Next Question: Is it possible to make it so that it doesn't replace any of the Main Characters with other Main Characters? For example, I got a Seed that replaced Edgar with Sabin, and Sabin with Edgar. I don't want ANY of the 14 Main Characters from the game as any character. I already have a copy of spritereplacements.txt that I edited to remove the other sprites I don't want (like Potato), but I didn't see entires for the Main Characters, and I can't find a Flag or Secret Code to do that.

I'm not, but I've been passing the time by changing the entries on the list of male and female names. Adding named characters from the other titles with names of 6 characters or less, and of course, adding Quina to both the Male and Female lists. I've also deleted most of the animι names, as that's not my cup of tea.

 Sup nerds. Last time we dusted a clown and today we're off to find Luigi. Let's fuckin' roll.  I take the good crew. When I said that Ragnarok can easily break the game, I meant it. I hope you like items!  First we're looting the storehouse for some things we actually earned for once.       I also snag another Hyper Wrist and an Amulet. These are alright items. You might think the Ogre Nix is good with that sky high attack; it's not because of Fragile Wpn. quote:Will always try to use [12..19] MP to inflict a critical hit. When no MP can be used, no critical hit will be inflicted. Has a average of 28% chance of breaking (depends on the last digit's of the wielder's current HP). So sure, you'll hit pretty hard but there's about a 1 in 3 chance you'll lose the weapon completely. This make it only useful for Throwing, as the damage is based off of the item's Bat. Pwr. There's one last chest here.   code:  They get some measure of revenge when the front one reflects Pearl onto poor Pipimi, one shotting them.  This little guy shows up when someone's been asleep or confused or whatever for too long, and it heals them. I kill it shortly after anyway.  This is the only shop in town worth a drat and only because of that Chain Saw. I don't buy one as I don't have a Tools user.  This is where it begins. I spend a good long while Ragnaroking everything I can find. We'll fly through a lot of it since menuing isn't very exciting.   Vanilla but not unappreciated. Elemental defenses are amazing.  Marvel Shoes are 4 different relics smashed together. They give you Haste, Regen, Shell and Safe status all at once. You really can't go wrong with them.    I'm not a big fan of the Atma Weapon in general and this one is just strictly worse. Fairy Ring teaches Slow and extra magic is good. Blizzard is early but not TOO early; it also has +20 attack compared to vanilla.    More MP good. Tao Robe is normally something you buy in the World of Ruin and is the best Robe in the game. The Sneak Ring has a nice bonus to Speed and any attempts I make at stealing.   SwordBreaker is busted rear end good at this point, also normally available at WoR Maranda. It has +15 attack and a small bump to Mag. Pwr. Look at how swole Pipimi is with this stuff. Over time, I pick up a Chain Saw and Air Anchor as well.  Let's go find some more creatures to murder.  code:   The Strato is actually a downgrade from vanilla but an upgrade for Taiga. The other two are pretty close to normal.  code:   I also encounted some Tabbas from a previous update. Mirage Vest is a real good catch here, with a whopping +9 to Speed and immunity to a few physical hits in every combat.   I don't have a claw user yet but Dragon Claws are the second best claws in the game. The Tempest got hit by a rogue change effect; unfortunately turning Jump into Control is already covered by the FakeMustache. I'd rather use the FakeMustache and a much stronger weapon than the Tempest. That's RNG for you!  Oh and I farmed up a bunch of these I guess. (Eight of them)  This place has always felt like the FF6 equivalent of Mayberry to me. Just a small town in the middle of nowhere that houses a kooky coroner and the dead body of WuFei's amnesiac lover.  In fact, they'll let just about anyone into the cafe.  All the shops have nothing new or notable so instead let's sneak into the coroner's house and get some drugs.   Someone's already been here and forgot their hat! At least it's a little jaunty. Let's get out of here.  code:There's a joke about balls in here somewhere. They can't be Morphed into items for some reason. They do have Rippler as a Rage skill which could lead to some shenanigans.  code: I bet all those stray dogs come from Jidoor. Parents buying puppies for their spoiled brat kids then releasing them into the wild when the kids get bored. What a bunch of assholes.  All the rest of the stores here are too expensive and sell crap that I don't need, much like any tourist trap at a destination. I did find a store that sells Earrings (for 17k!) but as I am a man of the land, I have Hero Rings instead. I gnawed them myself from the bones of my enemies.   We steal a chocobo on the way out. I'm sure they'll figure out a way to make it tax deductible.  Next time, we enter Zozo in search of our friend, Saber Luigi Mario. Sorry for the smaller update, it's a busy weekend and I didn't want to leave the thread hanging.

