My ROM is functioning correctly. Is anyone else able to duplicate this problem?

Maybe try a page from Entroper's book and double-check the checksum?

Hmm... I thought this was a clean rom... I guess not? Oh well, looks like I just needed to get an actual clean ROM. It is currently working fine thus far.

I just started a new game last night and Baron Castle was fine for me.

I killed Scarmiglione 2 with Dash and he died a normal monster death. He turned all dark and dissipated instead of slowly disintegrating from the top down like a boss. The formation has the "Boss Death" flag enabled.

I killed him with Ifrit and he died like a boss would normally die so I'm guessing it's an issue with "Dash"

Weird... Could it be its use of one of the special Rydia spells, I wonder?
After all, you get normal monster deaths with the Golbez/Shadow fight. I imagine they have the boss death bit turned off, but maybe before they devised that system they built non boss death into the Rydia spell... I mean, that seems silly, but you know... We are talking about ffiv's developers here.

It doesn't mess anything up so I'm not that concerned. Just thought I'd point it out in case it does affect other battles (I'm looking at you, 8-fiend-rematch)

I just got finished with the 3 underworld bosses and here's my take on them & their dungeons

Ice Cave:Aside from the new enemy formation, it hasn't changed that much. It's still the easiest of the 3 unless you encounter the new group a lot while underleveled. Alichino falls very quickly if properly equipped and fire attacks are used. I can't comment on his healing because I killed him before he could. I was overleveled due to grabbing treasures in each dungeon first. Blizzard was odd though, it only did 2-5 damage to each character and I thought it did a lot more.

Feymarch:With the addition of shortcuts and angel wings it's worth fighting here. The battles theme here is high damage resulting in blind and mute getting a lot of mileage. I think the exp could be lowered a little on the warrior + fiend fights because the 2 warrior + 4 fiend fight gave around 9000exp which was a little much. Ciriatto 1 and his zombies are pretty easy as long as he doesn't cast Stop on each character(a high Wil Porom can keep the party healed with Cure 2 I think). Ciriatto 2 is still the hardest boss due to his unique abilities and he felt faster to me(Twins L30 & L33+ for Cecil, Edge, Rosa). I think people will always complain about Ciriatto because of how much damage he does however he fits the Feymarch's "theme"

Bahamut's Lagoon:Aside from the removal of the damage tiles along the treasure route, it hasn't changed. Draghinazzo is a little slower however like Alichino he's all about having the right tools for the job. His weakness is pretty exploitable(only Porom can't inflict dark damage) and he only has two things to worry about(Blink & Comet). Thankfully blink goes away after a few hits and Comet's damage isn't too bad.

Overall the battles are just about right but, Ciriatto 2 is still going to cause complaints. Part of the problem is that you only have 2 characters who can inflict holy damage(Edge w/ Ashura and Rosa w/ Holy) compared to the other two(Fire:Flame Sword, Fire 2, Fire Arrows)(Dark:Cecil's Darkswords, Kotetsu, Bio, Dark Arrows) I wasn't high enough for Bio but, I'm sure some people will level the twins to 33.

Thanks for the feedback!

A high enough level Porom can cast Harm on Ciriatto 2.

Blizzard is HP-based, so if he was close to dead when he casted it, it will do pathetic damage. What order did you do the dungeons in?

Ice Cave->Feymarch->Bahamut's Lagoon for treasure and for boss fights. I only had to grind when I first got the twins to get them to 22. I had forgotten about Harm, then again I didn't need it but, at least it's an option. Aside from Ciriatto, I probably could have killed Alichino & Draghinazzo before the twins hit 25 as long as I had the right weapons. You do need a good darksword and/or Kotetsu to do a lot of damage to Draghinazzo before Comet hits and of course berserk helps.

Just took on Ciriatto first. Fought all the regular battles on the way but didn't grind, got all the treasures on the way, didn't warp out along the way / single pass, bought some stuff in the store, but otherwise took on Ciriatto both forms first thing and won. It was tough, but I did it. Twins L.25, Others L.29-33. Didn't even have Cure 3. So I think it should be ok difficulty-wise now.

Now that I think about it, I could see Cure 2 being enough as long as Porom's outfitted for healing. I have to say Cure 3's probably needed for Malacoda though I may be wrong.

In theory, Kain in the back row with Diamond gear should be able to solo her as long as you don't mis-time your jumps and get hit with Magnet. But I'm not that far yet so we'll see.

I finally got the team I'm going to use for my 1st run:DK,Cid,Edge,Tellah,Edward

Lugae(2nd fight):Is he supposed to die like a regular monster? I thought he was a boss albeit a quirky boss.

Edge(Dagger build):If you gear him as a fighter, he's pretty similar to Cecil & Edward with their blood weapons. Like Edward, Edge lacks the HP & Def to stay in the front row resulting in big hits vs racial/elemental weaknesses but small hits vs others. If you treat Dagger Edge as a mage, he's the fastest mage in the game. Currently at L50 w/ Triton-Gladius Hairpin-Black Robe-Armlet with 56 agi & 65 wis. Aside from his low mp & lack of spells, he usually uses Quake and kills most enemies before anything but Edward gets a turn(Hi Agi Edward has 43 agi at L50). He's reminding me of Paladin Cecil(All out physical,All out magic or Hybrid).

Edward:Before he was pretty good due to him working well with everybody but, due to Edge being a mage Ed gets the Blk Cowl + Ninja Garb & Mage Masher allowing him to keep up and support the party better.

Bahamut after dropping Kain is working correctly with Kain remaining there and blocking access to Bahamut. The twin petrify event still doesn't feel right(Cecil yells no then hangs his head before leaving), perhaps he could say something before you regain control of him?
