Game Modification Station / Re: New FF4 Hack Announcement
« on: May 05, 2011, 04:46:20 PM »
Yep, first time around I made it past Kainazzo. I can't recall why I stopped playing at the time, likely something dealing with college, if I had to guess.
Antlion's Den - Cecil 20/Rydia18/Edward 10
Alright Antlion was rather simple. Edward Dead, Cecil on Heal-bot, and Rydia chucking Chocobo's at every turn. Sharp Claw dealt a healthy chunk of damage, but nothing that the many, many Hi-Potions on hand couldn't cure.
The dungeon however was rather interesting. I Love how useful you have made Edward in this hack and I have noticed this going forward. Charm/Sleep wth a near 100% hit rate on his weapons makes him a perfect support character. Cecil is powerful, but he's no longer invincible, you actually need to watch what you do with him.
As an aside... I thought I read somewhere in this forum that the chance to apply status ailments is purely based on Agility. If such is the case why would the Harps with Edward's game start agility have their Status hit nearly 100% of the time?
Though the Weeper enemies were surprisingly brutal. A nice touch there. Normal hit can cause Toad, Spell cast will result in Piggy and a physical attack will result in Mini. It was a rough time defeating them and as far as I'm aware they don't drop anything spectacular.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I love the Coward/Edward battle. Played out pretty much exactly as I remember it. If you know the trick to the fight it's quite easy, just a bit long, the award is quite nice as well.
Training Rosa to Level 15 before we ascend Mt. Hobbs. I went in and wasted a good amount of my White arrows not thinking, then decided it would likely be best to grind for another Silver Ring for Rosa. Even got the Thunder Rod at the end of the battle which yielded it. So now I have each of the Elemental Rods. I like that you made them available so early in this hack, it really shows their usefulness and versatility.
Went back onto the mountain and trained Rosa up to 14 currently and snagged the Roc and Bomb summons while I was at it. The Lamia Harp is a Godsend here, if you're not careful against the Cockatrice's and you whittle them down without thinking you may be looking at a gameover. The Bombs and friends are similarly nasty with Fission dealing upwards to 100 damage at times (though I think that's based on how much HP they have remaining) and Explode nearly outright killing a member of the team.
Mt. Hobbs - Cecil 21/Rydia 20/Edward 16/Rosa 15
I had a rather strange glitch happen to me when I accidentally used Hide as Edward, when he came back I could select the blank spot beneath Item. Used a savestate, tried it out, nothing seemed to happen, except Edward's turns seemed to stop coming up in that battle. Reloaded and continued on.
Alright Rosa is at 15 now and I am ready to begin the ascent.

I'd probably need to recall which older version had the older stats... to be sure.
