Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / Re: Scripted Battle Screws With Spell Multipliers

« on: March 23, 2008, 12:28:54 PM »

The spell multiplier seems to be as follows:
Golbez-Tellah: All spells other than Meteo have a multiplier of 1/2.
Zemus: All spells other than W-Meteo have a multiplier of 2.

Wouldn't it be a bit more viable to make a custom potion, rather than using the existing potion? There you can manipulate/control the item's spell multiplier for your own purposes.

Your finding on Yang's Power command makes me wonder if the Defense multiplier is also affected...

So tired... I kinda missed while reading that. Oh well.. now it's actually remotely useful... a weakish-Tellah Cure3 isn't bad for healing.

Not EG, normal Zeromus's first form can be killed with the Grimoires.

Why would you do that in the first place... other than to keep the Crystal...?

Maybe it should have had a low hit rate like Piggy to compensate? That would be the most logical option.

I personally think this needs to be looked into... either by script or battle script...

Killing ZeromusEG without using the Grimoires is easy in FF4A anyways.

Upon some realization I had many days ago... yes, there is no Mech protection on equipment until FF4A... HOWEVER, the monsters that actually are Mechs only cast magic.

It's relatively tough to test since the damage variation is relatively insane and low magic defense equipment barely does much vs Big Bang.

Seriously, is the rumor of it reducing damage from Big Bang true... or what the hell is up with this item?

I'm just doing post-70 leveling up in FF4 (it is painful, mind you) and have fought many of those Count inducing floating POS monsters.

The Count attribute as far as I can tell is simply an individual timer that goes down as time passes, irrevelent of Haste/Slow/Agility. Nothing influences it other than Stop, so go figure. I don't know what you guys have seen, but you need to find a way to reproduce the behavior you describe so I can test this properly.

Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / FF4's Warp Spell

Is there any dummied/unused code that this spell was supposed to use?

I almost get the feeling it was a preliminary Return spell (think FF5's Time Magic).

It is worth point a minor detail. Exit is used is part of the event and executes the animation, but it really isn't "Cecil" that is animated, but whoever the lead character happens to be.

Warp has a weaker animation where the character just puts up their hand... go figure.

Code: [Select]

86 9362D-936A3 Cecil spinning (visual effect 0B, Exit spell?)
Based on your description, this event has to be when Rosa teleports the party out of Zot back to Cecil's room in Baron before Zot is destroyed by Barbariccia's dying magic. Rosa says something like "Hold On To Me" or whatever and then casts Exit/Teleport.

I looked at the Hex and the routine contains, as you mention, the Exit spell being added to a list. It is List $07 which is Rosa's white magic list.
 
That is the only white magic spell Rosa doesn't naturally learn (Dummied white spells in FF-II notwhithstanding). However it always shows up in her spell list after you rescue her from Zot.

IIRC, Exit is added back when Rosa rejoins.. not during that exact event.
