    yeah sorry I didn't really think it through. I kinda just skimmed the post without reading it closely. I was thinking editing instrument tracks after they were already in digital format. Actually I don't know what I was thinking tbh so you should probably just ignore the first reply.

    Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but Audacity is pretty much a must for most audio editing.

    Cecil is best Cleric->Sage. Beat you to it again Dragon Boner. Otherwise, Malliesia is really really good. She takes A LOT of babying as a Mage, but is worth it if you can afford to train her as a mage, if not then she is still good as a Cleric->Sage. Other decent candidates include Merric, Ellerean, and possibly even Yumina. Yeah you really don't wanna make Palla or Catria a mage. They're much better in pretty much any other class. Edit: As for chapter 4, you gotta use that shiny rescue.

    Apparently it's because I never destroyed any villages for EXP grinding Dammit, Boner, stop trying to motivate me to beat Luna+, it's not working. Ok, it actually is working.

    Yep, the replace value worked (it switched from 01000000 to 00000000) and cheats are enabled, but still no luck getting the code to work. Then does that mean it is an emulator issue? Perhaps I am entering/applying them incorrectly or something, I don't really know? This just keeps getting stranger. Could I perhaps just change that address manually every time I wanted to apply the code and just run in debug mode all the time? It wouldn't be much more of a hassle than applying a regular gecko code.

    I've got to use this one sometime. No strategy indeed! Well put. This saved me a lot of time that I would have spent defending Walhart. I don't know much about Alm, but it really warms my giant lobster heart when someone sees Walhart for what he really is: an intelligent, powerful, and principled leader who was not successful simply because he was not the game's main character.

    Thanks for responding SoC! If it's ok, I moved this conversation to PM so we aren't continually bumping this topic to the top.

    Double Post for RAM info, hopefully I dumped it correctly. I really appreciate the help. http://www.dropbox.com/s/qrxa1r2mwyw3l2h/ram.raw http://www.dropbox.com/s/dj4u1z7terxjig5/aram.raw

    Tharja -25 Nowi -10 Sully -8 Say'ri -7 Miriel -4 Flavia -2 Sumia +0 Panne +1 Tiki +3 Olivia +5 Maribelle +7 Anna +7 Cordelia +9 Lissa +9 Cherche +15 Lissa has gone up significantly and Say'ri has gone down. Cherche is running away with the favorite vote and Tharja is pretty uncontested for least favorite so far.
  12. darkkfan
    It should be pretty obvious who I voted for and why. If not, I direct you to the spoilered section in my sig. It pleases me immensely that Gangrel is winning Least Favorite!

    Haha this post confused me for a while before I remembered I was Walhart XD. And I knew Excellus was a sniveling worm but I kept him around because his arrogance amused me. Yeah, the whole God-slaying part I've never been a fan of it needs more Walhart, but the part of the plot that deals with natural rather than supernatural characters (i.e. like 90% of the plot) is quite realistic and rather cerebral compared to most games IMO, so I just focus on that. I agree with all of these (with the exception of C), and feel that E is a very strong point. I think Ike's ruggedness is pretty consistent with his character, but I agree that the DB was weak (both statwise and in character development) and that Sothe's levels scaled abnormally between FE9 and FE10. And I definitely think there was a lot of wasted potential WRT Volke and Bastian's backstories between the two games.

    Yo

    darkkfan replied to Shun's topic in Introductions

    You sound pretty cool. Welcome to the forest! There are plenty of people here who can help with FE12 (as well as other games).

