the company I work for, the program is coded so terribly that if they remove pieces of shitty code that has been replaced the program breaks. having to leave broken shitty code in to keep the program running makes my head hurt

Couldn't the entire program be rewritten or too messed up to really bother?

Microsoft?

I laughed really hard at the above.

I'd say that this tops it all.

A bug occurred wherein Bards using March songs with Ryl. Spr. Horn +1 or Ryl. Spr. Horn +2 equipped would receive a massive boost in effectiveness.

Enough to make 2-handers swing like a 1-hander and a THF to swing like perma-Hundred Fists.

There was a glitch when they first added corsair, there was a glitch where rolls and songs would conflict or something, not having the right amount of buffs up. When they "fixed" it, you could have like 10 songs up on 1 party with only 2 bards. I would've loved to try this in a 6 bard party, having like 30 songs >.> but it was complicated enough with just 2 bards and I didn't personally know that many bards at the time. Nor was it an exact method.

It was something like bard1 plays ballad I, bard2 plays ballad I, B1 plays ballad II, B2-ballad2, then from there if B1/2 plays 2 different songs each, that'd make 6 songs. It's probably not exactly what happens, but the best way to describe it, is the computer forgets exactly who sang what song and disregards it, allowing you to sing 2 more without overwriting the 2 song/bard limit. I didn't know exactly the procedure needed to glitch it, but we just repeated each other's songs until the went "neutral" and then sang new songs.

correct me if i'm wrong on how it's done or why, it's been a while

Dunno about AA but as for AV, the Japanese don't tell anyone. =( Total cockblockers, they are.

Steal his sushi or something.

I had a blast levelling my lowbie RNG when they screwed up distances. You could stand out of range and blast worms forever because /ja and /ma (but not /ra) were accidentally shortened.

Though my favorite screwup was when they totally messed up the code on Reward. I think it was just Pet Food Delta, which would cure for like 12,000hp. Considering HP cured with reward is enmity towards the pet rather than yourself, it made for some serious tank-pets for the short time before it was fixed.

Pssh, there was a time when worms could actually move towards you. Good times. Also waaaay back in the day all the Gigas in Delkfutt's Tower would drop gil in excess of 1k gil a pop... man...

Also a few things for BLU, like being able to set a ton of spells on yourself during level capped areas and Burst Affinity being able to stack even more damage ontop of Chain Affinity during Physical spells.
