As a failsafe against players that might have maxed their inventory out using a tool or save editor (or for whatever reason may not want to use certain Sources given), it does allow the player to continue out with unused Sources but will give a warning beforehand:
Mr. Smile
%u201CYou can't take 'em with you!%u201D
{CHOICE}Use remaining Sources
{CHOICE}Discard and continue
If they discard and continue, then the unallocated sources are lost permanently. The reason it's like this is because the game doesn't really have a way to check through its field script what the stats/sources used by a character are, and if Sources escape out of this menu and remain in the player's inventory then they can be allocated to different characters instead.
Also, there is no reset currently on a player's choice of Source upgrades but you can choose whichever of the 5 options each time you have an upgrade; you don't get locked into taking the same one each time.
One way to fix this is to use a save editor to go into Cloud's stats; you'll see he has 2 separate sets. One set is his 'base' stats, and the other is his Source stats; these get added together to make his final stats that you see in-game. You can reset his Source stats to 0 and then set the ones you wanted to pick manually. His Source options are:Code: [Select]{CHOICE}Ex-SOLDIER: Str+15{, }Mag+7{, }Vit/Dex+8
{CHOICE}Mercenary: Str/Vit/Lck+15
{CHOICE}Makonoid: Mag/Spr/Dex+15
{CHOICE}Duellist: Str/Mag/Dex/Lck+10
{CHOICE}COMMANDO: Str/Vit/Spr+12{, }Mag+6
So if you wanted to pick, say, Makonoid instead of Ex-SOLDIER you'd set his Source stats to 15 in Magic, Spirit, and Dexterity while setting the other Source stats to 0 (make sure to change the Source stats, and not his base stats). After that he'll be where he should be and you can just use the Source system in-game as normal when you get the next upgrade unlocked.
Thanks so much! Figured out how to get it working using Black Chocobo. I'll make sure to remember there's no reset. Gotta think how to get the party setup now.
