Hi,
I've been looking around for more information and I apologize if the question has been explained, but what I want is for a hero to start off as in an armor and if that armor gets destroyed the russian doll attribute kicks in and he returns as his human form.
The problem is I don't know how to do this. I gave the character the russian doll attribute, but he returned as one of the default FF characters (Ice Queen I think). How do I tell the game to use the human form?
Ffxedit is your friend ;)
Open up FFX Edit (FFX control centre) scroll down to the hero file for whom you have the rusian doll attribute, click on it and you will see the russian doll attribute with "template" next to it, that is where you can chose what the next form the russian doll turns into.
