There aren't any overflow bugs like that, no. In the original, your stats could go above 99, which would break the number display. Would cap at 109 because stat bonuses from equipment didn't stack, and it showed the number as A9. It still functioned correctly though. I'm not sure if this version allows stats to go beyond 99, but it's not visible in the stat screen if it does.
In the original game, Ultima was relatively strong for a level 1 spell but basically did not scale at all so it was pretty useless.
If Berserk increases spell damage in this, that would be something new. It's just supposed to increase attack.
Tested it, and it does not seem to scale spell damage. Did about the same damage with Blizzard both before and after several stacks. The effect is fairly dramatic on weapons, so it should be very noticeable. As in, I just gave Maria a Longbow I had lying around, cast Berserk 7 a few times with her, Berserk 3 a couple times with Guy, and the multitarget Haste from Masamune, and she was doing 1500 damage using a weak bow and no weapon skill.
The only stat growth that is impacted by job changes is HP
No, that's FFV. Here, your jobs do get better at attacks, spells, and skills, but they don't learn anything new.
I've been struggling at Chaos for similar reasons (had my friends pick my party so I ended up with Fighter, Thief, and two Red Mages) but I didn't realize Temper stacks that much. Gonna try this and see how it goes, thank you!
There was another date floating around….I can't remember where from but that set IV as a 30th August release I think. Sorry I'm fuzzy on the details but I'm 100% sure there were two dates that came from Steam. So I think we should expect at least a month between releases.
To be fair, there was like no marketing for the first three until the week before and then they just kind of dropped on the release day.
There is a trick in the NES version of FF3 that may still work in Pixel Remaster. The final boss's attacks are all physical, so Safe reduces its damage. Safe also stacks and never times out, so you can stack them until the final boss basically no longer does damage to you. What you can do is use a 1 Ninja, 1 Devout, 2 Sage composition. Give each one a Safe and Curaja (or at least the 2 with the highest job levels) spread Bahamut/Meteor/Flare/Levianthan between the Sages. Spend your first 5-10 turns buffing with Safe, then unload on the final boss.
Did they rebalance the casters that much? In the NES version, the -aga elemental spells (levels 4-6) did less damage than elemental summons (levels 2-4). And Summoners had more level 2-4 charges than Magus did 4-6, while Sages had comically more casts of elemental summons than Magus had -aga spells. Bahamut was stronger than Meteor too.
I recently went with RDM, MNK, WHM, BLM and had a great time finishing the game. Sure, you won't access a lot of the heavier armor and weapons, but it made combat much more entertaining.
