|
|
In the US version of FF II for SNES, on the moon inside of the Crystal castle where you meet Fusoya, there is an HP/MP/Status recovery thingies on the left an the right just at the entrance. When i go to the left one (if i remember correctly) just one block before the healing block and press A, i go into a battle with a RedGiant?!?
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS?
I hope you pros can explain this to me...
EDIT: Here is a Zsnes savestate near the place in question: http://www.zophar.net/zsnes/archive/ff2-e.zip (pick the 6th save) |

Oh yeah, I remember finding that too. I don't think it has any purpose, though you can use it to your advantage as a consistent way of fighting RedGiants if you're trying to get the Runeaxe. |

Cocidnetally (mispelled, I know), I'm in that place right now... I can make a video of it!
EDIT: Okay... I didn't make an .AVI file because those are too big, so here: http://www.freewebs.com/flarenuke/FinalFantasyII.smv . Yes, It seems to be like a dummied treasure chest that was not completely taken out... |

Apparently there are a bunch of spots in the game where if you hit A you get a hidden treasure, or a predetermined battle. I have no idea how many exist, since to find out you'd have to hit A on every single spot in the game. Ugh.

That is cool as hell. Am I correct in assuming these are not present in the GBA remake? |

Well I just checked now and the one in the Crystal Palace isn't there, so I'm going to guess that they're not in the GBA version. |

Can someone try and see if these are in the original FFIV ? |

I'm going to say "yes" because the screenshots from the previously linked webpage shows an english hack of FFIV. |

Finally got FF4A, and playing it.
One thing I noticed thus far is that the hidden path along the bottom of Antlion's Den B2 isn't there.
And I've heard that a hidden treasure chest (which I never even knew about) in the blacksmith's house was deleted/omitted. |

The porno mag was dumbed down to simply "Magazine" too. =[ |
