1 hour ago, Cross said:I downloaded the mod, just a lil' nitpick, there's no version number on the file; so I can't be visually sure on what version this is.
The one in the OP is the latest version; I'll add a version number to it to avoid confusion.
Edit: done. The current version is VS_0.9.ppf. Link updated in the OP.

On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Did you change some of the enemy spawns for the postgame, and for Iron Maiden B2 after clearing it the second time??? I'm pretty sure there were never three enemies in any given room, but I love it. Liches everywhere. Liches in the beginning of the game when I went to farm leather. Changed placement of the Last Crusader spawns?
Some post-game spawns replace old ones, yes. The IMB2 post game encounters (the locked room battles) should spawn after defeating Asura, but I don't remember having three enemies in a single room, unless you mean three Shriekers. If you mean anything other than those, I have to fix it.
BTW, did you ever happen to find regular enemies appearing alongside any of the bosses in IMB2? The bosses should be by themselves (ofc), but I've had this bug in the past and I'm wondering if it's still there.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Asura's final form, did you tweak that? I remember PLOWING through her in the past, and I had to try multiple setups to find which element would reach which body part... extremely fun fight.
Rebalancing Asura was pretty simple, actually. Once I gave her Marlene's Ring (in the original only her Time Trial version had it equipped), her stats were at the level I wanted. After that I just tweaked her spells, special attacks, turn speed, etc. Good to know she's still beatable. I was afraid her healing move would complicate things too much.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:I also liked the little rumble that spawns outside the door of Godhands. Did you change the drops? The liches in white used to drop Radial Surge... if I remember correctly. Maybe they still do and I just didn't get one.
Hmm, I think you're misremembering, the Death enemies outside of Godhands used to drop Elixir of Queens/Mages in vanilla. I just kept the same drops.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Also on the subject of these guys -
With the increased armor drop rate, the only drop that seems SLIGHTLY broken is one of the white robed liches dropping damascus plate armor. I say this because, being outside Godhands, this is easily farmable, and there is a rare drop of it already down somewhere in the Iron Maiden.
If you can check it for me -- is it a (D)Plate Mail or (D)Brigandine outside of Godhands? If it's a Brigandine and you were still able to forge a (D)Dread Armor with relative ease, then I'll need to reduce this drop or change it to something else.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:I currently have a damascus jamadhar, wakizashi, and sage's cane. The drop rate for the Last Crusader weapons seems fun and fair - on three runs of Iron Maiden, I won one each time. It's not too easy (the loot down there can quickly break the game), but it's not stupid like how I used to have to spend three hours for a single drop. It gives me more time to play with crafting things I never thought imaginable.
This is something I'm definitely interest in -- I wouldn't want the loot in IMB2/B3 to be too much, too easy. Have you encountered the Blood Lizards in IMB3? I might have to nerf their equipment.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Crossbows are definitely sadly grossly underpowered and I don't use them.
A third gem slot wouldn't hurt, especially when you consider other weapons can be built with spiral hilt and spiral pole.
Noted. I'll add it on the next update.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:I don't know if vanilla Iron Maiden had high level leather drops, but I LOVE getting those occasionally. I'm working toward a set of hoplite leather armor -
Those are mine.
I added them to make leather equipment more viable. IMO the Liches were the ideal choice for them. I'm also partial to hoplite leather, like you. If you're going that route, IIRC you can simply farm (L)Armets and (L)Brigandines and combine those to get the rest.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Have you given thought to the balance of wood and leather drops? Enemy drops early game seem a little less frequent than midgame/late game. Leather bone helms are the only things I have to actively farm (and probably long boots, I'm just not that far in my farming quest yet).
I'll have to check those. I think you're probably right, their % is lower.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Wood shields are pretty scant, too. I have a wooden kite shield, and that's it. I'm trying to level up my wood shields before combining them with the few damascus shields the game drops.
Yep, that's something I'm currently addressing for the next version. High level wood shields are kind of rare/exotic IMO, so I'm trying to place them in a tasteful way.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Also: the escapeway. LMAO. I thought the timed portion of Mines B2 was the Escapeway for some reason, and I missed it on my first playthrough (umm, wow, I was rusty). The actual Escapeway I had no issues with. With the Escapeway taken out, is it possible to get 100% map completion? I was stuck at 97% for my second playthrough - but again - I suck at maps and missed an entire dungeon my first time around, so.
The % completion remains a mystery to even myself... I'm surprised you were able to reach 97%. That's probably because I repurposed so much of the Escapeway data for other areas. By that logic, if I can repurpose all of it then 100% map completion should be attainable.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:I have mixed feelings about the map of Iron Maiden B2 becoming visible!
As do I. I included it to encourage exploration in that area. But I suppose it does subtract a bit from the lore. Depending on the feedback I get, I might revert it to normal.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:There was only one other bug I noticed: when Ashley is chaining, casting, or using an item, and if he's fighting Dullahan/Last Crusader type of enemy, you'll hear the "chunk chunk chunk" sound effect of the enemy running during those animations. I think it only happens for the enemies that can warp off the screen, I noticed it first in Temple of Kiltia and later in Iron Maiden.
Ah, you noticed. It's a side-effect of giving teleportation to enemies who aren't supposed to have it. In this case, the Last Crusader. Admittely, I did it for the cool factor; but once the novelty wears off, you're still left with this annoying "chunk chunk chunk" (nice onomatopeia, btw). So, if by the time the next update is ready I don't have a solution to this, I'll restore their movement parameters to normal, as in no more teleporting.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:I know it's not finished yet, but the patch is already 11/10, would play again, in fact, I'm still replaying.
I also have some ultimate pieces of silver armor accumulated just because, and I imagine they would look quite stylish.
Glad to hear. I had my doubts if anyone would actually uncover the post-game content and all the little touches I've added; it's no fun for me if it goes by unnoticed. But you've put those thoughts to rest, so thanks again for playing.
On 24/07/2018 at 10:18 PM, blackcat777 said:Another random though: the first time I played, I wasn't sure if I had the mod until I went into the room in the beginning expecting a chest, and found the mimic. When the box moved, I screamed. Excellent touch.
Hah, gotcha.

