Blind affects Aim in FF4a

That isn't really a bug.. it's designed behavior. If Bows+Arrows didn't have the back row bit, you would see this behavior in the original game as well. Anyways, you aren't supposed to hit 100% if you're Blind anyways.

Quote
Count kills the game instead of the monster it's supposed to

Well, it's specific to what commands you use..

Quote
Elemental change from lightning to holy doesn't work

Actually, that does work.. it's just that the lightning weakness is not removed. That's why it's documented that Lightning works well vs Barbariccia in FF4, but not in FF4A.

Quote
Enemy Yang misses high defense characters?

Not really a bug, but an intended consequence of how Kick dealt damage. It doesn't really matter what side Yang's on, but Kick would do the same in FF4 (there's just no 254 defense enemy other than Zemus's Mind to expose this behavior... Flan monsters are immune to the attack to begin with by design).

Quote
FF4a 1.0 unused weapon properties

I'd call it borkage...

Quote
FF4a forces Quake to target enemies while confused

I think the correct term is "Forgets to Retarget".. not "Forces".

Quote
Gird can be reflected in FF4a

I don't think that's a bug because it's using the spell data, which allows reflects spells to do that.

Quote
Group counters don't always work

IIRC, it is specific to summons.

Quote
Heal command uses your last potion and fails

Wow, I missed reading that.

Quote
Recall isn't magical in the SNES versions?

I think it has more to do with counter scripts vs magic.

Quote
Reflect doesn't trigger counters

Same as above.

Quote
Oversights:

Twin oddities I wouldn't consider bugs, since they will never occur in an unmodified game

Well, I did finally figure out who's Wisdom stat gets used from out of it.

Quote
And hey, if you want to cover the DS version this time:

Equipment stat modification order screws you out of bonuses

I'm still waiting for Gamefaqs to post my FAQ in the first place. I don't see a reason to list DS bugs unless my Algo FAQ even remotely covers how FF4DS handles things.

I think the major "Avenger Sword bugs" were MIA here...

I probably missed a ton of threads, finding them all would require reading through everything here. Mostly I was looking for things that never became common knowledge.

I'm starting to already catagorize said bugs, and that's already giving me a headache...  :lame:

 :edit:

Does that mean I'm done? Not even close...
