Beat Shining Force Challenge Mod!

...With savestates, admittedly, because I was tired of having to repeat the first half of the Darksol battle (during which I had a 100% guarantee of keeping all Force members alive, since the enemies were spread out) and... then went a bit crazy with savestates during the second half, because I did a bad job of planning out how to deal with the clusterfuck of max-powered enemies. >_> I wasn't scumming for criticals, double-hits, or item effects, though - just for attempting different tactics. I'm sorry. I played every battle before this completely legitimately.

Also, I savestated after each head of Dark Dragon, because each one was... quite the challenge to take out. (Also, because I wanted to reload if I screwed up and had a character wander into spell range when I was walking past the middle head.) It didn't help that I had forgotten half of my maximum-power healing items on random unused units 'for storage'. -_- Nevertheless, I managed to take out Dark Dragon mostly legitimately, albeit by piling all my healing items onto the main character so that I wouldn't be taken out by a WTFOMGHAX blow at the wrong time. And how did I know I needed to do this to avoid being taken out by a WTFOMGHAX blow at the wrong time? Uh... I TOLD you I savestated after Head #2, right? >_>

Anyway, that was an absolutely wonderful mod, it probably deserved better treatment than I gave it at the end, and I very much enjoyed it! :D Now, back to work, and I should really think about that Pokemon Yellow Nuzlocke I said I'd do...
