Charm496 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I decided to play through reborn again and ran into an interesting situation. After beating Taka for the first time, you're supposed to jump down a ledge (only way out of the battle area) and encounter Heather. Knowing this, I decided to try and see if I could skip it. Because Taka's area has a bunch of grass I just fought random beedrill until my party passed out, which landed me back at the Jasper Ward center. I was now free to explore vine-less Jasper, move on to Beryl, anything I'd normally be able to do, with Heather still present in her preset event location. That said, has anyone else experienced this? If so, will this affect my game? Is this just going to result in an oddly-placed sprite (which will be hilarious by the time the 'find heather' quest hits), or does this fail to trigger some important event flag? Either way, I'll keep people updated on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rendolf Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 My guess is that it would either stop you from progressing or do nothing at all, depending on how the devs coded it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperial Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 It reminds me of my first run. When trapped in the nuzleaf cage in rhodochrine jungle, I refused to beg Fern, and didn't know Chatot would come and free me after a minute, so I used an escape rope and freed myself. And nothing wrong happened. In your case, the trigger to activate the next part of the story is most likely defeating Taka, to avoid multiplying switches, so it should do nothing. And in case it prevents you from going any further, you can just go back and activate the cutscene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm496 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Update: went through the Beryl ward up to right before the pulse battle, freed all the officers and headed back, and when I went back into the forest to check up on Heather she'd disappeared. I have no idea what exactly triggered Heather's disappearance, maybe the officer sidequest somehow affects one of her flags? Either way, I'll go fight Taka/ZEL and see if her dialogue is any different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm496 Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 No changes in lines, but it didn't make the dialogue weird because Heather doesn't actually talk to the player and the villains effectively introduce her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
