No, I remember this correctly--There's a forcefield if you don't have Rydia. If you go there before getting Leviathan/Ashura, you can go talk to the king and he'll tell you to and go visit the Land of the Summons. Not sure on the DS  version. and we have no money.

Dragonsbrethren is right -- the forcefield that turns you away is removed when you defeat Cagnazzo (using event flag 06). You can get by it after that, but Odin will tell you to return after visiting the Land of Summoned Monsters. He'll say this until you visit; here's something I didn't know, however, that I found out in confirming this: the event flag for Odin's battle is set at the entrance of the Cave of Summoned Monsters, where Rydia says, "I came here on my way from the land of Summoned Monsters! Let's ask for help!" You don't actually have to visit Asura and Leviathan, you should be able to battle Odin after that. Anyway, there's today's tidbit.

thanks for the clarification.  i only saw this because this was the first playthrough of ff2/4 ever where I forgot to clear out the east tower before mauling cagnazzo.

I guess Odin's message was literal, and yet lame. 

Is the Bahamut check beating Leviathan (just in case it's different than I expected)?

[bond697]

so, anyway, i bought a ds action replay today.  what's with this "takkei tail" ? should i try winning one and going to cash it in? may as well...

[Dragonsbrethren]

I don't know if it actually exists or not, it's just a text string, I'm guessing the item is there but it's probably not set to do anything. By all means try it though, it'll be cool if you do get something for it. I'm really more curious about those dummied weapons, whether they still have stats and models.

[bond697]

tail did nothing...

this is what i have for the weapons:

are any of those dummied? or do you have the bytes for those (dummied) weapons that i could input?

[Dragonsbrethren]

The dummied weapons' strings come directly after the normal ones, try these:

020D7A80 000117DD Item 1 - Dummy Lance
020D7A84 00011A33 Item 2 - Dummy Katana 1
020D7A88 00011A34 Item 3 - Dummy Katana 2
020D7A8C 00011AFC Item 4 - Dummy Staff
020D7A90 00011C26 Item 5 - Dummy Whip

That should get you all of them, if they're actually in the game.

[bond697]

ok. gonna enter these right now...

ok, so the game screwed up and wouldn't load...

gonna add in another code to bypass the save game "protection".

2
well, the dummied lance freezes the game when you try to enter the inventory.  i'll try them all once and see what happens...

3
yeah, they all freeze the game.  ah well, at least now i have the one rainbow pudding that i've been trying to get for 2 weeks!

4 i try to keep up with the ff4ds board when i remember. considering that all the codes i got for my ar(tons, has to be near 1k if you count all the different item codes) came from gfaqs, you'd think that if there was a dummied weapon, someone would've found it by now.

[Dragonsbrethren]

Bah, they must've cut them entirely or never got around to adding them at all. I should have known, since all the other dummies have their names still. Do you have codes for key items? I'd like to see if the MP Efficiency augment actually works, it's supposed to cut your MP use in half if I remember the description correctly.

[bond697]

yeah, i can pull any key item i want. 

let me find that set for you...



same instructions as above for the codes:

238C Goblin

23C3 Safe Travel
23C6 Darkness
23CE 's Love

*note the large gap between c6 and ce.*

i wonder what was there. they must've cut a few augments out of the game.

2

WAIT! i just f0und a code for mp efficiency in the coees i uploaded to my ar from gfaqs.  it's already there. the augment does exist.

i also see an omega tail code and a zemus tail code. - cf and d0, respectively, now that i think about it.

[bond697]

ok, adding that augment into my inventory now...

gonna try giving it to rydia...


hmm, that didn't work. the game froze at the inventory screen...

i wonder if it's the code or what? let's try experimenting...

ah well. i think it's the same situation as the dummied weapons, cause now it's working beautifully sans-ar codes.

[Dragonsbrethren]

Just out of curiosity, try using a code for a non-dummied item, see if that works correctly.

[bond697]

yeah, that was the first thing i tried.  all the other items work beautifully.

[Deathlike2]

Is there some sort of stat cap change in FF4DS? In my recent posted link to a dumbass that doesn't get it, he's suggesting that this has changed somehow (I doubt it, since it makes no sense to me).
