    Run Type

    These are explanations for how the runs are determined and is required for all attempts.

    • Regular: Job 1 comes from Wind, Job 2 comes from Water, Job 3 comes from Fire, Job 4 comes from Earth
    • Typhoon: Job 1 comes from Wind, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water, Job 3 comes from Wind/Water/Fire, Job 4 comes from any
    • Geyser: Job 1 comes from Wind/Water, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Earth, Job 3 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Water/Earth
    • Sirocco: Job 1 comes from Wind/Fire, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Fire, Job 3 comes from Wind/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Fire/Earth
    • Onsen: Job 1 comes from Wind/Water, Job 2 comes from Water/Fire, Job 3 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Water/Fire/Earth
    • Haboob: Job 1 comes from Wind/Earth, Job 2 comes from Wind/Water/Earth, Job 3 comes from Wind/Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Fire/Earth
    • Volcano: Job 1 comes from any, Job 2 comes from Water/Fire/Earth, Job 3 comes from Fire/Earth, Job 4 comes from Earth
    • Meteor: All Jobs come from any Crystal
      Classic: Only Jobs include Knight, Thief, Monk, Red Mage, White Mage, or Black Mage
    • Onion: Job 1 is Black Mage, Knight, or Thief; Job 2 is Monk, Red Mage, or White Mage; Job 3 is Bard, Geomancer, or Summoner; Job 4 is Dragoon, Ninja, or Ranger
    • Crystal: Jobs are relevant to the Crystal they are attached to, either by stat or some interpretation of the Job. Job 1 (Wind/Strength) is Knight, Beastmaster, Ranger, Bard, or Dragoon; Job 2 (Water/Magic) is Black Mage, White Mage, Blue Mage, Red Mage, or Summoner; Job 3 (Fire/Speed) is Thief, Time Mage, Mime, Ninja, Dancer, or Samurai; Job 4 (Earth/Stamina) is Monk, Berserker, Mystic Knight, Geomancer, or Chemist

    Rod Breaking

    These determine whether or not Jobs are limited based on their ability to break rods.

    • Team 750: Can break rods (White Mage, Black Mage, BLue Mage, Time Mage, Summoner, Red Mage, Geomancer, Bard, Chemist, Dancer
    • Team No 750: Cannot break rods (Thief, Monk, Knight, Mystic Knight, Berserker, Ninja, Beastmaster, Ranger, Samurai, Dragoon)
    • Team 375: Will have 2 Jobs from Team 750 and 2 Jobs from Team No 750

    Options

    These are explanations for the different modifiers.

    • Exclude Berserker: Berserker is included by default with the Water Crystal, and this option will remove it (incompatible with the Berserker Risk slider)
    • Allow Freelancer: Freelancer is excluded by default, and this option will allow its inclusion with any Crystal
    • Exclude Mime: Mime is included by default, and this option will exclude it from the Water Crystal
    • Include Advance Jobs: For the Game Boy Advance version, these Jobs (Gladiator, Cannoneer, Oracle, and Necromancer) are excluded by default, and this option will include them with any Crystal. Be careful of Necromancer’s end-game status. May cause issues with Upgrade Jobs Option
    • Fifth Job: When Krile replaces Galuf, will provide her or the party (depending on other Options) with an additional Job(s)
    • Natural Jobs Only: This will modify the output such that instead of Wind Crystal Job, it will display Bartz’s Job, and so on for the other characters, and these Jobs should be used exclusively by those characters
    • Allow Duplicates: This randomizer forces the initial results to have exclusive Jobs, but this will allow for any same Job to be repeated
    • Upgrade Jobs: Provides 3 (or 4, if Fifth Job is selected) points in the game where the player must move from Job 1 to Job 2, then to Job 3, and so on
    • Forbidden Job: Provides either 1 Job or 4 Jobs (if Unique Rolls Per Character is selected) that must be removed upon entering the Void. If Natural Jobs Only is chosen, will instead provide a character that must become Freelancer upon entering the Void
    • Allow Neo-Exdeath Rules: Requires that the final battle must be done with all characters entering as the first Job and containing any ability from the second Job listed, per character
    • Auto-Assign All Jobs: This option demands that the player must be only the Jobs provided and follows the same output as Natural Jobs Only’s output
    • Unique Rolls Per Character: Instead of 4 Jobs total, this option assigns 4 Jobs per character, and the output is modified accordingly, showing which character receives which Jobs
    • Berserker Risk: influences the multiplier of Berserker being added to the randomization, from 0x (default) to 12x (maximum) in integer increments. Incompatible with Exclude Berserker

    Note: Allow Neo-Exdeath Restrictions, Auto-Assign All Jobs, and Unique Rolls Per Character are incompatible with each other, either because of logic contradictions or redundancy.

    Romhack of Faxanadu (NES)

    Xynosaur is a fan of retrogaming who is also a creator in demo/chip music. You can follow Xyno’s work via YouTube, Bandcamp, or Soundcloud.

    The romhack is courtesy of Ascended Mermaid, whose work you can follow on YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, or Github.

    Writes Xyno:

    I know, I know…the game was made by Hudson Soft but it says Falcom on the title screen ! :O

    Forget about Ys or Trails tonight…we gonna go back in time, when the only Falcom games that was released here was Ys on the Sega Master System and Dragon Slayer IV (named Legacy of the Wizard in US) !!

    Playing on the Rest[o]ration romhack patch in which you get the original Japanese sprites, better translation, recovered the name system that was removed from the US version and NO MORE PASSWORDS !!! (Thank GOD !)

    The hack publication can be found on RHDN here, or check out the Faxanadu Randomizer and Romhacking Discord here.

    Part two of the Let’s Play follows.

    Respinner TBA

    Check back here for an announcement of clymax’s respinner based on the successor Retranslation hack of Faxanadu Restoration.