Hmm, try copy/pasting this link: https://mega.nz/#!BRFUmQoS!TlzldgUbL_M02Bm58XU6ug_kfUEF9oBNo-AfAugdZoc
I really ought to remove the key requirement; there's no need for that...

On 17/07/2018 at 10:17 PM, blackcat777 said:When does Ashley pick up AGL up? I somehow missed that on this playthrough.
It's inside the chest at Forest River, Snowfly Forest. Thankfully you can just teleport there and collect it, it's easier than navigating that place...
As for the Warlock spells, I followed the pattern laid out by the original game, with Elemental bosses giving out the AoE spells (like Flame Sphere, Thunderburst, etc.). The only difference is now they also drop their respective single-target spells. For example, the Water Elemental drops both the Avalanche and Aqua Blast grimoires. In the original you had to farm those single-target spells from enemies like the Phantom or the Dark Eye.
I haven't touched the Great Cathedral yet, but on principle I'm ok with the extra grimoires you find there. I'll have to playtest it to know for sure, but I'll probably keep them where they are.
On 17/07/2018 at 10:17 PM, blackcat777 said:Not sure if this is even possible or desirable, but have you given any thought to changing the stats of the various metals for equipment? Another reason I never pursued damascus was that the stat difference did not make it remotely worth the effort. The difference with silver being weaker but having higher affinities, or leather being skewed to magic, is interesting in theory, but useless in practice.
I thought of tweaking the STR/INT/AGL difference between materials, but I don't really know where that is located within the rom. I think there is some potential in that, although I'm not sure what I'd actually do with it. Maybe try and make the materials more distinct in their properties.
It's cool that you were able to finish the 1st playthrough of the mod, you're the first person to report doing so. Thanks for playing. =)

Congrats! That was pretty fast, too. Did anything give you trouble, besides Rosencrantz and the Lich?
The next version of the mod will take a while. A few months, at least. So I'd say go ahead and play.
Since you're focused on Godhands, you could simply ignore the other NG+ areas. It would go something like this: once you defeat the Ogre at Abandoned Mines B1, return to Town Center West, cross the river, go to Glacialdra Kirk Ruins and open the Rood Inverse door. Enter it and navigate the segment of Undercity West that leads you to The Crumbling Market (check my yt channel for "path to gold key - no escapeway"). Collect the Gold key, then go back to TCW and proceed normally to Snowfly Forest, then Rosencrantz. From there it's a sprint to Abandoned Mines B2. Once you defeat the Sky Dragon, the exit will take you to The Crumbling Market again, by the save point with the Dullahan. Now go ahead to Tears from Empty Sockets, there's a door locked with the Gold key. Enter it and one of the paths will take you to Godhands.

