    Run Type

    These are explanations for how the runs are determined and is required for all attempts.

    • Regular: Job 1 comes from Wind, Job 2 comes from Water, Job 3 comes from Fire, Job 4 comes from Earth
    • Typhoon: Job 1 comes from Wind, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water, Job 3 comes from Wind/Water/Fire, Job 4 comes from any
    • Geyser: Job 1 comes from Wind/Water, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Earth, Job 3 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Water/Earth
    • Sirocco: Job 1 comes from Wind/Fire, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Fire, Job 3 comes from Wind/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Fire/Earth
    • Onsen: Job 1 comes from Wind/Water, Job 2 comes from Water/Fire, Job 3 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Water/Fire/Earth
    • Haboob: Job 1 comes from Wind/Earth, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Earth, Job 3 comes from Wind/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Fire/Earth
    • Volcano: Job 1 comes from any, Job 2 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 3 comes from Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Earth
    • Meteor: All Jobs come from any Crystal
      Classic: Only Jobs include Knight, Thief, Monk, Red Mage, White Mage, or Black Mage
    • Onion: Job 1 is Black Mage, Knight, or Thief; Job 2 is Monk, Red Mage, or White Mage; Job 3 is Bard, Geomancer, or Summoner; Job 4 is Dragoon, Ninja, or Ranger

    Rod Breaking

    These determine whether or not Jobs are limited based on their ability to break rods.

    • Team 750: Can break rods (White Mage, Black Mage, BLue Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, Red Mage, Geomancer, Bard, Chemist, Dancer
    • Team No 750: Cannot break rods (Thief, Monk, Knight, Mystic Knight, Berserker, Ninja, Beastmaster, Ranger, Samurai, Dragoon)
    • Team 375: Will have 2 Jobs from Team 750 and 2 Jobs from Team No 750

    Options

    These are explanations for the different modifiers.

    • Exclude Berserker: Berserker is included by default with the Water Crystal, and this option will remove it (incompatible with the Berserker Risk slider)
    • Allow Freelancer: Freelancer is excluded by default, and this option will allow its inclusion with any Crystal
    • Exclude Mime: Mime is included by default, and this option will exclude it from the Water Crystal
    • Include Advance Jobs: For the Game Boy Advance version, these Jobs (Gladiator, Cannoneer, Oracle, and Necromancer) are excluded by default, and this option will include them with any Crystal. Be careful of Necromancer’s end-game status. May cause issues with Upgrade Jobs Option
    • Fifth Job: When Krile replaces Galuf, will provide her or the party (depending on other Options) with an additional Job(s)
      Natural Jobs Only: This will modify the output such that instead of Wind Crystal Job, it will display Bartz’s Job, and so on for the other characters, and these Jobs should be used exclusively by those characters
    • Allow Duplicates: This randomizer forces the initial results to have exclusive Jobs, but this will allow for any same Job to be repeated
    • Upgrade Jobs: Provides 3 (or 4, if Fifth Job is selected) points in the game where the player must move from Job 1 to Job 2, then to Job 3, and so on
    • Forbidden Job: Provides either 1 Job or 4 Jobs (if Unique Rolls Per Character is selected) that must be removed upon entering the Void. If Natural Jobs Only is chosen, will instead provide a character that must become Freelancer upon entering the Void
    • Allow Neo-Exdeath Rules: Requires that the final battle must be done with all characters entering as the first Job and containing any ability from the second Job listed, per character
    • Auto-Assign All Jobs: incompatible with Allow Neo-Exdeath Restrictions and Unique Rolls Per Character and Natural Jobs Only as these are redundant. This option demands that the player must be only the Jobs provided and follows the same output as Natural Jobs Only’s output
    • Unique Rolls Per Character: Instead of 4 Jobs total, this option assigns 4 Jobs per character, and the output is modified accordingly, showing which character receives which Jobs
    • Berserker Risk: influences the multiplier of Berserker being added to the randomization, from 0x (default) to 12x (maximum) in integer increments. Incompatible with Exclude Berserker

    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.
