Project Overview

The FF6Hacking.com Full Roster Hack is a community project wherein the community will be outlining and prototyping full-fledged 15th and 16th permanent party members to Final Fantasy VI. This involves hacking everything from sprites, to story, to events, to maps, to abilities, to menus! It's an extremely ambitious project, but we can do it together.

This is actually an expansion on the idea we originally set forth in the 15th-Man Project, back in 2013, that regrettably went dead. However, it is time for it to see new life. After taking an informal vote, the consensus was that you all wanted to finish Iris Havengard from the 15th-Man Project, then create another brand-new-from-scratch PC after that. So that is the plan!

There are, of course, limitations to this kind of thing, most notably the inability to use guest characters after obtaining both characters 15 and 16, however we can easily work around this by making these characters WoR only;, or temporary guests/cameo characters in the WoB only later to be recruited permanently. But besides this, everything else is something we can work through. Due to recent releases, most of what we need to create full-fledged PCs is already done. And the rest will be up to our coders to work together to solve.

Content-creators will also have a place to shine. We will be needing sprites, music, and even maps for our new characters... and we have some excellent talent on the site to help us. I wholeheartedly believe you can come up with some truly amazing things.

We will also be needing ideas. Like the previous installment of the project, we will make almost all of our decisions via submission and public vote. Even those without any hacking skills can make a huge difference by simply participating in submissions and voting! We will be needing background information, ties to existing characters/plot, event ideas, and dialogue. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't have ideas for these kinds of things, it's why you came to FF6Hacking.com in the first place: to make something new. Take this as an opportunity to learn more about the hacking process. Pick up new skills to add to your hacks.

I can't wait to get rolling on this. Keep an eye out for submissions and polls to start appearing in the near future. Coders, please check out the ASM thread for things we need your help with and sign up for a topic.

Happy Hacking!
