Pony Fantasy VI Remake

You should stick with VAR 000-003 as he recommended, if possible. Remember you can set 7 bits for each variable, and I doubt any boss would need more than 28 different variable changes.

P.S. I was able to knock out the head from the shaking screen, it is possible to do it by editing that animation script that you said is impossible. But I'll let you try to get it yourself first this time I think as a good practice. Here's a nice hint though: try to substitute the bytes leading up to what seems like the main command for the head to appear and screen shake (the 80 89 01) with some other byte that basically does nothing important for the animation code (1F). It's not the most authentic way of removing it, but the head does not show on screen and the shaking still happens.

Sometimes you should try and try before quickly dismissing something as "impossible".
