143(8F): ルビカンテ「ここは わたしのまけだ だが
Rubicante: My defeat and end are both here marked. Regardless …

106(6A): 「いつのひか かならず よみがえる
… on another day, I shall stand before you once more!

005(05): 「さらば
Know this, until next we meet.

It’s always nice when Moriyama’s translation is shown to have its competent excerpts. I hope the DS localisation team give Rubicante the right tone in their translation. :finger:

Quote from: Deathlike
Who's dumb idea was it to have Tellah speak in the Dark Elf's battle? He is the first to die in that tri-elemental sequence of attacks.
The only way to make his speech sound legitimate is to cast Reflect/Wall on Tellah. I don't know why he was even scripted to talk normally.

You mean this?

012(0C): テラ「くっそー‥‥
Tella: Cu—curses …

Seeing as the status induced in FFIV at 0 HP is not really “dead” or “swoon” (pah!) but actually “Unfit For Battle”, I hardly find it surprising that Tella is able to express a breath’s worth of distaste for his situation as he tastes Crystal Room floor polish. :wink: Unless there’s some other line I’m not remembering that’s also thrown in there?

Bah, the lightning message seems to be lightning and HP triggered (like 1/16 or 1/8 of the remaining HP is left).

Edit: Hmmm, it is utter randomness when lightning randomly kills Odin...

2. Rubicante counters any summon magic with Ice-2 on himself, not just Shiva.

Turns out this is only in FF4j, and removed from FF2us. I wondered why I didn't know about this. It's the only enemy attack sequence group change there is between the two versions. There are a couple other attack script changes, I'll post on those once I document them all. This one was unique, though.

That's pretty funny when he's uncloaked.

 :bump:

One I posted way back on JCE's forum, the little "HP" in battle moves based on which slots are occupied:



Priority goes from top to bottom rather than from slot 1 to 5, so most of the time it appears as it does in the first shot because you have a full party.

Also, any button (including the d-pad) can scroll/close a dialogue box except for L and Start. The entire game can be played with the second controller unless you set multiple controllers in battle, in which case you must use the controller you set for each character in battle.

A fix for the 2nd controller would be nice.

Additionally, a minor hack for the L button to reverse rotate the characters sprites would also be nice.

I'm pretty sure it's intentional. Fixed a mistake, I said R but it's L that can't scroll the dialogue box, R works fine.

Another one, if you shift characters around after someone leaves your party, save your game, and resume you can end with the wrong character on the map:



Entering the menu corrects it (as does using the R button) but entering a battle doesn't, you'll still have the wrong sprite after battle.

If you press up while at the top of the throw command's item list you can use your weapons' magic just like the normal item menu. :eek:

You cannot reequip this way though, as soon as you select the weapon it switches to targeting mode.

 :edit:

This does not apply to the GBA version, you can't press up to get to your equipment.

If you're paralyzed and try to run from battle the "Can't run!" message will flash until paralysis wears off. Only tested with one character and a dead party but it probably applies when the entire party is paralyzed too.

Well, I made Stop multitargetable (so I could test the whole party).. it seems to be the case anyways... for any status that prevents moving. You probably need only one moving character to be able to execute the running.

Statuses that matter for run prevention: Stop, Paralysis, Sleep

Statuses that should've mattered, but aren't: Berserk, Charm

 :edit:
Note that Berserk's animation only seems to work for 3 "and a half" characters.

FF4's original DK vs Paladin Cecil seems to have the DK at 4520 HP.. interestingly enough, that would be DK Cecil's HP above level 90....

When a user with Black Magic has Toad and Piggy status, they are able to cast both Toad and Piggy in the SNES version. The checks for spell availability seems to be connected to the status, but apparently the obvious exception to the rule (when both statuses are inflicted) was forgotten about.

yang-as-boss and kain-as-boss have absurdly high HP as well... compare as well golbez-as-boss vs. him in the zemus fight.  there's usually a massive HP skew towards humans-as-monsters in general... look at the various soldiers in the game.
