FFVI: Divergent Paths

This frees up space in the rom for 23 more NPCs, gives me 23 event bits that I can use to manipulate NPC behavior in other areas of the game, and frees up 1500 bytes of event code, which is a LOT of real estate to work with.

Are you talking about NPC bits or event bits? The characters event bits are multipurpose and if reused could break events elsewhere. If you talk about NPC bits, nevermind this message.
