Game Modification Station / Re: New FF4 Hack Announcement

I agree as well on that it works a lot better in the narrative to have Cecil face actual difficulty Because of his class. Though on second though... maybe I should have dequiped Cecil there, eh well, over and done with.
The point of the shield is to reduce all damage from all racial enemy types. It also provides elemental absorb, but that wouldn't really do you much good unless you wanted it to. For that tradeoff, you lose some stats. STR is increased for balance reasons (and a slight incentive to use it). Unlike all the shields in this game, it provides 0 evasion... so it's intended that Cecil not be able to evade a thing (unless you prefer him naked, in that case,
) although the boss was designed to pretty much break through most evasion stats at the time.
The second issue applies more to monsters targeting themselves... probably a consequence of the first issue.
