Actually, it's Alain Albane, Carole Adenade, and Winona Bigford. They're Cress and Mint's ancestors from Edward Morrison's time, and also some random archer chick.

- More updates. Boredom keeps going, so I'm attempting to make Rambard playable. Added a few custom sprites for the menu. Issue is, Klarth's animation data got slightly screwed. I'm gonna have to see if I can figure out where it points to for animation data and bump Rambards to a new location. Sprites though, are surprisingly extremely easy to add. PS: Rambard I believe is an archer, from the looks of it in his official art and such anyway. So I thought he'd be neat as a temporary replacement for Chester once you're in the Ymir Forest. Though if I do continue to hack this, I'll probably have him be a more permanent PC. Edit: Found a way to move PC's data to another area. Did so, now all PC animations are stored in the F0 Bank. PC's 0-7. Each character has 200 bytes of data in total for their animations, which is more than enough. So right now, no animation conflicts and Rambard/Lia both have their own area to add new animations.

Can't really prove it in a screenshot, but I found the area to remove in TOP so you can move around during spells being casted. The only thing is that you can't have two spells go off at once (Which is really nice, but a waste of TP). So if I did let the availability of spells be casted and able to move around, lots of stuff would have to be tweaked to fit it. I think it's a bit more interesting actually, and it doesn't really bug up even the slightest except maybe on hardcore spam moves like Ray.

Neat! Not every day you see stuff like ToP get fiddled around with (on the SNES, that is) PS: Rambard I believe is an archer, from the looks of it in his official art and such anyway. So I thought he'd be neat as a temporary replacement for Chester once you're in the Ymir Forest. Though if I do continue to hack this, I'll probably have him be a more permanent PC.
<- You can see Brambald's battle sprite in my avatar pic (along with some other early stuff, such as the game's innitial title). He used to be a playable character in the game's early stages, but was probably phased out once Chester took a more dominant role in the store ... or maybe axed to avoid two archers ... save space ... or something ... I actually wouldn't be surprised if he was a bit of an allround character in the party ... ("Zomg! MAGICAL ELF!") - think the only set of public shots of him in action as an actual party member can be found in this old leaflet. Several magazines had screenshots from the same set in some early previews of the game, so I guess there might've been some sort of demo/preview video (on VHS, likely) handed out to the media. Would love to find that footage. If you happen to stumble upon various leftover data for stuff like that, please show and tell!

That's actually interesting with that leaflet. I remember seeing your avatar awhile ago and I had the idea of adding him in years ago but had no proper knowledge.
The interesting part I noticed in general was that he actually has a selectable tactics list. Lia didn't at all if you allow her to be usable. Rambard's ends up being the "Use many spells" and etc list like Arche. Coincidentally, his spell list pointer loads exactly the same bit as Arche's. The pointer itself wasn't removed or anything, Lia's was of course, so was Chester's, but Rambards was there. So he was probably meant to be a straight up mage like her except on the ground.
Then for battle sprites, Rambard and Lia load up Klarth's sprites. Then following after are the intro sprites with Winona and all of them.
Also, another fun bit of info. Apparently there's 8 portraits being loaded for pointers yet there's only 7 characters. Though the 8th portrait is default to load Cless's. Just thought I'd let that be stated too. Kind of interesting what can be found.

Script's inserted, but needs to be formatted and I think I'll be expanding a few of the text areas. Got some other misc things to do and bunch of sprites/graphics that need to be hacked.

- Eh. Was trying to organize the menu to look like the PSX version. It's okay, really hard to fit with the limited room. I was aiming maybe to make the screen scroll down ala "Custom" menu to view the equipment. But this might do for now until I can find a better way of organization.

Well the literal translation is Michael Chan. I changed it to Mikey in the hopes that people would think of him Jackie's brother/cousin that he never had.

Implemented the third VWF in a row: This one was using 16x16 4bpp blocks. I'm really starting to hate this game's code with a passion.
