FF6 - Brave New World

1: When you bid 16 000 GP for the imp robot, somebody outbids you with a bid of 15 000. What a cheater !

I thought we'd fixed that >.>

2: If you lose the Opera House sequence once and then go back in the next day, Ultros spouts an empty dialogue box.

Damn, and I thought we'd found all of the empty dialogue boxes.

I'll have to remember to hunt this one down and put something appropriately lemony/easter-eggy in it.

3: When I slept at the beds in Kohlingen, Locke got into the bed several seconds later than the other characters. Unfortunately, I can't remember what I was doing beforehand anymore. I can give you the save state if you want, though.

I have no idea on this one. Is it repeatable?

4: One of the people in the school at Narshe says,
"Condemned"
When the timer reaches zero,
you dead.
If this is a reference to something, ignore me.

It's not a reference, it's just some gratuitous bad English.

5: When is Discord supposed to work, and when is it supposed to fail? When I used it on Hidon, it would say that the attack had missed, but after several uses, his damage was suspiciously low.

Discord utilizes the "miss if immune to ailments" bit, which causes it to miss against anything that's immune to bserk (which Discord now sets).

It employed a similar tactic in the original, instead using a special "miss if death immune" bit that used death immunity as a way of preventing cheesing it and fractional damage attacks against bosses (and, by extension, most of the enemies in the game that you might actually want to use them on). These two bits *should* function identically in theory, and I don't see any reason why discord's effect should take place even if the attack misses, but I can't say that I've ever tried spamming it against something that it clearly wasn't working against.

6: Counter-attacks that are Reflectable get used upon the enemies' death in the Fanatics Tower. The problem with this is, if the enemy using the spell is the only enemy on the field, and it dies, counterattacking with one of these spells (the offender I'm thinking of here is Rasp), and then that Rasp spell gets reflected, the spell has no target. In this case, it causes the game to lock up for a while, though it eventually unfreezes.

Hmm... someone pointed out a similar problem they noticed in the Stooge battle (I forget how they triggered it). Apparently, the game does weird things when it can't find a valid target for a Rflected attack.

I'm wondering whether I should address this by changing the enemy scripts or if it might be more prudent to address the root cause of the problem. I'll see what Synchysi has to say about it.

7: Because the Holy Dragon absorbs Holy, it can be attacked with Cure, Cure 2 and Cure 3. I have a feeling you know about this issue already, as none of the other enemies in the hack absorb Holy, but maybe you can make the Holy Dragon nullify Holy instead to make this issue less apparent here?

Yeah putting the holy element on curative spells interacts *really* wackily with elemental resistances. The White Dragon is the only enemy in the game with any resistance to it whatsoever, since I opted for the consistency of it absorbing its own attacks over the bug that it can be attacked with cure magic.

8: Odin's description is:
"Death - All foes
Uncoutnerable

9: When you talk to Gau's father to start the cutscene where Gau meets him, he says:
...and you wouldn't
BELEIVE how bad the toilet's
been acting up.
I before E, except after C

Both of these got fixed in 1.1.4

That first one in particular has been pointed out a lot... not sure whether I'm glad that people are paying such close attention to things I thought would be overlooked or ashamed that I missed it for as long as I did.

Anyhow, glad you're enjoying the mod. Let us know what your Kefka's Tower lineup ends up looking like - I'm always interested to see peoples' final loadouts.
