luigi bros Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'm going to start a playthrouth of FE Inflation but I want to know some of the differances. The page on all the hacks is pretty basic so I thought I'd ask here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 From what I read in the thread, it sounded like everything was beefed up on all sides. But I also don't know so meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 You start out broken from the very beginning and stay that way >_>. Characters have more skill and higher growths, any1's "usable". IIRC, Nihil is very important for the final chapter unless you're a masochist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Rei Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nihil is indeed essential. EVERYONE ought to have it. I mean, the enemies have most stats capped, and Wrath/Ambush/Big Shield/You name it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also will it work with an English translation patch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Suggested pairings: Levin x Ayra Holyn x Sylvia Claude x Fury Midir x Aideen Tiltyu x Azel Finn x Lachesis Beowulf x Brigid Midir and Jamka can be switched. Finn gets a new set of weapons in the 2nd Gen, so pairing him is fine. Also, it doesn't work with a translation patch. As a rule of thumb, 2 IPS patches on one ROM is a bad idea.

_____ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Levin x Ayra is just for kicks, really. Skasha can become a Mage Fighter of sorts, so he can use Holsety after promotion. Holyn x Sylvia = Lynn being one of the the best fighters in your army. Corple is Corple. Claude x Fury so that the kids can use staves well, etc. Sety is still able to rape everything with Starlight. Midir/Jamka x Aideen is self-explanatory. Also, Lester starts with a 3~5 range bow that deals magic damage. Tiltyu x Azel is self-explanatory. Finn x Lachesis means the kids can be Charisma bots like they always are, but with Prayer, so dying isn't an issue. Beowulf x Brigid means that Patty is a decent fighter, and Faval still rapes everything in sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Dancer? What about their caps? Are they raised? Starlight? I'll use Jamka. OK. OK. I guess. How will my usual pairings end up? Aideen/Azel Aira/Dew Lachesis/Fin Sylvia/Claude Fury/Levin Tiltyu/Lex Brigid/Jamka How will these turn out? I have another question. What is with the Holy Blood? How does Sigurd have Ulir and a lot of other characters don't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inflation doesn't make sense, it rapes logic. Just play the game and enjoy your broken characters >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) There's branched promotions? Then this'll be good. Except what'll happen to there Strength growth? With little abuse, every 2nd gen character is likely to max everything. A Dancer? What about their caps? Are they raised? They can promote. That's just the beginning. How will my usual pairings end up?Aideen/Azel Completely redundant skills. Adean already has Prayer, Pursuit and Nihil (Azel's skills). Aira/Dew The lack of Ambush hurts Ayra's kids' enemy phase. Lachesis/Fin Already listed. >_> Sylvia/Claude You'll want to focus on Leen. Fury/Levin You can never go wrong with that. Tiltyu/Lex Elite sucks and Tiltyu already has Ambush. Brigid/Jamka Dunno.

luigi bros Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 So any pairing will work? Should I focus more on skills then? Also does Levin have Ambush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 So any pairing will work? Should I focus more on skills then? Also does Levin have Ambush? Skills and Holy Blood. If you plan on making somebody fight, an A rank is important, due to the abundant A rank custom weapons (which is why Holyn x Sylvia is recommended, for instance). Sigurd, Bridget, Fury, Lachesis, Lex, Levin and Arden have Ambush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_____ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Does it really matter? You'll see them later, and you'll probably just use the suggested pairings, anyway. >_>; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_____ Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) For a few characters, iirc. For example, Finn -> Paladin or Duke Knight Skasha -> Mercenary or Mage Lord Edited June 22, 2009 by Ninji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I do Aira/Levin I should do Mage Knight for Holsety, right? Also Mage Lord? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mage Lord = buffed Mage Fighter. For a few characters, iirc. Most 2nd gen characters, pretty much Finn only in 1st gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I'll try the suggested pairings. I won't regret that will I? All I'm worried about is Aira's kids' Strength with a magic father. Completely unrelated:Are the subs over-powered? I'm not going to get them but are they? I'm curius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levin's STR growth is 40%. Completely unrelated:Are the subs over-powered? I'm not going to get them but are they? I'm curius. Supposedly, but Fia got several bugs when trying to play with them. Maybe those bugs could have been averted if she had read the readme, but maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Also, it doesn't work with a translation patch. As a rule of thumb, 2 IPS patches on one ROM is a bad idea. Just for clarification, this isn't true at all. But if the patches overwrite data of one another, it's a problem. Twilkitri's reparation patch may have modified how the text works--it looked like he may have included dictionary encoding, which may not have existed in the original. The Japanese hacks have necessary modified code overwritten, there's a bunch of stuff missing after the reparation is applied, and it's broken. Basically, the two aren't compatible because they're being applied to the same thing. It'd be the same thing that if a place in the RAM was empty, one could use it to store a player's experience, but you couldn't really use the same exact position to also store the player items--unless they were made to both be stored together in some fashion. Obviously, the reparation patch and various hacks were not made on conjunction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnd Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just for clarification, this isn't true at all. But if the patches overwrite data of one another, it's a problem. Rule of thumb = guideline. The average user won't check the patch contents to verify compatibility. = I don't see how that "isn't true at all." >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Then, you shouldn't be able to use the addendum patch included with the Blume hack (for Thracia) that modifies the existing data of two characters to have them become two others (Daisy to Patty and Asaello to Arthur, or something like that?). Because that's applying two patches to one file I could also release a patch that changes only Olwen in the same hack to be a Shanan-esque Sety, as long as the modified data doesn't conflict with other necessary data. You can also, for example, pair most standard FFI hacks with Disch's animated water hack, as unless you're playing one with modified code (such as Dragoon X Omega II), the code that animates the tiles should run smoothly unless of course the hack changes which tiles are water... It's something that may be common sense not force two things together and expect them to work, but it's not something that always happens :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, why I said "Rule of Thumb" and not "always". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
