Final Fantasy Hacktics

Well, my aim for DD was to make battles interesting and challenging. I hope I did that. =P

Updated. Hopefully this will fix the glitch errors, as well, I added Kage's Guardian sprite and the new Tiamat sprites.

@Zenius: The more you know~

@Silvas: Emperor Mateus de Palamecia. He was given that name in FFII's book, and it's reinforced in Dissidia where the Emperor's strongest weapon is called Mateus' Malice.

Well, I think I'll reply by saying that a lot of scam e-mails have gone around lately and that I'd like some reassurance that it's not a scam. And then play it from there.

Well, most- not all- of DD is done, but the important battles (i.e. Yiazmat) are. Enjoy!

So, opened my e-mail and I get this clearly fake lottery award e-mail. Normally I just delete this junk, but it's so pitifully done, I feel like being a snark and replying (for it being an official lottery, they even use Yahoo and Windows Live e-mails in the letter). I think I'll pretend like I'm interested and out-scam the scammers. I think it was Koko who had a similar topic, so I look forward to hearing your replies. The e-mail I was sent is below.

You're free to play it however you wish. :3

That's... not supposed to happen. Let me reinsert the sprite, since, once again, it seemed to work for me.

Heh, this means you can get Balthier now, IIRC. Enjoy!

@Zenius: Last Waltz is very much an experimental reset button for if your levels get too high. Recruit a level 1 unit at the Soldier Office, have the high level Dancer use Last Waltz. Dancer crystallizes, so your average party level goes down, and your recruited unit can obtain a huge deal of basic abilities from the Dancer. Regarding Aliste, yes, he's meant to be a sort of one-man army. Just wait until you battle him with Bremondt! Btw, how did Zalera go?

@Kage: You can obtain the Genji Gear from Mid-Boss in DD, however, he only has a 20% chance of dropping each individual piece of gear.

@Samurai: Sometimes I must really question the AI's intelligence when it comes to things like Blizzard. I've never seen them use it incorrectly like that before, and it doesn't happen with other formulae, so I'll check the AI flags. Also, yay, another EVTCHR error! Regarding the Goland Thief, that has been fixed. Regarding Stone, I think I also fixed that, as well as Sleep Blade's text.

Fallen One can be evaded with Magic Evasion. Good luck! =D

He has Chirijiraden in his skillset, yes. Although note that Chirijiraden is Fire elemental...

It's been confirmed that it's coming to the US.

Usually, the Silver Bow Hunter will hop up onto the roof of the fort. When they do, usually Thunder will only target his panel, so you can fry it with ease.

Quote from: "LastingDawn"Hmm, is that guy in green Doned? I never thought I'd see a mature looking Doned that I would agree with, but his overall standoff-ish appearance from his portrait really fits his character. That's my favorite out of that batch.

I thought it was Frimelda, although I can see the similarities.

@Silvas: Yeah, I have to update the known issues box. LD is correct about Rad, it's an EVTCHR issue which I talked about at the beginning. A very common issue that you'll see quite often until I can get around to removing them. Not sure what the issue is
with the Onion Knight and Scholar sprites, since they've worked perfectly for me and other people. When Kage was streaming Newtype, he did have an issue with the Scholar, though. Also, regarding the text boxes, there'll be a lot of those as well.
I just need to respace the lines.

@Zenius: Good luck stealing from Elmdor, then! The battle is quite difficult unless you try a variety of things you wouldn't normally try on bosses.

@Lich: Glad to hear you got past Orbonne. You scared me a little there! Regarding Algus, I have a feeling I know what's wrong with that event- I just need to play around with it. So it shouldn't be a huge problem to fix. Regarding Scholar, you're not the only one with issues and I've no idea why. Regarding Blackout, it's just an animation error. It only damages once. Animations weren't laggy for me, or for anyone else from what I've seen and heard. It could well be an emulator thing.

@Samurai: Looking at it in the ENTD, he -has- the movement ability Levitate on, but for some reason he's still not Floating. I have to admit, I have no idea why. Perhaps someone could offer some input?

Also, since I totally replaced everything onto a new ISO before I patched it, that may also be the cause of some issues. I'll investigate further.

I'd just be happy to see a complete Llednar or Frimelda sprite. ^_^

That guy is Al-Cid Margrace, a member of the Rozarrian nobility in FFXII, and womanizer extraordinaire. He was also a usable character in FFTA2.

OK, I released an update which fixes a few glitches, namely the knockback and dual wield glitch. However, I had to use a totally new ISO and replace everything since you can't remove ASM's without a ton of knowledge and work. This means there may be errors, or the like, or I may be forgetting to replace some things. Also, Poeskas and Limberry have been nerfed. Also, special characters can now go on props.

Also, since this update comes in the middle of me working on the Aliste/Bremondt sidequest, Goland Passage has Aliste as a boss (albeit with the old lines and stuff) and Nelveska features Bremondt and Aliste as bosses. I haven't been able to replace their lines yet, but everything else works. I must admit, it's rather amusing to see Bremondt fume energy, like Worker 7. Please, keep reporting errors, people!

@Tidus: I think the knockback ASM is glitched. Not sure how I would revert it back, though.

@Zenius: Yes, one of my testers is at Zalera. Can't get any farther, though, because I need to nerf Fallen One and Elmdor. I'll release an update soon.
