    Final Fantasy V: Super X-Magic (SFC)

    December 25, 2025

    As promised, for Christmas I have a new romhack that has been highly requested in the past. It allows characters using the X-Magic command to use ALL spells they have learned from other jobs automatically. 🎄🎁

    It also causes Red Magic to be 1 level higher than before. Therefore, Red Mages can use White and Black Magic up to level 4 like in Bravely Default. This makes Red Mages useful for a lot longer, even without X-Magic.

    My next project is my Super Passives patch. It makes all passive abilities equipped automatically as soon as they are learned. This includes the ability’s function, stat increases, and weapon/armor equips. It radically changes how you play the game.

    It’s a BIG patch, so it will take awhile to convert it to assembly.

    Final Fantasy Adventure Level Balancer (GB)

    January 2, 2026

    I had some free time today, so I decided to release another romhack.

    I always hated that 1 of the 4 stats doesn’t increase on level up, so this fixes that.

    Also, the offensive spells Ice, Lightning, and Nuke had their costs lowered to 1 so that focusing on magic attacks in combat is more viable in the late game.

    This patch includes Adam’s Color patch because I say NO to black and white whenever I can. 😎

    For those prone to getting lost, a World Map file is included.

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

  • PSA: Discord Opts Users In to Being Pinged

    With No Way Out Except Tediously Doing So for Each Individual Server

    Disclaimer: the opinions contained in this post are personal opinions of clymax and do not necessarily reflect those of anyone else in or outside of the FFV Central community.

    1. Case Study

    Unidentified Final Fantasy Modding Discord of ~2,400 Members

    September 10, 2025

    [Server Admin A pings everyone asking everyone in advance to please refrain from discussing irl topic X.]

    [User backlash ensues. More pings occur from other moderators.]

    User A: pinging everyone was a mistake tbh, it’s going to have the exact opposite of the intended effect

    I’m in over 100 servers all about totally different things and yet only one of them did ” HEY @ EVERYONE DONT TALK ABOUT THIS ONE THING!!! “

    i dont care about being pinged I’m trying to tell you that your idea of pinging everyone is horribly backfiring which surely you’ve already realized by now

    Server Admin B: i have a hot take………. why does everyone in ANY way care about being pinged

    like…….. literally who cares

    clymax: Imho it’s Discord that dropped the ball bigtime, allowing no way for a user to opt into or opt out of all notifications across all servers [including future servers].

    This means that pinging a user can amount to forcing them to [immediately] reassess whether to block notifications on this Discord specifically.

    Game-Modification Team Member: You can set your ping settings on a server as soon as you join it. I always recommend doing this so you don’t get hit by pings you don’t want.

    clymax: Many of us have 100 or 200 Discords. No one wants to go through and manually block each one, esp. when that list changes continually.

    [Editor’s note: Not flexing here, as what is there to flex? But because I’ve been in Discords large and small, I’ve observed how users have responded to being pinged in Discords both much larger than and much smaller than FFV Central.

    Also, images added for context.]

    2. Another Case Study

    Unidentified Retro Gaming Server of ~600 Members

    [Server Admin pings everyone continually on various updates to the server. Presumably, an exodus of members ensued, and the Server Admin found out why.]

    August 20, 2024

    Server Admin: Sorry everyone for all
    The notifications I was in the process of of building the server I will not @-everyone like that ag[a]in. Sorry for the inconvenience

    August 21, 2024

    clymax: No worries bro, the problem is with Discord tbh. Not only is the following option not available, but it’s also the opposite setting by default
    (see: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/23790790573207-Disable-everyone-Notifications-Across-All-Servers )

    You’re doing a great job btw. Seems Discord just really wants ppl to ping each other more 🤣

    Server Admin: Yea it’s garbage but it is also my fault I just wanted to make sure everyone could see what they needed and could navigate the server I got carried away lol

    I appreciate it and yes lol seems that way. I have this server more set up so I shouldn’t need to tag everyone there is a directory we have channels for everything but will have a couple more for another project ppl can see what they need to and or want to leveling system entertainment channels the works lol

    clymax: Bro I get where you’re coming from. I have a project thread in RHDN forums for my FFV hack. Every time I update my post I have to resist the urge to bump my own thread 🤣 Otherwise it’s buried—rn it’s not even listed on page one anymore.