1 hour ago, blackcat777 said:Can I ask how much HP he has (or is that cheating)? I could take him down about ~830 HP before he would heal. The Manabreaker gem (+20% chance of hitting) helped slightly and I might have been able to wreck him eventually that way with a one-handed sword. There was just no way to raise my attack sufficiently with a one-handed sword to deal enough damage before risk became too high. I had a pretty good blade with decent human affinity, too.
He has 950 HP. Another tricky thing about Rosencrantz is that he's immune to all magic, so you can't Analyze him to check his stats. So in terms of possible weaknesses, you're in the dark. If you ever face him again, I'd suggest using the Invigorate spell to increase your AGL and thus your % chance to hit (if you haven't done so). And like you mentioned, the Braveheart gem is useful here.
Keep in mind that your weapon's affinity affects damage a lot more than its Class (Human, in this case). So maybe pick an affinity, use gems and enchanter spells to increase it as high as possible, then look for a bodypart that's vulnerable to it.
Of course, it's very easy for me to say all this, since I know everything about the mod...
2 hours ago, blackcat777 said:I don't think the fight with him needs to be modified, however - I was the one who had to evolve or die. I beat him in a snap with the great sword, and it was a cool moment that made me realize I had to think outside of the box.
I hear ya. I did want to have a few bumps in the road, and Rosencrantz is definitely one of them.
2 hours ago, blackcat777 said:Also, I like that the two-handed weapons have become more viable, they never inspired me to use them much in the first!
I'm partial towards Great Axes and Polearms, myself.
2 hours ago, blackcat777 said:You nailed it. VS is one of my favorite games of all times, and my biggest gripe has always been that the system is SOOOOO complex, but if you take the time to get all the equipment, there's essentially nothing to do with it because everything can be one-shotted before then. Sometimes I would spend three hours trying to get a single Holy Win to drop, and it's like, "This sword is the best thing ever... but I've already killed everyone."
Ha. I never liked that once you finish IMB3, you're done with the game. It's a culmination, but also kind of a bummer. In terms of power level, nothing can resist you at this point. The coolest weapons (the Rhomphaias, the Holy Win) are here, not to mention a full set of Hoplite armor. As for boss fights, everything is dead. So from now on it's entirely up you to come up with new challenges and stuff to do. I've already taken a few measures to extend the life of the game beyond IMB3. There are more to come with the next iteration of the mod.
2 hours ago, blackcat777 said:To elaborate on the drop rate, I think it's really perfect where it is because it's not excessive (considering the inventory cap, too). The roulette aspect of the drop is still there so you have to try a bit to get things you want. But I've also gotten drops that I have NEVER seen before, and it's giving me the freedom to play around with some of the more obscure nuances. This is the first time ever, in the bazillion times I've beaten the game, that I've taken crafting silver armor seriously. I'm also saving all my wood shields and wondering if a damascus dread shield would be humanly possible. Items still have to be stored intelligently with the container elements, so it's making me think more tactically about crafting, and I can try to plan for things that before only maybe a turbo controller could have done while actually having fun.
This is really cool, and very motivating for me to hear. Awesome.
2 hours ago, blackcat777 said:Also, THANK YOU FOR REMOVING THE ESCAPEWAY!! Yes, that was me at Gamefaqs.
Haha, no problem.

