[Old] FFT Plus 1.02 upcoming changes

[Dome]

Are the books in FFT: Complete fully working?

[Darkholme]

I haven't tested, but from the descriptions I believe that to be the case.

They may not have typed in the translations, but if that's the case, I know the script for them has been translated to english elsewhere.

[Dome]

I doubt I'll use "complete" as the base patch, so much stuff is still not finished/untested
If you want the music player, you can use this awesome ASM (By FFMaster)

P.s: The music player might be added to the main release, but only if many ask for it and works bug-free

[Darkholme]

Well this is me asking for the music player.

The soundbooks as well. If possible.

Guess I'll open a topic and see what people think about adding it to the main release

Change Ramza's name to PolkaPolka in the New Game screen to activate it.

Here's the question you need to ask yourself: Do you hurt yourself in any way by including it?

Here's the question you need to ask yourself: Do you hurt yourself in any way by including it?

I don't know (And I have no simple way to know) if the ASM is 100% bug-free, if it will make the patch unplayable on PSX and if it conflicts with other ASM
That's my main concern

[RavenOfRazgriz]

It edits OPEN and WORLD, so it has a nearly 0 chance of conflicting with anything.

Pretty sure people have burned and played FFT:Complete on a physical PS1 as well.

[Dome]

Thanks for the info, Raven: you are helpful as always

Then, it's just a matter of preference now.
Let's see what others think about it

[Stretch]

I've been listening to these songs for years, I don't really care about having ready access to any of them through the disc. But do what you want to.

[Dome]

Only 4 votes so far? Come on guys, you can do better than this!

[RavenOfRazgriz]

No one's voting because it doesn't really matter Dome.

It's a cool feature, it doesn't conflict with anything, it doesn't get in the way of people who don't want it because you have to actively seek it out to use it.  There's literally nothing to vote on. :/

[Timbo]

I voted yes. You know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see a music test option added to the main menu.

[MiKeMiTchi]

Yes, please. Will the soundtracks being tested have their track names?

[Dome]

Wow, thanks for all the votes guys!
I'll leave the poll open for one more day ;-)

[Dome]

I see that some patches use an ASM to make the maximum level 50, instead of 99
Those are the reasons Rfh used in his topic to explain his decision:

- Speed grow with Status CT and ability CT gain completaly descontrol is las 50 levels.
- Gear, and levels magics are completaly unbalanced with the formulas based (PA+Y)*PA in last 50 levels
- Some growts like mosters HP overflow in last 50 levels.

Think it's an interesting idea...but I'd like to hear your opinions on the matter
All of FFT: Plus data can be found in the master guide topic, if you need a reference

[Stretch]

I always loose focus and move on to other things trying to get a party up to 99 for the Deep Dungeon, so anything that removes some grind tedium is a good thing to me! This game has always been about thinking your way through, not just making your numbers go up.

Avoid excessive grinding to reach maximum level is, in fact, one of the reason I think setting the level cap at 50 is a good idea
But I need more than only 1 feedback ;P

[theultrawolf]

This idea seems extremely fruitful and would add a whole new aspect to gameplay, regarding increased difficulty. I always hated the fact that if you grinded just enough, you could blow through the entire storyline and even the side missions extremely easily. It would be awesome if it was a one sided thing though, so your units could only reach level 50, but the enemy AI could still reach 99. The disparity would be interesting as far as developing new strategies.
