your browser to return to your last save. You might remember that FF6 had a feature where you would retain any experience points gained since your last save, while losing everything else (money, items, and so on). I did code a feature like that into SixEngine, but it turned out not to be necessary, so it’s disabled for now.
Those who want a greater challenge will have plenty of optional restrictions available to them. Likewise, those who wish to grow their characters will be similarly rewarded with great strength in battle.
In both cases, it pays to “save early, save often!”
