    3. Mirrored Announcement Post

    Writes Sutarion of RA:

    The RA Awards are the community’s opportunity to highlight their favorite sets, developers, contributors, and community members from the prior year. . . . .

    This year we will be doing nominations for each system, rather than cutdowns. A Google form will be used to nominate sets that you enjoyed from each family of systems. Sets that receive the highest number of nominations will then be put to a vote to determine the winner. After the system nominations, we will also open nominations for staff and community members that contributed in 2024.

    • Nominations/votes should be based on the ACHIEVEMENT SET, not the game
    • You are NOT required to make a nomination for each every category/system

    RA Awards Timeline:

    • System Nominations
      • Nintendo
      • Sega
      • Sony – remaining voting categories to open later

  • Dev Anniversary: solidification

    We at FFV Central celebrate the week of the first anniversary (July 31) of our moderator solidification as an achievement developer.

    solidification’s journey has yielded achievements for virtually all eligible hacks of Final Fantasy VI, among other games.

    Showing no signs of slowing down despite the memory woes that FFVI is notorious for, solidification is now eyeing coding achievements for hacks of Final Fantasy IV.

    FFIV narrowly edged out FFV in a community poll recently held in the Discord.

    To follow solidification’s development journey, check out his developed-sets page here.

  • Achievements for FFVI: BA Edition

    solidification is a prolific creator of fan-made achievements across different game genres and especially in the world of Final Fantasy mods. You can follow solidification’s set-making journey here.

    Achievements for Final Fantasy VI: BA Edition have been released courtesy of solidification. Click on the box art to access the achievements.

    Writes solidification:

    You ever ask yourself, “Hey, we have a Japanese-only FF4 set for WSC.  Why not something similar for FF6?”  No?  Well, now you don’t have to!

    SPX stands for I have no idea, but it introduces some new bosses and apparently changes up the dialog considerably.  There are some balance tweaks, and overall it’s a harder experience.  Everyone is weaker except Stragus’s Blue magic, which is significantly stronger.

    But it has nothing on BA Edition, or “Balance Adjustments.”  Short of making a pure kaizo game, this is probably the hardest FF6 hack out there.  Almost every boss in the end-game has some gimmick, and, wow, are there hordes of new bosses.  And Mogu’s Dances now function similarly to Final Fantasy V’s !Terrain from Geomancers.

    In both versions, there are no Esper level up bonuses, and a few spells have been modified, removed, or added.  Good luck!
