Never heard of this game but those rips look stellar and the art style is _very_ nice I gotta say

[Barack Obama]

Glad you like it, this was Square-Enix' last game on the SNES and it really shows. Graphics and mapping are top notch.

Update on the castle structures, added the Danelf Coliseum and all layers:

Again, everything is WIP and cut off at bottom & top.
I will put them on a 16x16 pixels grid within my graphics program and complete them with existing tiles from the map.

I'm done with Riza's & Sion's scenario and made quicksaves all over the place. Next is Surlent and oh boy, this game is tough as nails. Maybe there is an easier way to beat the final bosses, but I didn't use guides except when I have no idea where to go.

I used these codes in addition to the ones from the start post:

Gain 1 Level per Battle
CB31-E7AC
DF35-EDDC
DD35-ED0C

Infinite Money (changes back after deactiving the code)

Also these mantras:

Spoiler

Buffs:
PECOASUNA - spirit
PECOAPOWERUP - Strength
PECOAFASTNA - speed
COABARRIERNA - Magic Defense
PECOAGAIA - Defense

Debuffs:
KIPECOAVIRUS - spirit
PECOAGODWEAK - strength
PECOAGODZERO - Magic Defense
PECOAGODSOFT - Defense
PECOAGODSLOW - speed

Elemental mantras: / Edit: all targets
Fire - PECOABITNA
Water - PECOAMINUNA
Lightning - PECOAUSNA
Wind - PECOAJINNA
Light - PECOAHILINA
Dark - PECOAMUNYNA
Void - PECOAPIPERNA
Earth - PECOARATNA

Misc.
CRITICAL - gives you perfect accuracy and 100% critical hits
PHOENIX - Auto-Revive
INFINITY - This makes one character -COMPLETELY- invinicible for one turn (maybe 2 or 3 if your spirit is boosted incredibly high)
COAREFLECTNA - Casts an anti-magic barrier on all allies. This doesn't really -reduce- the amount of damage despite what the description says, but actually gives all your characters a high chance of dodging magical attacks entirely.
PEBEFAMEGAMI - Best healing spell for 1 mp

These elemental mantras are 1MP too, not sure if they're stronger than the ones above. I will test them in Surlent's scenario: / Edit: One target
(Fire) PEFAVUBULBIT
(Water) PECOABULSKI
(Bolt) PETEKAAGNUUS
(Wind) PEGNULUCKAAF
(Light) PEXBULGNUHUS
(Dark) BULWARGNUEUS
(Void) PECOAFAKAAON
(Earth) PECOATEMEN
(Word) PEBEGNUKAAUF

Played through the entire game. Characters & plot are flat as pancakes, but background story, graphics and music are amazing.
I used patch 2.1 by Aeon Genesis, this one needs an emulator who actually supports the font properly and ZSNES is clearly not doing that (readable, but it looks kinda ugly). bsnes-rawpalettes by RTB plays it just fine (although it doubles internal resolution whenever the font is shown, but you will only notice that on screencaps).

Anyway, Thor Volcano and Vairocana Ruins are done and submitted.

Edit: And the first interior map is done too, Verdandi Temple (Mitra's Room). One of the best maps in the game, imo. Ryan914 already ripped it, but I wanted to have it with all its layers.

Edit 2: Submitted Eremias' Mansion.

Edit 3: Submitted Eremias' Mansion (Invaded)

Edit 4: Submitted Tower of the Valiant / Coliseum

[Barack Obama]

Most of the castle structures are now done.

- Sodom Castle & Danan Temple
- Sacred Gate
- Cryunne Castle

Sacred Forest (Aqua's Place), Tower of the Valiant (Tower Top) & Garal Clock Tower are the last ones.

Edit: All done... is what I would say now, but I just remembered the Lago Stone Research Lab in Avdol.

[Barack Obama]

Lago Stone Research Lab (WIP)


Also finished Delphi Mountain and the Lago Stone Lab Top.

[Barack Obama]

This is it, all castle structures are finally done. I will continue with the ruin structures, which are:

- Meifa Statue
- Meifa Statue (Departed)
- Catulia Ruins
- Spirit Temple
- Tuhla Ruins
- Tower of the Giants
- Tower of the Giants Top

And maybe a few more, I don't remember all of them.

Edit: Done and done.

[Barack Obama]

WIP, Meifa Statue (Departed) & Spirit Temple

Spoiler

[Barack Obama]

Meifa Statue (Shore) and Mantra Peak are also done.

Next are Roma, Len and the Hidden Village, since they all share the same tileset.
Roma and Len also have a 2nd variant due to being damaged after the fall of the Sky Islands.

Okay, the forests will be my last set of exterior maps. After that, I will tackle the interiors of castles and ruins.

Not sure what to do with the transparency effect for the leaf canopy, the map is cut off and I can't use other tiles to make up for it. Maybe I just rip the layers and nothing else? Or provide the cut off ingame map too? I really don't know.

Edit: Nah, I have to think about that a bit more. For now, I'll do interiors and leave the forests out.

- Vairocana Ruins
- Dragon God Ruins
- Desert Ruins
- Tower of the Giants
- Cult Hideout
- Statue of Meifa
- Tuhla Ruins
- Fahl Ruins
- Graham's Tomb
- Temple of Spirit
- Catulia Ruins
- Frey Ruins
- Vilshan Ruins
- Rulne Ruins

[Barack Obama]

Desert Ruins, WIP

Spoiler

Trying to find an approach to these maps.

I need to check the stairs in vSNES, not sure if they actually have these holes and just use the bg colour for this.
For the rest: Maybe it's better to assemble the layers first on a pink background before I erase the bg colour with "paste transparent selection".
