Lately I've been back to chugging along on my project (lots of little things all over the place have finally gotten done, and dialgoue up to the Cainazzo has been edited)
and I've been brainstorming on what to do with the fights with the individual fiends. As a child I always wished I could see the crazy scrolling battle background effect seen during just one singel fight - the fight with Zeromus.
Which begs me to ask - would it be feasible to use that effect outside of that one fight? What conditions must be met for it to occur? Is it possible to use this effect with other battle backgrounds, regardless of how wonky it may look?
From my persistant proddings with FF4kster, the only things I can gather are:
- The effect doesn't trigger if I set up Cainazzos Mytery byte/flags to match Zeromus in the Formation Editor
- The map which the final battle occurs has the Crystal Room background, yet the final battle calls it's own background
- The dying effect during the final battle cuts the music, and is longer as well as crazier looking than normal. I'd love to figure out how that's handled as well.
I'm going to give another go with Geigers and try to see what I can find out (which may not be a whole lot, as I'm still trying to figure stuff out on that front.) I'll also be looking for the battle background used for the final fight in YYCHR (oughtta be around the same place as all the others), but mostly to see how other backgrounds look like when fighting Zeromus
Any info/theories on the matter are highly appreciated!
