  • FF Mystic Quest: Mystified Released

    You can follow clymax’s projects via FFVC or YouTube.

    The Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: Mystified mod has been released courtesy of clymax.

    Like all of clymax’s rando mods, it’s a self-randomizer, so just simply reset the game to play a new seed.

    A release build for Romhack Plaza is being considered, or you can get early access to the dev build on Game Jolt.

    Release Build: Features

    Chests give you randomized items. Seeding not yet supported.

    Development Build: Features

    Dummy items have been filtered out from being rolled.

    Doors in Focus Tower have been pre-opened.

    Seeding now supported based on the first five letters of Benjamin’s name. The order of opening chests doesn’t matter yet. To get this to work, the save ram has been expanded from 8KB to 64KB.

    The Life Indicator toggle now doubles as a Chest Rando toggle.

    The default setting for that toggle has been changed to Rando ON (numerical life indicator).

    All areas are unlocked to start.

    The order of opening chests now matters.

    So, what do you think? Was Square correct in shelving Final Fantasy Extreme in favor of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest? If you could improve one thing about the game, what would it be?
