Seiken Densetsu 3 Sin of Mana - Discussion

no idea, others didn't have that problem.
and the dumbest solutions I've heard for a mod problem and that allegedly worked was simply renaming the rom from .sfc to .smc - I'm so done with this with this ghost hunt...

Why does my items sometimes get reduced to x5 when I buy it up to x20? Is this an unnoticed bug or something

Edit: actually, not specifically up to x5 but I noticed some of my items are randomly reducing their quantity at some point(I still don't know what's the trigger). Not disappearing but reducing.

we had that already on discord, noone knows what triggers it or how to reproduce it - if you find out tell me.

[Kei 4]

Sounds like it has something to do with the in-battle item limitations, but I didn't play this patch yet so no idea

damn tzenker boss fights annoying if you havent built up enought tec and she decides to cast supersonic u basically have to reset it  needs a nerf

wrong spell name

[Nesouk 49]

Equipped your characters with either Dream Res ring from Byzel or MindStatutResist helm from Dwarf Village to get immune to Moogle, doesn't make Tzenker easier per say but at least it prevent being fucked up by Moogle.

has the genova boss fight been changed? halfway trough my attacks stop connecting

This is a glitch as far as I can tell it happens, if he receive to much hits to fast, combine with the hits his mobs receive, it seems the game just can't keep up at one point, my suggestion to avoid this would be try to space your attack, let the game catch a breath here and there and it should work.

[Pesukarhu7 0]

i had duran not attack anyone at all and only heal but it still happens does the original have this bug cuz ive never expirienced this before

[Nesouk 49]

When I say spacing your character, I mean with the character you control to attack, the glitch can happen even if you have only one character attacking, and I think Kevin and Hawk double hitting especially doesn't help.

[Pesukarhu7 0]

so im fucked as i have kevin and hawk as my other party members

Looks good! General question since you're putting out new versions of this mod pretty frequently at this point: how safe is it to use save files (SRMs) from older versions, let's say post 2.0, with new versions? Should any problems be expected, or would you just recommend restarting if the player wants the new version?

[praetarius5018 111]

srm should be safe, savestates likely not

Big changes to Hawk this time! Does Shuriken still cost 8 MP to cast?

I love the overall simplication of the cast time and spell damage system :-)

Edited May 8, 2021 by rpschamp

[Nesouk 49]

Still cost 8MP according to the doc.

Actually, after these changes, since I was planning to start my new run today, I think I'm moving to Dark Lise, Angela, Carlie; I've grown a little bored of Dark Hawk, and Fenrir Knight is looking pretty damn good :-) Time to reboot the Femmes Fatales!

[Nesouk 49]

Well Dark Lise is pretty damn good in a caster party regardless of which class, Dragon Master amplify Anti Magic making the target weak to everything if they have a weakness is a good asset especially if your caster(s) can't cover every element, and Fenrir Knight counter is very good for MP management.

There is also the combo Prae mention in his suggested party where you can get Evil Shaman and Lise with INT capstone and get twice the effect of Evil Shaman's Final Weapon (the biggest benefite being that with 2 Evil Shaman's Final Weapon and Lunatic you effectivly reduce boss's HP by 38-39% ^^), TBH this INT capstone has some great potential combo, with Angela's Archmage final weapon get both with this weapon and you'll be able to deal double damage on weakness with both (think that combo work best with Starlancer, Dragon Master has more Element coverage but her Final Weapon is to good to pass, Starlancer has 3 element covered and her Final Weapon while nice (especially for Marduke) isn't as important + Archmage cover debuff already). One combo I'd like to try one day is with Death Hand, get INT capstone Death Hand final weapon and tech build on both break these defenses into pieces XD.

[rpschamp 0]

Nesouk as usual you are way ahead of me; I think Lise is a better choice than Hawk here for a number of reasons, but I will respond with more after I play a bit. Thank you for your input!

[Nesouk 49]

Well Lise is a great support but yeah Hawk tends to be more usefull for a melee team.

I'm tempting to try doing a man power team run later, been a while since I've done one.

Going to download the latest version, gonna give it one more shot and start it from the beginning.

Does the Dream Res. shield protect against the same status effects as the Dream Res. ring? It's in the title, I know, but the spreadsheet indicates moogle/chibikko resistance for the shield and sleep/moogle/chibikko for the ring. Most likely the spreadsheet just wasn't updated when the shield effects were changed....

the sheet is actually correct there, shield does NOT resist sleep - probably forgot it back then
