Glitch, what level are your dudes and how did you go about Number 028?

I can't get Marvel Shoes to come up again, are they super rare or can you only by 1 set?

Mardur · #**103** 10-27-2011, 05:59 PM

Lulz, Marvel Shoes for purchase right after I posted that, after like 50 save state loads of chocobos/reflect shields.

Glitch · #**104** 10-27-2011, 06:00 PM

Omg mog can't wear the shoes.

Glitch · #**105** 10-27-2011, 06:04 PM

Yea I just did save state loading + fast forward to shake up the RNG til it came up.

Uhm, was that the minecart boss? I used phantom summon, and a few of the other utility ones and a majority of my 99 potions.
I'll check my levels when I get home

Mardur · #**106** 10-27-2011, 06:23 PM

No, the minecart boss was easy, I didn't have to heal once.

The guy before him was the total badass. Wall Change dude.

Goddamn you. I have never in my life been tempted in the least to download an emulator or any ROM.... until now. This is easily my favorite game of all time and I've beaten it at least 20 times start to finish.

I am so sad that Edgar is a total pussy in this version. He was always my party leader because his Tools wreck the early game and his equipment selection late game is the best (Atma Weapon/Illumina+Genji Glove/Offering rapemachine). I always hated Gau with a passion and hated Mog almost equally, so this will force me to spend more time with characters I neglected. I like that Setzer is reworked too, I never used him much; since I didn't cheat, Slot was totally useless for me.

This hack makes me hard while I'm playing it. I died in the first pincer guard fight because I had no idea Xfer killed everyone on the screen including you. Whelk one-shotted Terra any time it targetted her. I'm in love.

Edgar's not really a pussy per se it's just that his tools aren't complete rape mode like they were. You can still set him up as a physical attacker and use Fight.

But I still only have the same 2 tools available immediately in Figaro, so whenever the hell I find new tools he may get better.

Same with Sabin, his Blitzes are way tuned down (although Mantra at level 26 is really good, although Mog's forest dance heal is a bit better).

You're not necessarily forced into using Gau/Mog... but these characters have always been the best in the WoB since they require a bit more work than other characters to gain power. Gau's attacks are a bit random and sort of a pain in the ass to obtain, so I can sorta see why he's so good. But I think Mog was made too powerful in this hack by removing his chance to stumble, considering anything he does is going to be good (the worst being a wasted turn if you're full HP and he does a heal). Not being able to use Marvel Shoes somewhat balances it out, but I'm not getting rid of him or Gau before the World of Ruin (when access to powerful gear and magic starts making characters like Terra, Celes, Relm, etc. way more powerful than they are in the World of Balance).

I'm assuming Edgar will become a powerhouse in World of Ruin when he gains access to his best gear.

Reward for perfect score at the Banquet:

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You have to answer every question correctly, beat the special forces in under 2 minutes, and talk to 21/24 guards (the ones that fight you are required, 1 MegaArmor and 3 Commandos I think).

Now that I'm approaching the World of Ruin, I took a look at the Readme:

Quote:

There is a specific way the World of Ruin is meant to be played: Run from every monster to get all the heroes back, but don't get the chests until you can kill the monsters, and then fight monsters until you can beat Kefka. The problem is that I didn't want the heroes to level up before you get other characters back (screwing esper stat progression). So all of the bosses which must be defeated to get heroes are all the same difficulty, but the monsters and treasures around them are increasingly better. This allows gamers to play with whichever hero they want, and still have areas with increasing difficulty. There is one chest you must open regardless of your level---the one holding "Striker", South of the switched passage in the Cave on the Veldt.

Also this:

Quote:

I encourage the use of fast-forward, & save-states with your emulator, and don't forget that Znes can rewind as well, which can allow you to test things easily or just never die, if you want to make things really easy.