I was just watching a friend stream some of this but all their party members ended up terrible. Not Sabin had R-Overcast and Sketch, and also some kind of innate Doom equipment on. No second attempt at the fight was made.

Hero Rings and Atlas Armlets don't stack because we wouldn't want Fight to be overpowered now would we? Having eight also lets me spread them around for multi party dungeons.

Well. Decided to give this a try myself. I wound up with Don Corneo replacing Terra, and if Biggs and Wedge are any indication then all the soldiers are little girls... I am less than comfortable with that, for multiple reasons. Haven't seen Locke or the moogles yet, since I just finished the armor section of the intro, so I can't say what they're like, but Corneo's presence alone tells me this will be rather unpleasant. For the record, Duo (Corneo) has the commands Fight, Mimic, Magic (not natural), and Item. Haven't gotten far enough to see anyone else yet, but he's... kinda bad out of the armor (which had some decent commands except for the complete inability to heal). Doesn't help that he's statistically inferior to Saber, except for a slight edge in Magic Power (and maybe HP. I don't think I checked). edit: Locke has been replaced with an off-color Lenna named Nia, whose commands are Fight, Tools, Sketch, and Magic. Makes Duo a lot more viable, especially since I started with some equipment that teaches Fire 2 and found something else that teaches Fire 3. Moogles, meanwhile, are a bunch of copies of Crono from Chrono Trigger; Mog (or rather, Knives) himself has Fight, SwdTech, Steal, and Item- odd combination, but workable. Edgar, meanwhile, has become a color-reversed Mario named Marcil, and his commands are Fight, Morph, Magic (still no natural users yet), and Item. Judging by the portrait, Sabin has become FF9's Garnet, and his (now her) name is Ankh. The spoiler file says her commands are Fight, Refquak (Reflect??? followed by Quake; sounds like it could be handy once I find a way to not get wrecked by Quake), W-Sourm (yes, doublecasting Sour Mouth, and thus guaranteed to ruin almost anything's day with ridiculous numbers of status problems), and Item. Definitely a status-infliction specialist; fortunately, Sour Mouth is a good choice of ability for said specialist. Meanwhile, Kefka has to put up with the indignity of being a Mr. Saturn. Also, I checked, and I have no Rage user at all. Can't say I'm too broken up about that; I never could use Gau well. CptWedgie fucked around with this message at 11:04 on Apr 30, 2019 |

Yup. There are literally no sources of the Rage command in the entire seed. Also, Shadow is a dog named Mako. At least it's more likely than a potato, though.

I've played a a few fair bit of seeds, trying to find one that I enjoy, and this has been an issue for most. They need to make a secret code to ensure you can get Heal Force on Terra, if possible. That, or do some kind of check where if Heal Force hasn't been assigned, they throw 20 or 30 Tinctures into your inventory.

The one bit of cheating I shamelessly indulge in is to generate a seed then immediately ctrl+f the spoiler .txt file for Rage, and delete and regen if it's not in there. I enjoy Rage too much to do without it

Honestly, you shouldn't need any healing for the Magitek section unless you get extremely unlucky. I've never seen anything immune to all three beams. That said, I've hosed up the Whelk fight by not paying attention and almost died a couple times. Viscous Soda posted:I just found this thread but I wanted to say, thank you!

I haven't tried the EX version of Beyond Chaos yet, but when I did the normal version, I started off with a Terra that couldn't cast magic, and a Locke with R-All.  The early game was hell.In fact most of that seed was pretty drat cursed.

