Final Fantasy Hacktics

Since 1.3 has no brave/faith up abilities, I take it it's impossible to just remove the permanent increase? I still want some brave/faith altering abilities, but I'd hate 97/03 too. Would be kewl.

Edit: I said nothing. Thanks.

Actually, forget it Razele.

With Load Formation all the game does is find the Sprite Set from your rooster matching the ENTD one. That means if I Load Formation a Generic Male, as soon as it finds a Generic Male it will use that one, guest or not.
If none are present in the rooster, it simply creates a null unit.
My generic guests are all for nothing...

This also explains the unit "duping".

Pfff, i could't get it.

Once i make the changes to ramza in Scus942 by hex editing, what do i do afther ?
Everything i tried makes it crash/no effect.

It's strange that a few people think the previous Concentrate suggestion is good.
Increasing hit rate from 30% to 59% isn't good at all.
I would rather equip Attack UP on my Archer and kill other units without good evasion, like Wizard
and use Lancer / Samurai / Summoner with 100% hit rate to kill high evasion units.

The new concentrate should increase hit rate from 24% to 60% - 80% or no one would use it.
I will change how it works, since increasing base hit rate
doesn't affect hit rate for skills like "Battle Skills", something that Old Concentrate do.

New concentrate suggestion :
Increasing hit rate based on your health condition.
Concentration loss is capped at Br%.

100% health will result in 100% hit rate.
50% health will result in 53% hit rate (assuming you hit the target from front and the target wears Weapon Guard, Materia Blade, Crystal Shield and Feather Mantle, see tables)

An archer with 50 Brave and 30% HP will result in 53% hit rate, since concentration loss is capped at Br%. See tables for more detail.

This is logical. You should be able to concentrate more when you're healthy.
When you're losing too much blood, you won't be able to concentrate properly.

Note : It's almost the same as how Old Concentrate works, except instead of just nulling evasion,
it cuts opponent's evasion based on your health condition.
If your HP is at 70%, it cuts your opponent's evasion by 70%.

QuoteOf course Abandon (I think that was the name) probably makes things a whole lot messier..

Don't worry, with Old Concentrate gone, Blade Grasp and Abandon probably will be gone too.

Which hack did you use ?

Blade Grasp? Gone? Elmdor needs that.

Anyways, another suggestion:

How about a support that makes all offensive skills ignore ally/caster? I don't think it's strong enough to be a support though. I think it would be better off as a accessory ability.

if it makes all defensive skills ignore the enemy, then it'd be good. Summons and draw out already ignore, so there is not much to gain.

So eh where's those ASM hackz to force Ramza to lvl 10 / 20 / 30 at the start of chapter 2 / 3 and 4 if his level is below this amount?

no, but I do plan to annihilate them

yeah I have trouble spelling annihilate, wanna fight about it?

get on topic

QuoteSo eh where's those ASM hackz to force Ramza to lvl 10 / 20 / 30 at the start of chapter 2 / 3 and 4 if his level is below this amount?

1. Forcing Ramza's level won't raise his stats.
2. That function is located in SCUS_942.21 so it's not possible to add another code, like conditional check.

Razele, i meant i went in SCUS_942.21 and changed Ramza starting stats... but i simply don't know how to apply the changes properly, because importing it over the ISO one kills my game.

* Merged Throw Item with Bags

QuoteBlade Grasp? Gone? Elmdor needs that.

Elmdor still have old Blade Grasp.

QuoteHow about a support that makes all offensive skills ignore ally/caster? I don't think it's strong enough to be a support though. I think it would be better off as a accessory ability.

Since this support ability will be global to all skills, it will boost Truth / Untruth power greatly, since you can just surround enemies and Truth/Untruth will only hit one panel. Aside from Truth / Untruth, it's not that useful. Sometimes, you want to hit your allies with Fire 3 to heal them.

Are you sure you're patching a clean ISO ?
Try to change a few starting stats first, like Weapon / Shield / Min Pre-RawHP first and see if it works.
I believe Lasting Dawn also changed Ramza's starting items and level.
Since I don't hear any problem from him, that means it's working properly.

that is fine, it would be a penalty for not leveling up normally with ramza then

so, impossible?

thats too bad, it sounds nice, wont let you squeak by with low level characters if you set all event battles to have party level + battles

Quoteso, impossible?

Quotethats too bad, it sounds nice, wont let you squeak by with low level characters if you set all event battles to have party level + battles

I'll think several solution to this problem, this is one of them :

To overcome level 1 challenge 'problem', just set several battles at fixed level, while others are set at party level.
For example, all enemies at Doguola Pass can be fixed at level 50, Bed Desert at party level, etc.

If players are still at level 1 in Doguola Pass fight, I would like to see how they beat
those fights at 200 HP, 100MP, 6 PA, 6 MA and 2 Speed difference.

I like the base hit rate % Concentration idea. 200% sounds good.

this won't help much, because you can bring in lvl 1 ramza Reaction / Evasion  / Reraise Tank to take hits, + 4 lvl 50 generics strong enough to defeat a particular battle, then kick them out once you win

 so it still makes lvl 1 challenge possible

I'm talking having the game itself bump up Ramza's level at some points in the game, if his lvl is too low

impossible?
