I can't properly review this right now (I have a murderous headache), but I just wanted to say that everyone so far more or less started at your level (well except for me, but I'm also the one who discovered and documented 98% of event instructions) and that any feedback we give you is essentially just meant to make you more aware of what you can do to make your events more engaging. So far everyone who has kept at it wanting to improve are now making amazingly-looking events, so hopefully that's what you strive for too!

So even if the criticism feels overwhelming, I highly encourage you to listen to our opinions and re-record the changes so we can review again, until the event is more or less perfect. Both Elric and Nyzer learned very fast this way.

Well, English isn't my first language either; it's French. Just gotta keep at it and focus on improving, that's what's important.

And... where did you assume I lived? Because your post time is 11pm for me. Not exactly daytime.

For the PSX version, you can't change the skillset ID of a generic job. You have to edit the skillset they already have. Otherwise the game tries to read 'learnt ability' flags based on Job JP amounts and such; i.e. memory overflow.

Yeah, I think you jumped to conclusions because:
A) There is no reason to believe the hack or the tool caused this
B) There is no reason to believe other tools could "lessen" the effect
C) ePSXe is a pretty bad emulator with easily the worst audio emulation available out of the major emulators out there

Even though there's a lack of proper analog support on PC, I only play the PC version now because of laziness, mods and no jitter.

I tried making this hack on PC (as well making the cap 255 instead of 100), but ultimately failed... and this would have been very easy and fast for me to make these hacks on PSX, but... yeah, I don't play the PSX version anymore. :v

It's still nice for people who still play the PSX version though.

I'm sorry if the post broke any rules and/or annoyed you guys. Also, any thoughts/tips are welcome and needed.

Alright, here's the deal. We've literally never had anyone apologize in advance for breaking rules (you're far from the first one), and seen them break any rules. Ever. Many people who do break the rules are aware that they commonly do so in general, and can get extremely aggressive when being called out on it. Some things are just a lack of decency as human beings toward others, and they will hate being called out on those as well. They will defend their positions to the point of resorting to personal attacks. i.e. People who are the most concerned about breaking rules never do. I mean, it's obvious that you are a very good and mindul person, but there's no need to be so apologetic, you can make people far happier by focusing on what you can do to help them, rather than how to avoid hurting them!

It might suck to hear, but your sprite right now kinda looks like a smurf. Far too much blue. It might be hard to give the hair its own palette of colour, but it would help tremendously make the sprite appealing to the eye. But hey, you've actually created something; that's more than what 99% of people do around these parts.

If you don't mind taking many hours to edit the dozens of instances where he would look glitched in event as a result, sure. Or leave them as is—they don't hurt. They'll just make the story rather ugly to look at at times.

Save yourself some trouble and use Shishi to change the formation sprite/portrait instead of that Japanese translated program requiring you to use CDMage or whatever to import the files. Shishi just does it for you.

And if you're going to switch palettes that way, make sure "Match Pixels with Colors" isn't checked

Just put the .xml file in the same folder as FFTPatcher and all.

I have to agree, it sounds like you're using FFTPatcher in Wine or something through Linux.

If that's not the case... then definitely a problem I've never heard of before and I would try re-downloading the thing.
