Other leftovers

Every staff has assigned hit and weight stats. However, they are not used by the game at all. It is possible that staves could originally miss like in Thracia 776. Status staves can still miss, but they use all use a hit of 30 rather than the staves' assigned hit rates. Staves also had weight in Thracia 776, which was used for stealing.

Character portraits


This section has been marked as a stub. Please help improve the page by adding information.


There are several unused recolors of used portraits. There are several recolors of the various generic villager portraits, two unused recolors of Oates/Peres, two unused recolors of Randy/Henning, two unused recolors of Monke/Thoril, one unused recolor of Orlo/Windham, three unused recolors of the generic soldier portrait (of which three versions are used), two unused recolors of Morgan, two unused recolors of Raith/Tick, and two unused recolors of Wagner/Nord.

Portrait dummy fe06.png A placeholder portrait. There is no associated small portrait.
Portrait merlinus shopkeeper size fe06.png A smaller version of Merlinus's portrait, which is the same size as the portraits of the shopkeepers. There is no associated small portrait.

Item sprites

There are several item sprites left over from Thracia 776 located at the end of the item sprite index. The staves have been modified to take up only 14 by 14 pixels within the sprite instead of the full 16 by 16 pixels.

Characters

William

There is an unused boss character named ウィリアム William located at index number 54, between Nord and Flaer. His help text is blank. He has Roberts' portrait.

Classes

There are unused female versions of the Mercenary, Cavalier, and Paladin. The Cavalier and Paladin's map sprites are unfinished and have an improper palette, with the standing-still and cursor-hovering map animations being those of the Fighter. Of the moving animations, which are complete (aside from the palette), they are edits of earlier versions of the male equivalents, but with a ponytail instead of a helmet. While the next two GBA games would introduce female Paladins and Cavaliers, they would simply use the same map animations as the male ones.

There are separate Fire Dragon and Divine Dragon classes. Their moving map animations are seen when a Manakete attacks with battle animations turned off, but their stats are unused, and their non-moving map animations are unused and unfinished, featuring only the head.

Miscellaneous

Character battle sprite palettes

Six of the seven bosses who use base classes (namely Damas, Debias, Dory, Erik, Ruud, and Slater; Wagner has no palette set) erroneously have their battle sprite palettes set to be used when they are in an advanced class. This results in them using the generic enemy palette. Note that Debias and Slater's palettes are identical.

Character Palette
Damas Bs fe06 enemy damas fighter axe.png
Debias Bs fe06 enemy slater knight lance.png
Dory Bs fe06 enemy dory brigand axe.png
Erik Bs fe06 enemy erik cavalier sword.png
Ruud Bs fe06 enemy ruud knight lance.png
Slater Bs fe06 enemy slater knight lance.png
