    Final Fantasy V: Super X-Magic (SFC)

    December 25, 2025

    As promised, for Christmas I have a new romhack that has been highly requested in the past. It allows characters using the X-Magic command to use ALL spells they have learned from other jobs automatically. 🎄🎁

    It also causes Red Magic to be 1 level higher than before. Therefore, Red Mages can use White and Black Magic up to level 4 like in Bravely Default. This makes Red Mages useful for a lot longer, even without X-Magic.

    My next project is my Super Passives patch. It makes all passive abilities equipped automatically as soon as they are learned. This includes the ability’s function, stat increases, and weapon/armor equips. It radically changes how you play the game.

    It’s a BIG patch, so it will take awhile to convert it to assembly.

    Final Fantasy Adventure Level Balancer (GB)

    January 2, 2026

    I had some free time today, so I decided to release another romhack.

    I always hated that 1 of the 4 stats doesn’t increase on level up, so this fixes that.

    Also, the offensive spells Ice, Lightning, and Nuke had their costs lowered to 1 so that focusing on magic attacks in combat is more viable in the late game.

    This patch includes Adam’s Color patch because I say NO to black and white whenever I can. 😎

    For those prone to getting lost, a World Map file is included.

    So, what do you think? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.

  • Boco’s Final Fantasy V Released

    Featuring Inu Megapack Integrated with RPGe Translation

    For the first time, the widely hailed work of Japanese romhacker Inu (dog) has been amassed for testing and integration with the monumental RPGe translation before being released as a standalone, no-frills megapack.

    Why the name “Boco’s FFV”?  Well, dog is man’s best friend, and Boco is Bartz’s best friend, so to speak, so there you go.

    Although certain hacks have used some of Inu’s work in the past, it is unclear how big of a fraction of Inu’s comprehensive body of work was included.

    Some of these works did not provide any integration with an English translation.

    Furthermore, those certain hacks added additional features, sometimes well beyond those that Inu intended to offer in his body of work.

    Project Status

    Additional documentation may be available later here or via Discord.

    • Phase 1: Inu’s bugfix patches for FFV – 76/76 integrated (1 excluded) – RHP publication here

    • Phase 3: Inu’s QoL loose patches for FFV – 16/18 integrated (2 in conflict, 6 excluded) – beta available today via FFV Central Discord

  • Fiesta Randomizer by solidification

    Four-Job Fiesta Runs of Final Fantasy V

    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.

    This a randomizer for people who want to just play random challenge runs in Final Fantasy V:

    • without logging into Twitter (clip) or registering for a user account,
    • without waiting on a bot,
    • without trying to find some hidden, obscure link, and
    • without getting yelled at by some guy who’s more interested in whatever stupid book he’s trying to peddle because he definitely does not care about Final Fantasy V anymore and just coasts on being the “main man” for Four Job Fiesta.

    Note that this web app may be a work in progress. Check back every now and then for potential new features.

  • Localizing Titles of Japanese Mods

    Final Fantasy V Hacks

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

    1. FF5r (Remix) by ff5aki: “Autumn Challenge”

    Recoined as FFV: Autumn Challenge via editorial discretion for purposes of the writer’s posts on this blog. Aki is taken to mean autumn in this context.

    The game difficulty is significantly increased from vanilla.

    Official name stays the same and will still be referenced.

    For Serity’s fan translation of this mod on RHDN, see here.

    2. FF5r-IC by waterga: “Heroine Trilogy”

    IC has no particular meaning.

    Recoined as FFV: Heroine Trilogy via editorial discretion for purposes of the writer’s posts on this blog.

    As the name suggests, this mod features a heroine instead of Bartz, and the mod itself spans three roms.

    Heroine Trilogy uses Autumn Challenge as a base. However, players need not concern themselves with this detail, especially with the advent of our web patcher.

    The game difficulty for the most part is on par with vanilla.

    Our translation team should ideally reach a unanimous decision before an official renaming can happen.

    For now, the official name stays the same and will still be referenced.

    For more info on our translation project, see here.

    3. FFV Clean and FF5r Clean by xJacks: “Clean Edition” (TBC)

    Exclusive font, script, and icon improvements along with a curated compilation of QoL and bugfixes.

    The mod author is currently considering a rebranding.

    My personal suggestion is to keep the current branding using the recoined names, i.e., FFV: Clean Edition and Autumn Challenge: Clean Edition.

    The reasoning is that the same approach is taken in both versions in terms of what’s being changed.

    To call them something different would seem to be more confusing. You may even find yourself explaining to someone, “Oh, ‘Sparkles’ is just ‘Clean’ but for Autumn Challenge” (made-up example).

    This post will be updated when more details from the mod author become available.

    For more info on the mod, see here.

    4. FFV: Ancient Cave by Anonymous

    This mod title is pretty self-explanatory, so it won’t need to be localized.

    For Sky Render’s fan translation of this mod on RHDN, click here.

    5. FFV: Nostalgia by Anonymous

    The naming of this mod can be revisited if and when a fan translation of this mod becomes available.

    6. FFV Patch Set (Bugfixes) and Various Patch Files (QoL) by Inu: “Boco’s FFV”

    clymax’s upcoming compilation mod of Inu’s work will be dubbed Boco’s FFV. More details to be released in the near future.
