Ah, I see.
Don't see how that'd change much...

Close enough, it's Caladbolg.
That would've been pretty interesting. But there again, being able to ignore defence right from the start would give too much power against certain bosses (one of the worst offenders being Defender X)...

At least you're one skill closer to completing your Enemy Skill.

Anyway, I think it only does that in the original japanese version...

Troubleshooting / Re: Win 98 SE or Win XP?

« on: 2008-04-13 10:00:04 »

What's the processor speed/model and graphics memory?
A good soundcard would help too, although probably not as important as some other things.

Definately go with 98SE if it's for older games. Although make sure you can find drivers first.

It's one of my most hated parts in the game, tbh... the first one is interesting, and the second one (during whirlwind maze) is quite short so it doesn't bother me, but the one in Mideel really pisses me off... even the first time I played...

Hm, I haven't yet tried a low-level challenge... I did No Materia once and I was very disappointed with how easy it was... (Midgar Zolom was pretty much the only thing that gave me major trouble)

If it's a monster skill, perhaps you could put the final Sephiroth model as a custom enemy, and have him use the skill, just so we can see what it's like?

Also, filling in the blanks... Master Support and Master Independant might be interesting, dunno how practical to make they'd be though...

Although as with Master Command (and unlike Master Magic and Master Summon), you'd have to be selective about which ones it included. For example, if Master Support were to include Final Attack, you could easily link Master Support - Phoenix, and equip a Master Summon so your use of Phoenix wouldn't be limited. Thus, invincibility, unless you run out of MP or get Petrified. (and a Ribbon/Safety Bit nicely takes care of the latter)

Just my opinions on them:

Master Support: All, Elemental, Added Effect, HP Absorb, MP Absorb, Added Cut(only if a way to disable this on curative spells can be found), MP Turbo, Steal As Well, Counter, Magic Counter, Quadra Magic, Sneak Attack. (Excluded: Final Attack)
Master Independant: Cover, Chocobo Lure(sure, why not?), Long Range, Counterattack, HP Plus (+50%, same as a mastered HP Plus), MP Plus (see note on HP plus), Magic Plus(same), Speed Plus(same), Luck Plus(same), Gil Plus, Pre-Emptive, EXP Plus, Mega All (Underwater just wouldn't be possible, I guess... also excluded Enemy Lure and Enemy Away for fairly obvious reasons, and HP<->MP for very obvious reasons... maybe should exclude Chocobo Lure too, I dunno). And of course if they were made, include the Break Limits.

I guess this is more hypothetical though.

Archive / Just an idea... Break HP Limit / Break MP Limit / Break Damage Limit materia?

« on: 2008-04-06 13:01:48 »

How possible would that be?

So that, to break the limits requires certain materia equipped?

Edit: Also nice for custom enemies, would be making certain attacks only able to break the limit, while other attacks can't. And indeed, being able to give characters attacks that can always break the limit, and others that never can. (perhaps Bahamut Zero, Shadow Flare and Pandora's Box... KOTR + BDL would be overkill, so it should never be able to... things like that. Maybe Ultima for BDL as well, whereas Comet2 should maybe be another restricted one)

Hm, playing in Japanese wouldn't be that bad if you can speak it at least a bit.

And it wouldn't be as hard as say, playing Phoenix Wright in Japanese (yeah, I've tried, so far I'm up to the second case in the first game...)

Troubleshooting / Snowboard Minigame

« on: 2008-04-02 02:01:28 »

Okay, I've seen this posted before but don't remember the solution...

I'm on Windows XP if that matters.

Chocobo race, no problems. Motorbike game goes fast but doesn't crash or anything. I have the crash on music change VERY occasionally. But the snowboard minigame crashes.
What's the fix for this?

Eidos is the name of a game company. It's nothing to do with the language.

No point putting unmastered Materia on Missing Score, as it has zero growth. (As do all ultimate weapons, except IIRC Aeris's)

The lower the level is, the more often you'll get to use a limit, remember... so you might find you get more out of six attacks than seven, if you get to use it more often.

Maybe it's to do with if at least one stat is over a certain value?

I noticed that Midgar Zolom with HP at 28k is unsensable with Vit and Mag at 255. Likewise, the same Zolom with everything (but HP) at 1 except level at 99 is also unsensable. However, returning that Zolom to it's original level it can once again be sensed.

So I'd say that HP, at the very least, isn't the ONLY factor.

Hm, Carry Armor has 38k HP doesn't it, but IIRC it can be sensed...

What exactly determines whether or not a monster can be sensed?

I read somewhere it was to do with how much HP they have, but then I found that a bit of customization even with under 30k HP made them unsensable, and I'm sure I've seen monsters in the original game with over 30k that are sensable. (Maybe I'm just remembering wrong...)

So there wouldn't be a way to have an enemy immune to Poison status but still vunerable to the element?

(Although that being said, I never added immunity to the status either. Maybe it was a problem with Scenester - when using Hojo to edit from scratch, this problem didn't happen)

Even just being able to automatically insert the AI script, even if we still have to write it ourself, would be nice.

Just so we can edit that (and attack data) without having to mess around with a hex editor.

(Exactly what I mean is, even if we still have to write the code, but the program inserts it in the right place and puts in the pointers and stuff)

Some keyboards have trouble with certain key combinations.

Try reconfiguring to use different keys, or use a joystick or gamepad if you have one.
