PB Demo III findings
TheNattak:
First of all, SPOILERS! For those who have yet to play.

Okay, I just finally started playing and I wanted to report my findings thus far. I'm sure some if not most or all of these must have already been addressed by now, but that's a risk I'm willing to take!
- Bad tile on South Figaro house exterior.
http://www.mediafire.com/view/myfiles/#d9cdfc8dh5rx8xp
- Right after the switch event about the train being aware (very nice touch!), the two bottom characters (Cyan and Shadow) instead of merging back into the party, they just became hidden instantly instead.

(sorry, couldn't get a pic of them vanishing.)
- Says Sir Gilgamesh dialog box twice, the 2nd time is right after he leaves. Not sure if this is intentional.

- Extra space after 'You'. (can't believe you guys made us have to double-back through basically the first half of the game thus far just to get some damn lube! lmao, how sadistic.) It's a cool quest/event idea though, just highly tedious.

- Mana Anklet's description bleeds over.
http://www.mediafire.com/view/myfiles/#3bfol6zmh2kohw3
- There is a noticeable lag after using the Item Arrange feature. If you press arrange and then try to quickly go right or left it takes about half a second. I'd guess that you guys must of added some code that takes a bunch of extra cycles to cause this lag. Or maybe it's all the new icons?

My personal observations.
- IMO class names like 'King' and 'Child' are too basic and are not really Class Name's. I mean, they are I guess, but since it's blatantly obvious that King Edgar is a king, and Gau is a child, then what's the point of reiterating that via class name? Just my 2 cents.
- The new tent event/actions, while cute, do take longer obviously than the fast pace normal tent routine, and I found myself turbo-ing through that after the first few times. I miss the quick old tent in other words lol.
- Music player is awesome, I'd like to not hear the pad beep sound when scrolling through the selections though.

It's an incredible hack fellas, I'm having a lot of fun and re-living FF6 in a fresh and better way. Love a lot of what you've done, and I respect the amount of time and commitment that has gone into it. It shows! Keep up the great work. =)

Oh wow, don't know how we never saw that one. :blush:

That's going to be my fault. I screwed up the event somewhere.

Several accessory descriptions do at the moment. It'll be especially apparent when you switch to wider fonts.

That...shouldn't be. Originally, the game used three loops to back up the inventory before sorting it. I optimized it so it only took one loop, and that code runs 62% faster now. I'll look into it.

The names we came up tried to say what they were, or what they did. IIRC, FF6A calls Gau "Feral Child," while Edgar is "Engineer." Gau's FF6A is no more descriptive than ours, except for implicating something sexual, potentially. This is one of those "can't win them all" scenarios. :hmm:

The new tent/cabin events only take place on the world map.

When it was designed, it was going to follow the rest of the menus in terms of layout and feel. The other menus we add in will follow the same style.

Thanks for the input. :childish:
TheNattak:
Just to follow up on this a bit, the lag from the Arrange feature is actually about 1/16th of a second lag, sorry for the exaggeration on that. But it is noticeable.
And as for the tent event, that works then well if it's on the overworld exclusively! My bad on that.
EDIT: After looking more into the Arrange lag, I noticed that starting a new game here and doing it there is no lag and it is super fast. It seems to be when there are a lot of items in the inventory, or maybe it's a certain type of item(s), not sure. Maybe try and stack your inventory to max and see if you can replicate it on your side there.

no, that'd be "Virile Child".

doesn't the original game have a slight lag with large inventories as well? or maybe i'm just thinking of Optimize in the Equip menu.
--- Quote ---Or maybe it's all the new icons?
--- End quote ---
that could definitely impact things. each icon type causes a 256-slot Item list to be iterated (albeit skipping most of the code for blank slots).
TheNattak:
Honestly the lag is so slight I doubt anyone would even notice it as an issue. Totally makes up for it with all the nice item icons! Compared to the original though it is just that slight little 32nd-16th of a second pause. I noticed it because I'm constantly arranging my items like a smoker flicks their cigarette lol.
