Also, any idea how to change voice ID's? I remember there was something that had to be done. The engine keeps remembering Kitty as _FD_ and I'm trying to change it to _SC_.
It's been awhile, but I guess it depends where it's getting stuck. If you're changing it in the tab in FFEdit, I don't remember if you need to generate the sound .dat again. If you're trying to change it in the character creator and it won't save there, I found when I was first adding VP's to my game, it would give me issues if I named the VP in FFEdit the same as a hero file, so I just made sure to name them differently (typically I'd just use the first name of the civilian name, or some other nickname).
I haven't done any changing to FFVTTR, so I'm not sure if there's any differences there that need to be accounted for.
