If anyone feels like helping test the bugfix patch (see changelog above), it's pinned in our Discord server.

Simply put, you can't take Brave New World and apply vanilla's script to it. A lot has changed/removed/added to the point where much demand to be rewritten simply to be factually correct and actually work. So making a "vanilla-style" script means taking Brave New World's script and making it LOOK like the vanilla script.

Yeah, I've tried to get in touch with Katy but she hasn't been responding.

There was absolutely no reason to drag out the Whelk fight, especially considering that the thing he was meant to teach (the active battle system) was coded out of Brave New World.

I like how Umaro is just ???

Given that the colosseum is uncontrollable, I've deliberately scaled back on the difficulty there since it's mostly fake difficulty.

The translation patch just goes on top of the base one, so you'd have to make a new one. Since it's just dialogue and names, there's no problem with switching up on an existing save file. I personally frown on the vanilla patch because it's something I spent 9 years writing made deliberately bland for people who like to bitch. It's literally BNW with a personality-ectomy misrepresented as something closer to the vanilla translation, whereas the only thing it has in common with Ted Woolsey's script is... well, just being bland. I hate the damn thing and I hate seeing someone who falls outside of the very specific target audience being made to believe that it's their best option for playing through the game.

Either that script posted earlier is missing an FE or Gi is using a nested conditional - those should be avoided.

I've been quietly gathering bug reports since the release of 2.0 for a minor bugfix update at some unspecified in the future. Sat down over the last few days to work up this tentative changelog: • Wagers are no longer lost at the Colosseum if you lose the battle (Bropedio) • Defending now doubles a character's chances to cover healthy allies (Seibaby) • The "Blind" status now affects your chance to successfully steal (Bropedio) • Celes now remains in her "Defend" stance as long as Runic is active (Bropedio) • Golem no longer blocks non-damaging attacks or inherits elemental immunities (Bropedio) • Elemental attacks which are nulled or absorbed no longer attempt to set statuses (Bropedio) • Fixed the exploit where status-prevention relics would cure negative statuses (Seibaby) • The Scan spell now displays HP and MP values for non-boss enemies (Bropedio) • Cyan's starting vigor is now correctly set to 42 (instead of 43) • Swapped the immunity to Blind on Siren with the immunity to Bserk on Stray • The "Stop" effect on Suplex now checks enemy stamina for evasion • Bad Breath no longer incorrectly sets Sap • Raised the power of the Rune Blade from 140 to 150 • The Kunai and Ninjato now correctly possess the "strong against flying foes" property • The Punisher now correctly grants the critical damage bonus to the Dark spell • The Cursed Shield now correctly sets Sap instead of Condemned • The White Cape now blocks Stop instead of Bserk (and in addition to Imp/Mute) • Renamed the Storm Belt (now Psycho Belt) to something more indicative of its true function • Rewrote the "ATB tutorial" gimmick back into Whelk's script • Undead enemies are no longer inherently immune to Stop • Crawlers no longer use Magntidue on low-level parties • The South Figaro basement is no longer accessible prior to Locke's scenario (Bropedio) • Adjusted the timer in Phantom's script (should prevent "cheap" RNG deaths) • Fixed a error in Dadaluma's script when attempting to target invisible characters • Changed the behavior of the Cyborg/Robot/Android enemy group when hit with bolt damage • The "Tek Armor" enemy group should no longer be able to set barrier on other enemies • Lowered the magic defense of the Wight/Wraith/Revenant enemy group • The "Ninja" enemy group can no longer re-vanish as a counter to having the status cleared • Behemoths are now correctly immune to Sleep • Slightly adjusted Atma's script to further reinforce the battle's intended mechanic • Fixed a bug in the Tentacle battle where characters seized at full ATB would freeze when discarded (Bropedio) • Tentacles C and D now have the correct defense and magic defense, respectively • The Hoodwink and Windrunner enemies no longer always open with Blight • Curly now heals Larry and Moe more frequently • The merchant in Cyan's Nightmare now has better merchandise • Wrexsoul now correctly drops Force Armor instead of Genji Armor • Removed the new Ebot's Rock save point as it could potentially softlock your save file • Fixed a minor targeting error in Hidon's script • All of the Hidonites are now properly flagged as undead • Subsequent EL resets are now properly denied if the player lacks sufficient funds • Changed the overworld sprites of the elemental dragons to correctly match their color • The White and Green Dragons now lose the sap status when healing themselves instead of gaining regen • A certain boss is no longer mandatory once triggered and now better telegraphs its attacks • Fixed an oversight in Asura's script which allowed her to potentially use N.Cross twice in a row • Fixed an error in Kefka's script that was causing Meteor to be cast more frequently than intended • Fixed several other minor bugs --> The Lich and Kudzu rages are now listed in correct (alphabetical) order --> The Mute status no longer prevents Gau/Gogo from using Aqualung with the Chimera rage --> The 5x Chickenlip and 5x Anemone formations are now leapable and will appear on the Veldt --> Set the correct battle entrance animation for Zone Eater and Land Worms --> Spellcasting animations should no longer persist through death --> Corrected the value of a certain hidden rare item (0 -> 2) • Clarified several pieces of advice and some weapon descriptions • Improved several minor bits of dialogue (special thanks to Field) • Renamed a certain minor character (special thanks to Bauglir) • Fixed a display error with the physical defense indicator in the .xls version of the BNWCP

For the love of God, don't use the vanilla patch.

I never really considered the fact that since the player is now greatly encouraged to head back north, they might stop by Kolhingen. More likely, they'll chocobo it up there and back, making the Kolhingen stop less likely. I never asked for Shadow to be removed or anything to be changed since it's unnecessary event work and I rather like the easter egg you get if you take him there.

It's a 33% reduction. Safe is multiplicative with the back row. Both are overridden by defense-ignoring attacks.

Nobody has. Obviously, you'll need to make an exception to recruit Gau. You'll also have to establish in battle/out of battle rules.

No

That's why I changed its color to red. It was blue in vanilla >.>