 Final Fantasy IV: Somewhere In The World - I actually prefer the original Zozo music to this.  I bet y'all think I forgot about you. How could I disappoint my adoring fan?  This place is a real shithole. Might've been a nice purple at one point.  Even the enemies are bad. We fought these guys on the Phantom Train!   I still have the answer to this puzzle memorized after all these years. That's most of the reason I don't randomize the answer. I'm lazy, you see.  This was garbage even back in South Figaro   code: I hope she's not facedown in a puddle.   God this place is depressing.  There are safety rails but how slippery do you think these stairs are?  code:  Thanks for the junk, jerk.  I spoke too soon. A genuine thanks to the Ancisome! The only other attack x5 Rage I have at the moment has Aqua Rake attached. Grav Bomb *can* be helpful but at worst it won't work whereas Aqua Rake might heal something. The immunities and absorptions are just a bonus. (I forget about this Rage for a bit)   Seriously, give me something useful!  Oh hell yeah!   +7 MAG PWR BABY! A little bit less Bat. Pwr than vanilla but that's OK. One of the enemies here dropped a Striker as well. They're pretty nice but I still have that SwordBreaker for Pipimi. I'll keep this in my back pocket.  Oh hello friend! It in fact WOULD be great if you just let me through!  Rude. code:  gently caress. This may be a problem. Dadaluma can do all kinds of shenanigans normally.  Rule #1 of Permadeath: Always Use Float  Minor trivia: someone forgot a few pixels in the Cafe sign.   I was just kidding about this fight being a problem.   Alright fine, I outright lied about it. Are you happy now?  I'll never do it again this LP I swear.   code:The other chest had an Amulet.  H...uh...hey Saber. How are you feeling?  Who the hell are you, creeper?     I want off this ride, please.  Oh Jesus no not this place my eyes!  Just...just give me your crystal drugs and leave please.  Cutscenes happen and we pick the same group we just had for consistency's sake.  Esper names aren't randomized but you'll notice I can't equip any of them on Minori. This is the dancingmaduin code at work.   These are the only two people in the current party that can equip an Esper. Bolt and Poison are whatever, Warp is very handy. It can be used to escape a "Hard To Run" battle and also leave a dungeon you're in. We'll check the other Espers once we get someone that can equip them.  I also snagged a couple of these from a mob in the city. Doom on a proc is cool, Evade is cool, I'm not real big on the Soul Sabre's gimmick otherwise. It drains MP instead of HP. Sure, that might be useful in a niche but it's not something you'll want equipped all the time. Usually a creature you'll need to drain MP to kill will also be immune to Doom.   Secret of Mana: Flight Into The Unknown - This is some pretty good music for an airship pilot, good work BC. Meet our gross next party member, Jon. They like to kidnap women and gamble.  MEE MEE MEE MEE  Oh jeez I hope he isn't charging for tickets, we're kinda broke.  Look man I just asked for a discount, I'm not trying to mug you here.   A wink and a finger waggle might calm him down.  Listen to me, god dammit! We can't advance the game unless you let us pretend to get our Opera Floozy captured.  I always feel like somebody's watching me And I have no privacy I always feel like somebody's watching me Tell me is it just a dream?   I've never heard of a grim post-apocalyptic opera before. Maybe I'm just uncultured.  Wait...where's our old white dude? I'm so confused. Special sprites like this don't get replaced.  This is a textless ROM. I have no idea what this letter says.  I refuse to ruin one of the best parts of FF6 with my pointless banter so we're skipping the singing scene.   GOTTA GO FAST  code:They're also very dangerous with all those skills. Lucky for me I dodged all the rest of the rats and didn't have to fight them.  I'm sorry I lied again, I murdered most of them.   COMIN' THROUGH! Taiga looks very upset about this whole process.  code: Checking for elemental weaknesses is always helpful. Unless the enemy has Reflect.  Oh Jesus.   Smell ya later.  I don't need your pity!   What a dramatic entrance. Surely someone would have noticed him docking his airship to the Opera House?   "Show me the real Pipimi."   "I said the REAL Pipimi."   "Perfection."  This is no way to treat an old white man.  Did everyone sign their consent forms? Oh, Pipimi didn't? Too bad for you, Jon.  We flip a coin to see who's getting this orgy started.  Both sides of the coin said "No orgies until you stop the Empire." The coin has spoken.  Next time, we tackle a continent spanning Empire all on our lonesome.

God, the loving opera house rats. The randomizer turns an originally trivial area into a potentially harrowing one. Personally I couldn't get through in time unless I dodged all but one of the rats, because they had been yanked up to miniboss stats.

