I think I may have found the problem. You said that you first noticed this after Leo spoke to Lola. When you recruited Leo, did you have:
1. 4 members in your party
2. One of them Mog
3. But not Shadow, Gau, or Gogo?

In that specific set of circumstances, a typo would activate in the event script that, instead of checking for 4 characters in the party, would check for character #4 (Shadow). If he was not in your party, The script would force out the actor with the highest character ID, which, in absence of Gau ($0B) or Gogo ($0C), would be Mog ($0A). however, it wouldn't properly dispose of his object, and if he were supposed to be displayed as the main character, would keep him in the last pose he was in during the event scene (facing downward). Reloading the game from a save file would refresh all of the objects correctly, fixing the issue.

I will fix this in the next patch. It is seen as a low priority for now.

1 and 3. But I should mention, the order I did things was: Recruited Leo, recruited Mog, fought Tritoch, fought and recruited Umaro, then I did the event with Lola cuz I forgot to do so until then. All these events I had a full party of 4, with the last 3 events having Mog in the party. None of these parties had Shadow, Gau, or Gogo. So I have the feeling it was one of the last 3 events I mentioned, so I feel like it's a problem with either Umaro's recruitment event, or the event with Lola.


If you ever feel useless, just remember that Umaro has an MP stat.

Huh. I've gone over the Umaro recruitment event, and I can't find any oddities. The Lola event is unchanged, save for checking for Leo instead of Cyan in all relevant spots. I'll check again tomorrow.

For tonight's victory, I fixed the bug with Gau's Father's scene, where it would freeze after Gau learned Fight. The details are too in the weeds for me to go into here though.

I'm hard at work on the Ancient Castle sequence, and have the text rewritten with added event triggers that won't allow you into the caslte unless you have both Leo and Terra in your party.

Having a little trouble. I applied the patch with Lunar, but depending on which FF6 rom I use, it either plays a chiming sound over and over again and never starts or a bunch of random colors appear and never starts.

I'm at a loss. Never had this issue before. It may be something I'm doing wrong, but I don't know what. Does the SNES emulator need to be a specific one? The ROM a specific version? Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: NEVERMIND, I solved it with a utility.

Hey, could you tell me how you did it? I'm having the same trouble here!

Sure. I used snesROMutil. It will patch it and create a new file with the patch working.

Lunar IPS and some online tool I tried didn't work. I don't know why.

 You mean the Final fantasy 3 rom itself? I tried patched the ff3 rom 1.0 but when I played it, the game crash.  Sad

I am having the same problem. I can't enter a fight sequence without the screen going black.

I had that same bug with the Mog sprite happen to me shortly after I recruited him (between the Magitek Research Facility and the Cave to the Sealed Gate) but his sprite returned to normal after the Floating Continent became airborne in the WoB. Happened when I placed him at the lead of my party.

Huh. I wonder if it's something to do with the "Choose a Scenario, Kupo1" setion, and it affects Mog when you recruit him, but there are various points in the game that reset it correctly. The Mog that you get for the "Choose a Scenario, Kupo!" screen in the base game is actually written to Umaro's slot ($0D) in the vanilla game. It's fine in the base game because Umaro isn't accessible till the World of Ruin. Since I have Leo in slot $0D, I had to switch all of the scenario interludes to slot $0A, which is Mog's normal slot. I will look into that.

Hey, made it really far into the beta so I wanted to ask - Which events should I avoid triggering for now?    I'm assuming the dialog where you reach the Ancient Castle for the first time (supposed to have something between Leo and Terra) and the Earth Dragon battle in the Opera House (since I can't seem to recruit the 16th character yet).  Is that all?  What about the dialog that occurs before you land on Kefka's Tower for the first time?  Assuming that I would end up missing anything new once the beta gets patched.  Otherwise, please disregard.  Also, the Mog sprite issue has been coming and going ever since I first recruited him.  It seems that when I put him in as a leader when editing teams on both airships is when it happens the most frequently.  I can provide save states if asked.

Yes, please send me a save state. I want to see this issue, and mock up a few events that I think would correct it. Please also let me know which emulator the save state is from so I don't have to guess.

As far as what to avoid:
1. Opera House - Nothing to avoid here. Feel free to play. When I add in Kappa, she will just appear in the lobby as an NPC. I have removed her from the Earth Dragon battle custcene.
2. Ancient Castle - Avoid.
3. Kefka's Tower - Avoid.

As for things you should DEFINITELY do, so you don't miss out on them in the final patch:
1. Do the letter sidequest in the WoB
2. Save Cid's life
3. Save Shadow's life
