FF6 BC - racecave playthrough

And since i'm streaming it and it's quite short, i'll dedicate a thread to this playthrough(i won't do that for speedcave and ancientcave, i'll just put them in my channel, eventually)

What's the difference between 4xIce and W-ice? never heard about the fist one(4x) but it belongs to one of my chars...

Guess what? even this time my buckler gives undead status!

Hey Abyss... why does Banon wears 2 helmets?? the second helmet is instead of the armor, it was somehow intended or it's a bug?

The shop won't allow me to have more than 1 Bioblaster... huh? i won it at colosseum and then the shop will tell me "One's Plenty!" if i try to buy it... never seen something like that before, what is it?!?

If i'm not wrong some time ago it was reported that Fixed Dice just threw 2 dices instead of 3... well it happened to me as well... now, in the latest BC verson...

You can't buy Tools if you already have them. That's normal for FF6.

IIRC, didn't Abyssonym say that there was a chance for Fixed Dice to do that? I don't think it's a bug.

It wasn't a bug, but then I changed it to not do that anymore. IIRC you can't dual-wield Fixed Dice, maybe they don't work in the left hand?

Why wouldn't you be able to dual wield Fixed Dice? I do it all the time; it's basically my only way of beating Kefka(despite the fact that I've used many other ridiculous strategies as well).

You can't buy Tools if you already have them. That's normal for FF6.

I don't know why i never noticed it(or forgot it quickly ) but this is interesting...
Is it possible to mark other items as "tools"(for the shop) and not allow their use with tools command at the same time?
In that way you might be able to make interesting combinations like:
- you can buy warp stone, but you can't travel with more than 1;
- you can buy Megalixir, but not more than 1(that reminds me Castlevania bounds to the number of potions you can buy, in some chapter)
- you can buy a final weapon that costs 65535, but once you bought it, no more(maybe you can even break it to cast a good spell, but you won't be able to use it further until you return in the town and buy it again)

maybe they don't work in the left hand?

I just have only one Fixed Dice and i'm used to equip a weapon in R hand slot, and the shield in L hand slot, this time is not an exception.

It wouldn't work very well without additional hacking. You can circumvent it by simply buying 99 at once when you have zero.

R.I.P interesting new shop feature...

The other part of the video became part 6, god only knows why Twitch doesn't want to export this damned segment to Youtube, so i'm gonna just link Twitch page.

Yeah, Abyss... it wasn't a chain of 5 ice spells, Edgar Mimicked at least one ice spell.

Beyond Chaos: racecave mode part 7a

Few considerations: while after the 3 doors enemy definitely scales, what i noticed is that in the first 3 areas i barely noticed a boost in enemy strength, and that's not good... i mean i was always worried that each next fight could lead to a potential gameover but i was really waiting for something that will never happen...
It's just too much calm... besides that makes the impact of 4th area become even more devastating since from "no threat" it quickly turns into "AoE or 1 target one shot"(not necessarily one shot, my third group was really a bunch of wusses)

I also noticed that until i didn't move Terra from her second switch(not the one under the weight) the other group couldn't toss the weight.

Mid bosses in Kefka tower substitutes are really lame... how 'bout swap trooper boss battles in the first/second area(first 3/6 shops) and put them instead? Abyss said he ran out of bosses to use for them...

At least the third statue was a White Dragon(if we wanna ignore at any cost that he just casts spells and he's weak to mute status)

I believe that battles in which there are Opera House background voices as song, makes have to certain spells sounds weird interferences, a tad annoying...

After beating Atma i discovered that the save will appear but won't allow you to save, if you change room and then enter inside the jail, the save sprite will disappear as well
