  • FFVA: Action Growth Released

    Romhack of Final Fantasy V Advance (GBA)

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

    Says hack author Retch in an RHDN submission here:

    Features

    • Characters grow according to what they actually do in battle
    • Physical combat can improve Strength, Agility, and Attack
    • Magic use can improve Magic and Max MP
    • Taking, blocking, and avoiding attacks can improve Stamina, Defense, Evasion, Magic Defense, and Max HP
    • Stat growth is somewhat randomized, so qualifying actions create a chance for growth rather than guaranteeing an increase every time
    • Characters can develop in very different ways depending on how they are played
    • A mage can become physically capable through physical combat
    • A warrior can become more magically capable through repeated magic use

    Retch adds the following:

    Combat Rank

    Traditional character Levels are replaced by Combat Rank.

    Combat Rank ranges from 1 to 99 and is based on permanent development in:

    • Strength
    • Agility
    • Stamina
    • Magic
    • Attack
    • Defense
    • Evasion
    • Magic Defense

    Combat Rank supplies the Level-like value still needed by Final Fantasy V’s battle formulas. Monsters continue using their normal Levels.

  • Odyssey Enters Open Beta [Update: Released]

    Romhack of Final Fantasy V (SFC)

    You can follow the work of HatZen08 via RHDN.

    Sora is a new streamer aiming to bring more awareness to the awesome romhacks out there like FFVI: T-Edition, Chrono Trigger+, FFIV: Ultima Plus, Secret of Mana+, etc. You can follow Sora via YouTube or Twitch.

    Mod sampler livestream brought to you by Sora. Full playthrough may be coming soon—check his streaming roadmap here.

    Update: the hack has been published on Romhack Plaza here courtesy of clymax.

    Says hack author HatZen08 on this respinner in a forum post on FF6Hacking here:

    It is a built-in randomizer. After the name setup, all characters will be randomized. Each different name should create a different setup. You can’t change their jobs or abilities.

    The ‘row’ and ‘def’ commands were changed to ‘fray’ and ‘heal’. ‘fray’ will attack a random enemy with a fight command and ‘heal’ will recover[] half of the caster hp. It is designed to be a basic attack/healing if nothing better is available.

    The first command will be a random menu-alike ability, like white, black, throw, sing, drink, etc. The other three comands will be abilities without menu, like dance, gaia, flirt, guard, etc.

    The weapons and gears that the characters can equip were randomized as well.

    The jobs were updated and have old, new or updated traits. Those traits can change the behaviour of the ‘fray’ and ‘heal’ commands and add unique quirks to the characters.

    Demo clip courtesy of clymax.

    Regarding a recent update, version 1.1, HatZen08 adds:

    I updated the project. In summary, the changes were new/updated abilities and new counter traits. Instead of counter only with the ‘fight’ command, others commands can be used as counters instead of only ‘fight’.

    For balance and to add the new counters i changed the traits by job.

    The hack incorporates the GBA Script Port addendum to the RPGe translation.

    Additional documentation is slated to be provided on the release of the hack.

    Update: the documentation and even assembly source are now included, available on FF6Hacking here.
