  • Final Fantasy C2: Item Master Released

    You can follow clymax’s projects via FFVC or YouTube.

    The Item Master mod of the Final Fantasy C2 mod of Final Fantasy IV on SFC has been released via commission and courtesy of clymax.

    It belongs to the new lineup of “Super Cheat” mods by clymax. They go beyond what cheat codes can typically give you. This lets you take full control of your gameplay.

    A release build for Romhack Plaza is being considered, or you can get early access to the dev build on Game Jolt.

    Development Build: Features

    Grind epic loot like never before! A new Drop Rarity slider puts control right in your hands.

    The default slider value gives you normal drop behavior.

    The next four notches let you control loot rarity. Of these, the first notch guarantees a common drop from every enemy.

    The second notch guarantees a tier-one rare drop from every enemy.

    The third notch guarantees a tier-two rare drop from every enemy.

    The fourth notch guarantees a tier-three rare drop from every enemy. This is the highest tier of rarity.
