  • Making “FFV: Whirlwind” Eligible for Archipelago Integration

    In this devlog, clymax documents the changes to the Final Fantasy V: Whirlwind mod to make it Archipelago-eligible under current policies. You can follow clymax’s projects via FFVC or YouTube.

    Remaining Work

    A set of character and NPC interactions at minimum still need to be checked and debugged to make sure they still function properly following the script removals.

    Examples include recruiting characters such as Lenna and Faris, engaging summons such as Shiva and Ifrit, and engaging bosses, the thirteen demons of the Rift, and the three superbosses (Omega, Shinryu, and Gogo).

    However, with the changes noted in this post, the fan-translated script of the game should no longer be embedded in any patch of the Archipelago-oriented build of the mod.

  • English Full Translation for FF5r-IC Definitive

    For the related menu translation, see here.

    An English full translation has been released for waterga’s definitive mod of ff5aki’s Remix mod of Final Fantasy V courtesy of a translation team of clymax, xJ4cks, and BladePotato.

    Unlike the menu translation, which is built directly on IC, this full translation is achieved by extending Serity’s 5r compatibility bridge to the RPGe translation.

    For the latest builds, check us out on Discord. An online patching option is also available to Discord members courtesy of xJ4cks.

    Says xJ4cks:

    Please visit FFV Central if you’re interested in

    the Beta release of The Definitive FF5r-IC,

    the turbo-charged upgrade to FF5r!

    • new Jobs, with new Abilities (& entirely new Magic in Disc3)
    • lots of new armor and items, especially in Disc3
    • crazy optional boss challenges throughout the game, plus special leveling areas in Disc3
    • yes, this romhack spans 3 “discs” and you swap roms twice along the way
    • green haired lady MC versus Bartz (just because)

    A special webapp can patch all 3 roms, so come on over to playtest and discuss this (arguably excessive) version of FFV!

    • this project is ongoing, and is a joint venture between clymax, me, and BladePotato all contributing our special talents.
