Final Fantasy Hacktics

Glad to hear you're still enjoying it!

Yeah, I'm aware of that bug. As long as they don't have Two Swords, they won't be able to attack twice, though. It's more a minor nuisance than anything else. I think you'll like Zeakden. ^_^

Thanks, Phil! That should help immensely.

Ah, sorry, it was in IRC. I'd have to check Shishi to confirm that Boco has his own spriteset, though.

Sorry, Kage, but Zack probably won't be replacing Cloud anytime soon. Like I said, if anyone replaces Cloud, it'll be Balthier.

Regarding Boco, I heard from Raven last night that Boco has its own spriteset, meaning that I can potentially make a white-paletted Chocobo, give it the Trickster class, and give it to Wiggy. Raven also told me how to make enemy units mount chocobos, so that's something I'll consider as well.

Heh, thanks! I absolutely loved making that battle.

@Doku- Not if you don't want to, really. Like I said, it only changes a few things. Update as you see fit. The biggest change is to the Oracle, since Cataclysm has been changed, and you can't just plop Feather Boots onto the party and be cheap. =P

@Zenius- Sweegy can be annoying with the Bombs, but Aero and Blizzard magic pretty much takes care of them. Honestly, the hardest battle in the chapter is probably Wiegraf or Zeklaus. =P

Definitely the second version. Good work!

Whoops, it's actually Dragoon 3. My apologies, Skip, I'll change that now.

Sure, feel free to PM me. It'd be even easier if you came onto IRC, though. =P

Perhaps I could help you with that. What issues are you having?

Very, very small update.

-Turned Cataclysm into Black Hole, so it's not broken anymore.
-Geomancers can use Instruments, a la FFIII and FFV.
-Fixed some text errors and ENTD errors.

OK, apparently the file is missing .ppf at the end of it. For PPF-o-Matic, you need to add the .ppf to the end of the file name for it to recognize it. I thought I had put the .ppf on it. =\

Thanks a ton! =D

Simmer down, sirs. We don't want to scare away new members. Especially before they've really had a chance to get to know the community.

Does anyone happen to have WotL's Balthier sprite lying around? Not sure if I'll use it or not, but I'd like to have it on hand just in case. Thanks!

Cloud's Materia Blade has been the Buster Sword since the very first version. :3

Thanks for the Exdeath sprite, I'll see if I can make room for it. ^_^

@Zenius: Great! That's exactly what I was going for! I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying it! PD's (and all items, for that matter) are more expensive as a kind of a way to a) stop item spammage and b) add a layer of tactics outside of battle. In Vanilla, you pretty much always have an excess of Gil. In Newtype, you have to do Props and actually save money and sell old gear if you want to keep up. It really makes you prioritize. Regarding Counter Tackle, it's an amazing Reaction early on, and worth using instead of jumping just to Counter.

@Skip: Scholar is needed for Mime, but that's about it. They're meant to be a utility unit throughout the game, and their items can come in great use. On that note, you've gotten Cup of Life to work? It never likes to proc for me. Ever. Regarding Thunder, I feel your pain. We always seem to remember when the attacks miss, moreso than when they hit. =P

I eat my words, people. 2.1b fixes those item descriptions and fixes a few battles. Not a huge change from 2.1, until you get to Yardow and have Rafa buttknived by Ninjas. i.e. Yardow is beatable in 2.1b. >_<

Also, I'd like to apologize if I release many updates in a row. I fix things as my testers get further in the game and discover more glitches and errors. I'll retitle the topic with the latest version, as I've been doing. It's recommended that you keep a clean ISO to copy when a new update comes along. Thanks to everyone for your extraordinary patience.

OK, apparently my item descriptions for this update didn't take. Just note that Samurai -can- equip Katana and Longbows. Just a note.

It's something that people had brought up before, and that I had considered originally, but I was kind of afraid to implement it for fear of people not liking it. But more options for each class are always welcome.
