A Request To Dragonsbreathren
« on: February 28, 2008, 03:48:05 AM »
It might sound silly for a hack, but perhaps a hack of the Sight magic spell would be in order? It does actually have a visual effect when reflected, but it does virtually nothing in battle like Warp does.. too bad there's no sound either.

The only suggestion I can come up to make it useful is allow it to heal the Blind status in battle only. It seems only natural. It can get "some" use when Rydia first learns it.. the Sandmoth enemy (FF2US name) attempts to blind you when it is by itself... so perhaps it has some use...

Or.. it could simply be a Blind Enemy type of spell instead (inflict Blind status on enemies).

Worthwhile an idea or no?

As a new update to your Warp spell hack.. shouldn't you also tweak Fatal/Death/Doom to be multitargetable to compensate for Warp essentially being the same spell (especially when Tellah does multitargeted Fatal via Recall/Remember).

Agreed. In fact, it would be even better if it also healed blind outside of battle instead of showing you a small part of the map. Although I realize hacking that would be far, far more difficult than the in-battle version; I'm just saying that's how much Sight sucks.

This isn't a bad idea. In my hack I merged it with Libra, in battle it has Libra's effect, out of battle it's Sight. Making it heal darkness was my first idea, I wanted to free up a few spell slots for more useful things though. I can make a hack with the darkness healing property later.

What animation does it use when reflected? I don't think it has any animation set when it's cast in battle, I could be wrong though, haven't looked at the data in a few months.

By the way, you spelled my name wrong. :tongue:

Inflicting darkness sounds like a better idea... it would make the trek at Mt. Hobs easier (the Bombs are vicious).

It's Blinkish green garbage. You'll have to see it to know what it is.

I suck at spelling.  :tongue: Fixed the title (I think).

There you go, a quick image of Sight's dummied effect.

Strange, I don't know where it's pulling that from. Maybe there's a separate list of animations for reflected spells? I think I would've noticed with the new spells in my hack though...I'll test later.

If you haven't guessed I didn't get a chance to make the patch yet, haven't even been on the computer more than a few minutes the past two days.

Ok? So, Rosa looks like a slut in this game (when I actually bother to notice the details). I mean, seriously.

I don't... sorry.

As for Rosa, her FF4A pic makes her look like some whore (not the battle pic, I meant the character portrait).

It's random, yet true.

Data East was the maker of the caveman classic Joe and Mac.  you can see some pics of Joe here:

The logo doesn't quite look like that, but close I guess.
