FF3us Patch: Invisible Chests in the Phantom Train fix
« on: February 27, 2011, 02:15:20 PM »
On the Phantom Train during Sabin's Scenario, there are three treasure chests on the train which
are mistakenly invisible. One is in the caboose of the train, with the Impresario and the save
point, in the upper-left corner. Two are in the next passenger compartment after the fight with
Ziegfried. From Djibriel's FF3/6 Walkthrough:

Quote
The next room in the compartment appears empty, but this is not the case. See those two empty tiles to the left of the bench? The left one contains a Tent; just face it and press action. The right one contains a Fairy Ring, but you can't obtain it since you can't face it. Stupid programmers are the scourge of gaming. :(

This patch fixes all three treasure chests by making them visible.

:edit:
Version 1.1 adds the unreachable treasure in Narshe at the beginning of the game, mentioned by Dragonsbrethen further down this thread.

I changed the treasure to a Phoenix Down since having Sprint Shoes that early is  :omghax:

There are a few more invisible chests in the game. I know there's an invisible Ribbon in the final dungeon, can't remember where else there's one.

ah, and the mere physical presence of the Fairy Ring chest now allows you to face it?  i'm not sure i ever put that together before reading your post.  nice.

as for other invisible chests, Mnrogar's screenshots show that:

some of these aren't truly invisible like the Phantom Train chests, but rather hidden behind another graphical layer by the game due to where they are situated.

From what I saw, you're correct - all the chests on that page are hidden, not missing. I looked through Djibriel's walkthrough and didn't see any other mention of missing chests.

What about the ones in the Cave to the Sealed Gate, which show the incorrect contents? Those appear to be invisible in those screenshots, and I know you included a patch that fixes them to display what they actually give you, but that patch doesn't make them visible does it?

Are you talking about the Grand Stairway items? I believe those are supposed to be buried, and they are events, not treasure chests, so I didn't add any chests in there. And yes, I included Imzogelmo's patch which fixes what the game gives you when you trigger those events.

There are sprint shoes behind Arvis's house in Narshe, but you can't get to them because they're embedded in the rocks. There was a site that showed the location of all the hidden items based on the item data, can't remember what it was called or who ran it anymore though.

Edit: Here it is. Screenshots aren't archived, though.

I knew about most of those "hidden" treasures.  That is except for the ones "buried" in the Cave to the Sealed Gate.

Interesting. And according to the website you provided, that's the only other unreachable treasure which isn't a copy for visual purposes. I might have to move that treasure...

I always though that they put that treasure spoiler: it's a Sprint Shoes!
there for testing purposes, then moved it over one space for the actual game.

 :hmm:
5/31/16 - I have an assembly of the battle portion of C2, relocated to the F0 bank, which has both vanilla and patch code in my dropbox. I'll be updating it with additional patches as I have time. I will *not* be releasing it publicly, but ask me for the link and I'll share.

That makes sense, kind of...it would probably take more effort to remove it than to change the coordinates for the treasure event.

I should've mentioned this a lot sooner, but those screenshots are way too big resolution-wise. I can't upload them, and scaling them down would make them look ugly. I need new screenies.

119 bugs fixed and counting.

If you use the internal Zsnes screenshot feature, you will get smaller sized screenshots. I always use this when uploading screenshots with patches here.

Zsnes will also capture at the resolution you have set at, so that won't always work either.
