    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
      Examples: power-drink glitch, item-duping glitch
    • Phase 2: Inu’s improvement patches for FFV – 7/8 integrated (1 in conflict, 3 excluded) – see below
      Examples: GBA dash, improved item sort
    • Phase 3: Inu’s QoL loose patches for FFV – 16/18 integrated (2 in conflict, 6 excluded) – beta currently available only as a private mod for our player community, namely, those with the Crystal Warrior role in Discord
      Examples: pass turn in battle, L/R character scrolling in menus
