I have one before Saturos so I'll just hold onto that one. I only did the Lunpa sidequest for the djinni

as i have saves states set at every boss in the game

Don't save states reset the ROM's Data?

Should use save FILES to test

Yeah ... I was thinking that too, unless he uses his save states to save his game via the game, then reloads the updated version

Actually the way save states work in VBA are not attached to the ROM. If I reload the rom and access a Save state it will update itself. I tested it out to make sure. Like name changes and such. As long as I reload the ROM the changes will take effect regardless if i use a save state or not.

It's all good I originally thought that was the case but it isn't

[berenzen]

Found a small bug, not really problematic, but I found that if Garet (unsure with other characters, requires further testing), will use the Long Sword Unleash (Shatter), he will continue to do so, even if the target is already dead. I haven't tested it with other weapons just yet.

Replication should go like this:
1) kill an enemy with Issac
2) Get an unleash on the dead target. Most likely with weapons with new unleashes
3) The unleash will trigger, showing Issac getting a stunned/sealed and text disappearing. Doesn't carry over to next turn.

I just noticed it after grinding outside of Vault. Not really problematic as it self resolves, but I do believe that Garet isn't flagged as defending if this happens.

[Ehow22]

Is it the same as Stann's post? That's with an axe though but sounds like the same thing. I had the same issue with Garet, btw.

Thanks for the feedback I actually fixed this issues almost immediately when stann reported the bug. It happened because the unleashes are set up to target 0 enemies and nothing so while the unleashes will hit enemies they will also still trigger if the enemy dies. There will be an update later as I am gonna send arch my current work.

A question, i aplied the patch, but the words falen star do not apears in the games intro logo, it mean the patch was is not On ?

I think he's using the original game logo

check the gameplay to see if the patch is on

The best way to check if the patch is working is to look at your gear once you get into the game. The select cotton shirt or the short sword and check the description or look at the details.

I don't know what you intend for players to do before Lunpa, but the monsters scaling versus the Bandits and Toadonpa is ridiculous. Bandits hit for 200-300, Helm Splitter for 400-500 (or KO), and use Vials. My characters are fresh into 20 with around 6 djinn each, with about 350, 450, 300, 450 hp. For a basis of comparison, normal monsters hit anywhere from 20-80 and use nuts. Toadonpa can do 1500 damage to all four characters with some sort of breath, hits for 200-400, regenerates an obscene amount of hitpoints per turn... yeah. The scaling isn't even insane, the encounters just aren't possible. I had to use a gameshark code on the 3x bandit fight just to make it past them.

If you had looked at the change list you would know that this part of the game is meant to be end game content. I built this area to be more challenging and more rewarding. I had some requests to buff Lunpa as it was too easy for it to be considered an end game area. It is possible to beat these guys at level 35 without hacking but the recommended level is 50. once you hit level 50 you should be fine as far as being able to tank damage. Also since you are only level 20 you are lacking some very crucial skills that are needed for most end game content.

[ID Bot]

If Lunpa isn't mandatory and players can go there by choice, it's ok if it's crazy hard

[Haseo]

theres a way to make this patch but without the new skills ?

GS already have a absurd number of special attacks, i dont like the fact this patch had even more, the weapon auto special attacks apears more than the normal attacks, i do not like this, i wish only the dificulty in this game.

[grub]

You know, you could just...not use the ostensibly cheap special attacks.

No, the weapon special attacks do not appear more offen than the normal attacks; you just tend to ignore the normal attacks in your mind.

I count only 3 skills for each character which totals up to 12 total and some end game supers that are a reward for hard work. Unleash rates are set at 35% just like artifact weapons they are just more obvious due to every weapon having an unleash similar to how weapons work in Dark Dawn. I can work on a difficulty patch that is bare bones but that is on the back burner as i am working on the Golden Sun atm. Second original GS could be beaten without ever touching Psynergy I worked hard to make it viable in the long run.

[Ehow22]

If you don't like the new skills, don't use them It's not like they're overpowered or anything, they're just helpful early game, and later when you're in a sticky situation.

[Vanish Mantle]

You will more than likely end up using skills like Spark Plasma, Tundra, Pyroclasm and various other skills. I often would use them myself as well.
