Submitted to RHDN...

Anyways, there is something to discuss further... a more comprehensive rebalancing/making use of the other unused bits...

With what I've already posted, now it has a readme to go with them all...

I should really just start another thread on the proposed changes in a more comprehensive FF4 rebalancing hack.

Ok, I've covered all the weapon+armor, but not the other items and FF4 specific stuff...

I've been thinking about this for a bit. I'm thinking of simply doing a seperate patch altogether for weapon-data changes (SNES versions only) in order to produce a "rebalancing" hack that makes more sense for this game.

All the Shields and Hats are done... at least up to this point anyways.

I'll see what I can do.

All these extra bits are not worth posting until there's something to associate those bits with...

The weapon section is done.. but not the armor or any of the FF4A specific stuff... yet

Someone apparently goofed when porting FF4 to FF4A... the Holy Lance's price/value in FF4A is the sell price of the weapon.

They have, but as far as I know pairing two of the same type won't result in increased damage.

Right, but my point was that if people didn't bother using their brain and testing out stuff. They are guessing out of their asses.

Although, I wonder if the evasion data is actually being applied.. instead of the two boss monsters that actually take advantage of this. It seems to me that way anyways.

Unless things have fundamentally change in terms of claws and how their work in FF4DS.. I could swear the brain does not work in the FF4DS forum.

You're correct. You could, of course, modify the routine to use the spell power byte, and go about it that way. That's probably the most compact method.

Yea..  the spell power byte having no influence is annoying.

Just remember that defense/magic defense stats are capped at 255, unless you manage to change that.. well, maybe for magic defense, since spell power can be at 1020 or 255*4...

 

Then again, monsters with racial modifiers are usually vulnerable...

 

Just in case it wasn't already known..

Counter/Needle's spell power is always 2*attack power (unaffected by statuses)

Also, Twin's power is determined by slot position (the character in the earliest slot has their Wisdom used for the calculation). This has changed in FF4A, where it is based by Agility (which means Porom is selected by default unfortunately).

What the heck happened to Black Chocobo's in FF6? Did they eat themselves into extinction or did they go the way of the dodo? 

I need an answer
