So does the official release work with the saves from my Beta copy?

6156585
It should, yes, presuming you’re playing a relatively recent beta. Just rename the files to all have the same name.

6156577
I might check this out later, but right now, since this was a repeated issue, I decided to check this out first. The issue's still there. Orbital FC is still significantly weaker than the Bahamut Summon, which was what it originally used to be.

So is this the official out of Beta release?

6156959
Yes

Wonder if I should start over from where I was in the previous beta version? Not that I was that far unfortunately. I haven't made any progress past the reunion of the three scenarios at the beginning of the game. Considering the major differences between this and 1.0 I would actually like to redo my LP eventually.

6157063
So I guess that damage balance isn't gonna be fixed?

6157312
I was out today.

Anyway, OFC has 79 power and ignores defense and split damage; Spike has 120 power and ignores defense but not split damage.

6157323
That's the issue right there. Ignoring split damage in exchange for power is not a good trade. That's only a good trade for facing random encounters since like 90% of bosses fight alone. And there's no point in risking something like that for random encounters. That's what makes it a downgrade.

6157352
Fair point. Maybe swap the two values?

6157357
Well... huh... I wanted to say that would be a downgrade for the Spike Summon, but I don't really see that. Without Celestia, you can only summon an Esper once per battle, which is perfect for random encounters. I guess in a way, that would benefit both skills really. So I say, yes.

6157375
And done.

6157413
Odd... If their base power and split damage was swapped like you said, somehow the Spike Summon came out stronger than usual. Comparing the 2 versions, base 79 on Orbital FC was only doing 5,100 while base 79 on Spike is doing 6,600. But the swap from the 2 base powers of 120 matched, so no more problems with that.

6157453
Well, it wasn’t a literal swap of values (79 would be too low for Spike, I think; the other Espers, if not defense ignoring, are at least 70). Spike is now 100 while OFC is 110.

Help I fell in a Hole!

Apparently I clipped into the Mirror Pool and can't get out. Also, Pinkies everywhere.

6160019
Whoops! Sorry will have to wait on tonight for a fix

6160019
Fixed, redownload the rom

If this is the official release, how come it isn't Sticky'd like the 1.0 version?

6161807
Whoops thought it was

Updated rom.

More Silly Ponies in Silly Places:

Apple Bloom's sister was secretly Twilight All Along!

Yeah, I went into the Applebloom Recruitment scene with Twilight and AJ as my only party members, and I had Twilight leading the party at the time. So when I started the cutscene, the game made Twilight act out AJ's scenes for her.

For Posterity, here are my party positions when I started the cut-scene:

6177386
Hm, thanks, I’ll take a look.

6177386
Rom updated, let me know if this works please.

6178724
I really shouda' saved before the cutscene... this might take me a bit. Last save before the cutscene is... my emergency pre-Crystal Factory Save.

6178922
0_0 Um, it’s okay then. I imagine other folks will find this if it isn’t fixed.

6178932
The stupid thing is, due to my own personal ordering of events, I fucked up my own backup saves for this...

I wanted a theif before doing the Gallery, but I hate doing the Phoenix Cave and thus got Flash nearly last. If I just blitzed the cave with Smoke Bombs and Scoots with a Ribbon, I would have a savestate with the Sundowner Decision before the Applebloom cutscene. But instead, I picked Applebloom (nearly) first and in turn fucked up the rest of my savestates with Arena Shenanagins.

6179016
Damn, that sucks.

On my way back through the first like third of the game to catch up to where I left off on youtube. Currently just finished Gryphon Stone and on way to opera house.
I AM A FREAKIN IDIOT. I just loaded the wrong save state and then saved over the wrong one. Now I have to go through the Griffinstone all over again. *head desk*

I've discovered a consistent freeze during the fight with Discord in the Decisive Battle segment. When you've reached the second stage of the fight and he has his dialogue mid-combat, then uses his special move, the screen blackens, freezes, or freezes and blackens afterward, becoming unresponsive. The battle music continues to play.

I should note that I loaded the game on a SNES Classic, so perhaps this is a problem unique to that console's emulator. I can't test it with SNES9x at the moment, as I don't have a save on my computer with version 2.0.

6188685
I'll check it out, thank you. Sorry for the late response.

6188685
Tested on ZSNES, works fine. May be the SNES Classic then?

6190961
I figured it probably was just the emulator, not the ROM. Welp, time to bring out the 8BitDo SNES30 controller and load it on my pc, then.

... unfortunately, it probably isn't easy to extract my save file from the SNES Classic. Oh well.

Just downloaded it, did not finish playing version 1, and due to my stupidity in handling the folder I keep my games in lost my data, but as long as that is kept available (updated or not) just so people can choose what one they want to play it's all good. The only bright part is from what I recall from my last data is I was ready to assault Discords tower so as long as that part remained unchanged it should not matter that much

I'll likely like both, Version 1 would just be "vanilla" while version 2 would be the version for the later seasons.

6191670
Version 1.0 is still available for download, but will no longer be supported or updated. There were significant event changes made to change Apple Bloom in for Maud and it is more effort than it is worth to me to attempt to keep two separate roms identical in terms of gameplay and balance otherwise.

As for using your 1.0 data for 2.0, don't. There are significant gameplay changes that will show in your file and there may be glitches or corruption.

6191777

I was not intending to use the data from version one for version two, my main concern there was what I might be missing from not completing version one. Since I was at the endgame (discords tower) the only things might be some bosses and the last bits of dialogue which I assumed, aside from replacing Maude with Bloom, would have remained unchanged.

Awesome! Time to play again!

I'm running into the same issue as Sir Mediocre during the Discord fight. Right after he casts Chaos Soul the display glitches out but the music keeps playing, the game has stopped though because no other sounds can be heard. The character he casts it on changes what the glitched screen looks like but in all cases the game stops.

Using Snes9x-x64

Tested in Zsnesw and got the same issue but with a frozen screen instead of a glitched one. Both emulators were latest releases. I'll try on different PCs tomorrow.

6205416
This has been updated and fixed, redownload the rom.

6205470
Working great, thanks for the quick response, loving the game.

I can't help but ask... In the Trottingham Opera House, is that Tempest Shadow sitting in the audience?

6207444
No, the opera house audience was unchanged.

6208977
I'm a dolt... I meant to say the Auction House. I don't think that's changed either because I think I've seen the same coloration in other NPC ponies, and I think the coloration was meant to be Ms. Cheerilee's, but I just noticed between the coat and eye color and the mane style appearing to be a mohawk from the back that it kind of looked like her.

6208978
Ah, okay. Well, regardless, no, no one was specifically based on Tempest Shadow.

As far as art goes, I expanded Apple Bloom's sprite sheet and added some new enemy sprites, all before the movie came out, so there's no graphics based off any movie-only characters.

Just a small question (missed the beta, so maybe it has been answered):

If the Esper stat bonuses have been removed, then do the characters still gain new stats in some other way? I don't know if they do naturally in vanilla FF6, so I'm curious.

6212554
No, there is no natural stat growth. The stat bonuses attached to equipment and the higher innate stats the characters start with are to make up for this. Late game especially, expect to stumble across a lot of equipment pieces that give +5 or more to multiple stats, especially the ultimate weapons for each character.

6156577
You haven't updated your running list with your recent Wind glitch fixes.

6237974
right, thanks.

6156577
Still need to add your latest update to the tally list again.