Hello blackcat777. I seem to remember you from the gamefaqs board? Or it could have been somewhere else. Let's see...
4 hours ago, blackcat777 said:I was able to play the game using my vanilla play style up until the battle with Rozencrantz - fortunately I found a video of him being defeated in the mod with a great sword which inspired me to try it, otherwise I never would have been able to kill him with a one-handed sword. I would chain 30 hits, but because the connect rate of the attack was so low, I kept pushing him to the brink of death and he'd keep recovering all of his health. Great sword solved that problem.
Wow, you have some respectable chaining skills. I'll have to look into the Rosencrantz battle, it's supposed to be viable with a 1-H weapon as well.
4 hours ago, blackcat777 said:I also typically used to use a crossbow for fighting the evil class, but once I fought Lich and he used Surging Balm, the only solution to that problem was to assemble a great sword named Liches Get Stitches, which disposed of him promptly. Good bolts for crossbows can only hold one gem, and without being able to quickly raise affinities with a training dummy, crossbows now feel a bit obsolete.
Hmm, this is worth a thought. In the past I've considered increasing the gem capacity of some bolts to 2 or 3 gems like the other weapons' grips. At the time I thought it would break the game, but now I just might give it a try. Cool weapon name, btw.
4 hours ago, blackcat777 said:I'm so happy there are now worthy adversaries to push me deeper into the equipment system.
This is really gratifying to hear.
4 hours ago, blackcat777 said:Thanks again for making this mod! I remember ages ago when the stat editor came out and praying someone would eventually make one. I was bored out of nowhere the other day and was like, "Let's see if anyone made a Vagrant Story mod!" and holy crap. New lease on life.
Ah, the stat editor. That simple tool was my entry point into modding the game. It was more user-friendly than the almighty VSTools, which was a little overwhelming for me back then. Without the stat editor to ease me into the game data files, this project would never exist. I hope JayC can check out the mod sometime and see what he set in motion with that little program.
4 hours ago, blackcat777 said:This morning, I made it to the minotaur zombie and encountered a glitch. After I "killed" him, he stopped moving, Ashley was able to continue attacking and dealing normal damage, but lost the ability to chain attacks (once minotaur was dead). I reset everything, killed him again. This time, a Hand of Light dropped (um, SWEET), but nothing else, and the minotaur became frozen, Ashley couldn't chain, and I could deal out damage infinitely. I was able to leave the room and save. This isn't gamebreaking - my only concern is, was the minotaur supposed to drop any sigils or anything else that would prevent me from progressing further in the game?
Just to be sure, this is the Minotaur Zombie at the Gallows, Wine Cellar; not the Minotaur Lord at Temple of Kiltia, correct? Ok, I'll look into it. He doesn't drop any sigils or keys, so you should be able to continue the game normally. I think I know what the problem is, as I've seen this exact bug happen before.
4 hours ago, blackcat777 said:Also question: I saw there's a little bit of endgame/postgame content to be added? When the mod is updated, will I be able to continue using the save file I'm building now?
Yes, any save files you might have will be fully compatible with later versions of the mod. So you can invest in your file without worries.
I'm glad to know I could spark some enthusiasm with the mod, that was my goal after all. And from what you've mentioned, I think my intentions were translated sucessfully into it. Instead of going all out in the difficulty level, I wanted something enjoyable and interesting. Thanks for the feedback!

4 hours ago, coffee potato said:(If You feel like watching a bumbling idiot try to remember all the mechanics in play here, this is the link. Audio was fixed partway through, still unclear why it was kind of imbalanced. https://youtu.be/f99yHLdr3P8
Haha, this is great. I see you're quite the talker, it was very entertaining. It's also the first video of someone playing the mod other than myself. Watching that segment I already see a few things that can be smoothed out. Like the room with the Mimic; I could probably remove one of the Silver Wolves. It's also fun to follow the live chat, I enjoyed that too.
The latest version of the mod should be completable, although I haven't finished my playthrough. The Great Cathedral and some of the 2nd-play areas have not been rebalanced yet. But as you've mentioned, I've already added some post-game content to play with. It was better to acommodate that stuff early on, for design reasons as well as space limitations.
Your emulator doesn't seem to like save states too much. I didn't know using them could cause slowdown.
A couple of people mentioned losing all the equipment stored in the container while playing the mod. If it does happen to you, let me know.

Not for a while. It's kind of low priority at the moment. Although I still work on it when I have the time.

Just chiming in to say, that was a great read. As a modder myself I would be delighted to get this kind of praise. I've played the hack and I agree with most of your points, and you've articulated them better than I'd be capable of. Now I actually feel like going back and replaying it! Zombero did a great job here... I've been thinking of getting this on cartridge so I can enjoy it on console; just need to find a suitable script hack to go with it (can't remember if CT: Lavos' Awakening included text edits). Anyway, yeah -- great read, great mod.

I've added a link in the OP for the demo build. It fixes the problems found so far, and adds the following system changes:
DYING BODY cancels STR-UP; Ashley cannot cast Herakles on himself.
DYING HEAD cancels INT-UP; Ashley cannot cast Enlighten on himself.*
DYING LEGS cancels AGL-UP; Ashley cannot cast Invigorate on himself.
*'Dying head' means you're also Silenced, so you wouldn't be able to cast spells anyway. But now even an ally (like Sydney) wouldn't be able to cast Enlighten on Ashley in this situation.
I wanted to make the "dying" mechanic more relevant, and I think this adds some welcome complexity into the combat system.Edit: Fixed the demo link on the OP.

3 hours ago, kotpeter said:Also, after I defeated Lich I teleported back to wine cellar (blackmarket savepoint). The door was marked as closed on the mini-map, but I was able to open it. However, I haven't found neither monster, nor a closed chest inside. Possibly a bug as well.
Fixed it. Thanks for reporting the bugs, it is really useful to me. Also, I'd ask you something if you don't mind: whenever there' a story cutscene let it play out in full, so I can be sure that I didn't break anything else.
After the Limestone Quarry area the rebalancing is unfinished, so you might experience some oddities/inconsistencies.

