Plans for 2.0

[SuperHario 13]

As to multi-party floating continent, storyline would need to be amended somewhat.  I forget if any justification is given to why only 3 members fight the IAF, but obviously this is done to allow Shadow to join the party upon reaching the FC.  

Would the storyline say the first group is being sent in to clear the path, then the 2nd drop team will join after?  Then you could have the IAF group be 4 members (making those battles easier, but could strengthen the enemies) and the 2nd drop team could be 3 members and they encounter Shadow.

We already have a plan for how it would work, story-wise. We've not discussed any of the specifics outside of the need-to-know circle.

You need to use your only fast character to neutralize your opponents as much as possible. Relm knows Stop now, which should help.

Cool didn't know that, is it a Esper learnable spell? Don't have the printme right now.

[BTB 353]

It's learnable from Zoneseek in 1.9, so she won't have it if you're playing 1.8.6.

[Cross 6]

Awww too bad...so who else would make a slow team work? Edgar perhaps? Or just basically leave room for a super fast damage dealer/support?

Strago himself can run crowd control even though he's slow; just focus more on attacks like Bad Breath instead of using him as a nuker.

[Cross 6]

Ohh right, Bad Breath is learnable, forgot about that. Thanks for the tip!

I like the multi-party floating continent and multi-party optional endgame content ideas.

ROM expansion, anyone?

[artemi 20]

ROM expansion is likely the direction this mod is going, but it's not to be taken lightly. Expanded space means expanded ideas, and that really risks mission creep, turning the mod from a tweak to existing structures to a full blown expansion pack, modern gaming DLC in style. Not to say it won't happen, but it's a bit of a Pandora's box when we get there. 

[Synchysi 54]

Version 2.0 will almost certainly necessitate expanding the ROM, but as artemi said, we need to be careful not to go overboard with all that extra space.

[Endarire 4]

Multi-party floating contenent: I'd like at least the option to have magitek here for one more opportunity since the base game so rarely used it and I liked it.

Final Fantasy T edition already went the "DLC" route, granted none of us english speakers can really play it since it hasn't been translated. And while I do think it's a good romhack, it definitely goes for quantity over quality at times.

Huh? Really? Didn't know that. Wait you are talking about FFT right?

T-Edition is a Japanese hack of FF6. Someone's working on an English translation atm, but it's FF6, not FFT

[Cross 6]

Ah, I have to see this, gonna check youtube or some shit.

EDIT: Interesting and cool, is it just me or does the Japanese version of the game looks cleaner than the US version?

First place I know of that'd have T-Edition playthroughs is Kain's channel:

I'd check out Poemato's stream of T-edition. He actually live translates all the text, and they are really cozy streamers. It's kind of outdated at this point now, but they said they are going to stream it again, and are working on a translation as well.

So it's "Tsushiy-Edition"? Must be a username. Thanks for linking to Mato's YT channel; I'd love to see a re-stream.

Btw, can we talk about the post office in Mobliz? I'm actually a mailman IRL and it's pretty jarring that a letter would have the same postage as a book, a record and a (somehow free) Tonic! Usually it's weight-based, then bulk-based. The actual pricing isn't my job, but I know they would at least be treated and handled differently.

I'm pretty sure that if anything's done to the quest they're just gonna shorten it.

Also, Sabin's clearly using Flat Rate Shipping because he's not very smart when it comes to the mail.

It is indeed the guy's username. He was around FF6Hacking for a bit a couple of years ago asking questions, presumably while he was working on his hack.

You would think Lola would be confused, what with her BF shipping her a letter inside an empty box, and then later changing accents.

Btw, apparently poutine isn't Canadian.

[ShadowMoses 11]

You know how you get blue a red save points, I was thinking it would be handy to have green save points in certain dungeons where you could switch party members. This would be very helpful in Kefka's Tower. Instead of warping or walking out. I took 3 party's into Kefka's tower and after a while decided one party wasn't strong enough and could use a reshuffle. 

What's your thoughts on this?

[ShadowMoses 11]

Had another idea, i might get laughed out of the topic for this one though.

i am missing 3 rages, 2 lores, and the Water Rondo dance, as they are missable after the WoB.

In the readme it says something like there is no missable items in the game, wouldn't this be great if it extended to nothing being missable?

remember in FFVIII when you could return the world before time compression? there is restrictions such as you cant enter towns.

Maybe Cid builds a time machine in the time between leaving the isolated island and getting the pendant.

Maybe not Cid cos if you don't save him the whole thing becomes missable.

if you could got back in time to the WoB there wouldnt really be anything to do except roam the over-world and dungeons and to fight enemies.

i agree its a dumb idea and could be hard to implement anyway.

its still good to get ideas going about how to make nothing in the game missable.
