    The Turn-Based mod of Final Fantasy IV on SFC has been released courtesy of clymax. The mod is for use with the J2e English fan translation but should also work with the original Japanese version.

    The mod is unofficial and unaffiliated with Square Enix.

    Release Build: Features

    You can find the release on Romhack Plaza here.

    Battles are now in turn-based mode.

    No more Active Time Battle (ATB) system.

    Development Build: Features

    You can now toggle turn-based via the config menu. The default setting is on.

    The sound setting was repurposed, so this setting now controls both turn-based and sound.

    A demo of the mod is below.

    So, what do you think? What’s your favorite battle system in the Final Fantasy series? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.

  • Perplexed Player Pans Re:Jobbed on RHDN

    Played Another Site’s Version Without Heeding Its Instructions

    The following reflects the personal opinion of clymax and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of any other individual of the FFV Central community or of the community as a whole.

    This post is made becauase Romhacking.net (RHDN) doesn’t have a way for a modder to reply to a player review, unlike other sites such as Romhack Plaza (RHP).

    The player review specifies version 1 of Re:Jobbed, which is not the version (0.8) hosted on RHDN here.

    So what’s this version 1, and where can it be found? Version 1 (beta) is hosted exclusively on RHP here. According to the hack submission, version 1 has two builds:

    Instead of checking the instructions or asking for assistance, our player leaves a review concluding the hack is “unfortunately broken,” when maybe it’s the player who unfortunately won’t read.

    So, what do you think? Comment below, or come check us out on Discord.

    This post compares randomizers that coders have made for the Dragon Quest series over the years.

    Both respinners and repatchers are included in this comparison.

    Respinners refer to internal randomizers, also called integrated or self-randomizers.

    Repatchers refer to external randomizers such as web- and app-based randos.

    Comparison Chart

    Randomizers that are not respinners are repatchers.

    Note that “⏯” represents a feature that can be toggled in game.
