Hey just wanted to give an update on my progress with the game (v1.35 with the HP patch applied). Been loving all the changes you've done to the game and its really well done. Given the game a fresh uplift from the base game and I'm having tons of fun playing it. The HP values post patch seem perfect for the fights.
The brass dragon fight was really well done and much kudo's for it. One fix for that fight though as X can be petrified by the dragon's slow-numb and thus take 0 damage from all of brass's attacks and being petrified doesn't flag him as dead in the dragon's eyes so he doesn't use the full wipe move. This happened on my 2nd attempt of him (first one didnt know to keep him alive).
Currently level 68-70, 3 limits gotten and only 1 materia cave gotten. Man these fights are rough. Aeris Limit fight took 30 mins as she would not keep both the flames locked long enough for me to kill one so I basically osmosed all 9999 mps from each one after i made myself immune to gravity. The bomb king wasn't too bad after I exploited the fact that the little bombs can be finishing touched out of existence without them blowing up since killing them with demi (they weak to gravity) still causes them to blow up. Still trying to figure out the other materia cave bosses and how they work but that is what makes it fun.
I assume things like the Aegis Armlet, Imperial Guard, Warrior Bangle, Fourth Bracelet and Ziedrich come from the extra fights in the battle arena since they are
? on the list. I also assume that the 4 magic materia (fullcure, planet,shield,contain) and 4 command materia (double-cut, and the 3 W's) come from them as well since I did chocobo racing to S and didnt see them, they are not part of the GP buys, and dont see them on the battle arena awards list.
Also a question as well regarding master materia. Mainly the master summon materia (if it is possible to get). I notice with all the summon materia, even though they only have 1 star they are not showing that they are "Mastered" but just gaining AP. One did show up as mastered (choco/mog) but the rest like my Bahamut-Zero only gaining AP. Is this an issue with getting the master materia (or even can you get them)?
But great game and looking forward to v1.4. You've done an awesome job on the whole thing.
