    The Dragon Quest VI: Aflame respinner on SFC has been released courtesy of clymax. The mod is for use with Noprgress’s English fan translation v0.9 Beta 2.

    The mod is unofficial and unaffiliated with Square Enix.

    A respinner refers to an internal randomizer, as opposed to an external one, which we refer to as a repatcher.

    With a respinner, simply reset the game to play a new randomization. Some respinners even let you play a vanilla game with enhanced QoL.

    Release Build

    A release is now available on Romhack Plaza here.

    Enemies have been randomized.

    Development Build: Features

    Tester: MarthSR

    You can follow speedrunner MarthSR via Twitch, YouTube, or SRC.

    The dev build is available via our Whirlwind Fiesta event. For players who do not wish to join the event, do not wish to use Discord, or wish to support the hack author, early access is also available via Game Jolt.

    Items randomized. Duplicates can be rolled. Seeding not yet supported.

    Wagon now obtainable.

    The fan-translation bug where you can target party members in the wagon has been fixed.

    Support added for auto seeding. To use this feature, enter “auto” without the quotes as your character name.

    Implements a workaround for the risk of a freeze when exiting out of the UI sequence for equipping via the Tactics menu in the fan translation.

    Use Return anywhere.

    Use Outside anywhere.

    Intro has been skipped.

    The MP cost of the Return spell has been reduced from one to zero.

    Sack now given to start to avoid the sack becoming missable due to the hack’s new sequence breaks.

    Provides a fix that prevents losing party members if you enter Deathcod without a wagon.

    Skips all text-related delays.

    Holding the B button now gets you a random encounter when you take a step.

    Flying speed doubled. Walking speed is doubled if you hold down the X button.

    On the roadmap is a “Four-Job Fiesta” restricted-vocations challenge mode if player interest is sufficient.

    Update: Fiesta mode implemented.

    M19B has been removed from the list of destinations for the Return spell.

    When starting a new game, you can now hold the Select button when the game starts to play the intro cutscene.

    Regardless of your equips, you can now fight Hell Cloud when completing the puzzle to activate Zenithia.

    Seed of Reasoning given to start for recruiting Amos.
