You'll need a hex editor. This site's wiki has three of them; personally I use HxD.

https://www.ff6hacking.com/wiki/doku.php...ex_editors

Make a copy of your ROM and open it with the Hex Editor (and ONLY the copy). You have to be careful, you can use Hex editors to change ANY file, but it will likely make them unstable; you only want to play with the ROM which is well-documented. Use the find function to go to the address Madsiur gave you (5FE83E). The window is displayed as a grid in hexadecimal 'dohs' (so each row has sixteen values). You'll see 5FE830, and you'll want to find Column E.

You'll want to replace this byte and every byte after with 00 up to and including 60301D (which is 800x23 bytes later, the storage spot for all the portraits and the end value Madsiur listed). Then save the file.
This _should_ make all of the portraits blank in the modified version of the ROM; you can test by starting the game and seeing if you see the soldier's face on the first dialogue box. Note it won't shift the text over with the portraits gone; there'll be a blank spot there.

When you're done with the modification, if you don't intend to do any other manual hacking I recommend deleting the hex editor so that you don't accidentally alter another file with it.
