Final Fantasy IV Research & Development / FF2/4/ET Bug: Reset and Start New Game Doesn't "Forget"
« on: October 10, 2009, 06:29:51 PM »
I had forgotten this bug for a while, but it's worth noting.
If you've selected a game, then proceed to reset the game, and then start a new game, not all of the data in reset/cleared out for the new game.
I'm not sure if this is entirely connected to Gamefaqs users having trouble in the failure to execute the Golbez event where he burns the bridge at the Tower of Babil.
It is most notable if your loaded save file has a person with the Adamant Armor equipped... it will become visibly obvious with Kain and/or Cecil.
When you play a new game, fight the Mist Dragon and make it use its ColdMist (ice elemental) counter when it is in Mist form.
You will see that the person that had equipped the Adamant Armor in the save file would take a lot more damage than normal.
It would be worth checking out how a game that has gotten though the Lunar Subterrane would be different than a normal game (seeing if any event bits have not be reset).
I assume that this bug would also occur when the whole group dies instead of resetting the game. I don't think the New Game function makes sure all the proper bits are reset.
