Oh man, I hope Nightcrawler and the team are able to restore everything.

They really helped me out a bunch when I first made an account here  ^_^"

Anyhow, I hope everything can be rebuilt better and strong this time !

@Gi Nattak

Thanks for keeping the patch updated here !!

Would love to have a "V1.7" release thread  ^_^"

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2207/ 

Would this be the final update...or are you planning to continue working on this hack ?

I believe I only have version "RotDS v1.4" and looking forward to what 1.4.8 brings !

@Messianic 

Ah, it appears that you updated this hack a few months ago...would you be able to provide the updated information here as well ?

http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/2518/ 

Like a more detailed "Description" and "Readme" file ?

Also, looking forward to your custom enemy programs !

Awesome, I am looking forward to starting over  ^_^" 

It appears I missed some key hidden items at the start of the game. 

Also, I hope the Moogle battle has been balanced a bit more...to me, the level of difficulty in that battle is a bit much for a early boss battle.

* EDIT * 

Really enjoying the rebalancing of the start of the game enemies and bosses. 

Though I am now stuck on the Cloud-Tiffa route...there is a random enemy group pincer attack. 

two crabs and a spider that is halting my progress. 

the crabs, first turn, use a physical attack that does 100% stop on that character...while the spider keeps using a physical attack that does 100% poison on that character. 

since you only have 2 characters in the party...both party members have STOP...so they can not attack/heal/run...the enemies keep attacking until you get a game over screen.

Whew, just checked out this 1.4.1 update and I really enjoyed it extended intro  ^_^" 

But I must say the Cloud and Moogle cave battle was very brutal !! 

Having a boss that can heal 3 times, call for 3 more back-up enemies, and counter every hit...I died about 11 times before resorting to save states to get past that mess. 

But yeah, the difficulty has really been ramped up and I am currently learning how "Limit" works in this game.

Hmm...looks like you updated this hack on another site ?

@Messianic 

Fair enough, and I have checked the link you submitted :

https://forum.starmen.net/forum/Community/PKHack/Earthbound-Deluxe/page/1/

After reading some of the other comments...I do worry about the difficult spike after the first boss. 

* all of the status ailments, making you unable to do anything but lose * 

Do I need to grind to level 20 to survive past the 2nd town ? 

Also, can you give any tips for someone new to Earthbound ?

@Lilfut   

Yes, this hack is a lot of fun  ^_^" 

Hmm...back in 2013, I was unable to get a translation team together. 

But that was then, so welcome aboard ! 

The first step is to see what kind of coding we would need to do to translate this game into English.

Okay, just got Buzz Buzz...and that battle was a bit different. 

* I did not know NPCs could carry items * 

Also, could you provide a full change log for this game ?

I could not find the readme file on your submitted page.

Whew, that is a lot of changes !!

Going to check out this EBP (Earthbound Patcher) thing an try and get this thing working.

Now did I read right in seeing that there is an extra dungeon added in the post game ?

Also, thanks again for sharing here at romhacking.net !!

Ha, that is true...but I am still surprised the translation team did not fill out a new report.

* guess I could try and contact them *

Anyhow, I have really been enjoying the translation/game !!

Though there sure are a lot of enemies to encounter  ^_^"

Wow, just saw this on the front page...and I really thought it was a mistake until I tried out the patch  ^_^" 

* anyhow, congrats *

I am really feeling the battle system...it is more or less who can 1 shot the other first.

You really have to keep finding/buy better armor to survive more than one turn. 

Outside of healing magic...I have not come across any powerful spells, but that is okay...these axes are the answer for every enemy I have run across !

Umm...wait...am I reading this right ?

Romancing SaGa for the SNES is translated in English ?

@Eternal248

whew, after a labor day weekend of leveling up one level...trying the battle...losing...leveling up one level...trying the battle...losing...leveling up one level...well you get the picture.

here is the team I was able to beat the level with :

Main - Orator lv.15
White Magicks
Parry
Equip Shields
Accure JP

Thief lv.15
Items
Parry
Concentrate
Jump +1

Geomancer lv.19
Martial Arts
Counter
Equip Heavy Armor
Accure EXP

Summoner lv.17
Black Magicks
Counter Tackle
Equip Shields
Levitate


I just really needed better skills to compete with their superior equipment.

Hmm...I did not notice any mantles or poles in the stores, before the battle.

Also, does low faith make magic do less damage on you ? 

Thanks again for your help and is the game making all of the enemies the same or 1~2 levels higher than my highest level character ? 

I have cleared the next two stages with no problems...now that the shops are selling better items  ^_^"

@Eternal248

yeah, the monks have a "air punch" attack that hits hard (42~46 damage) from far away.

* they also have the Item Hi-Potion and Parry/Defend skill *

the archer starts by climbing to the top of the building and snipes with the longbow for damage or breaking armor.

the knights have the Item Hi-Potion, Parry, and Defend skills...but also shields that block spells.

my level 2 ice spells only do about 20~22 damage, if not blocked.

* maybe because they have low faith ? *

I upgraded to a mystic and used umbra to blind them...but they still have 100% accuracy on their skill attacks.

currently have everyone grinded up to level 10 and they are still walking up to me and killing me off. 

thanks for the heads up about the enemy generation setup...I have been replay this battle about 14 times at level 10 and currently waiting for a good generation to make the battle winnable.

I don't like over-leveling, but I may need to grind to level 20 or 30 to get past this chapter 1 battle.

@Eternal248

oh wow...so the game generates all of the story enemies when I start a new game ?

or is it more what ever team/jobs you are currently using ?

yeah, I seem to be pulling unlucky straws here  ^_^"

hmm...so the enemy accessories are random as well ?

those rubber boots shut down all of my offense...i'll take your tip and grind for some ice spells.

* here is hoping the next set of enemies don't absorb ice magic *

oh and the monks are the ones who are hitting for a consistent 60 damage.

I was really surprised when I saw the damage !!

thought it was a critical or something, but that is how much they are hitting my fully armored knight for. 

it is still surprising that I have to grind this much in chapter one...I am sure the game will get better, but this sure is a high learning curve.

@Eternal248

ha, I had planned to giving up on this hack...but your reply encouraged me to give it another try. 

quick version :

after 4 tries I was able to clear that stage. 

long version :

upgrading to a knight helped out a lot.

I stiil had problems with the knight and the black mages.

the knight kept using hi potions on it's self...took forever to kill.

took a while to realize how the black mages were healing with bolt spells...they have rubber shoes.

they would cast bolt on themselves then run at the party to heal themselves and kill off any party members next to them. 

I ended up losing one chemist and one archer that fight...main character was on "zero" during my final turn. 

my party made it to level 4~5 that fight...upgraded my thunder and poison spells and tried the next battle.

to my surprise...all of the enemies in the next stage have equipment that make them immune to all poison and thunder spells...not to mention they are level 7~8 and do 60 damage per hit.

* only my knight can take a hit from them...plus they can use potions to heal *

also, thanks again for the info on 'Dash' and 'Throw Stone'...those were the skills I was using.

hmm, I am at a loss of how to clear the next stage...how far would I have to grind up to be able to survive an attack from these enemies.

* very sad I can not use and thunder or poison spells *
