I'm using ePSXe 1.7.0 to play PSX FFT 1.3. This is actually the second time I've tried playing though this hack and don't remember having this problem before ( I'd just beaten wiegraf the second time at the church and my save got lost when the drive got wiped clean). This hack is really fun but can be really frustrating. Anyway I noticed this bug involving death sentence status and I wanted to see if you know about it or know what emulator the game works best on. Death sentence didn't kill the person when time runs out, it just ends like when haste and slow end. I noticed it when I did secret fist on a number of squires and they survived. Same thing happened when a bat monster caused death sentence to one of my team. Other than that everything seems to be working properly. I think I might try different or older emulator version, but get back to when you can. Thanks.
Wrong forum.
Oh okay. I guess I'll check out the help forum. It doesn't look like it was a bug anyway. Death sentence killed the target, but did not everytime. I'm not sure if that was part of the hack or not but whatever.
Your unit was wearing a Judo Outfit, Chamelion Robe, or Angel Ring, most likely.
Anything that has Cancel: Dead will cause Death Sentence to "wear off" when it hits 0 instead of killing the character. However, that character loses their turn for when Death Sentence wears off, so they don't get off entirely free.
