ReCast FF3: War of the Magitek

From what I can tell from testing it in battler, the Armlet does nothing to increase my attack power.  I tested it with both Throw and Fight, and I saw no change in the damage.

Oops! Locke doesn't actually have 'Fight'. It's 'Capture' renamed to 'Fight' to hide his special character mechanic. I took care of it in the Fanatics Tower (Capture 'Fight' wasn't changing to 'Magic' properly) but I guess the fight boost doesn't apply to the Capture command. I'll double check it on another character (Terra probably) but I think what I'm going to do to fix it is just prohibit Locke from equipping it.

EDIT: Hmm, yeah, it's only adding like 15 damage over not having it equipped. What's up with that? There's a bunch of hex changed where the calculation used to be, but it's not documented in Hatzen08's Fair Damage. Could it be something from the bugfix compilation? I'll need to look into this more closely.

You also said in the ReadMe that "Cover is more effective if Edgar is in the back row, though his Retorts will suffer for it." However, when I tested it, Retort did the same damage regardless of row.

Hmmm, I thought Retort was row-sensitive. I don't want to risk breaking something by fiddling with it, so I'll remove that statement from the read-me next time I push an update. His fight damage will still be diminished, though, because the only backrow weapons are the gambler trappings.
Edgar is definitely a backrow character, though, throughout the game.

For some reason, I can rob Mog of his stuff during the time when I choose a scenario. Was this intentional?

Yes, it is intentional. You can use his gear during the various scenarios if you think to take it from him. Sabin benefits from wielding the mithril morningstar early. You will regret it later, though, because you'll have to re-equip Mog for a certain fight if you robbed him.
Don't fret, though, you would have gotten that equipment anyway after the scenario split resolved; Mog is set to remove equipment on the Narshe cliff.



There is a game-breaking bug at the banquet that you will need to update for, if you recruit a certain someone and don't take them to the banquet with you. You can avoid this bug by skipping that recruit, taking said person to your dinner party, or updating to v1.02. All three options will be compatible with your saves.