Well, I've come back to this after what is no doubt far too long of a hiatus. I... don't recognize Banon, and his portrait is blurry (sorta resembles Locke's vanilla portrait, I think?) so I can't figure him out that way; I don't think I'll need to worry too much about him dying, since he's got good equipment and GP Rain (Sketch I'm not so sure about). At least the Returners' Hideout was quite generous. I mean, I got a Mystery Veil (currently only usable by Marcil and Ankh, but a very large upgrade in basically every way) and Genji Armor (an even bigger upgrade in every way) there. The Regal Cutlass they came with isn't too great, since it drops Duo's MBlock to 0 (mainly using it because it's a 29-point upgrade in attack power over the MithrilKnife I was using before), and the Ninja Gear has the issue of dropping both Vigor and Magic Power (on the bright side, it gives a lot of defense and boosts Speed by 2, the latter of which I desperately need), but at least they sell Dried Meat for cheap here (probably my best option for healing for the foreseeable future; Tonics are hard to find and surprisingly expensive, I don't think I've found a place to buy Potions yet, and I have no way to learn any Cure spells at this point).

Okay, just got my first Natural Magic user: Celes' replacement is Hassan (Delita sprite with a sort of "dark knight" palette, command list is R-Wild, Throw, and Magic). Seems quite useful. Starting spells are Cure, Demi, W Wind, and Imp; no good damaging spells in that list (and the spoiler log says that he won't get any until level 43, but that'll give both Ice 2 and Pearl), but Cure alone makes Hassan worth it.

Cure is a godsend when it's early game. You're usually broke and can't afford much healing, if there is any available. If your commands are good enough to easily farm GP, you probably don't need the healing.

...Huh. Remember how I had something that teaches Fire 3? Turns out TunnelArmr was weak to Fire, so I wound up one-shotting it. Also, an update on Mako: Natural Magic user #2. Commands are GP Rain, Jump, and Magic, starting spells are Fire, Bolt, Poison, Rasp, and Mute. Spoiler log says he(?) only naturally learns Cure 3 (not Cure or Cure 2), but he does so at an absurdly low level (26). I'm not gonna need THAT much healing anytime soon, I can guarantee that. edit: ...WTF. Cyan's replacement (a pigeon named Kaoru) is also a Natural Magic user. Commands are OverLag (apparently Overcast followed by Lagomorph), ?-Heal, and Magic, starting spells are Cure, Antdot (which is nice, since the enemies around Doma poison), Mute, and Safe. Ankh's scenario is pretty drat magical. CptWedgie fucked around with this message at 18:55 on May 12, 2019 |

