Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Series (Mobile/Steam)

Glad that float bug in IV finally got fixed after all this time. So annoying to keep getting my ass kicked by the floor because my float went away for no reason. Especially when there’s lots of doors. Looking at you Sylph cave.

I was actually surprised to see that in the list, because that is indeed also the normal behavior of SNES FFIV.

So, it's a bug? Who knew? Also, glad I don't have to deal with it next playthru heh.

Yeah, let’s say it’s a headcanon bug. The behavior was preserved through many versions so the game was probably being a bastard on purpose. But I’m pretty sure float’s the only status that disappears like that. All I know is if I leave the screen as a pig, I darn well come out the other side oinking.

Or me, who got pig’d by a bar floozy in Mysidia, didn’t know it, picked up Palom and Porom, got pig’d AGAIN by a different floozy (the same one?) turning Cecil back but the kids into pigs, leave town, have no idea that the floozy did anything at all, and do the entirety of Mt Ordeals thinking that the “apprentice mages” I was given were literally two pigs.

I think the logic must have been “float works by levitating you off the floor. If you move to a different floor, the spell has to be cast again, because this floor isn’t affected by the previous Float spell you cast.”

But in the end, I guess someone decided that it was just unnecessary busywork. Which, Yknow, kudos to that person.
