Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Screwing With The Golbez-Rydia Battle

« on: September 12, 2009, 10:45:09 AM »

Inspired by some moron's stupid insistence on Gamefaqs...

If you take advantage of the Mysidia Dancer to inflict Piggy on you, you could use that in the Golbez-Rydia battle, where Hold Gas/Cursed Aura does not work on you, thereby allowing you the chance to revive characters before Rydia shows up.

The only thing I'm not aware of is any possible healing before the battle....

Maybe Boldin will get an extension from the Cards because of this?....

Bartender with the poison was better than the lame pig+toad stunt.

Welcome to the "it better be easy for me to change automatically" generation. They need to be slapped senseless.

Hm, I've never seen/tried it then since it happens to me rarely.

The only time I saw this was in DB's Easytype "translation". I've never seen it otherwise.

If you want to properly test it, just force the game to fight the Dr. Lugae (2nd form) battle. That is the only time where a key item is dropped... that should simulate what you're talking about.

Here's my quick breakdown for all the teams:

NFC East:
Giants - They should be the favorite to win the division, but they are the most likely to make the playoffs, regardless.
Cowboys - They might get somewhere, but I've yet to see what the impact of losing TO means to an offense that is Favrish because of Romo. Then again, if they make the playoffs, they are gonna choke it away because of their head coach.
Redskins - I'm not sure what kind of fantasy team the owner runs, but that doesn't solve their QB situation.. it's unclear how much better Campbell is, so I see them being a potential Wild Card, but not much better.
Eagles - With Micheal Vick on the back of McNabb's shoulder, this team will be interesting to watch. They have a great chance to make the playoffs, but eh... the secondary is still suspect IMO.

NFC North:
Vikings - With Favrere, please embrace the potential disappointment of possibly not making the postseason at all. Once you start hearing the whines of Favre giving games away, it's over.
Packers - I'm sure the drama will be awesome once that game happens between the Vikings (Vikings lose plz!) It is hard to gauge how good the QB here will be...
Lions - They are the Lions. Let's just lol.
Bears - They should win the division, just based on their competition... which is more than mediocre. It's actually possible they might have the advantage here in making the #1 seed in the NFC. Of course, that all depends on Cutler.

NFC South:
Panthers - I don't have much faith in Delhomme, but moreso that team hasn't changed much at all, because of Julius Peppers holding up this team's cap. This means they are screwed quite a bit. They don't have a shot to win the division.... probably have a chance at the Wild Card though...
Falcons - They have a fair chance at winning the division, but a rookie's success might not continue to hold though.
Saints - I'm sure this team will contend, but I'm not so sure if their defense has gotten better.
Bucs - It's hard to make out how this team will make out, given so much turnover that has happened.

NFC West:
Seahawks - I see a bounceback here from Hasslebeck, but I'm not sure if that's enough to defeat the Cards... yet.
Cardinals - This team will be the favorites to win the division, but will success get to their heads. I don't think that Super Bowl loss is going to help them this year.
Rams - This team is rebuilding... but one wonders if Marc Bulger is ever going to be the same...
49ers - I think this team will make life a tad harder for the others in the division, but will not make the Wild Card. They still have QB issues anyways.


AFC East:
Pats - They are certainly the favorite to win the division, as long as Brady is upright. The preseason is always helpful to get the timing down for a bit, especially after having a lost year. The question is whether or not the young defense (the d-line is actually the oldest of the bunch, and maybe some of the secondary guys, which are mainly FAs) will hold up.
Dolphins - I think they will be Wild Card contenders, but they will suffer quite a bit from their success last year. The Wildcat formation thing is still a gimmick, but worthy of getting a quality trick play status, and I'm sure they can still engineer some wins.
Jets - Rookie QB means they will have some problems offensively... that and a transitioning team (starting with the head coach) will make this very difficult for them to succeed.
Bills - Wait until TO complains about the team. They have problems beyond TO.

AFC North:
Steelers - They should be the favorite to win the division... I don't think they'll win it all again (it's tough to do that in the first place), but they will certainly be contenders.
Ravens - This will be similar to Falcons.. where the rookie QB may not be as great this year. They surely will have the defense, but it's hard to tell if that's all they will be. Wild Card should be possible for them.
Browns - This team is transitioning again (and again), and an unproven QB in both Anderson and Quinn will make it hard to bring success.
Bengals - I don't see them getting anywhere fast... I mean... they had only 1 good year as of late. There's no consistency with this team.

