I'm not sure if this is even possible currently, but I'll look into it just the same. At worst though it's quite possible to make adornment combos and release those as new adornments in and of themselves.

Man I'm just trying to be as patient as I can for the next monster mod release. Hard to believe it's been 6 months already since the last one but I'lm really getting more and more excited for it :)

It's being worked on. I've been doing little revisions the last few days to setup the new groundwork for it. Out of curiosity, is there something you're specifically hoping to see in the next release?

On that note, was the Mog Clock accessory Live Trigger bug ever fixed for the PC version? I read about that being a bug but don't know the full details. Is it something that could even be fixed in a mod?

I think you mean the Archylte Steppe bug, yeah. They didn't fix it.
The bug is that even if you close the gate, the zone doesn't reset. Thus you can't go back and redo the Live Trigger event, or even re-fight Faeryl. I haven't looked into it in awhile, but chances are it'll require some event modification to fix - and while that's entirely doable, it means I have to pinpoint exactly what's causing the issue, and unfortunately this game has hundreds of events scattered everywhere, so I have as of yet found exactly where things get bugged.

I do want to fix it though, and I'll look into again sometime soon for sure.

There ya go! I knew I liked you.

Thanks for the insight. "Not impractical but not being worked on" is actually a lot better than I expected to hear.

I mean it will happen, but priorities are elsewhere right now.
Plus it will take some research, and.. frankly for this series "some research" is easily an understatement. For as much as we've learned in the past year, there's still a lot to be learned. But yeah, I can guarantee this will happen, I know exactly the kind of hurdles we need to jump and none of it is impossible or impractical.

I read that unlike 13-2, the missing stuff in LR (Aerith Garb, basically) doesn't have the model files in-game this time. I'd imagine that makes modding it in much more difficult than it would otherwise be. Does it make it impossible or impractical, though? Or tentatively still doable, just something that would take a fair bit of time? Or is there just not enough info?

Basicaly - Thanks!

I'm glad you're in to it. I'm a little bummed to the general consensus on Kotaku and PCgamer in the comments sections of the articles... People are missing the point I guess. Oh well. I'm glad some folks understand why this is cool.

I'm also surprised that the rest of what's been done here over the past year was kind of glossed over entirely, or that the same fix was applied to FFV as well. But all and all I'm happy, to tell you the truth. We actually gained a decent influx of members since the headlines hit!

LMAO. SMDH. Jeez, Square/Matrix, if it weren't for the three immediate updates to FFVI in the first week of release, I would say they really don't care anymore.

I don't think they were ever really hiding that these were straight-up Android \ iOS ports, it's pretty blatant from the UI interface to the lazy launcher settings. This is true of other games from Square as well, the XIII series has a lot of little things in them that point to the PS3 and X360 still.

I have Monster Glow Begone v1.3.0. How did that happen when the latest is 1.2? Or was 1.3.0 rolled back?

There was a rollback at one point, yes. A fix was placed inside MGB to account for a bug in MMP, but that bug no longer exists in MMP.. so.. the fix became redundant, thus we rolled it back.

are the other 2 mods ok?

I updated the Ark just a bit ago, so it's good to go. And yeah the other two should still work as well as is.

1) Undoing bilinear filter (solved)
2) Dealing with menu/text (unsolved)
3) Allow for custom sprites at the new resolution (solved by FFVIExplore when it comes out)
4) Ability to patch translation if desired (unsolved)
5) Fix controls/UI (unsolved)
6) Fix sound (unsolved? FFVIExplore?)
7) Allow for higher res sprites if desired (totally unsolved)
8) Script editing (to restore some changed cutscenes/etc) (unsolved? do we even know yet where scripts are stored?)

You don't need to deal with the text scaling, because the game handles it acceptably as it is. Just change the font and don't attempt to do anything weird with the resolution and you're golden. Same for sprites, you don't need high resolution sprites, since Nyxo and I set the games to Point filtering. They'll always scale up nicely. Likewise even with FFVIExplorer, you're not going to just be able to insert a 2x\4x sprite sheet or whatever, try it in FFV now and you'll see that simply doesn't work - some changes would need to be made to the game for that to work at all.

As for translations.. eh, I just pity anyone who wants to do that. Nyxo is right, the strings for VI are baked into the executable, I can also confirm this applies to V as well - so I honestly just wouldn't bother with this one unless you're -really- set on translating them. Fixing\Revising the UI is definitely possible, as is modifying game mechanics\scripts.. but that's going to take time and research, and I myself at least do not have that time readily available right now. But you guys have access to all of V's assets right now, and soon Nyxo will provide VI's, so if you're all really determined... I'd say get crackin'!
