Talk:Arcana

The images of text should probably be converted to just text via dumping from the game, possibly organized into columns if they're too long (like the item list). That'd allow for emphasis of unused items, too, and other formatting.

Though a better idea in general would be to go into these items in-depth if they have anything unique between them. --Xkeeper 21:23, 20 May 2010 (EDT)
 * If someone knows how to hack them into your inventory to see if they do anything, that would be great. Unfortunately, there may not be much to see because Arcana's items don't get pictures, only text, but at least we'd know what they do (if anything). I tried finding codes to alter inventory items for Arcana, but I couldn't find any. =( --Flying Omelette 07:59, 21 May 2010 (EDT)
 * I found codes for the items and weapons at GSHI, but I also found something else in the ROM: Unused character class descriptions. These were probably meant to be displayed on your character's Ability screen, but it's not hard to see why they were dropped - Teefa's class is listed as "Betrayer". Methinks having a character called a "Betrayer" in your party would make one a little suspicious of her, no? --Flying Omelette 07:49, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
 * I removed the notepad images because I don't really think they're necessary and they were making the page look ugly. I still don't know if the Maiden's Tears and Moon Oil actually work because I'd have to start playing the game and keep going until somebody gets paralyzed or petrified to test them, and quite frankly, I don't feel like doing that right now. I didn't test every single ring, but I got up to the Ring of Valor in the list and after not being able to see any differences to anything at all, I felt it safe to conclude that all of them are ineffective. There are also a few more functional weapons and armor that were removed that I'll get to eventually... --Flying Omelette 09:27, 23 May 2010 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure any enemies can actually petrify party members. The only petrification spell I'm seeing looking through FAQs is Dao's Petrify All and that only works on enemies. Is it even possible for zie to cast it when confused? As-is Rook's unpetrify spell is only used for one story event. --Abaxa 18:27, 8 October 2010 (EDT)
 * Well, that would certainly explain why the Maiden's Tears weren't included in the final game. I've beaten this game several times, but it's been so many years and it's hard for me to remember every detail of every RPG I've ever finished, but can you even get paralyzed? I recall getting put to Sleep sometimes, but I don't remember paralysis. If not, that's probably why the Moon Oil was left out, too. --[[File:Fo-sig.gif]]Flying Omelette 21:28, 8 October 2010 (EDT)
