Persona Section Export

[misery_hates_company]

Okay, since I'm borderline insane, I've just spent a good while importing a lot of the free Personae over to the new page. I am... not anywhere near done yet, but I've gotten about halfway through the alphabet. That said, the changes in the form has resulted in some necessary alterations in some of the personae contributed. I've fixed some of my own (which the mods may want to look at to make sure they're all right), but there's a few in particular I want to call attention to:

- Arthur: I had to change one of his passives because it was too high a level for him. I... probably should've asked first. orz. Groove, could you look at it and see if it's okay? Sorry about that. I was kind of trying to hit as many as I could before it occurred to me that was a bitch move.

- Lord English: Has got a few moves that are either too low a level or don't exist anymore. Could whoever submitted him take another look at him and revamp him to the new form? Thanks.

- Mesia: That's one of mine, actually. I'm just giving a heads up that I'm pulling her until I can give her a thorough revamp to fit with the current format, since her first four abilities don't even exist for support personae anymore. Which is okay, because I don't think most folks have played Crystalis anyway. *cough*

- Nikola Tesla: This is one of the mod personae. I mention him to bring attention to a really nasty bug in the Level 3 form: You cannot put any entries into the second combat ability in the support persona section owing to a bug in coding. Just thought I'd give a heads up. You saw nothing.

I'll probably try to tackle more of this later. If anybody doesn't mind letting me muck with their contribution in case of translation error, please let me know! Note that I'm not touching the soul personae with a ten foot pole, so those are safe at least (unless you WANT me to put them in).

Oh, and the Persona form now has enough Mars Nuclear bombs to blow up the galaxy, so I highly advise nobody to say the ZBD phrase anytime soon. Ahem.

Lord English was one of mine. I'll take a look and re-submit him myself, no worries.

NO THIS IS GREAT. I've wanted to run all the ones I came up with through the new generator but I'm... lazy... :U So I'm OK with the change!

The end day, back in 1997, 2 days before my birthday.

Oh Crystalis how I miss you...

You are awesome and should feel awesome and I'll try to help out.

Speaking of helping out, here's a list I'm going to keep running while I work on things from the other end.

General Ailment Resistance Issues: Since a bunch of ailment resistances were rolled up into groups, I am just going to replace those with whatever group resistance they belong to, e.g. Resist Fear -> Deep Breath. I figured this was intentional when Pix added in all those old-school ailment types.

Yamata-no-Orochi: Heat Riser is no longer available at level 2 normally. Possible suitable replacements for it would be Debilitate, Sabotage, any of the -kaja line, or maybe Power Charge. Snarky, want to take a look?

Xelpud: Neither resist physical nor void physical seem to exist as passive skills for level 2 users. Silver Wall/Blockade and Tetrakarn seem to be the closest substitutes if we want to replace them with active buffs instead. Awe?

Higher Level Forms don't have Lower Level Skills: The plain single-target small attacks, e.g. Bash, don't exist on the Level 2 form. This is consistent as things get higher in level (level 3 doesn't have the plain single-target medium attacks, etc.), so I'm going to assume it was intentional and upgrade damage as the form seems to indicated. Bash to Mighty Swing on Willy, for example.

Willy: Actually that's an issue with a couple of Willy's skills, so I'm going to leave him for now.
