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 recovery 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.
Regarding the most 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.
Successfully got the Final Fantasy Legend 3 sound engine working in 2.
Now I need to translate the songs from 2 to get them back in.
After that will be Legend 1 and Adventure, followed by other songs I’ve already been translating over
Speaking exclusively with FFV Central, Yohnstoppable adds:
I was translating songs over to use for the FFL2 sound engine, but it doesn’t have a pulse channel. So I was throwing away the drum channel for every song. Got sick of that and brought the 3 engine in.
Hoping to have 100 total songs on the jukebox when I’m done.
Music from Legends 1 and 3 and Adventure will be a part of it. Then a lot of NES music and a few songs from other Gameboy games. A few SNES songs, too, but those can be difficult to condense
So, what do you think? What track would you like to listen to most in modded Final Fantasy Legend II? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.
