    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.

    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.
