Does anyone know if the game emulates flawlessly on the 3DS? 

The BNW mod is a heavily modified version for the FF6 SNES Rom. So you need an SNES emulator and FF6 (originally called FF3 when it was brought to the USA) Rom of some sort for BNW to work.

Btw... who IS Owzer, anyway?

An incredibly rich and overweight Jidooran noble who looks like a clothed Jabba the Hutt, likes showing off his collections of 'art' to people in order to socialize and impress, and doesn't mind underaged girls hanging around his place (especially if doing work for him) for long periods of time. That the underaged girl in question draws mostly nude artwork (coughStarletcough) makes things even better in Owzer's eyes.

So basically your standard noble with too much time and money, along with Relm being Relm (and of the two, there's an honest question about which one is skeevier here given that neither underaged girls or nudity showed up as part of things until Relm became involved).

There's some good news from this though, if Shadow dies then Relm gets Interceptor.  That's a 2nd evasion check, giving her two chances to dodge physical attacks.  Also, Relm's Interceptor attacks can hit flying enemies because BTB decided it would be that way.

Also because Relm's evasion sucks, it means more attacks by best doggo!

Hmm not sure what you mean?  I got to the end and it said "jump" or "I can't leave without shadow!" I tried to click that but nothing happened and I only had 10 seconds left so i just jumped

 

don't tell me I can't get Shadow now...

You have to let the time run out while at the very end where you can jump. Shadow shows up "Dramatically". If you jump before that point, then I'm sorry to say that he's dead. That said, if you do let him die, Relm gets Interceptor, the doggie gets a boost depending on how much Stamina Relm has, and the dog can now attack Floating enemies (he couldn't do this before).

Just gonna throw this out there, but random encounter rate gets a little crazy at times. Two steps is not enough.

...I'm not having this issue at all. Infact no one has been having this sort of issue. So there's likely something funky going on with your end of things. The issue now is figuring out where and why.

First, have you applied the encounter patch? If not, it can be found HERE. The patch will be automatically applied to 1.9.1 and/or 2.0 should no other major problems pop up (meaning you won't need to apply the encounter patch next update), but if you have not used this patch here, you should apply it to fix your problem.

Second, do you know if your ROM file is headered or unheadered? A lot of newbies aren't aware that there are two different types of roms, and applying the wrong patch types can create issues. So if you have a headered ROM (something you can check with some various modding tools for FF6), you need to use headered patches, and vice versa with unheadered roms/patches.

Hopefully this reply of mine will help you solve the issues you are having here with that.

For future newbies, when patching FF6, you have to keep track of whether the rom is headered or headerless and use the appropriate patch. BNW includes patches for both rom types, so that makes things easier.

In addition to that, if you have an OS that is 64 bit, you can download a program known as Headerizer that can change various patches and make them headered or headerless as desired. While this isn't strictly needed for BNW, it is a useful tool for those getting into modding of FF6 and/or wanting to add more to BNW. Here's a link for that.

http://l33t5k37ch3r.altervista.org/headerizer.html

Ok, this is an interesting little thing here.

However, you haven't mentioned whether the IPS file is for headered or unheadered game roms. That is something you will need to make clear for new players.

Anyways, I'm gonna have fun checking this out though, so thank you for it.

Wait , wtf does this do? Randomize character stats?

It can randomize items (weapons, armor, relics, etc.), spells, espers (including who can equip them and what bonuses/spells/equip bonuses they may give), character data, among many other things.

Is there any way to encounter a Raven in WoR?

Not outside of the Veldt. If you missed it in the WoB, it's gone. Of course, if you're willing to edit things, you can add it into the WoR.

Quite honestly, I wouldn't mind all of the leapable monsters being available in the WoR in various places.

Were there any observed instances of slowdown in just regular BNW, or was it only with the randomizer applied?

Now that I've actually tested it, it seems to be the same. I suspect the discrepancy I was noticing before was due to hidden map variables that cause different maps to have different loading times.

I've noticed this in South Figaro especially (first spot early game it shows up, and from what I can tell, one of the worst areas with this), especially with the Mansion area and the rooms inside of it.

I'll put the answer in a spoiler box. Keep it in the spoiler box.

What numbers should I be looking at trying to increase Speed and Stamina to before focusing on other stats?

As the Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy informed us, the answer is 42.

More seriously though, BNW has changed how players can increase the stats of their characters (as stat increases are no longer dependant on characters having Espers equipped when the character levels up), and some characters get a lot of choices and options. Your general questions however show that you haven't actually played the game to see a lot of those changes yet. In addition, most characters will not have HP levels above 1000 for most of the game. Things have seriously been changed in BNW compared to the vanilla game.

Stamina plays a role in some defenses and attacks now. Speed is focused on giving players more turns turing the battle (and the way that has been changed in BNW is MAJOR). Magic is still useful for spells, but not all of them anymore, and a lot of spells and espers have been limited to certain characters. Strength is self-explanatory.

I would like to make a request for 2.0. It's a minor one all considered.

You know the Fanatics Tower? Have the guy you pay 100,000 Gil to give you an item you can use for betting in the Coloseium. You have said you like games where choices actually matter, and that seems like an easy way of making the players have to put serious time and effort into  bribing the guy in order to get both the info and the item that can then be used (either on its own, or for betting purposes).

