Btw I greatly appreciate you reporting all these bugs and suggestions. There are some really good ones in here that I need to look into.
Fixed the shop. It should only be accessible by Jean.
Tweaked R-66Y’s Defenses, they were the highest in the arena.
Added monsters to Haunted House in Havenshire.
Fixed Rand’s Sacred heart ability. There was a conflict with HP gauges. Now using Sacred Heart will scan the enemy for you giving you all its Attributes, strengths, and weaknesses. It now also removes Stealth and Vanish from an enemy.
Stealth and Vanish are set to have a % to use every 2-3 rounds.
I did add “Injured” sprite changes to almost all the sprites when they are low on Health. It would be a good throw back to Breath of Fire I to have it do different things when certain enemies are low.
Regarding the sprites, BOF II has limited monster sprites; however, could look into other BOF assets.
I was torn on the max counter per instance area and hopefully will get more feedback on what people prefer. I think you are right though that Mt. and Tunlan body used that as a mechanic.
Readded Guard back between Ability and Item. It actually was removed because 1.0 screen size was 800x600 and the menu only had room for 4 slots (Attack, Ability, Special, and Item). Since the game’s battle has been overhauled that issue has been resolved.
I will reevaluate the experience gained throughout the game. You do level at an insane rate.
Reviewed and increased most bosses’ Health based at where you are in the game.
Really like the idea of the Dark Dragon/Solo skill tree. There is actually an ending where you recruit no one. It is just you and Bosch facing the world.
Added a few Oils that you can craft/cook at stove for weapon affinity and debuffs.
Reworking boss fight scenes for a more streamlined experience vs random. This should keep them from spamming the same move over and over. Also, all bosses now enrage on the 10th Round of battle.
I’ll release 3.2 here in a bit. Again I appreciate all your feedback and reports!
