Insane Difficulty: WoB Ribbon - Insane Difficulty

Quick question, is the first ribbon in the World of Balance still available?

I noticed that the chest in South Figaro now gives me GP instead and wanted to confirm if it was still in the WoB before proceeding in the game or if it has been removed or perhaps moved into the WoR.

Any information I could find about this was from older versions of the patch. This question is for version 1.7.4

Thank you ahead of time.

Also, a fairly great rebalance mod. I'm not a fan of some of the language as it in my opinion heavily infringes on the character's personality. (Setzer saying he will fuck me with a rake and Relm using the word cunt was so off putting and jarring) In the future if I ever replay this I'll probably use the clean version. The only other bother I've found was some very early enemies being far stronger than later enemies which was again very mind boggling.

Besides these few discrepancies though, I am very much enjoying the game. Good job.

Nope. Only one left is in Daryl's Tomb.

Cheers for the quick response!

Only 1 in the entire game huh? Good to know.

I made the decision to axe them after watching a... certain player who overleveled to hell and back and decked out his entire party with Ribbons in the endgame and realizing how incredibly boring that made things. Status effects are a good X-factor for keeping battles interesting and a great equalizer that overleveling can only do so much to combat, which is why they're so prevalent in Brave New World.

Anyway, glad you're enjoying the mod.

I have similar issue with the dialogue, so you're not alone. It's minor but it is there, for me. I'm glad you're enjoy the game.

Which enemies did you find to be stronger earlier than the later enemies?

Repo men and Stepmine. (which I think is an excellent mechanic mind you, but still odd as I'd probably give it to a later enemy)
Leafers also do a disgusting amount of damage. I think the Sandrays in the desert also have a powerful attack, but I can't recall 100%

Basically, the enemies in and around Narshe.

I just found it super funny that I died more times going to Narshe/from Narshe + through Narshe Caves than I did in say, the Floating Continent.

Just out of curiosity, how many gum pods do you currently have?

4 or 5, although I use Locke/Switchblade quite often.

Those enemies have stronger attacks when you're higher level so that when you meet them again (after say, level 6 or 8), they attack harder. However, they're just as easy to deal with as they were the first time.

Actually, there are two in the game, including the aforementioned one in Daryl's Tomb. The other is in Kefka's Tower, not too far in.