AFC South:
Colts - They should be the division favorite. I don't see Peyton being as slow as he was last year with the injury. The problem though is if Bob Sanders ever STAYS healthy... and sure there's a transition at head coach, but Peyton's still been damn good... except when he gets to the playoffs for the most part.
Titans - The problem this team faces is mainly that I don't think that both sides of the ball will be as good as last year. This doesn't even factor into that not-so-useful Vince Young... the loss of Haynesworth to FA should be watched. They should be able to contend for the Wild Card.
Jags - I have NFI how they will be, after having a terrible year. They should probably bounce back, but I don't know how far they will get. Watch for the Wild Card for this year.
Texans - They are still the joke team in Texas...

AFC West:
Chargers - They should be division winners, if not the top seed in the AFC by default because of their lame competition in the division. The only person on that team they should worry about is LT...
Broncos - So many changes... and too many radical ones to boot. I don't seem them getting anywhere, especially of Kyle Orton is really hurt.
Chiefs - They are definitely rebuilding.. they should be better than last year, but not by much.
Raiders - They are the complete joke organization... other than the Lions. Seriously, there is no greatness of the Raiders this year.

There we go.

You guys fail for not being manly with picks. It's time for the season to begin!

It's time. 

Titans @ Steelers (Thursday)

Steelers - I don't see any way that the Steelers embarrass themselves on opening night. This and the Titans losing Haynesworth to FA will be the difference.

Dolphins @ Falcons

Falcons - Falcons as of last year have been much better at home, and this should be no different.

Broncos @ Bengals

Bengals - Broncos are in a significant transition year, plus we don't really know if Kyle Orton will play. Chances are, the Bengals have a shot to have one good week with Ocho Cinco.

Vikings @ Browns

Vikings - I want Favrerererere to lose, but with the Browns in their transition... and Brady Quinn being an unknown quantity, I don't see the Browns winning.

Jaguars @ Colts (division)

Colts - With Peyton getting some preseason time unlike last year, I see the Colts winning the division again. I have NFI what the Jags are this year...

Lions @ Saints

Saints - Lions will extend their losing streak. 'Nuff said.

Cowboys @ Buccaneers

Cowboys - Bucs have no QB IIRC. That and a fired offensive coordinator is probably a good bet.

Eagles @ Panthers

Eagles - Eagles to upset the mediocre Panthers... ya they have no record, but they are fucked in FA because of salary cap issues and Julius Peppers.

Chiefs @ Ravens

Ravens - Cassel's not playing, and the Ravens defense will probably hold them off.

Jets @ Texans

Texans - Does anyone see a rookie QB winning their first game period? It doesn't help when it's on the road.

Redskins @ Giants (division)

Giants - I'm not buying into the Redskins yet.

49'ers @ Cardinals (division)

Cards - 49ers have no QB, and this is a home game for the Cards...

Rams @ Seahawks (division)

Seahawks - I see them backing a bounce back year... whereas the Rams are meh IMO.

Bears @ Packers (division)

Bears - I call this my upset pick, only because it seemed like a good thing to do.

Bills @ Patriots (division)

Pats - You know there's something wrong when you fire your offensive coordinator that early.

Chargers @ Raiders (division)

Chargers - Anyone can beat the lame Raiders.

Yes, the Pass is the only special key item that you can buy or sell. I was hoping for more than a dance there....

So, I've said before about how Image is applied to the dead.. although that's useless technically, but it is a visual bug.

In my new finding, it is applied to Kain while jumping and Edward while hiding...

Some pics:


Image (1) is still applied:

Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Sylph Heals A Hiding Edward

« on: September 09, 2009, 10:03:14 PM »

This affects FF4A, but probably also FF4 (although it would not normally be possible).

It's a very simple test. Sylph as we know heals everyone based on the damage dealt and the # of targets on the field.

Normally, healing in general excludes those that are hidden (Edward) and those that are jumping (Kain), not just the dead.

Apparently Edward is able to be healed while hidden...

Some pics:


See Edward was healed?!?!


 

Killed the stupid "Share this Image on Twitter!!!!111" garbage ImageShack now loves to attach to your images now. Thankfully, they're currently doing it by just adding another image tag to the bbcode; they're not actually appending that crap to your images (yet, I'm sure that's next). -DKK

Perhaps, but not FF4 or FF4A though.
