Divergent Paths: The 3 Scenarios

Hey, thanks for all the tips and pointers, and especially for finding the bug.

I'll look into adding Edgar a bit more on the Phantom Train segment. Your suggestions are all good. It'll mean finding space and creating subroutines, and I'm a bit hesitant to do that because I'm going to need to reserve a fair amount of bytes for adding Shadow into Locke's scenario. So we'll see. I thought about having him on the platform after Cyan sees his family leave, but decided against it because I wanted it to be Sabin/Edgar's scenario, not just Sabin's. It felt odd to choose one of them to be in the party and one to stand to the side. I guess for the "exiting the train" sequence, I could just swap Edgar/Sabin for pretty much all of it. I think I'd like to do that when the barmaid in Nikeah flirts with Cyan, because Edgar could have some fun lines there. I'm not going to change much about Cyan's reaction to the Phantom Train, because he is the one who knows the lore about it. Sabin/Edgar are clueless.

As for the secret chest in the military camp, I have played and beaten this game about a dozen times, and I didn't even know it was THERE until I started hacking the map! Maybe I'll stick it back there with a "Tent" and just create an event tile where you fight Telstar. I always thought that Edgar should gain "Flash" from the Telstar, so an event tile would allow me to do that.

Gi Nattack, I've checked my original files, and FF3usME lists both the original ROM I was working from and the patched version as v1.0 Headered.

I am also wondering about your comment that Edgar took a backseat on the Phantom Train. When you boarded the train and found it was locked, did you get the line of Edgar saying that the train is just a machine, and that he can disable it if they get to the engine room? Or the line about him forgetting his grappling hook? I'm wondering if we're running into a version mismatch here.
