Topic: New FF4 Hack Announcement

[Deathlike2]

ah, yeah, that may be it.  i know the treasure chest i'm thinking of(the one on the left) had a "wrath of zeus" in it in ff4.  i must've not ever checked it in ff2us.

It is convienently a Thunder Claw.

[bond697]

heh, yeah, i know that now. 




aquaworm is strong. does that tidal wave move it uses do like 1/2 or 1/4 of it's hp(i guess i could just check your faq, huh?)?  it just one-shotted the twins and they have almost 700hp.

in your faq, i see this:

Spell Power: 4 (Max HP Modifier)

but am not sure exactly what that means...  1/4 of the max hp?

wait, you said you didn't change any chests?  why did i just get a coral sword in place of the ancient sword?  the coral sword shows up in ff4et, not ff2us.  that should be the ancient sword.

i'm about 3 minutes into the battle, and i already fucking hate baigan...

It is modified, but it is the same original spell that the monster uses.

1/4 of the Target's MaxHP. That's not the same spell... that's the spell that Leviathan uses.

The AquaWorm monster uses the regular Wave spell (I'm probably going to rename that). That one bases its damage off the caster's current HP, with a modifier. Wave by default is 20 IIRC, but that's pathetic, so I've changed that to 3.

wait, you said you didn't change any chests?  why did i just get a coral sword in place of the ancient sword?  the coral sword shows up in ff4et, not ff2us.  that should be the ancient sword.

Remember that chests are not modified... but it doesn't mean the items themselves are not. See Cursed Shield.

Now you know how much fun I had.

ah, ok.  now i get it.

Now you know how much fun I had.

i have no doubt that you had fun designing this one....




just for the record, i beat him a little while ago after a few tries and figuring out something he was susceptible to.



umm... i hit caignazzo with quake, and the wrong battle message played(if any was supposed to play at all).  yang said "ouch" for no reason.

also, holy shit did "wave" just beat the hell out of me...

It's correct. The "ouch" part was a reuse of code, but it's not entirely out of place. It's a magical attack after all.

What, you thought the screenshot was a joke?

What, you thought the screenshot was a joke? 

a.  yeah, it was kind of a toss up for me wether you had that there on purpose or not, since i knew it fit, and especially since yang was the only survivor.

b.  i was hoping...  i knew it was gonna be bad, i just didn't realize how bad. 

aaaanywho,  buying some stuff at silvera(i think that's ff2us's name for it), and off to toria.!   

and, hey, go figure.  edgar both times.  just noticed that...

now i'm gonna try and farm some of those fire traps and head over to eblan before toria...


ah well, off to troia...

[bond697]

mmmk, eagerly awaiting the next installment...

[Deathlike2]

Well, that's going to take some time. Even after the changes, I still have to work at getting out of the Magnetic Cave first.... 

Lacking space for items is killing me at this point...

 

No comments on the Dark Elf? 

[Deathlike2]

Looks like the real fun begins. Now with Fire+Ice equipment becoming available... monsters will be significantly more devastating w/o as much tweaking necessary...

[Tristal]

I've worked my way back to Milon, at a level that would've wiped the floor with him previously... now that Drain's changed, I'm not even close to even killing one of the enemies :(

[Deathlike2]

Killing the undead requires the same optimal tactic.

When revising Drain, I did test the changes myself to see if it was overpowered... it really isn't. In addition, it allows Drain to be more reusable (I can't say the same for Psych/Osmose), but the spell power had to be retweaked appropriately.

[Tristal]

I got through it, was just a matter of the twins having decent HP.  Just upgraded to Paladin, working through that now.

[Tristal]

Wow.  I could try grinding a lot to make Baigan easier, but given that the problem is the status effects... hmm. :/

[bond697]

dark elf?  dark elf spent awhile beating the shit out of me.  i don't remember exactly how i beat him now, but i know it took some strategizing and was a nice challenge for a change.

[Deathlike2]

The monster is still easier than you think... but if you didn't listen to what happens after he changes form... it was actually pretty nifty.