  Last time, we cheated a little and got all of our jobs ahead of time by tweeting everything at Gilgabot at once. I like having all my jobs ready to go, you know? Today, we're going to rush through the Wind Shrine and beat the poo poo out of Wing Raptor, then we're off to Tule! It's so nice that the game gives you a boat so early, so we ca- why is everyone looking at me like that? IT'S FIESTA TIME, BABY!  Alright alright, fine, we'll go to the regular update. Last time we cheated at a game of chance to convinced a kidnapper to instead take us to the Imperial City.  His airship doesn't have much special for sale though Warp Stones are kinda cheap.  Albrook is the nearest town and is pretty disappointing.     Out of all this stuff, I only buy a Czarina Ring to see what it does.  Low HP Shell/Safe aren't useful at all but +10% MBlock is pretty nice.  Oh no, a Monster in a Box! We're dooooooomed!  Just kidding these things are suckers. Let's got see what's out in the wild.  code:No, you're right, it's actually pretty lovely.  code:  Instead, I turn it into the second best piece of heavy armor in the game. The defenses are slightly lower but hey it was free!  Like I said, enemy locations are weird. These little things are supposed to be in Zozo and the Phantom Train, not here. They don't like asteroids.   Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Fossil Labyrinth - I rented this game as a kind once and hated it. I actually didn't like RPGs at all until a friend loaned me his copy of this game for my birthday and I fell in love. We made it in one piece!  gently caress you, grandma.  Take your lovely guards on out of here.   Times are tough at the item shops. If you carry stuff that's too good, you'll probably get carted off to jail. Carry lovely items like these, and you'll go out of business.  Hmm, what's this place back here? Looks heavily guarded.   We take advantage of an old man having a stroke to sneak our way through.  THIS is why we're here. To free all the captive Espers and really stick it to The Man. Star Ocean: The Second Story: Rescue Operation - While this music is pretty good, nothing can beat the original Magitek Factory theme.  code:Final Fantasy VII: Fighting - They do come with their own music! I'm honestly not sure what triggers it but it's attached to certain formations.       Neither of the first two are all that impressive. Little bit more attack on the Cards and slightly worse defense on the helmet. I'm still curious who my Gambler is going to be because I would love to give them those Trump cards. They're actually 21 Bat.Pow lower but have a small bonus to speed and a nice bonus to Evade that the regular ones don't have. 25% chance to kill something that isn't immune to Death is just icing. I also found: Two X-potions Two Bio Blasters More Cards Poison Rod Vanilla Earrings   And this handy little fella! A few extra points of damage but also a negative to MBlock. Attack procs like Shiva there, if they are normally Multi Target, should only target the person you hit with them. I had a Guardian dagger once with Merton as a proc. Hell of a thing to have as early as Mt. Koltz.   This is normally the best Heavy Shield in the game. The other three are Heavy, Golden and Diamond Shields. All the really good ones are considered universal because everyone but Umaro can equip them. This one is a bad example of a Crystal Shield, lower in everything but the Evade.  code: This place is a mess. Do they really thrown organic stuff in with the metal and plastic recycling? That's just going to be a problem for whoever has to empty the dumpster.  code:  Regal Crown is fine, who cares. The Coin Toss is the new hotness here. GP Rain is pretty nice but not as nice as another Mind Blast + Quasar user! I'll definitely be throwing this onto Ranma when I have them in a party.  YEOWCH!  code: Fire 2 does somewhere around 20% of my HP to everyone but Pipimi who has fire immunity from an item. Ifrit casts it pretty often.  Ifrit is also immune to Pearl.  But not asteroids! Go Quasar go!  Nice.   Shiva doesn't like asteroids either and responds with...a Fire Beam?  That is reasonably significant damage at this point.  The real hardcore strategy for this fight is to...run away. Yes, really. It counts as a win as far as the game is concerned.  code:  The first pack did Magnitude8 as a death counter, the second fight used Dread  code: (This is what happens when those hanging sentry sprites in vanilla get replaced)   The Darts are a poor replacement for the usual elemental sword you can find here. Straight downgrade from normal.  code: They ate poo poo.  Strap in everyone, we're doing three bosses (relatively) in a row.  code: Taiga punches it.   WuFei brings the light of god down upon it.   Nice x2.  Must've been an obsolete unit!  Kefka's sprite is way too excited.   Just imagine this for the next few minutes.  code:Maybe it'll go down smooth like the other guy.   The arm doesn't appreciate being punched but the main body looooooves some Pearl action.   Sprites are silly sometimes.   Bolt 3 has a kickin' rad animation and sound effect. This boss had some decent skills but didn't really use them to full effect. Which is fine, I hate the minecart section.   code: Time to go!   Aw sonuvva bitch! code:The left Crane is the Level 23 one. They both have ridiculous skills, including that attack x4.5, Giga Volt and Fire 3.   We have a Tools user! Control is also a good thing to have. Many dangerous creatures can be neutered with that command.  I said they were dangerous but I didn't mention their relatively low HP count. These Cranes go down like chumps.  We made it! I can't believe we made it! Admiral Joeslop fucked around with this message at 06:01 on May 29, 2019 |

I got a Bannon with a Crusader proc the other day, which was a very scary few seconds. What are your thoughts on opening chests in permadeath runs? Usually theyll have sweet things, but especially on promising seeming seeds I'm beginning to think they're just not worth the risk.

ItBreathes posted:I got a Bannon with a Crusader proc the other day, which was a very scary few seconds. I used to open all of them. Recently I've learned a few things. -Never ever ever open the chests in Doma Castle in the WoB, you will inevitably get something like KatanaSoul. -The chests that upgrade in Narshe and Figaro Cave will still upgrade their tier so you have a chance of getting better items if you wait until the WoR. -This also applies to the outside chests in South Figaro. -The chests in Figaro Castle are almost always never worth it. You're at your weakest and the chests tend to either have garbage or a MiaB. -Additionally, any outdoor chests (like the ones in South Figaro) will be upgraded further in the final dungeon if you happen to get that map. So basically, ignore everything until Mt. Koltz, get some of it later, and the rest sometime in the WoR. Save South Figaro for the final dungeon just in case.

Maybe since ProtoArmors are bugged out of rages they get bugged out of the randomizer?
