Moody Blues. There seems to be a bug with the formation screen of this one that any characters put in the back row don't load into the battle.

Hurrah. I'm definitely going to be keeping my eye on these.
But I'll have to wait because you're ahead of me. I don't want to have my strategies spoiled.

Rofl.. forgot to set "dead" on the plague enemy. In earlier versions, "dead" was handled by an ability. Now it's handled by a different hack (special snowflakes) and I forgot completely about the eventing of this fight when I switched hacks. Sorry about that. Glad to see you beat it anyway.

If anything else you come across seems a bit off, feel free to let me know.There was another slight weirdness in your videos caused by similar oversight, but this one is being kept:

Good to see the videos are proving useful! One thing I was wondering about is if the Don't Act proc rate on shake off is supposed to be 100%. It seems to proc every time but the tooltip doesn't say it's 100%.
And here's the next video:

It is 100%. Sorry, updated tooltips now.
I love seeing videos in general. It helps me identify bugs that I haven't come across in my own playthroughs/testing. It's also nice to see the kinds of strategies people come up with. I love seeing your offensive use of reflect and such... And for difficulty curve balancing reasons, I like to see what people tend to have the most/least trouble with. So far everyone who has gotten back to me on this has been different. There have been some general trends, such as which battles tend to have the most problems for players based on their playstyle, and many battles nearly everyone ranks high. But there isn't really an "Altima" in the sense of a battle that everyone undeniably agrees is the hardest of the mod.

Not 100% sure why Baleful Polymorph wasn't working 100% as intended. A test of the move it was working fine, and it worked fine when I tested that battle. Other than that, I think you found a new favorite strategy. ^_^ Obviously doesn't work everywhere, but where it does it's disgustingly good. 
Which is a good thing - I like seeing the stuff people come up with that works.

Ah yeah, there was an earlier boss that cast it that it was working fine for. Having a look at some more extra battles since I'm going by thieves fort on my walk back to Igros.

Sorry I haven't responded to this bunch sooner. Mild spoilers:
It is interesting which battles are proving to be troublesome to some players. I want some kind of system in place as to which extra battles drop rare items and which ones aren't, based off of difficulty of the battles. But I need to gather more opinions on them to get a better idea. So far, which of these in your opinion are/aren't comparable to most ch 4 battles?

From the extra battles I've done so far Banished Fort, Paper Factory ,Public Cemetery and Emerald Weapon were the easiest. Probably wouldn't be 4s. Ruby Weapon, Cute but Deadly, Beoulve Residence, Shinobi Ghost and now Mutant Garuda in that order from easier to harder all gave me some trouble and would be 4s. I think you've done a pretty good job of matching the difficulty with the reward.

Sorry I haven't replied to this in a while. 
Don't worry, I have been watching these. So in a way, that's a good sign
because there's nothing obviously fucked up I've seen lately that requires my immediate attention. I'm not too sure why some of the weapons that are supposed to be elemental are behaving that way.
Zalbag is one of my favorite battles of the mod too, because of how the units work with each other. Fun fact - it was based off of old dev's Velius, before I got rid of the duel and decided on a unifying theme for zodiac bosses. I buffed it considerably because it's later in the game, and gave them use of some of the new abilities.

No worries, there's no rush to reply at all. Do I have to do something special to trigger the Nelveska Temple battle? It's on the map but nothing happens if I go there. Next up I opened up the DD and started on Orbonne.

Crap, there's a bug! Fortunately it's an easy fix. Will be fixed in the next version.
OMFG at that first video. Since it was designed as an "are you ready for the deep dungeon?" boss, I'd say you most certainly are.

Yay more videos! Something bugged me slightly. Not sure if you realized that Divine Intervention cancels dead as well as adding reraise. Due to the way that cancel/add code works, this is why it hits 2x.

This playthrough has my Seal of Approval!
I love your ch 4 end sequence strategies. Opinions on hardest/easiest battles?
