save games compatibility

[pesmerga00]

I'm currently using Absolute Zero patch for Phantasia, will I be able to use the same save games on my memory card with Cless game patch when its released?

Our patch (Absolute Zero) doesn't change anything in the save data. It should still work with the original game. The characters names would be all scrambled, but you should be able to correct that by renaming the characters. Likewise, as long as the Phantasian Productions patch remains compatible with the original game's save data, there's no reason that it shouldn't work. You'll likely have to rename your characters though.

[Cless]

It's as he says. Names will likely be messed up. The features added store their saved data within three inconspicuous/thought to be unused bytes (they've never given us any trouble), but it won't break compatibility with other versions unless they use those same bytes for other purposes. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
