Headed back to Cave Magnes... definitely missed a few good equipment upgrades here.

Those Giant Gloves are free multiplier and defense upgrades, despite providing no magic defense.

Yeah, those are the major ones I missed out on.

Also, you know you're behind a version when you kill a boss in 5 minutes...

Is it even possible to lose the Golbez fight?

 :edit: Looks like a really lucky Flare CAN one shot Cecil at my level.

[spoiler]Actually, I'd be impressed if the whole trick was to try and win the fight before you kill 8 dragons, for whatever Golbez drops.  This is much less trivial (although it IS possible to get Kain in the air during the initial volley, which would help)

Also for the record, the Warp trick still works.  Don't know if you can modify that.[/spoiler]

Looking forward to the next update.

It sets the bar.

I'll have to consider just adding an initial Blink so the Jump is useless (which will ensure a few things).

The Warp trick is fixed in FF4ET... go figure. I'll find something that's worth dropping in the Sealed Cave that isn't available until you complete it.

What's with the Blink on Shadow anyway, it serves zero purpose

It's not perfect, because its Agility is above average. The idea is not allow it to be killable (it does stand a chance to be killed) to prevent the healing.

Fair enough, I'm sure I only make light of the fight because I've already overlevelled myself.  I could see this being a huge headache with Cecil around 1200 HP.

ok, got zsnes up and running with the newest version of the hack, got my favorite drinking glass out, a nice long winamp playlist ready to go, and i fucking have to go to work now.  ah well, hopefully it won't be busy...   :bah:

pretty excited to keep going with this...  :cycle:  :clocke:

:edit:

i'm home, the house is mine for the night, and it's time to playyyyyy!

:edit: 2

i just beat cid.  it wasn't easy but wasn't really difficult either.  i may be over-levelled though.  i'm not sure.  i got a nice surprise afterward, a [spoiler]genji shield[/spoiler].  i'm going to hang around and fight him some more.  i need to find tella also...  i'm gonna stick around and win all the gear i can, though.  i have no doubt i'm gonna need it in zot and beyond.

:edit: 3

fuck tella. i'm going into the tower.

now that i'm in here, i'm so, so glad i kept a full set of claws for yang.  hitting carapaces and ice lizards for 9999 makes for suuuuch a good feeling.

also, i'm so happy that i managed to figure out a really easy way of beating flame dogs.  i love the [spoiler]mysticag sword![/spoiler] :cycle:
i was able to take my time, heal my guys up completely, then refill my mp with the lamia rod.

also, it was nice to find out randomly that the puppet master things are weak to [spoiler]warp[/spoiler]

There's a good chance the next version will be released on Monday... even if I get the monsters done before I sleep tonight (it's morning, but eh, it's a weekend  :tongue: ) I have to rework the boss AI. I have in mind what one the battles will be like... it will remind you of a classic boss in FF6 (no, not  :laugh:  :wink: ) with a variation. It will be certainly better than that pitiful AI script installed into FF6  :finger: .

Hey, what's wrong with FF6's AI system?

119 bugs fixed and counting.

I was referring to the script installed for the monster... not the system itself.

You know how many sucky bosses are in FF6? 90% of them are  :lame:

To be fair, the AI script in FF4 was written by monkeys on typewriters, because it's worth scratching your head to see what useless stuff was written.

Hmmm.... Dr. Lugae = Number 024?

Anything's better than JCE's insane version in FF4 Impossible v1.0.  ;_;
