Angel of Death?

[Lydyn]

Does anyone know if "Angel of Death" officially appears anywhere in the game? I saw him in one of the events, but it's unmarked and in some random battle with Elmdor and a bunch of random NPCs.

[Austin]

It's Elmdor's zodiac beast form job title.

[Sen]

Angel of Death is Zalera
Zalera is Elmdor he used the gemini zodiac stone

Of course you will fight him and that means he will appear officially.

[Austin]

I beat you!

[Sen]

its only a split second

[Austin]

That's all it takes.

[Lydyn]

Then what is the Ghost of Fury? I thought that was Eldmor's Zodiac form?  

[Vanya]

Isn't that Hashmal? No, wait. It's Adramelech.

[Lydyn]

... who? And Hashmal is the Regulator or whatever.

[Austin]

Adramelk is Dycedarg's zodiac form. Sounds like someone hasn't played through in a while.

[Lydyn]

Ooooohhhh... thanks a million guys! That helps a lot! Whew... and here I almost made Eldmor's Zodiac as tough as Arch Angel.  

[Austin]

You might as well have, he's a total pushover.

[Lydyn]

... well, I am making him better, but ... do you really think he should have these stats?

Arch Angel - Level 66
• HP Growth: 20
• HP Multiplier: 250
• MP Growth: 30
• MP Multiplier: 160
• Speed Growth: 100
• Speed Multiplier: 160
• PA Growth: 40
• PA Multiplier: 120
• MA Growth: 100
• MA Multiplier: 140
• Class Evade: 30%

[Austin]

Unless you're giving him some good innate abilities then that would probably be fine. Might be a bit high on the hp's though.

[Lydyn]

That's the Arch Angel... the final-final boss, assuming you're talking about making Dycedarg's Zodiac that tough. Assuming this, you know out to calculate those values into real numbers? I thought maybe it was (Growth * Level) * Multiplier/100 ... but only 3,300 seemed really low.

P.S. (As of right now..)

Ghost of Fury - Level 46
• HP Growth: 20
• HP Multiplier: 105
• MP Growth: 20
• MP Multiplier: 150
• Speed Growth: 106
• Speed Multiplier: 170
• PA Growth: 51
• PA Multiplier: 185
• MA Growth: 56
• MA Multiplier: 170
• Class Evade: 23%

This is from section 7 of the Battle Mechanics guide on gamefaqs.com:
The five surface stats of each unit -- HP, MP, Speed, PA, and MA -- are
determined from a set of five more 'raw stats' that are then multiplied
by job-dependent constants. The raw stats are never visible in-game,
but they are stored in the game's memory.

The stats you actually see are derived from these hidden parameters by
these equations:

                HP = [(RawHP * ClassHPMultiplier) / 1638400]
                MP = [(RawMP * ClassMPMultiplier) / 1638400]
                Sp = [(RawSp * ClassSpMultiplier) / 1638400]
                PA = [(RawPA * ClassPAMultiplier) / 1638400]
                MA = [(RawMA * ClassMAMultiplier) / 1683400]

Notes:

- If the final value is less than 1, it becomes 1 -- that is,
  revised_value = max{value, 1}.

- Enemy Zodiac beasts, in the special story battles where you fight them,
  have unique equations that determine their HP and MP:

                HP = [(RawHP * ClassHPMultiplier) / 163840]
                MP = [(RawMP * ClassMPMultiplier) / 163840]

  The division by 163,840 instead of by 1,638,400 accounts for the Zodiac
  beasts' extremely high HP and MP despite their unremarkable multipliers.

Edit: Raw stats:
                                     initial values
                         Gender   RSp     RPA     RMA
                         -------  ------  ------  ------
                         Male     98,304  81,920  65,536
                         Female   98,304  65,536  81,920
                         Monster  81,920  random  random

  Because the level up bonus is ultimately based on this initial value,
  females will have better MA growth than males, and males will have better
  PA growth than females.

  EXCEPTION:  Ramza starts with 81,920 of both RPA and RMA (but otherwise
  is a normal male, despite his appearance).
 
  Monsters have randomized initial RPA and RMA values.  A monster's initial
  values will lie between the two extrema for each stat, inclusive.
                     
                  Gender    initial RPA        initial RMA
                  -------   ----------------   ----------------
                  Monster   (81,920..98,303)   (81,920..98,303)

  However, RHP and RMP have random variation for all units, human and
  monster; different units will start with different amounts of RHP and RMP
  within a certain range:

                 Gender    initial RHP          initial RMP
                 -------   ------------------   ------------------
                 Male      (491,520..524,287)   (229,376..245,759)
                 Female    (458,752..491,519)   (245,760..262,143)
                 Monster   (573,440..622,591)   (98,304..147,455)

The hp growth, mp growth, etc. have to do with how much you get on lvl ups, and not actual stats, I think... This is confusing as hell to figure out.

[Lydyn]

I must be doing something wrong then ... 'cause 20 * 66 (Level) = 1,320 * 250 = 330,000 / 163840 = 2.014 ...

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he won't have 2 HP.  

Edit: I tried looking up that guide and about Raw HP and such ... but all it did was confuse me. >.<

[Lydyn]

Okay ... well, I got as far as saying 82,000 * 50 (Impure Kings Original Multiplier) * 20 (Level) / 163840 = ~500 ... which I read is around his HP. So that's a step ... but that doesn't quite answer what the freakin' Growth does in the FFT Patcher ... it's 12 originally ... I can't see how 12 = 82,000.    That'd make his HP = ~3,500.

Edit-Edit: Also just figured if I use their numbers, my Arch Angel will have anywhere between 57,756 to 62,690 HP and even at maximum damage of 999, it'd take 58-63 hits to kill him. I'm really starting to notice something is wrong here... either on the Guide's side or ours.

[Austin]

Can't believe I missed this link: www.geocities.com/sigmahaven/lvlsimbeta.zip

It was in the bmg guide too. Now we can finally figure out what the hell we're doing!

[Lydyn]

Awesome! Way awesome ... but still doesn't answer what Growth does, lol. Maybe it's safest to just... leave it?

Edit: Nevermind.... xD

Edit-Edit: I got around 3,600 actually, but...
