The original line is "Power only breeds war... I wish I'd never been born." Pretty emo.

I do agree that the FC escape sequence is a bit of a Celes wankfest, but I don't really mind it. Vanilla already forced her to show up to save the day, but does little with it (she's just a party filler to make up for Shadow) — BNW just gives her last minute appearance more relevance.

Yeah that's pretty bad.

You should be able to just patch it on top of BNW without any issue (matching headered/non-headered just the same). Just know that it doesn't appear to be working entirely correctly, so your mileage may vary.

Saving/killing Cid isn't hard, probably not any more so than vanilla.

Encounter rate, as mentioned above, is being worked on to try ensuring that you'll get a minimum number of steps between encounters.

I won't argue one way or the other on the script, but the most 'emo' line Celes says (according to a script dump someone posted on gamefaqs for the ios version) is:

Celes:	  Power only breeds war... It's something we'd all be better without.

This is right before she stabs Kefka. I didn't find the SNES vanilla script with 3 seconds of googling. Personally I'm not bothered by FC Celes, apparently she was extra emo in earlier versions.

Thanks for all the info. One question I have, though... Didn't you only get mog in the WoR? Maybe I am just misremembering something, though...

Poke around Narshe any time during WoB after gaining the airship.

When a new patch comes out, do you have to restart the entire game in order to use it or can you patch your existing game?

Typically the dev team tries to make it that saves from versions with similar numbering are comparable. e.g. any 1.9 save should work just fine in any of the 1.9 versions but 1.8 saves won't work properly in 1.9

They... were dead when I was last here...

No recipe, shame!

Also @raics your images appear to be dead

We can't provide a ROM for you to play. The best I can say is to read the installation instructions again and make sure you're patching the correct .ips to the correct ROM

@Deschain @thzfunnymzn and anyone else:

Any chance you 2 could fill us in on what levels you have been completing stuff at?

Is the update will work with save from the previous version ?

Should work just fine, just do typical proper patching procedure and patch NHT onto a clean BNW and you should be good. (hell, patching it onto a V3 patched ROM should also be fine but idk)

After getting feedback and discussion about solutions, I've put out a V4 of NHT.

The objective of this version is to ensure that the player always has a tool to handle pincer/back attacks and to always have the means to get out of combat with randoms (Warp Whistles) because running in NHT is pointless.

Only on the Veldt if you already encountered one of the leapable Raven formations. Also you don't need to ask your question in multiple posts.

After equipping Locke with the Phoenix Esper, he did not gain any HP as the bonus suggests. (+25%)

What else does he have equipped? HP bonuses don't stack so he probably already has one equipped (just checked that Phoenix equip works on my Rom)

New player here. Started 1.9 from scratch. Playing on BSNES on 3DS. A few errors I’ve noticed:

- the tutorial people say tents don’t exist. I can buy them.

- the tutorial people say that tonics and potions heal fractional HP but they do not

- supposedly stealing from monsters is bad. I just get tonics

- the upper left guard in Figaro’s central walkway has no dialogue

- stooge dialogue pops up during the Vargas battle 

- hitting Vargas with an Aurabolt triggers what I presume is dialogue for suplexing the Doom Train. Kaiser Dragon dialog follows 

Very cool mod. Looking forward to getting to the actual differences in magic and stat building. 

Sounds like a patching issue. Did you patch making sure to patch a clean, unmodified FF3 US rom and patching BNW on it according to headered/non-headered issues. Also, if you're playing Clean New World make sure you're patching that on top of your properly patched BNW rom, so your rom would go from FF3 > Brave New World > Clean New World.

Also, what did you do to get a level 20 blitz before fighting Vargas?

It's worth noting that BNW hasn't really been all that tested with the MSU-1 patch. The in-game hooks thing is a known issue (with SD2SNES, I don't think we've had anyone play and report anything with Super NT yet)

In Game hooks are used to do thinks like soft-reset button combos in game. They're known to interfere with some games, like BNW. They're a feature to SD2SNES so you'll want to look around in the options of the cart to disable them. I've been told that there's a system menu before you load a game that'd let you disable them.

There's a large amount of "It Depends" with those stats. It's very dependent on what the character's doing, their equipment, their opponent, whether they'll hit the damage cap, etc. Pumping speed as someone's primary stat is typically best for healer/support characters, as they aren't as reliant on vigor/magic for being good at what they do. In addition, characters like Gau don't even have a vigor/magic option and it's 100% viable to just put every EL he has into speed.

This doesn't work quite like an MMO where you just "raise stat to <x> for softcap then raise a different stat"

EDIT: Pretty much everything I said was wrong, disregard.

X-Zone procs from Doomstick seem to possess the "revives undead" property. Had an undead enemy come back from the dead from a proc. In addition a not... dead... undead 'died' and came back as if it was hit with Doom

EDIT: Also dog block animations sometimes play for random characters blocking. None of them have procced reprisal yet so it appears to be purely visual.

EDIT2: Lastly, the equipment screen is behaving very oddly, not properly displaying stat changes in an inconsistent way (not only when using Y to swap between relics and non-relics). I think I've only seen it in relics so far.

Was that screenshot taken before or after ninjasdf worked on whatever was causing the bar bug on the site?

Before

Are you counting steps in that room, or steps total? The step counter (essentially) only resets upon a random encounter.

Is that RNG patch being tested by anyone else? I actually don't have any problems with how it performs personally, but the 9 steps until encounter in dungeons part doesn't seem to be accurate. Sometimes it'll just be 4 or 5 steps until an encounter.

I've been counting my steps so far, and I've yet to observe an encounter triggering too early.

There's been discussion in the discord before about a zone being converted to a water based zone for Water Rondo.

A couple of times the idea of somehow 'unlocking' all the WoB formations on the Veldt when you go to the WoR was tossed around.

I don't think they're going to make something as drastic as making the WoB accessible again though.

What Lores are you missing? I was under the impression that they weren't actually missable.
