| Character sprites are located at $D50000 ($D50200 with header). You can either {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:yychr-offset.png?linkonly|enter that address}} (as $150000 or $150200 if header present) or scroll until you see the GFX tiles. Note that you need to {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:yychr-4bpp.png?linkonly|set the graphic format to 4bpp SNES}}. | Character sprites are located at $D50000 ($D50200 with header).

| If you want the right colors (i.e., the right palette), you can import the {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:ff3us-pal.zip|FF6 NPC Palettes}} in YY-CHR by going to //Palette -> Open Palette (*.pal)//. This makes editing a lot easier, but it is not mandatory. The palette shown in YY-CHR is not the one used by the game, and the GFX is not modified by this step since it uses a palette (see [[ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites#understanding_sprites|section 2]]). | If you want the right colors (i.e., the right palette), you can import the {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:ff3us-pal.zip|FF6 NPC Palettes}} in [[rh:utilities:yychr|YY-CHR]] by going to //Palette -> Open Palette (*.pal)//.

| There are several different tile arrangements available. Since we are dealing with 16x24 sprites for characters, a more convenient way to view the tiles would be {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:yychr-16x24.png?linkonly|16x24}}. If you had a 32x32 NPC sprite to edit, choosing 32x32 for the tile arrangement would make it easier to edit the tiles. As previously stated, other utilities are more useful than YY-CHR. [[ff3:ff3us:util:ff3usme|FF3usME]] and [[ff3:ff3us:util:ff3spriteed|FF3SpriteEd]] both have a tile editor (see {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:ff3usme-tile.png?linkonly|here}} and {{ff3:ff3us:tutorial:sprites:ff3usse-tile.png?linkonly|here}}). [[ff3:ff3us:util:ff3se|FF3SE]] only allows sprite sheet editing, but it follows the same tile logic when saving the sprite to the ROM. | There are several different tile arrangements available.

| To summarize this section, YY-CHR can help with basic tasks, but for complex sprite editing, FF3usME, FF3SpriteEd, and FF3SE are more convivial and allow a faster working pace. | To summarize this section, [[rh:utilities:yychr|YY-CHR]] can help with basic tasks, but for complex sprite editing, FF3usME, FF3SpriteEd, and FF3SE are more convivial and allow a faster working pace. |
