Antinomia: FF6

Continuing to make progress.  My cat was seriously ill last week so I had to take some time off to look after her, but thankfully she pulled through at the last minute before we were going to decide to euthanize her, so things are getting back to normal.

I'm contemplating writing my own dialogue editing tool to overcome the constraints FF3usME imposes, to allow moving both the pointer table and all three dialogue blocks to custom locations rather than be hard-limited to CD, CE, and F0.  With the pointer space I have right now I only have juuuust barely enough to add all of the new lines I need for the plot-relevant additional events, but I have no more space for fluffy optional character-specific scenes, which I wanted to add more of.

This latest batch of new events did see two new optional character scenes added, now giving Cyan and Gau some personalized scenes to find if you take them to find Terra, but until I can give myself more dialogue pointers, I won't be able to add any more of those.

The latest plot-related scene is some Leo backstory, with a new custom sprite where I just pasted Leo's head onto a regular soldier's body and gave him bigger eyes to indicate he's younger, plus a pre-infusion Kefka who is just palette-swapped because he'd still be old enough at that point in time that I didn't want to bother with a significantly different sprite (he'd be 17 in that scene, which is the same age Edgar and Sabin were in their flashback scene and they still had the same sprites).



I'm coming up to the point where Mog was originally recruitable, however now I have Leo taking over his slot.  My intent with Mog is to make him a regularly-available "guest" character kind of like how Shadow is in the first half of the game, where he'll stay in the Narshe mines but if you come to him with only 3 party members you can recruit him as a guest until you get to a party select screen, at which point he'll be sent back to Narshe.
