Changes in the International Version ~ Battle Edition
● The top icon is now clearly identified
Among the icons displayed in the CTB (Conditional Turn-Based) window, the one at the very top (indicating whose turn it is) now shows a triangle mark, making it clear which turn is currently active.
● Cursor position is remembered even after member switching
In the configuration screen, even if the cursor position is set to "remember," in the Normal version, the cursor position was reset when changing members. In the International version, this reset no longer occurs.
● Wakka’s "Slots" upgraded
Wakka's Overdrive ability "Slots (regardless of reel type)" now increases the damage dealt to enemies by up to 1.5 times based on the remaining time when successful additional input is performed, similar to Tidus' "Swordplay" and Auron's "Bushido."
● Name display field added to the "Mix" list
In the menu screen’s "Mix" list, previously nothing was displayed in the bottom right of the right column until "Eccentrick” was used. In the International version, a name display field (a horizontal box) appears from the start. This change allows confirmation from the beginning that there are a total of 64 types of "Mix."
● Effect of Chocobo Wings partially changed
When using Chocobo Wings to put the target in a Haste state, the effect of increasing the waiting time by 1.5 times has been changed to "half (rounded up)," improving its practicality.
● Powerful strategy using "Hastega" is now impossible
Previously, after putting multiple allies in a Reflect state, using "Hastega" on allies could significantly increase the enemies' waiting time. This phenomenon has been removed.
● Elemental compatibility changes immediately after the Magus Sisters' rotation
Seymour: Final Aeon now changes its elemental compatibility based on the orientation of the Magus Sisters behind it. In the Normal version, compatibility changed when "it’s your turn," but in the International version, it changes the moment the Magus Sisters' orientation changes, making it impossible to reflect the enemy's "Waterga" and deal damage.
● Minor visual effects changes
In the International version's Sphere Grid, the size of the light that spreads when a Growth Sphere is activated has been increased compared to the Normal version. Additionally, when opening a treasure chest during battle and obtaining an item, numerous lights now scatter from the chest.
● Mastering "Seed Cannon" has become more enforced
In the Normal version, during the tutorial battle in Kilika Forest, if Kimahri used "Jinx" instead of "Lancet," the battle could proceed without mastering "Seed Cannon." In the International version, "Jinx" is no longer available. However, if using the Sphere Grid in the International version and mastering abilities like "Cheer" before this battle, it is still possible to proceed without using "Lancet."
◆Mastering other "Special" commands allows finishing the battle without mastering "Seed Cannon."
Changes in the International Version ~ Scenario Edition
● Save Spheres have been increased
A Save Sphere has been added to the back of the Monster Arena, making the training grounds more accessible. There are no Save Spheres removed in the International version.
◆ A Save Sphere has been newly established in the back of the training grounds. It is convenient as saving and recovery can be done immediately.
● Failure in the Mt. Gagazet trials leads to...
In the first trial of Mt. Gagazet, if the thrown ball hits an obstacle, a battle will now occur as a penalty. The content of this battle is the same as a normal battle, and fleeing is also possible.
● Improved airship controls
In the navigation map displayed when speaking to Cid on the airship, the top and bottom ends of the destination list are now connected. Additionally, moving the cursor with the left stick is now possible, and holding the direction key or left stick up or down will continuously move the cursor.
● Removal of strange phenomena
Phenomena such as encountering enemies on the deck of the Salvage Ship and the appearance of Chocobos floating in the Calm Lands have been removed. Additionally, the phenomenon of Wantz standing in the air on the communication ship Winno has also ceased to occur.
