@chewybaws There are many things you can do to manipulate the random number generator to gain the desired affect. Such as getting a rosetta stone from the card player in the galbadian prison every single time :P That one is much more complicated though and takes a while to set up :/. I'm glad that you looked into more and I really do think you should make more videos about this and final fantasy in general ;P
@ZodiacDragonRS i found the thread on GameFAQs entitled "Card Rule Spreading/Abolishing Mechanics and other RNG goodness", and yes it does completely reset the RNG when you hard reset which should make your method well proof. Thanks for posting on my video, would never have looked into this otherwise. This might get me playing again to test this out. Might even have to do another video if I can wrap my head around it! Cheers
@chewybaws From my experience in playthroughs sometimes from a save point to somewhere else you'll get so many random battles. And another playthrough you will get a different amount. I'm just thinking maybe this works on your save and if you done something to make the random generator move on (even with hard resets) it might work differently. If it does work it'll be interesting if it works on the PC version as well.
@ZodiacDragonRS It is intruiging. It depends whether when you hard reset if it resets the random generator completely, or whether it puts it to where it is on the save file. If you still have the save file before you abolished either, I would try going out of town, fighting a random battle or something to make the random generator move on, then go back to the hotel and save, and see if it still works. I don't have the game setup at the moment
@chewybaws Well considering I followed what I was told to abolish random and elemental and everything worked on the very first try.. I'd say this is a surefire way to abolish these two rules from Dollet. The way you abolish elemental is by saving at the pub, hard reset, then going to the private room with the bar owner and examining the magazine closest to the exit exactly twice. Press square on the bar owner and select yes then quit. The elemental rule is instantly abolished. Try it out.
@ZodiacDragonRS How do you know if it worked first time? Often in the game if you do something exactly the same from a save point, you will get the same results (and yes this can change depending whether it's a soft or hard reset). But it doesn't make it a sure fire way to abolish rules. Chances are if it didn't work first time, and you followed all your instructions you'd fail everytime.
@RP88888 doesn't matter what region you choose to commit to memory, it could be timber again if you wanted. but the region you commit to memory must have a rule that the target region doesn't have, otherwise you won't be asked to mix rules.
@chewybaws Actually this is a way to manipulate the random number generator. There's another method you can use to abolish elemental and I abolished that on my first try as well.. It's not random if you do it this way xD
@ZodiacDragonRS It's random. You don't get a chance of abolishing rules unless you select Yes to a game, so the times you selected No to the game were unnecessary. Sometimes it happens first time, other times it takes forever. You just got lucky.
