Dumb Theories

[Imoutgoodbye]

It was about year two here that I realized certain skills/spells could do interesting things at higher levels (or so I'd heard) and I developed the theory that maybe if I mastered invisibility I would get improved invisibility (attacking, being attacked wouldn't bring me out of the invisible state).  First spell I ever mastered.  Disappointed to say the least.

 

Had any theories that didn't work out?

[Diten]

Yes! When I first started.. I saved... then died.. To counter the death, I logged out..... needless to say I didn't respawn at my savepoint

[mya]

Yes, that minotaur Imm brake4min or Grnathor or something once said that if you mastered refresh you doubled the moves refreshed...

What a waste of time...

 

But never be afraid to test something dumb.

I was testing with magik something about Halfling new vuln, and we both learned something about DK Cleave.

[Erelei]

Oooo. Ideas. I like that improved invisibility idea

[Fool_Hardy]

Or my favorite mastering plague makes you immune to it. Mastering armor would increase protection. All were false.

I used to think restrings granted all the powers I could imagine had to do with that restring. I understand sometimes characters are gifted things that make sense, but I thought a beholder restring would lose all armor and become an eyeball with new commands, same for all simple restrings. Didn't understand qraces/classes at the time. Getting a restring was endgame awesome for me. Now it's just the beginning! c:

I used to think Anume played all the imms.

If mario jumps in the hole, he goes to a secret level.

I used to think if you pressed "A" at exactly the right moment, it improved your chance to capture the Pokemon.

[Dale]

It was Down + A, Balinor.

 

And I'm still sure that is true!

 

 

Any one ever tried to resurrect Aeries?

Any one ever tried to resurrect Aeries?

Yes. You can almost get there, however it was never implemented. We can all thank Management for rushing development of an unfinished yet amazing game.

Actually from what I read it was in the Japanese version but removed from the American one, however we got access to Emerald and Ruby weapon.

[Magick]

Non-Japanese versions got access to the Emerald and Ruby weapons, not just us in North America.  I don't recall why they were added, though, but I don't think it was because the Japanese version got Aeris revived.  Aeris cannot be revived, regardless of version, end of story.

Pulled this from the FF Wiki:
"Unfortunately, from a plot standpoint it does not even make sense for Aeris to be able to be revived. She remains dead in the sequels Advent Children, and Dirge of Cerberus. Furthermore, her death was planned since the early stages of the game when only Cloud and Barret, along with Aeris herself, were playable, indicating that her death was been ingrained in the game's plot for the majority of its development. So canonically, it is impossible for her to come back in the game and yet still be dead in the sequels. This has, of course, not stopped non-canon revival rumors from spreading every once-in-a-while."

 

While I cannot confirm this particular block of text, it makes sense as to the why you cannot and so, it's good enough for me.

I used to yell the oscar mayer weiner theme song over everquest zone chat to hurry along rare spawns and drops. Still think it works.

[Mmm Coffee]

Hmmm, Valek brings up a very interesting idea.  I think it would be cool if a character's proficiency in invisibility was greater than another char's detect invis proficiency...they couldn't see the invisible person.  Same with hide / detect hidden, camo/keen

 

But obviously this would just turn into more spam-training

[Mudder]

Improved invisibility is not unheard of in the MUD genre. However, in such a heavy PK game like FL where a great many classes rely so heavily on consumables. I'm afraid this would only harm inexperienced and newbie players.

 

If this spell were to exist, I would suggest it only for a very select few classes (like one) or perhaps an Imm gifted RP reward.

 

EDIT: Generally it functions as a spell that does not fade when in combat. AKA: Fighting an invisible opponent has same effect as fighting while blind.

I'm just making conversation.  I swear I wasn't trying to initiate anything other than fun.  :0

[Argo]

I thought every time shooting stars appeared in the sky it was the immortals...

 

like the matrix, somethings changed....

[Naruthiron]

I am the shooting star of the immortals. 

[Aulian]

I am the shooting star of the immortals. 

 

Or the impeding comet of doom.... Depending on where you're standing, right?

[Naruthiron]

You should stand outside my trajectory, then.

I never train hp/mana/move before 50, I'm afraid it will affect my level ups.

[Fool_Hardy]

I never train hp/mana/move before 50, I'm afraid it will affect my level ups.

I have heard this before. I have played multiple of the same race/class combos, and honestly I did not see but a 20 hp difference for waiting at the top end. That could be as you claim do to using trains early, but it could just as easily be caused by luck at the time of the level up. For me the jury is still out on this one.

[Erelei]

Only reason I will wait until 50 is to decide and divvy up my trains. If I'm playing a Mage class 9/10 times I'll put trains into HP as I get them and spare practices go into mana.