31 minutes ago, kotpeter said:By the way, I've just encountered a bug: when I defeat the Air dragon (the one after Earth elemental fight), I get teleported to Godhands workshop and cannot move there. Hopefully it gets fixed before release.
Found the problem, thanks for pointing it out. If you'd like a temporary solution, try skipping the cutscene which plays after defeating the Sky Dragon. That should find you right back in the boss room and you can proceed normally. I'll address your other questions as soon as I'm able.

On 18/03/2018 at 8:42 AM, kotpeter said:I've just beaten Duane with this mod. Looks very challenging so far! Love the increased drop rates (currently equipped with hagane guisarme & scorpion) and increased monster power (dragon dealing 250+ damage with tail attack is nuts, not a fan of random status effects tho). The mod is fantastic, keep developing it please!
Glad to hear it! Make sure to experiment with break arts, they're a lot more useful now. The final build should be out soon.
-
For those wondering about the release date, I expect to finish the mod in a month's time or so. Rebalancing is a slow process, and if I were to rush it the quality would suffer.
If you want to get your hands on the current build, this patch includes what I've done so far:
(link removed)
Apply it with Ppf-o-matic on a clean (US) rom.

Personally I wouldn't change the New Game option, I'd rather have a tiny "v.1.5.2" on the bottom-left corner or something. That'd be enough to signal that the mod is working correctly.

'Nother chapter in. I need to pay more attention to the magatama movements, so I can learn their skills whenever possible. @zombero Since you revised the magatamas I suppose you also changed the level requirement for their skills, eh? Anyway I could've probably learned Berserk at my last lvl up...

2 hours ago, Regdren said:Follow-up question! Would you also like some feedback from a player who goes into the mod knowing nothing about Vagrant Story? Or is this more of a mod for veterans?
Sure, that'd be interesting. I didn't think someone's first playthrough would be through my mod, I wonder how that could turn out. One thing is you won't have a basis for comparison, so you won't know what I added from what was already there. Although that's not really an issue since you can always go back and play the original game. More importantly, I hope you enjoy the story and music which are stellar even by today's standards.
You could say the mod is for veterans in the sense that it adresses some long-time issues people had with the game. It's not so much a hardtype mod as it's a rebalance mod. My main goal was to make it more playable and interesting, instead of just harder; I wouldn't want people to drop it because of difficulty. I can't say it will be a walk in the park for you but I suppose I could give you some directions if you're struggling too much. There are only a few basic rules to understand, anyway.

1 hour ago, coffee potato said:By the way, do You mind if I do a sort of blind test run series on this? I oten blind test run mods as a hobby, figured it'd be best to ask first. Funnily enough I was looking for an excuse to do a run of this for a while, it's hands down one of my favorites on the PS1. It always seemed funny to me that of all things, VS was what they referenced more than anything in Tactics Ogre, which is what I do tests of most of the time.
Not at all. If you're familiar with the original game, you shouldn't have too much trouble with the mod. And I appreciate all the feedback I can get. VS has always been a niche title, I'm glad there are people willing to re-experience it after all this time. I do hope you have a grasp of the underlying mechanics, though; otherwise you might find it too difficult. TBH the game never did a really good job of conveying some things to the player (how to deal damage effectively, for instance). In any case, I welcome the interest, so yeah feel free to do your thing if you feel like it.

Just a quick reply to this, as I'm very keen on getting those locked rooms working correctly. From what you're telling me, I don't think they are. Here's a run-down of what you should find in each of those rooms, after you clear IMB2/B3 for the 1st time:
Ordeal by Fire: https://imgur.com/0CLE5JH
Pressing: https://imgur.com/xQs0ED8
The Saw: https://imgur.com/3TPYkan
The Shin-Vice: https://imgur.com/J7rDtJk
If you're getting different mobs, then something's up. So yeah, if you can take notes of what you find in each of those 4 rooms, I'd appreciate it. And also any other triple encounters you find in IMB2. The one outside of Godhands is intentional, so no worries there.
Edit: found the problem. The bosses are respawning every time you enter those rooms. What a mess. I'll put up a fix asap.
Edit2: that should do it. Link updated in the OP. Current build is v0.91. Apply the patch to a clean rom.
@blackcat777To clarify, after applying the patch you'll probably have to fight those big enemies one more time, in their respective locked rooms. That'll set the flag that makes them stop respawning. You'll notice that they drop sigils, now. Those are for opening the Time Trials in the Keep. Don't use them, as the TTs are currently out of service. You'd probably get stuck in an empty room, or some other weird situation.