    Server Admin: 😂exactly I just feel like it’s more important than it really is I guess because of the time I put into it it’s my baby lol but @ is a bad habit

    clymax: Could even have a self-managed role to get news about latest Discord-server updates, but the updates will probably be less frequent as the server grows tbh

    Server Admin: We have that to[o]

    Yup the roll[role] selection there are a few to choose from or all of you want

    clymax: Nice

    Server Admin: Yea that way
    You can see what you want and hopefully not get notifications from what you don’t

    3. From Around the Web

    If I need to be the one showing you these memes, maybe you don’t use Discord as much as you think you did. Just maybe.

    Memes aside, even a cursory web search can let you gauge how Discord users feel about this subject.

    4. A Workaround for Server Admins

    Did you just send, or allow some user to send, an everyone or here ping?

    Congratulations, this is how I respond as a user, as Discord prevents users from opting out once across all and future servers. And I assure you it’s not just me.

    Before and after screenshots below.

    Yes, allowing pings to happen only ensures fewer and fewer will actually get the pings over time.

    Solution for Discord owners? Disable pings for all roles, including everyone and here, with the lone exception of possibly the moderation role.

    Create new self-managed roles of different types, with “alerts” clearly in the role name. Do not opt users in to any of these roles by default.

    Enjoy not exacerbating a problem that Discord created.

    So, what do you think? Agree or disagree? Comment below, or come check us out on our Discord (where role pings are disabled, I might add).

  • Is Romhacking.net Low-Key Shaming Alternative Sites It Beefed With?

    Any Mention of Romhack Plaza is Automatically Hyperlinked to Old Reddit Drama Thread—and More

    For clymax’s projects, click here. You can also follow him on YouTube or Twitter.

    1. Intro

    A project thread of mine in the RHDN forums apparently contains some image hotlinks (which I should be fixing anyway) that became broken after a certain point in time, possibly in mid-2025.

    To be clear, these images worked fine for a period of time.

    But why did these end up being broken?

    This is what I saw today when attempting to fix the images.

    It looks like any link to (update: mention of) Romhack Plaza (RHP) is being auto-converted to instead point to a Reddit thread regarding some old drama between the two sites (which Romhack Plaza’s predecessor already addressed here).

    Could this be an accident?

    Or is RHDN refusing to squash its beef with one it deems as its competitor?

    Let’s check another project thread of mine here.

    Seems not.

    We get that beef happens. But is that not something that the hacking community can overcome?

    Is this the kind of culture that we want to see being set in our community?

    2. Analysis

    The original image (not hotlinked this time):

    The original forum shortcode with hotlinked image URL:

    [img width=256 height=224]https://romhackplaza.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FF5r-IC-Disc1-English-translation-v0.01-by-clymax_027.png[/img]

    The autoconverted result by RHDN:

    [img width=256 height=224]https://[url=https://www.reddit.com/r/romhacking/comments/18xgc3b/romhacksorg_admin_sabotaged_romhackingnet/][url=https://www.reddit.com/r/romhacking/comments/18xgc3b/romhacksorg_admin_sabotaged_romhackingnet/][url=https://www.reddit.com/r/romhacking/comments/18xgc3b/romhacksorg_admin_sabotaged_romhackingnet/][url=https://www.reddit.com/r/romhacking/comments/18xgc3b/romhacksorg_admin_sabotaged_romhackingnet/]romhackplaza[/url][/url][/url][/url].org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FF5r-IC-Disc1-English-translation-v0.01-by-clymax_027.png[/img]

    Basically, RHDN’s automated script looks for:

    romhackplaza

    and auto-adds a hyperlink to the drama thread, like this:

    romhackplaza

    Based on further testing it was discovered that the URL shortcode is nested four deep in this case due to four edited submissions having been made.

    That is to say, each additional edited submission results in one further level of nesting of the URL shortcode.

    3. Validation

    Should we test our hypothesis? A different thread is used.

    “romhackplaza” was temporarily added at the end of the post.

    The result is now hyperlinked as explained in the previous section.

    The auto-added shortcode can be seen on re-editing the post.

    This shows that the auto-conversion is still active to this day.

    For what it’s worth, other variants were also tested but appear unaffected.

    4. Another Discovery

    It has since been reported to yours truly that you get a similar result if you try to mention Romhack.ing.

    Here is a test:

    And the result:

    where

    romhack.ing

    became

    Idiots that staged a hostile takeover.

    in reference to an incident we previously covered here.
