FF6 Hacking

I'd like to note that this is a work in progress; I'm doing this in sections and releasing a version after the completion of each section.

FF6 Hack goals:
-Keep the main story intact
-Make the game difficult, but possible through intelligent play
-Make level grinding unnecessary

-Make the important "perks" you get from weapons come with disadvantages (a ring that gives you protection from confusion and stone now also mutes you, the heavy shield randomly evades attacks but also lowers your speed, etc.)

-Make every battle "important"; no battle should be a simple repeating of the same attacks

-Edit spell and attack effects to prevent any spamability

-Enhance NPC dialog so that they give actual advice for the hack rather than the random musings they currently have

-Make GP a more scarce resource to be used intelligently rather than a giant dump of resources you never need at the end of the game



Currently this ROM Hack goes up until you defeat Vargas. Any comments would be nice to hear!

I'll take a look @ this when I get the chance

it sounds promising though

I've enjoyed making it; every release has two playthroughs up to that point. One where I try to "level up" a bit by fighting a few more battles than normal, and another where I deliberately avoid as many battles as possible. I want the former to be possible, but still manageably difficult, and the latter to be near impossible without luck; speed running the game by avoiding battles should be nigh impossible, at least early on.

sounds promising

I'm trying to solve that issue; learning magic before meeting Ramuh. I can get Edgar to learn scan through the plumed helm, but I can't get him to be able to use it! Magic is greyed out.

that seems strange, I've never had that problem before

are you using a 1.0 rom or a 1.1?

You need to hack any event before the first piece of magic-teaching equipment is available in order to do that. That is, tell the game "I want the magic command/espers" to be available. Translating this into code, you want to set a specific event bit so that you start gaining AP.

I haven't looked into that, but my boy xJCSx did it once, check this thread for more info:

Good Luck :p

Ah, I fixed it. It was something I had done with a specific item I had equipped XD
