Since y'all stepped up your game, I was wondering if you had the answer to two of my FFV questions from way back:

What are the odds of 'chest' encounters? Most chests with guardians have two possible monster formations guarding the item, and I can't recall anyone stating what the odds were. They seem 75% / 25%. Flying Ronka cannons seem to use the same technique. Definitive tables on monster formations tied to chests/event encounters would be highly appreciated since it's one of the remaining bits of information in my walkthrough that's from playtesting only.

Also, these encounters seem very static. When loading an emulator save, it's often stuck on one of two encounters, and I never did figure out what governs it. What RNG table governs the encounter choice, and how is this RNG table influenced?

My notes on this are scant, but here's what I have.

Chest information can be found at D1/3000, and is read in the C0 bank.  It's probably linked to the event system; the instructions you'd be looking for are BD ** ** to initiate combat, and F1 ** to do a branch.  I think that putting a breakpoint where the LDAs are called for D1/3000 should provide a good starting point for getting more info.

I think it's related on when the map is loaded (either from entering the area or after a fight) as I remember that in the Barrier Tower I could trigger either monster by going out and in instead of waiting x amount of time.
