I think screwed up bigtime (spoilers)

Actually, Fish AND Spirit are optional silverflagon, I should know, I finished the game in a speedrun without them.

I however really don't know how to fix that throne sit bug.

[silverflagon]

If spirit is optional then you can't of gotten all the memories so really you can't of finished the full version only an abridged version which is like buying a cake and throwing the best part away Alpha

It's still possible to progress through to an ending sequence though. Not the best one, by any means, but you wouldn't argue that finding all the mystic treasures and zodiac stones in Ogre Battle is required to win the game would you?

[silverflagon]

Oh the ogre can't be avoided at all, he needs to be defeated for Naija to be able to travel on and into the Body.

[Align]

No, Ogre Battle is the name of a different game entirely...

[delve]

I think that comment was deliberate. At least, I hope it was.

[silverflagon]

I did wonder about the zodiac stones but I thought that you were talking about the stones that the boy uses to build the woman, people call these bosses and the items by diffreent names until they know the real ones, and I still do at times.

I was referring to an epically long strategy game for the old SNES system. Sorry, I guess the reference is more obscure than I thought. I'm showing my age, and my game geekiness. At the same time.

Thanks everyone. Alec asked for my save file and I also started over. Yahoo.

[Chibi]

Great - knowing Alec, he'll probably have your game up and running very quickly.

[silverflagon]

That's great Sindhi, keep in touch and let us know how you get on

[Alphasoldier]

I honestly hope Alec can figure out what has gone wrong, and not only fix the save file.

[silverflagon]

I think sometime no matter what a game designer does to cure bugs, a computer will often undo his work or gamers will continue to find those that he's missed 

[Chibi]

It's a losing battle - as long as game developers have deadlines and / or other pressures, bugs will remain.

Cave Story is one of the very few games I've played that has no bugs whatsoever, but Daisuke Amaya spent five years polishing it. This article describes the fact perfectly, and even mentions Aquaria. 

[EDIT]: _{Sorry for the digression, but I just started playing Cave Story.}

[silverflagon]

That was quite an interesting read Chibi and I might also play it sometime?

Talking of bugs though, I had a strange event happen tonight when fighting the Creators third form? I finally hurt him enough to send him running for the next level when I must of killed him instead so we both transported into the next area with him already transformed into the strange baby/boy? Has that ever happened to anyone else?
