Antinomia: FF6

I rewatched your "Razing of Vector" scene, and I gotta say I love it. I have a ton of event space left over in my rom after rewriting the final encounter with Kefka to actually make sense (there was around a half kilobyte of extraneous event code just in that one scene), and I have plenty of NPCs left over from rewriting Cyan's dream sequence. Long and short, would you mind if I borrowed that sequence from you?

If I implement this, I'm going to make a couple of changes, and if you're interested, you can borrow the code. First, since this is before Leo joins the team in my hack, I want to have him fight autonomously, like Cyan in the Imperial Camp. He'll be a few steps ahead of the rest of your party, and fight like he's in the Colosseum. Second, I want to have the 2 grunt troopers in Magitek Armor.

Lastly, I thank you so much for pointing out that the 3rd member of the Biggs/Wedge trio is named Piette. I had totally forgotten that from Chrono Trigger. The wounded soldier in my hack features into Leo's story, and I had named him Dak after Luke's co-pilot from the Battle of Hoth. I have now renamed him Piette, and like that name so much better.

You can utilize some of the event code if you like, but be warned that it's a bit more expansive than it might look:

1. The Vector Burning map is actually an entirely new map copied from the original Vector Burning map, with the exits all removed (similar to how the Thamasa map for the Leo battle is also a different map from the regular Thamasa map, for similar reasons).  The map also contains some modifications like added flames blocking certain paths in order to "herd" the party to the event tiles that activate the battles.

2. Despite the exits being removed, there are still event tiles flanking the north and south exits to prevent you from leaving because they both have the same X-coordinates and with no exit tiles the map allows the player to "wrap around" and get stuck in null space.

It's actually not possible to only have some party members in Magitek armor in the battle screen, it's an all-or-none thing.  I tried to edit Terra's flashback in the beginning of the game to have Terra in armor and Kefka not, because I added an additional follow-up scene after it and Kefka doesn't have a "riding" sprite so his map sprite was getting messed up if I put him in armor there.  But to remove him from the armor necessitated removing both because the "Magitek" status applies party-wide.  So, if you have the two grunt troops in armor, Leo has to be in armor, too.

Between all the scenes and battles, it's about 1.4KB of additional event code, plus new event tiles, new NPCs, the new map, and new monster data.  The three new enemies overwrite Czar Dragon, Siegfried (who I removed from the game entirely and used his sprite slot for teen!Leo), and... I think Colossus?  Some other unused boss.
