FFT: Newtype (Playable Demo in One Week, Armor Posted)

[Zenius]

"Balthier" still has his Cloud sprite. IDK why.

Now I need to grind for the DD I guess >_< I wish there was an easy way to powerlevel.

[Eternal]

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

[Zenius]

Well, it might be just me so IDK

Let the grinding begin

[Zenius]

Am I allowed to turn on my Enemy Levels Doubled code for grinding?
Just a thought...

[Eternal]

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

[Zenius]

Hmm OK I'll do that to LV99 and post reports of DD progress.
I'd record videos but my PC is too crappy :S

[Eternal]

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

[Zenius]

Well, NOGIAS wasn't that tough ^^
Although I'd like to point out that Mateus makes a male sound when she dies xD

Intentional, Mateus is a Dark (Male) Scion controlling the Goddess of Ice (Likely Shiva from her looks), thereby the one being killed is the puppetmaster, not the puppet.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

only 9 different sprites, not sure what's causing it.

[LastingDawn]

I think the problem might be is that the game loads the parties too early and the Izlude/Alma sprites might be taking up a spot before they are properly dismissed. Just a guess though.

[Samuraiblackbelt]

text issues

[Zenius]

All this time I didn't know Mateus wasn't a female :O

All battles in TERMINATE done
The Assassins were time-consuming D:
Off to DELTA!

Oh, and Rafa being able to hit herself is...

[SilvasRuin]

Well, there were only two indications that Mateus was male anyways.  There's the FFXII lore, and it doesn't really tell you that outside of the bestiary, and there's FFII.  If I remember correctly, Mateus is the emperor.  Though really, that incarnation does seem to like appearing feminine, which doesn't help dispel confusion any.

[Eternal]

@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.

[Eternal]

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

[Zenius]

Wow, Orlandu squad with Ribbons is so evil ><

EDIT: They seem to love using their Thunder spells :S

[Eternal]

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

[Eternal]

OK, so I need some feedback for some changes I'm considering making. The first and foremost is changing Rafa and Malak to use 'Twincasting'. Their skillsets will have skills of the same name, and each spell used individually is almost useless, or outclassed by a normal spell. Together, however, their spells will be able to deal heavy damage, or other severe effects. They will have about the same Speed Growth/Multipliers so their Speed will be about the same, and the CT of their spells will also be similar, so their spells should go off nearly back-to-back. Listed below is an overview of the skills I'm considering giving them.

1.   Pandaemonium   
Rafa casts Float on all enemies, and Malak damages all enemies with a Wind attack, which dispels Float.

2.   Pyroblast      
Rafa casts Oil on an enemy, and Malak damages the enemy with a Fire attack, which dispels Oil.

3.   Petit Meteor   
Rafa casts Faith on an enemy, and Malak damages the enemy, dealing heavy damage and dispelling Faith.

4.   Forsaken      
Malak casts Undead on an enemy, and Rafa casts Raise.

5.   Shadow's Edge   
Rafa casts Vanish on the target, and Malak attacks with a normally very inaccurate, but powerful attack.

6.   Pox         
Rafa casts Undead on an enemy, and Malak casts Poison.

The next thing I need an opinion on is the new monster skills I intend to give monsters, so they'll be more varied and interesting to fight.

[Zenius]

Dang, thats a nice lineup of monsters.

Oh, and the Performer fight down in VALKYRIES is bugged.
Try it and you will see what I mean.
