[RELEASE] Golden Sun: The Balance Age

[Sora167]

HERE's a TLA save file with all characters at level 41, most endgame gear (i think the only two thing i don't have are the new ker's weight and dark robe) and all djinn, at Contigo. No superboss defeated. Uploaded especially for those who wanted to try fighting the new Star Magician, the other superbosses or just to try different builds.
Enjoy!

That's awesome thankyou :D I wanted to see what had changed at higher levels, and the endgame gear etc.
Can I ask, how did you change the way base damage psynergy works, so its affected by PP?? As I'm trying to make my own personal edit, and your idea of PP affected psynergy is an amazing idea!

[Caledor]

I edited the base damage formula. The story behind it is in the few first pages of this thread. I also released the PP multiplier patch as a standalone thing so if you want you can just download that patch and apply it to your rom. It's in the download section, both for GS and for TLA

Neat, I'll try to test it out whenever I get the time. :)

I searched and searched for the info about it, but no luck   Tbh, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I've been using the editor to edit my games, so the PP patch doesn't work with it.   . I wish there was a way to edit the editor lol, as I'm useless at hacking.

On another note, Saturos just obliterated my party. Time to grind some more, yay. He is so much harder in this patch. I am struggling with the lack of cheap damage (summons).

Why shouldn't it work? The only patch it conflicts with is the simple summons from Lord Squirtle cause it's already included in mine.

[Sora167]

I tried it out with my edited ROM, and the names of everything had completely messed up. Will give it another go though. Also, beat Saturos yay. Its so nice having him be an ACTUAL challenge now, like you expect (even though he is weakened by the Mercury Lighthouse)

[Caledor]

Fox's little tool works wonders! 1.26 is coming!

[Rolina]

This pleases me greatly.

Let me know if you want any custom icons. :3

[Caledor]

Well I lack Meltdown, Tyrfing, Ker's Weight, and Dark Robe icons. Would you like to give it a shot?

[Rolina]

Give me a description of each so I have something to work with, and I'll give it a shot. ^-^

[Caledor]

Tyrfing is a Venus equivalent of Quick Strike. It uses the animation of Titan Blade, so i was thinking of something like a vertical ragnarok/odissey with small rocks behind it for the icon. (it uses ragnarock's icon for now)

Meltdown is the Mars equivalent of Quick Strike. It uses the animation of Purgatory, so... a tweaked Supernova? (it uses liquifier's icon for now)

Ker's Weight is a cursed staff, the strongest of the game. It uses the demonic staff icon for now.

Dark Robe is a cursed robe (duh :P). It uses the ninja garb icon for now.

Thanks!

[Rolina]

I see.  If you had your way and also magical art powers, how would the staff and robe be described?  I think I can figure out something for the first two, though if you had a custom animation in your brain you could describe it'd help even more.

[Caledor]

Well, I'd rather have the Ker's look unique among the staves, like Clotho Lachesis and Atropo are, with dark colors and the red outline cursed items have.
About the Dark Robe, I used ninja garb again for the grey color and the red outline, but it doesn't look like a robe at all. So... maybe a tweaked, darker Jerkin/Blessed Robe/Oracle's Robe with a red outline and something that makes it look unique?

[Rolina]

...Okay... so in otherwords, you actually don't have a good idea of what you think they should look like.  Well, I'll come up with something then.

[Caledor]

Yes, sorry but i really didn't think about it that much for the 2 items.

[VardenSalad]

RIP new icons?

[Caledor]

RIP new icons?

The opposite, they are coming. Believe in Rolina! :P
As soon as I have them, 1.26 will be released with proper brand new icons where needed.

[Rolina]

Like I said in the chat, I was busy last week.  You should expect them within a few days.  I'd have been done sooner, but... well, you know.  Real life stuff comes first.

[Caledor]

Like i said, take your time. There's no hurry. ;)

[Rolina]

Quick question - what strength are the robe and staff in comparison to other gear?  Should help me figure out how much detail to put into them, and which items to use as a base.
