In this tutorial I'm covering how to edit compressed graphics with the help of Peer Sprite Viewer and YY-CHR. The process is similar to the one explained in the YY-CHR tutorial except you need to decompress the graphic before editing it and compress it after. I edit in this video the shield (block) graphic. There are other compressed graphics in the ROM, some ending graphics, chocobo, airship and others.

Battle status graphics: D2/E000 to D2/EBFF (headerless offset)
Shield Palette: C2/B091 to C2/B09C (headerless offset)