That's the soul train enemy. You can tell by looking at his script.

 

Thank you for the clarification. And damn, now I feel a bit silly.

I would like to ask the location of a specific enemy as well, or at least clarification. Ahem.

Elixir heals all HP/MP to 9999, so rasp doesn't work. Elixir wasn't showing any MP healing on Magi Master after rasp or bushido 2 so I didn't notice until later.
FYI my Morphed Terra rasp was doing 1.9k and usually hit around 2/3rds of the time.

I'm not sure about your strategy. Every thing I tried except for Raid and Slow would cause him to auto cast elixir which heals 9999. So unless a character does more than 9999 per attack, it's not worth it.
Are you saying, if Magi master casts fire, and I cast Ice, he won't Overkill with auto elixir?

The only thing I could think of was Cyan bushido 7 tempest with nirvana ring and power gloves for about 3k x 4 with refract to avoid overkill, so overall, doing about 2k damage per round minus some regen which magimaster has. And keep slow applied.

Eventually that kills the Magi Master...

FYI, that was Cyan, Strago, and Terra party so I have regenx, regen, and slow.
Umaro took a "nap".

BNw 1.9.0

Thanks

He doesn't use Elixirs when you play to his elemental gimmick, or at least he's not supposed to at any rate.
If you're not sure about what his current weakness is when he does a barrier change you can always just use Scan to check it, but even if you do throw a "wrong" spell at him the worst that should happen is it just does no damage. (Or does it absorb? I don't quite remember at the moment.)
I could be wrong on this, but I think you can also technically use non-elemental magic without him using an Elixir, but he does counter stuff like that with a strong attack (Overkill I think?) since it's circumventing his gimmick, so don't use stuff like that too much or you'll die from all the counters. (Though maybe he does still use an Elixir? I don't quite remember in this case.)

Deciding if Rasp strategy is worth it.

Huh, oh, I've seen that hack before. Someone posted a youtube link showing what can be done with it. Ahh, found it.

Here's a link to the github url for this snes audio hack if you want it as well. https://github.com/Insidious611/DancingMadFF6/releases

Also, here's the page for the individual doing this audio hack and what it allows modders to do with it should they so choose. https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=22929.0

3. Would it be possible to have a unique relic or weapon for Gogo that gives him the ability to change his mimic slot into another ability?

3. Possible? Probably. This isn't a question anyone has ever asked before, and I really don't have an opinion on it.

The answer to this question is Yes and No. See, the vanilla game has five inbuilt triggers that change one set of commands to another in both battles and in the character status screen. Those triggers are attached to relics (though they could be attached to armors and weapons as well), those being the "Thief Glove" (changing Steal to Mug), "Coin Toss" (changing Slot to GP Toss), "Fake Moustache" (changing Sketch to Command), "Gem Box" (changing Magic to X-Magic), and "Dragoonboots" (changing Fight to Jump). It does this via in-game battle-commands and Status Screen tweaks. The issue is the "Battle Commands" portion of this, as messing with the Battle Commands portion of this is going to be extremely problematic. I can't go fully into why because spoilers, but yeah, that would not be fun or easy to do.

That's not to say it can't be done, just that it isn't going to be easy. If you wish for spoilers as to why, well...

Ahh, so two major conflicting design directions. Ok, I understand now. Thank you for the answer.

Quick question. Ultros is there late-game to give players a chance to redo things if they find that some builds work better for them than they first thought or realized. So what's the deal with the-

?

It seems like something you have to plan for pretty much from the moment you get them and with no way to redo anything after the fact if you wish to see how the other character builds goes. As items go, they're kind of incredibly useful for some character builds, so doesn't the inability to trade that item back kind of make some character build resets harder to do as a consequence of that?

I'm not hating or anything, it's just that that was kind of weird to me with character respec'ing being a thing and seemingly this bit with the item bet in the colleseum making it harder to do that for two character builds, and was wondering what was up with that.

Suggestion: Make Primordite (south figaro cave, locke's scenario) weak to ice or lower their HP to roughly 100

Reasons: Counters physicals with nasty megavolt, formation with 2x Primordite is very common, and all you can do is use up 2 turns with Celes because MT ice doesn't oneshot them.

Not only it drags the fight unnecessarily, but more importantly 12 MP in a fight at that point will make you run out very quickly, so you risk being forced to use physicals against them which means nasty counters.

I think it's a much more tedious fight than it's intended IMO.

Currently they got 200 HP and are weak to fire/bolt like their cousins, weaknesses you cannot exploit at that point.

I'm quoting this post over in this thread as I have to second the request by Spoony here. Primordites are absolute unneeded pains to deal with so early in the game.

So, it seems I kind of messed up with the first sprite (pixels were not aligned in a few places, the legs most notably), and it was not as well done as it could have been. I had some time, and have corrected that and put the corrected version in a (headered) patch. https://drive.google.com/open?id=15FhnxUNnXYc9ML6Lz5FcAMPLqgh563zn

Here is the corrected image sprite for those who want to mess with things themselves, though the patch deals with sprites 000, 148, and 163 (the first half of which can be found in one of my posts above) without all the hassle.

Hi,

Where are the locations of the missable rages?  I'm especially wondering if Allosaurus is missable...I completed Cyan's Dream without fighting that enemy, IIRC.

It's not missable, it's just elsewhere.
