It would be pretty neat to have the actual animated sprites on the bottom screen. Maybe not animated, but at least one frame of it. That being said, I'm almost certain that the bottom screen battle portraits are the same as used in the compendium and cutscenes (and would also save on game size, the entire game is only like 1.6 gigs), so it would be kind of awkward to replace with just a LayeredFS mod I'd imagine.

Yeah true be alot in it and probably other issues along the way, you seem to know abit about modding if you every look into guest members and figure out how to stop them appearing in battles let me know, thanks.

Awesome. I'll give it a try on both Apocalypse and IV. In theory it should work on both since they are effectively the same game underneath.

The code is for SMTIV, not Apocalypse. This demon is exclusive to SMTIV.

For IV apocalypse I wonder if a cheat code can be made where it sets the partner health to 0 always, so they're always down and the partner gauge never goes up. The only sag I could forsee happening is that the game has a 3 turn "down timer" where afterwards your partner returns healed. Its possible that we could suppress this by the code always overwritting that offset, or making it triggerable via a button combo to just kill the partner and keep them down if they come back haha.

For regular IV maybe we could copy the value at the partner offset that is set at the start of the game before you face off Minotaur.

Thanks for the confirmation. I haven't played IV in forever, so I'll spin up some test saves people have put on the internet and test it out.

Interesting it's more for Smt iv, really Apocalypse doesn't bother me, I just want get rid of them in Smt IV.

If you get a save from the internet, you need one on the first playthrough. Also, check the compendiul to see if you have any fiend. If Chemtrail is on the compendium, the code will not work.

Unfortunately I'm away from home at the moment, but maybe there is save data uploaded online, sometimes they are files people upload at different stages of the game.

yeah i tried to take a look but it seems the only guy who uploaded his is a completionist. I might have to bug some of my friends for savedata if they have any still at cycle 1. Dang it I shouldn't have deleted my old IV saves way back lmao. I've always been an Apocalypse truther so that's the game I have most saves and muscle memory for.

Edit: maybe if im spiteful enough i might just figure out the flag in the save data for the cycle and location and frankenstein a save haha.

I checked this morning I had no save files backed up when I was trying to check aligment codes, so wasn't able to check them codes.

Same here. I deleted my cycle 1 saves, now im in cycle 3. Also, SMTIVA is my favorite, so like you, i have tons of saves from it. All the little things that i didn't like or find annoying from IV were fixed on IV:A. And the demon design from IV:A are waaay cooler.