    Hmm... I could switch to the PAL version i guess, but I'd rather not since I've already hacked the NTSC ISO. I can't find info on how to convert the working PAL code, so hopefully someone can post the offset so I can at least try that before doing the ram dump (if that offer still stands).Assuming the offer does stand (it's understandable if it doesn't), and i can't find an alternative in the next couple days, i'll post the ram dump here (i have an eleven hour flight coming up in a few days and getting these codes working so i can start my run would help immensely).
  16. darkkfan
    Fuck. How could I forget Miriel? I even voted for her as my favorite. Fixed, thanks for pointing that out.
  17. darkkfan
    Poll stats so far, sorted worst to best scores by (# of Most Favorite Votes-# of Least Favorite Votes): Tharja -20 (yikes) Nowi -7 Sully -6 Sayri -6 Miriel -2 Flavia -1 Panne +0 Tiki +1 Sumia +2 Maribelle +4 Lissa +4 Cordelia +6 Olivia +7 Anna +8 Cherche +10 It is no surprise that, for the most part, the most controversial characters (Nowi, Tharja) have the lowest ratings on this scale while the characters on the high end (with the exceptions of Olivia and Cordelia) are more neutral and generally harder to dislike. I mean, how can anyone really hate Anna or Cherche? Also, according to the results so far, WRT the more controversial characters, Olivia and Cordelia seem to be way more liked than Tharja and Nowi.
  18. darkkfan
    XD true that! Yep, having a sex symbol type character or two is fine, but when they start designing arbitrary characters' appearances for fanservice purposes it doesn't make much sense (like Olivia or the elephant in the room- Nowi). But again, I don't really feel too strongly about the whole fanservice thing, I just agree it makes for poorly done characters when characters designs and personalities aren't consistent. Oops, I meant Olivia not Cordelia. Fixed that, thanks.
  19. darkkfan
    I never said I liked using her as a cavalier >_> Cleric->Sage Cecil is the best! Agreed that Cherche is one of the least gimmicky females (other less gimmicky ones include Lucina and maybe Panne). Unfortunately, this means that some people find her a bit boring, but I personally don't. Tharja is definitely not as contradictory as Cordelia (Edit: Meant Olivia), however even I have to admit that Tharja is pretty fanservice-y and I personally hate the whole "OMG fanservice" thing.
  20. darkkfan
    Hmm... that's weird. I'm trying to think of some way to test this without trying every def and hit combination, but I haven't thought of anything so I'm afraid it'll be difficult to test conclusively.

    Another interesting idea (probably for a separate context) would be to implement a traditional RPG level up system (can't think of a better name of example for it), whereby each level nets you a certain number of stats and you can choose which stats to boost. For example, beating a chapter could give you three "points" or whatever and you could choose to spend 3 on strength, 1 on str and 2 on spd, etc. Point costs would increase as the stat gets higher so you couldn't just pour all your levels into speed and have an uber broken character. It'd probably be really hard to implement, but I'm just throwing it out there. It's something I thought would be interesting, it probably wouldn't be compatible with this idea but it could potentially add a new mechanic to the game.
  22. darkkfan
    No argument here. I couldn't have put it better myself. Nah, you're right, I just phrased it badly. I only saw the Gangrel recruitment once (I couldn't bring myself to do anything but slaughter him in my other playthrough), so your description was better. IIRC Chrom said something about not killing him out of mercy or "that's what sister would have done" kinda thing, but I still find it hard to believe that Chrom wouldn't be vindictive about it (goes back to what I said earlier in either this or another topic about lords supposedly motivated by "revenge" that don't display any sort of vindictiveness or appropriate anger).
  23. darkkfan
    Definitely. I hate Sully (probably third worst after Maribelle and Cordelia IMO). The swearing every sentence gets old quickly, I mean couldn't IS be more subtle? And Cecil's great, both as a unit and as a character (well, by FE12 new character standards anyway). Edit: Wow, looks like I was wrong about people liking Tharja (although I was right about people disliking her). Apparently her popularity in Japan does not translate to here (unfortunately it appears that Cordelia is just as popular here, however).
  24. darkkfan
    It sounds like a great idea! The only issue that seems like an actual problem is the unit balance. You would need to provide additional incentives to use units other than fliers and mounts as you have said. I think simply nerfing the growths of fliers and mounts (plus not having a mounted or flying Jeigan) should suffice, but if you would rather get more creative that's even better. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any FEs where fliers and mounts had obviously worse growths (well, maybe FE6 fliers), but that would be an interesting and effective way to encourage balanced parties, since if done correctly fliers would still have use while not being as broken.
  25. darkkfan
    Well, apparently (based on what 1% critted said) the AI isn't consistent with this sort of thing, so it places different weights on 5 hit depending on specific hit rate values, but I still think it would be reliable in this case. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference here since the chance of enough warriors spawning with Hawkeye and Counter for Laurent to die is negligible, so IMHO I would consider it about as reliable as it gets.
