7TH SAGA REDUX BY NATI README 7/18/2013 This readme is a description of the changes from the original 7th Saga to 7th Saga Redux. For more information about the original, consult my Game Mechanics Guide on Gamefaqs.com. You will need a ROM with a header to use this IPS (I think). ============================================================ SUMMARY OF CHANGES 1. Weapons and armor are more powerful. 2. Because Lux and Wilme don't benefit much from equipment, they get +1 additional Power and Guard per level-up. 3. Spells are learned sooner at levels > 10. 4. Attack spells are more powerful; armor has higher magic resistance to compensate. 5. MP cost has been lowered for some high-cost spells. 6. Two new spells have been introduced... a. FLEE: escape from battle with 100% success (except from bosses, apprentices, and Class 1 monsters) b. HOLY: single-target attack spell of a new element 7. Three spells have been taken away from apprentices... a. ELIXIR: absurdly game-breaking; replaced by HOLY b. DEFNSE2: made Lejes a joke as an opponent; replaced by FLEE (monsters can still cast DEFNSE2, though) c. LASER 3: LASER 2 is now as powerful as LASER 3 was; the animation for LASER 3 is now used for HOLY 8. More monsters have weaknesses to specific elements. 9. Monsters' Magic and Speed stats have been slightly decreased near the end of the game. 10. Monsters near the end of the game give double gold and experience. 11. New unique equipment, one for each apprentice, is available as random drops from the D.Night in the last dungeon; some equipment was eliminated to make these. 12. Seeds can be purchased in one of the last shops, and B Protect can be purchased from the last shop (finally!). Bottom Line: The game can be completed at a lower level with less grinding, but still sufficient challenge. ============================================================ APPRENTICE STATS AND SPELL
