PS1 Beyond the Beyond (Reunion) PSX ISO

[RageBurner]

A brilliant hack that lowers the absolutely mind-boggling encounter rate of this early PS1 RPG to levels that actually allow the game to be properly enjoyed, rather than simply suffered through. Additionally, Percy won't constantly leave the party, and gold acquisition rate has been increased.

Long after completing the puzzle. Presumably, the event that causes Percy to leave the team also affects the pastor unblocking the exit. Since the pastor never clears the path, the party can never return to area near Marion (which is required to clear the Bandore army off Zalagoon Bridge).

If you have the saved data from the last event, I can return to Marion. That would be very helpful. Please provide the saved data."

Do you mean you’re stuck in the church when you first meet the pastor, and are you stuck before completing the picture puzzle or after?

I haven't actually started it yet because I was unsure if this bug was a constant in all versions so I wanted to make sure first. The 1.0 request was me just wanting the reduced encounter rate but everything else remaining vanilla if that existed.

 

[Shadow501]

Looking for a version that changes mostly just the encounter rate (1.0 version of this patch) with the church bug fixed. Does that exist?

Is this good? I'm not too familiar with Ps1 emulator files.

Perfect

This is after fighting Glade when the King of Zalagoon wonders how to fight back Bandore troops and you need to go to Marion, through the church. Normally, the pastor would have been kidnapped for being an ally to us, but now he's still there and blocking the way.

I'll see if an updated bugfixed version of this exists.

Hi, I've been playing this hack and I don't know if anyone else has had this problem but the pastor in front of the tiles puzzle is blocking the way even after beating Glade. I'm stuck and don't know what to do to progress, I'm guessing it's a bug.

I made a more OG cover art for it anyone can use...

Everyone crying over A.I and all I wanna know is has the XP been adjusted to compensate for the reduced battle count?

Right? Bunch of f'n little entitled cry babies

your name is a bit ironic

Version 1.4 upped Gold acquisition rates to 3x so money isn't that much of a problem anymore.

3x!? If that was the only change in v1.4 then I'm keeping 1.3 since 3x is a bit overkill.
edit: well they changed the armor of that one character to match the cover, but that's redundant imo

Maybe do your research by going to the source page if you have a question about what a romhack changes. It would make it so that you wouldn't have to ask around. From the source page:

Patch 1.2 – By Skiller Increased Double Experience

Double experience points are now enabled, allowing faster leveling for characters.

Are you going to buy a physical copy with this cover from somewhere? The hack could have a grey solid colour cover with just a logo on it, for all I care and I'd still be interested in it. You know why? Because I'm really interested in the game... I really want to try an improved version of one of the first PS1 RPGs created by one of my favourite developers. If I was the author of this hack, I'd have requested to be removed and I wouldn't want to share anything here again. It's free. Stop being Karens and grow the f up.

It's just an edit to the cover. most romhack covers are edited in ms paint. you're malding.

yes, paint. not AI

It's just an edit to the cover. most romhack covers are edited in ms paint. you're malding.

The difference is that even MSPaint edits have effort put into them, unlike AI covers.
(By the way, I appreciate Shadow501 listening to feedback and changing the cover on the RHDN page if that wasn't clear. I just like making it clear that genAI covers are a waste on a site like this and could be a potential cognitohazard to its credible rep if people ignore it too much).
