  • Epic Clash Between Spriter and Repro-Cart Seller on FFIV Mod’s Discord Server

    Spritework Offered for Sale Without Permission, Allegedly

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    December 2, 2025

    Spriter: Am I seeing this right? Are you selling bootleg carts and including optional patches? First, get my name off of it, now. Second, many of those optional patches are my work, or include parts of my work, and, no, you are not allowed to sell them under any circumstance, in any form.

    Spriter: [Seller] does not have the rights to sell or distribute the Final Fantasy IV ROM. [Seller] does not have permission to sell any of my work included in FFIV [Modification]’s optional patches. If you buy a reproduction cart from [Seller], you are purchasing an illegal product and stolen non-commercial fanart. I condemn the inclusion of my work and the use of my online handle on this eBay page.

    Seller: I see, will remove

    Also, be sure to send some cease and desist to this seller as well: [link redacted]

    and this one: [link redacted]

    there may be a few others

    Spriter: Your eBay page still contains original art of mine, in addition to edited work. [3 artwork names redacted], most of the fonts.

    Seller: [4 links redacted]

    These all have them too

    Spriter: I don’t speak for the main FFIV [Modification] project, I don’t speak for Square Enix. I don’t condone the sale of reproduction carts in general, and I don’t care to discuss creative, wrong interpretations of copyright law and enforcement. My concern is I do not want art that I created and especially not my name associated with your illegal bootlegs.

    Moderator: this sounds like an excellent conversation to have in dms

    Modification-Team Member A: Please leave it to the DMs guys.

    If there’s something that involves someone else, please also DM them and handle it in private.

    [Editor’s note: messages were deleted by Moderator]

    Moderator: I am deleting the recent messages and WILL ban/kick if necessary. I, as a moderator, made a direct specific request to keep it to dms

    if the dms themselves weren’t civil, there was no reason to bring it back into the public channels of this discord

    [Editor’s note: Following this exchange, the Spriter was noted as no longer being in the Discord. It was not immediately clear whether the Spriter was booted from the Discord or left of his own accord.]

    Modification-Team Member B: I was asked to remove some patches from the archive today in regards to a community member selling some physical copies of [Modification]. Any major combination of the existing patches in the archive are available in [Seller’s] storefront, so I was asked by a contributor to remove their content as they are not interested in this arrangement. If you also would like your patches removed from the public archive and the web patchers for any reason, now or in the future, let me know

    What do you think? Do you side with the spriter or seller in this case? What’s your take on repro carts of mods in general? Comment below, or check us out on Discord.

  • 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.

    Our localized nickname for Final Fantasy C2 is Final Fantasy II Embedded.

    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.

    So, what do you think? Where does Final Fantasy C2 rank among Japanese mods of the SFC trilogy of the Final Fantasy series? How do you think it compares to Final Fantasy II on the Famicom? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.

  • Randomizers Compared

    Final Fantasy Series

    For the Whirlwind family of mods, click here. For clymax’s projects, click here.

    This post compares randomizers that coders have made for the Final Fantasy series over the years.

    Both respinners and repatchers are included in this comparison.

    Respinners refer to internal randomizers, also called integrated or self-randomizers.

    Repatchers refer to external randomizers such as web- and app-based randos.

    Note that roguelikes are not included in this post. They may be the subject of a future post. For now, you can find the Ancient Cave hacks for FFV and FFVA here and here.

    Randomizers for the Advance version are not otherwise included but can be included in a future post. For now, you can find one here; the other is not currently available via the surface web.

    Comparison Chart

    Randomizers that are not respinners are repatchers.

    Note that “⏯” represents that the respinner can be toggled in-game mid-run, where toggling it off gives you a vanilla experience. Such a feature is not feasible with repatchers.
