Is the Granite Sword the rare drop, or the next to rarest drop? -> I don't remember.
Well, it's the renamed Medusa Sword, if you still remember.
Btw, I did say way back that you don't sell Holy/White arrows. The only time you give them is at Mt. Hobs in the treasure chest closest to Chang.
Also, remember why there is a v1.1 of FF2? Well, IIRC, it is either the certain set of enemies.. or the gradual pertrification of the Medusa/Granite Sword vs certain enemies that makes the AI go nuts and lock up the game.
Btw, regarding the Cursed Ring, when do the drops start. I would've thought the Spirit/Soul enemies would drop them.. but either you tweaked it so they don't drop at all, or they drop very very seldomly...
Should there be anything worth pointing out while playing this for a second time.. like special drops, or where the hell the Pinkpuff enemy (or equivalent) is?

Font Hacking For FFMQ
The premise is simple. 8x8 tiles programmed in binary, with 0
representing transparent and 1 representing white.
for example, 53= 01010011. This repeats itself 8 times vertically to
create a tile.
There will be two value for each row. The transparent, and the shown.
Simple rule: Both must add up to FF. If you see a tile where something
adds up to more than that, then it isn't a tile.
To see the tiles, use a hex editor of some kind. Set the row width to
64 in decimal, or 40h. The values for a tile will then line up
vertically.
I will list the starting values for said tiles. A tile, lined up with
width as told, will look like this
t1v1
t2v2
t3v3
t4v4
t5v5
t6v6
t7v7
t8v8
t=trans., V=visible.
Here are the starting bytes to each tile found so far in said format.
Compressed Tiles (For use in bottom spot of screen)
$384a4: Auto (Two tiles)
$384a8: Manual (Three tiles)
$38630: Top Left Corner
$38632: Bot Left Corner
$38634: Top Right Corner
$38636: Bot Right Corner
$38638: Veritcal line
$3863a: Horizontal Line
$3863c: Horizontal to right of name (One pixel less on left side)
$3863e: End (Three tiles)
$3864a: Compressed L
$3863c: Compressed E
$3863e: Compressed V
The following only work in talking text (I don't know why)
$38830: g
$38832: j
$38834: p
$38836: q
$38838: y
$3883A: h
The tiles for shrunk (see: level on bottom) numbers begin at $38A30 and goes from 0 to 9.
TIles $38A44-$38A4E are unknown useages.
TIles $38A50 are fullsized, from 0-9 and then A-F (F=$38A6E)
Tiles starting from $38C30-$38C6E) are G-Z (Z=$38C56), followed by a-l (l=#38C6E)
TIles starting with $38E30-$38E4A are tiles for m-z.
For the 38Exx group:
4c=!
4E=?
50=,
52='
54=.
56&58="
The others will be decoded soon, but should be punctuation, probably
running through $38E6E.
For instance, remove the Engineer class and create an entirely new one. Do you know the location of these attributes? I assume magic is an attribute of a character's class, so really I just need to be able to change class characteristics.
Consists of 32 bytes:
00: Name, Battle Commands, Equip able hands.
01: Appearance, Unknown
02: Level
03-06: Status Ailments
07-08: Current HP
09-10: Maximum HP
11-12: Current MP
13-14: Maximum MP
15: Strength
16: Agility
17: Vitality
18: Wisdom
19: Will
20-22: Unknown
23-25: Experience
26-28: Unknown
29-31: Experience for next level
7B700 (address with header):
table of offsets of level data by character id, starting with id 01:
id Name
-- ------
01 Cecil B4FB
02 Kain B62F
03 Rydia B790
04 Tellah B892
05 Edward B9DF
06 Rosa BB13
07 Yang BC47
08 Palom BD7B
09 Porom BEAF
0A Tellah B892
0B Cecil C010
0C Tellah B892
0D Yang BC47
0E Cid C112
0F Kain B62F
10 Rosa BB13
11 Rydia B790
12 Edge C1FB
13 FuSoYa C267
14 Kain B62F
These are offsets into page 0F. To derive a ROM address from this, add the table entry (remembering to reverse the order of the bytes as usual) to hex 70000, plus hex 200 for the header. You then get the address of the level-up data for level 1 going up to level 2. However, characters don't have level-up data stored for levels they have already equalled or surpassed when you get them; for example, Cecil as a Dark Knight lacks level-up data for levels 1-9 since he starts out at level 10 at the beginning of the game. In all cases the game multiplies the character's old level - 1 (IIRC) by 5 and adds it to this address to get the address of the 5 byte long data for that level-up:
byte 0:
bit 7 (MSB) Str
bit 6 Agi
bit 5 Vit
bit 4 Wis
bit 3 WP
bits 0-2
000 +0
001 +1
010 +2
011 +3
100 +4
101 +5
110 +6
111 -1
byte 1: base HP increase
byte 2:
bits 0-4 base MP increase
bits 5-7 are the highest bits of the XP requirement. bytes 3-4 are the rest of the XP requirement.
