Antinomia: FF6

All right, I went through and got rid of all of the other 7F name assignments to slot A and moved Mog in the moogle battle from 0A to 0E, and this time Leo's name persisted throughout the town dialogue, but was still busted in the battle dialogue.  I did some B2 jumps after the moogle battle once the moogles were removed from the party to various other points in the game to check how the name persisted, and this is what I got.



For some funkilybutt reason, the battle dialogue's ability to process the character name enumerations is dependent on the actor profile assigned to them, and since Leo still has his $22 profile in this battle with his equipment locked rather than his permanent $0A profile, for some reason the battle dialogue can't read his name from memory.  If literally the only change I make to the code is update his actor profile from $22 to $0A for this scene (40 0A 22 to 40 0A 0A) and run it again...



(Yes, I named him Lenny to check to make sure it wasn't getting reset to the default name ).  The battle animations are also for some reason tied to the actor profile ID rather than the party member ID, so swapping from $22 to $0A means his animations no longer get called, since I modified them in the battle event script to be $22, but that's just an artifact of me only changing the profile ID to make the point about the funkiness of how names are called in battle dialogue vs. town dialogue.

So, unless we can figure out a way to both give him the Magic command and unlock his equipment via an event so he can keep profile $0A throughout, for now he's still gonna have to go by his default name until fully-recruited.

Note that I don't think I can just make $0A his locked profile and $22 his permanent one in order to give him $0A for this one section that requires his profile ID to match his character ID in order to display his name right, because I believe equipment-type restrictions are also based on profile ID rather than character ID and they only go up to $0D, so for a character to be manually equippable they have to have a profile ID from $00-$0D
