Yeah, I've considered testing those, but haven't had time yet. Maybe for my next mini-project.

Well, the one thing about Count that is interesting is when it is used during a back attack. The timer's text above the characters heads are reversed.
I did see this before on SNES, although I don't remember if it was FF2US or FF3US.

I'm pretty sure I got ambushed by a FatalEye, though.

More Count weirdness - In FF2US (no clue which version, I lost that cart a decade ago), if you hold down the confirm button (to keep choosing Fight), Count will reset itself upon passing 00.  This makes the battle with Plague virtually impossible to lose.

Didn't work for me, emulating FF2us through SNES9x.

It's possible that instead of the Count resetting, it simply stayed at 00.  Either way, characters simply did not die.  In the other thread, it is mentioned that entering commands slightly alters the speed at which the countdown occurs - could this be related?

Just in case there was any confusion, what I'd do is simply hold Confirm down the entire battle.  Boring, but nobody would die.

I wonder if this has anything to do with battle speed though...

Incidentally, Iā€™m very sure that in the SFC version of FFIV, Dispel would remove Reflect if Reflectā€™d off a battler of the opposing side.

Is this conviction unfounded? I did actually test this a few years back, and was fairly sure it wasnā€™t just the Reflective barrier wearing off ā€¦ <__<;;

Hmmm... I actually forgot to do the Evil/Wicked Mask test. Dispel does actually remove Wall after it is reflected. I set my ATB to a speed of 1, plus set it to Active, so the game updates a relatively slow sometimes. You're correct. This Dispel version sucks though (it should ignore Reflect so it works more like the other Dispels in other games).

I donā€™t know about that. Making Dispel ignore Reflect is silly when thereā€™s already a mechanic for making spells hit Reflectā€™d foes. ;D


I just remembered I made this ā€œproofā€ a while back for a discussion on GFAQs. A little-known fact is that a TIME PARADOX is caused by Yang and Edgeā€™s presence in the same party ā€¦!

Well, normally, Yang and Edge are never in the party together. This appears to have been a file I manipulated with cheat codes. (Not a big deal, just jumping the shark, I guess.)

Cheating is fun. Yang and Edge in the same party would be pretty cool. Let's get rid of Cecil. :D

Yeah, thatā€™s a great ā€” wait a sec! Oooh, youā€™re trying to trick me! >:(

Instant game overs in scripted battles arenā€™t really ā€¦ good. :finger:

I blame that solely on FuSoYa and Golbez's inability to deal 9999 Meteor damage consistantly.

I'll post this although it may have been mentioned already.

Dispel does not remove Stop when Stop status is inflicted on the characters. It only gets removed if Count status is involved... and Dispel does work on enemies with Stop status... which means someone really fucked up here.

Oh, I thought Deathlike2 meant there was some sort of gameplay error. That would be  :lame: , although not too surprising.
