FFVI: Divergent Paths

Thanks for the interest. Progress has been stalled on this project in the last 3 months. I got working on my Genji Glove Item Bit hack, and the Morphenomenal hack, got stuck on both, realized I was burned out on hacking, and took an enforced break to go play some video games rather than make them for a little while. Let me answer your questions though.

 Do you have plans to give Relm a natural magic learnset?  She's the only character with latent magical ability who doesn't begin with magic, or learn any magic on her own (Strago forgot his basic spells, but maintained his Lores).  I saw somebody made a patch that gives her a learnset like Terra and Celes, with an emphasis on bolt spells to round out the elemental triangle.  Adding a third character with magic would also make esperless runs more interesting, as well as draw a parallel to the warring triad.

It's a possibility, but by the point in the story you get Relm, all of your other characters already know 20+ spells. A character with natural magic is not really needed at that point unless you're doing a specialized run. I think it's more likely that I will use an event command present in the MMMMMagic hack to give her some starting magic: Bolt, Bolt 2, Cure, Cure 2, Life, and a status spell or two.

In the patch notes for your "Everybody Rides Chocobos" patch, you mentioned an incompatibility with the graphics editor because you repointed some sprites.  Is that going to be a thing in this patch?  Or did you change your mind on that?  I couldn't tell by what you said over there.
I was debating some graphic tweaks for personal use once your patch releases (such as changing Imp to Pig, as the status is very similar to the FF4 one), and I'm wondering if existing tools will prohibit it.

The graphics incompatibility is simply because the starting and ending hex addresses are different for 6 of the sprites. If you check the notes on "Everybody Gets a Chocobo", it includes a link to a Youtube video that shows you how to replace one of the affected sprite sheets. You'll have to import it into a clean rom, then copy the hex over to the modified rom with a hex editor. I included the hex addresses of each spritesheet to make it as easy as possible.

This isn't really a question, but I quite like the premise of Banon being buried while only mostly dead, and then being swallowed by the zone eater to become Gogo.  My memory's a bit foggy, but isn't the island with the zone eater near where he was buried, too?  What a neat idea.

To answer the earlier discussion, yes, Banon dies in Thamasa in this hack, and is buried in the grave. Prior to that, we get a short scene where the espers whom Kefka has just turned into Magicite transfer their remaining power to Banon in desperation, turning him from a weakling into a serious threat. Yuma transforms into the Illumina and the Paladin Shield. Banon gains X-Fight, X-Magic (and, by temporarily borrowing Gogo's magic list, also learns every spell that any of your characters knows), and a Ribbon, making him immune to Kefka's poison spells. It gives Banon the shock-and-awe factor of Leo from the original game. When Banon dies, the Paladin Shield becomes the Cursed Shield, and is added to your inventory. If you break that curse and transform it back into the Paladin Shield, then re-visit the grave in the World of Ruin with it equipped, you will be able to obtain the Illumina. This is now the ONLY way to obtain the Illumina. Trading the Ragnarok at the Colosseum will get you a Ragnarok in return.

Finally, I'm curious how your changes with Morph are going.  Is it making Terra more fun to use in the party?  I had wondered if maybe replacing it with the Magitek menu would be more appropriate (making her a walking war tank).

The changes to the Morph Supply are going well, and are making Terra a lot of fun to use. Combined with the new spell "Rasp 2" though, I was able to take down the Atma Weapon on the floating continent in 2 turns. So... next on my list is seeing if I can make Rasp 2 not show up till the World of Ruin. (That means that ZoneSeek needs to not show up in the Auction House till the WoR.) The change that makes Revert a queued action rather than a priority action works great on the surface, but I can't get it to play well with Moprh Mayhem. I may just give up on that one.

There are two problems with giving a character the MagiTek menu. First off is that MagiTek is not balanced with the rest of the abilities. The second is that the animation for the spells assumes you are in the Magitek suit, so when you hack the ability onto a character, they slowly walk up to the enemy... and a beam of lethal energy just sort of appears from their big toe.    It looks really weird.
