Made lots of progress and am now riding the rails!

Had to hack in some arca at one point because it was getting too tedious. Lower some of those prices, particularly the 500-arca inn.

In fact, I barely have enough PSI power to heal all my HP back now that my HP are over 400! Could you have the effects of Aura bumped a little as your levels rise? Getting 48 HP back is great when you only have 100; not so great when that's 10% of your HP and you can only use Aura nine times.

A minor graphic fix I'd like to see: when you exit the Divide (? where you need to break the seal and enter the snowy area), there's no visual evidence of an exit on the field. So when heading backwards, it's not clear where you should go. The other north-exiting caves have graphical evidence of the exits when you get out to the field, so this one should too.

Would also be nice to see the contents of a chest before deciding whether or not to drop something in order to get it. Not as much of a problem in the original FF where you have 16 slots for items; here, where you only have four, it's becoming a big hassle.

This game really is deep and involved. The best RPG hack I've ever played.



Edit: A bit stuck now -- the new areas I can reach are all filled with insanely powerful monsters. At one point I reached a dead end and fought a monster named Pyro (final boss?) who gave me a thorough whooping. Also found a red-interiored building where I couldn't do anything in the inner sanctum (lacking an item, I imagine). Have the EMP and two nice guns: the Vulcan (accurate) and the Rail (powerful but unreliable). Where am I "supposed" to go now?



Edit again -- I've finished the game! There was a certain switch I hadn't seen, which was the key to the next stage of the story. Finished the last battle -- and it wasn't obvious that this was the whole shebang, since I'd been demolished by Pyro earlier and I still don't know what's behind him, nor do I know what happens if you defeat the She-Bitch (somewhat redundant, that), and I couldn't even come close to defeating either of them.

I've got a great screen shot of the last moments of the last battle -- Sargon has 1 HP remaining! On a cartridge, I never would have gone for it on that last shot; I would have used an Auratap.

BTW, is there level 8 magic? I never found any and had been wondering if those robots in the catacombs might have it.

This is a fantastic game and was well worth my time. More commentary later!
