    Final Fantasy League

    The Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta (FJF) event has been renewed for a second season, running from June 1 to August 31.

    This was first announced here on Romhack Plaza, affiliate of FFV Central.

    Announcements were later made on Speedrun.com here and on RHDN here.

    The event is based on the FFV: Whirlwind respinner.

    The event remains largely the same as last year’s.

    For more info on the event, see last year’s post below.

    Starting this year, playing in Fiesta mode is required for the event. This means Division III is not available this season except for players who wish to do more than a first run.

    This year, invited communities get three prequalification slots each. Two mystery guests have been invited. In addition, there are two slots for “last-chance qualified” communities to appear as mystery guests. The mystery guests also get three prequalification slots each.

    As with last year, a minimum of eight signups can be required for the event awards to be awardable.

    Starting this year, of the bonus divisions, only Division IV-A is available, and only to members with the Crystal Warrior role.

    Dragon Quest League

    This season, a new league based on the Dragon Quest VI: Aflame respinner is eligible to be opened based on player interest.

    Currently, eligible players can redeem just one mod per season, so choose between Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.

    Playing in Fiesta mode is required for the event. Additional runs can be played in other modes.

    Due to the difficult nature of the challenge, players are required to have completed vanilla Dragon Quest VI (SFC or DS version).

    A minimum of eight signups can be required for this league to be opened or, alternatively, for the league of a new mod to be added next season.

    A minimum of eight signups can be required for the event awards to be awardable.

    As for the new mod eligible to be added, see the event roadmap near the end of this post for more details.

    For more on the Aflame mod, see the related post below.

    Event Seed

    The event seed will be named after Fire Storm from FF6 Hacking to honor his memory.

    Grand Prize

    Aside from the badge/role awards, the Fiesta Champion of each season will be able to redeem the dev build of any mod from the Game Jolt collection, including all future updates. For more on the mods, click here.

    Or, a three-time champion can redeem a commissioned respinner of a game of the champion’s choosing, where the game is of a supported system (NES, SNES, PCE, GB, GBC).

    So, what are you waiting for? Come by our Discord, and we hope to see you in the game!

  • Readme of Translation Addendum of Autumn Challenge

    Romhack of Final Fantasy V (SFC)

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

    Author credit for all game notes goes to Serity.

    FF5r English – Nov.19 to Nov.29, 2020
    Version 1.0c

    Installation:
    (1) Obtain an unheadered FF5j ROM. Not headered, and not translated.
    The compatible and tested version has a CRC32 checksum of C1BC267D.
    (2) Acquire FF5r from https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1408/
    (3) Install FF5r140.ips (not FF5r140h.ips) over your FF5j ROM.
    (4) Install this patch over your new FF5r140 ROM.
    (5) Play!

    Important notes:

    • Enemies have two rare and one common steal. You can steal from
      an enemy until they have no items left (you can get everything).
      The second rare steal is the same item as the rare drop.
    • Some additional item icons were added not in the japanese FF5r, in
      order to hopefully better categorize items into light, heavy, etc.

    Thanks to:
    s8fp98fd5k – Developed FF5r in the first place!
    RPGe – I borrowed heavily from their work. Their font, their
    English-supporting ASM hacks, and the main story dialogue
    were used directly, along with many combat messages,
    enemy names, spell names, etc. They’ve mostly been touched
    up or modernized where applicable.
    FlandreScarlet64 – Suggesting FF5r, playtesting, feedback.
    Kain Stryder – Translation of new content.
    Odym82 – Translation of new content.
    ScarabEnigma – Playtesting, provided an end-game save, feedback.
    Others at the FF6 Hacking Discord –
    Feedback on translations, playtesting.
    Tsushiy/FF6 T-Edition – Used some icons for grouping equipment.

    Tested and working on:
    Snes9x 1.60 (Windows), bsnes v115 (Windows), ZSNES v1.51 (Windows)
    Snes9x EX+ 1.5.49 (Android)

    Known issues:

    • In some emulators, the game may crash at the text in the intro.
      The only emulator this is known to occur on at the moment is a 3DS emulator.
