Divergent Paths: The 3 Scenarios

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.

Huh I'm not too sure, alls I know is when I try to patch to a clean 1.0 ROM it doesn't work for me (black screen/doesn't load) and when I patch to a clean 1.1 ROM it works.  Is this not the case for you? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

I did catch those two lines yes, and I really appreciated them. I don't mean to say that he was vacant or a carbon copy of Shadow, more that he could easily get a bit more well deserved screen time and it would go a long way - mainly for the scenes when they board the train from outside (he says nothing) and the restaurant event (he doesn't split from party/say anything). I think altering just those two things would have swayed me to not right that lol. It did feel imo like he was taking Shadow's spot just for those events, the others are all fine just fine.
