[Old sprite V13 (help!)]

I just went through that part the other day and didnt have to change, though i was proposed to. So it should be fine.

You can also manually replace all the graphics for your character with the old ones. Takes way less time but it's kinda tedious to do.

By the way, if you use the code, don't interact with the clothing boxes. Changing clothes disables it and i don't think you can get it back without reloading.

Nope, checked BIGJRA's playthrough. There is one blast powder in one of the pokeball "chests" in valor mountain, before the cliffside. Apparently you can also buy one (one only) by a npc in west gearen before boarding for GDC.

I think i remember getting blast power in valor mountain?

[I am not happy with how Bladestar was handled]

Honestly I didn't care all that much about the choice, just made it because that route seemed more unique and my friend ratted Flora. The whole GDC arc is my favorite part of the game and i really appreciated bladestar as a whole. But even then, the way the choice was handled seemed very odd. Letting you do that choice to  subsequently just say "oh btw your character doesn't actually care about it" is.... Eh, why did i get to choose anyway? Fighting team Xen in the open while supposedly being a rat was really odd too. Thinking back choosing to ally with Flora didn't add anything to the experience and just made the arc feel weaker. While also making the mute protagonist even more gratting. I can tolerate them but I have a strong dislike for mute protagonists. Now if the little input i have on their character i'm offered is overridden, what's the point of having one?
