SPHERE'S PROFILE

author=demonlord5000
I'm definitively going to have to do an ultra difficulty run at some point. I only did normal the first time around because I was more interested in seeing all the changes.

From what I can tell, with my current levels/gear, the arena AAA match is impossible (least with my setup it is). stomp in particular destroys me due to it applying slow while hes already faster than me. In fact he keeps up even if I do pull off slowing him and hasting someone. My efforts have been fruitless with levels 50-51 (last arena match leveled me quite a bit), with full diamond gear. I think my best bet is moving on with the story to unlock more gear (in particular I need to find pieces of gear that negate the slow status). With that said, time to take my trip to the moon.

Should also mention I also didn't get the anima reference (and he was the first arena boss to stop me until I worked out a strategy), but then I couldn't get through ff13 due to the corridors. I need my exploration. that also made me not get the direct sequel even if it may be better. I've played a ridiculous amount of rpg/strategy games so I caught most of the references though.

I absolutely loathe FF13, but I figured I'd reference it so that it shows I acknowledge it exists in the series. LOL Enjoy the Moon! I had a real blast doing the final dungeons and went to town on perfecting things as much as I could. =)

I just updated the Data Patch (I had accidentally clicked the Start Player on the World Map to test it lol). Now it should work.

Hello.
I need a little help where is

Show

The fathers lair?I have missed where i should go and the man in Lunar whale are saying to me to go there.The man himself will be in Crystal palace he says.

I downloaded the latest patch and:script game system line 92 type error
no implicit conversion from nil to integer

What I does wrong, if game crashes on entering worldmap first time?
Error message below:
"Script 'Game_Interpreter' line 1411: NameError occurred.
uninitialized constant Game_Interpreter::Game_system"
What can be done to avoid it?

Apparently you guys didn't read the warning on the Data Patch download page. =P

IMPORTANT - Your save file may not work correctly or come up with an error when applying this patch. This is due to programming script fixes/additions/subtractions and unfortunately it's a bug of VX Ace not to handle it correctly. Always make sure to backup your existing data!

The only ways to fix this is to revert your build to a previous version when your save files worked or to restart the game. This is a common issue with games using VX or VX Ace unfortunately.

Took a break, came back, and started destroying the arena. I've gotten pretty far, and I haven't even visited the moon yet. Been going around exploring, and it surprised me when I tried entering baron castle and the guards told me no admittance on orders from the king. I wanted to check that underground throne to see if you added anything hidden there that only showed when you progressed so far.

I should also mention that the npc's dialog not getting updated during the course of the story is pretty glaring. Baron town for example the npcs keep saying the king is oppressing them even though I liberated it long ago. Yang's wife getting a dialog upgrade was a nice tough, but the kings was just sad if you visit him again.

Still haven't visited the moon, and currently working on the arena AA Match. Defeated the first match but the second one is a killer. 2.5k physical hits and 1.5k aoe hits, neither of which my curaja can quite outheal. Half wondering if I'm doing this sooner than intended but I'm determined.

The first issue is...very odd. All the new conversation after liberating Baron and the soldiers not barring your way should be there. I've triple-checked, and the switch that runs is part of an autorun event when you get the airship, and all the new convo is activated by it, and lets you re-enter Baron Castle with ease. Which tells me that, for some reason, while playing your computer decided not to read that switch. I've incorporated that switch upon exiting the Town of Troia. Hopefully that'll fix it up for you. I've uploaded the latest Data Patch with those fixes (be sure to backup your data before updating just in case).

As for the second thing, I beat the entire Arena at Level 60 with my party, but it wasn't easy to be sure. You're definitely under-leveled for that particular point in the Arena, but it may be possible to do at around level 50, but I know I couldn't do it. lol Best of luck! =)

Not much to report on my end. Just been hunting the dark crystals, and I assume the order I go in is my choice. Since the game told me the lieutenants were going after the tiamat/aegis crystals and the boss was going after the sealed cavern crystals, I chose to do tiamet/aegis/sealed route. Finished the first two and about to start the sealed route.

Main reason I'm posting is my friend ran into another bug. At the baron inn (right after you take the devils road from mysidia to baron), if you talk to your old teammate in the inn, if an npc is blocking one of the guards that are supposed to move, the game freezes. Worded this in a non-spoilery way since anyone who's played the original would know this section, and I left out the parts unique to this game.

Edit: Now that I'm going through, one observation on my end. The trap doors target seems a little off centered, so it's not obvious who he his targeting. Makes it a little harder for me to cast reflect on the right person.

Edit 2: Just got the lunar whale so now I'm relaxing in the arena a bit. Just won a minerva bustier and I'm curious what the deal with it is. Has no description, and actually lowers defense, magic attack, magic defense. I would think it would be better than the black garb since I haven't ran into a minerva bustier yet, but the stats show otherwise. Looks like I can't handle the round after yet, that mp drain is a killer. I'm in the lvl 45s so it might be possible, but not without preparing some ethers beforehand.

Damn those NPCs! lol no problem easy fix. =) And yeah the trap door target animation isn't centered dead-on, but I'll see if moving it a few more pixels will help.

I just put in a description for the Minerva Bustier, but basically the deal with it is that it puts emphasis on attack power, defense, and agility (plus it resists against Paralysis) at the detriment of magic attack and magic defense. I never used it in the original game either. lol I hope you're enjoying the Arena. It's one of my personal favorite areas in the game.
