yay my wait was worth i will play the game again thanks to you if i found somthing always count on me gi

How will 1.7.0 save states play applied to a new updated rom?

Sounds good man, hope it goes smooth! Just remember to start a 100% new game this time, and to patch to a clean ROM.
EDIT: unless you are playing 1.7.0 already, it is okay to patch over a good v1.7.0 ROM.

Also I forgot to say in the change log, the difficulty names got renamed after some discussion, easy is now called normal, and then it goes up from there.

Also I forgot to say thanks to you guys for playing and reporting the issues 1.7 had, so thank you guys! I appreciate the thoroughness of the testing and playthrough in order to find such bugs. Hopefully now there will be NONE. That's right, none, I'm going to go ahead and curse myself right now and get it over with lol. Seriously though I'm feeling pretty good about this update...

one more thing i have also the same feeling Gi that will be fun to play all over again

I wanted to make a suggestion: having the names of Ronan's combos above the button press inputs in the combo menu screen. The Blitz Screen mod does something similar. Thanks for the mod; it is awesome!

^ that has been implemented in this latest (soon-to-be-released) version!

I bet you are getting tired of hearing from the 'Gemma Sword' guy! I am glad you are making sure the Original Item Names and Esper Restriction patches are working for version 1.7.2! I am looking forward to that! Also, the Level Averaging works, but i don't know if it does when reacquiring party members (like Cloud on his personal mission).

it does work but its not as noticeable on higher level units....... the lower level the unit is when reacquired the more up to snuff they will be (for me i stopped using serin shortly before i started the "conference" at the black rose empire building which had him at around level 20-25....... when i got him back in WoR he was in the mid 30s to low 40s but someone i used a bit more frequently like say avalon was at around level 32 by the end of the floating continent but was level 37 when i got him back)

What about having an option in the Config menu to default set the holding of the B button to either dash or walk? That way you wouldn't have to hold the B button all time to sprint. I saw this in the Brave New World mod.
