FF6 - Brave New World

(I didn't take her to the Fanatics' Tower. I wanted to see if Cyan using physical attacks could be a useful way around some undetermined hindrance. Long story short, no, that was a horrible choice XD).

We could have told you that >.>

Sabin would actually be a pretty good character, though.

Lowered base Stamina would definitely make a nice difference too, especially if the Esper Stamina boosts are reduced so it has a larger impact.

Well, it looks like the current plan is to nerf Morph so that Terra doesn't become Little Miss Damage Cap in her esper form (see the list of changes for the upcoming update below)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here's what's on our plates for the next update:

• Write out some of the more gratuitous profanity in the dialogue and add an optional patch that removes *all* of the mod's profanity (and other assorted naughtiness).

• Rework stamina to bring it more in line with the other stats (and also to make the "Immortal Sabin" build less ludicrously OP), which entails significant edits to pretty much everything involving stamina at all: new regen/seizure formulas, reworked esper boosts, adjustment to characters' base stats, and very possibly having Cyan's magical Bushidos run off of stamina.

• Speaking of Cyan, a few of his Bushidos will probably be getting power boosts (namely Tempest, Eclipse, and/or Flurry).

• Umaro will get a massive stamina boost and his "Character Toss" attack will be reworked (current plans are to remove the 8-bit cap from its battle power and the bug that prevents it from critting when Mog is tossed).

• Enemy steals have been updated again in the hopes of making it a more attractive ability, and I'd also like to tweak the formula to slightly raise its baseline success rate.

• Morph will be nerfed a bit since Terra becomes Little Miss Damage Cap in her (current) esper form.

• The Atma/Omega Weapon formula may be tweaked somewhat to make it a less nerfed weapon given the lower levels in this mod; it will lose its back-row capabilities and evasion bonuses to compensate.

• Storm will now target all enemies instead of everyone so that it'll be less shitty and actually worth casting.

• The Palidor summon will be reworked into massive *physical* damage since its current effect is kind of crappy and opens up a *lot* of bug possibilities.

• Control will be going bye-bye since it's a crappy skill that is crappy; the Coronet and Dancho Doll will be reworked into something else.

• We'll probably do something with the Coin Toss formula so that it actually becomes a useful skill.

• Discord to sets bserk/muddle instead of halving the target's level as it was discovered that the level-halving effect was working even if the attack missed (i.e. it was working on bosses, which is bad).

• Make bosses immune to Rerise (via the same method used to make fractional damage attacks always miss them) because of issues with a muddled/bserked Relm (or Gogo) setting it with the Rainbow Brush and the fact that Rerise is (somehow) preventing bosses who drop things from dropping things.

• Correct an oversight wherein it was possible to kill Chupon with Joker Doom without triggering his Sneeze-out, thus rendering the battle unwinnable since Ultros is no longer targetable.

• Correct two zones on the WoR overworld that were incorrectly set to "no encounter".

• A bunch of other smaller things that aren't worth mentioning here quite yet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, there's a few items in the "I'm currently mulling them over" phase that should probably be mentioned here:

• I want to have a look at Mog's dances and shore up the lesser-used ones; to this end, I'm considering reworking the "Specter" step (Dusk Requiem and Love Sonata) to possibly do a bit of direct damage.

• I'm thinking about having Shuriken be free-targeting, which gives Shadow an early/cheap MT option that shouldn't be too OP since the damage should still split (I've yet to test this).

• The magicite item is really crappy, and I've been thinking about ways to make it more useful for a long time now; I'm curious if there's a way/if it would be a good idea to have it summon the character's currently-equipped esper rather than a random one.
