FF6 - Brave New World

I've got a couple more things to say:

1: Is there a reason why Warp Whistles don't work in the Phoenix Cave?

2: When a boss is killed with Reraise status on, it will die, be revived, and die again. The issue is that it won't drop its item when killed for some reason (I think that Reraise is why it wouldn't drop the item; if the boss just has a chance of not dropping the item, or it's something else, then ignore me, but something seems fishy) I'm pretty sure that Reraise is what prevented me from getting Excalibur in my first playthrough, and the Dragon Hide in my LLG (although I rekilled the Red Dragon directly afterwards because it's an important piece of equipment that I knew came from the Red Dragon).

3: If you unlock the doors in Narshe, then go back to the airship and remove Locke from the party, then go back to Narshe, Locke will still say his dialogue when talking to the old man, even though he isn't in the party. I know you'd have to be trying to do this, but I still felt it was worth a mention.

BTW, I'm at final Kefka in the LLG, although I still haven't made any attempts.

My levels:
Terra: Level 3 (Same as she was when Biggs and Wedge were still with me )
Locke: Level 9 (He ate EXP from both the Minecart Ride and the IAF sequence. However, he would have been Level 10 if I didn't redistribute the EXP properly)
Edgar: Level 6 (He was present during the Mine Cart sequence. He would have been Level 7 if I didn't redistribute more of the EXP to Gau)
Sabin: Level 3
Cyan: Level 3
Celes: Level 3
Setzer: Level 5: (He joins right after the Mine Cart Sequence, so I didn't have time to leap Gau onto the Veldt to decrease his starting level to 4. He never got any EXP though)
Strago: Level 9: (He started at Level 1, but Locke and Gau were each dead at the end of one of the Sky Armor/Spitfire battles, so he ended up with just as much EXP. If I was more careful with my EXP during that part, he could have been lower, but that was difficult enough as it was).
Relm: Level 1
Shadow: Level 4: (Reaveraged to Level 4 at Thamasa. I had lept Gau onto the Veldt at that point, so he wasn't Level 5 like Setzer)
Mog: Level 3: (By holding off on getting him until the WoR, I could recruit him when my level average was 3 instead of 4. It was worth the chastising he gave me!)
Gogo: Level 1
Umaro: Level 8 (He joins at much higher than the average)

Gau: Level 19: (At the point when he ate the EXP from Nimfu, and jumped from Level 10 to level 18, I stopped using him, except to eat even more EXP. He also took some of the EXP from the Mine Cart Ride, IAF sequence, the unavoidable battles in Owser's House, and the Androids who show up with Guardian)

My level average without Gau is 4.46, and my level average with Gau is 5.50. I'd say that the former is more accurate, as I never used Gau when his level was that high.

Wish me luck!
