    Aflame Vanilla Any% Order in 1:06:44

    Date: August 13, 2026

    Team: FF4 Ultima

    It is rumored that a fanfare skip has recently been under development. Does this mean that a sub-hour run is no longer TAS-only?

    Mod and Event Info

    The romhack is the Aflame respinner for Dragon Quest VI on the Super Famicom here.

    The run was submitted as part of the Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta event here.

    So, what do you think? Is DQVI: Aflame a mod you’d consider picking up for speedrunning? If so, what are you waiting for?

  • Odyssey Enters Open Beta [Update: Released]

    Romhack of Final Fantasy V (SFC)

    You can follow the work of HatZen08 via RHDN.

    Sora is a new streamer aiming to bring more awareness to the awesome romhacks out there like FFVI: T-Edition, Chrono Trigger+, FFIV: Ultima Plus, Secret of Mana+, etc. You can follow Sora via YouTube or Twitch.

    Mod sampler livestream brought to you by Sora. Full playthrough may be coming soon—check his streaming roadmap here.

    Update: the hack has been published on Romhack Plaza here courtesy of clymax.

    Says hack author HatZen08 on this respinner in a forum post on FF6Hacking here:

    It is a built-in randomizer. After the name setup, all characters will be randomized. Each different name should create a different setup. You can’t change their jobs or abilities.

    The ‘row’ and ‘def’ commands were changed to ‘fray’ and ‘heal’. ‘fray’ will attack a random enemy with a fight command and ‘heal’ will recover[] half of the caster hp. It is designed to be a basic attack/healing if nothing better is available.

    The first command will be a random menu-alike ability, like white, black, throw, sing, drink, etc. The other three comands will be abilities without menu, like dance, gaia, flirt, guard, etc.

    The weapons and gears that the characters can equip were randomized as well.

    The jobs were updated and have old, new or updated traits. Those traits can change the behaviour of the ‘fray’ and ‘heal’ commands and add unique quirks to the characters.

    Regarding a recent update, version 1.1, HatZen08 adds:

    I updated the project. In summary, the changes were new/updated abilities and new counter traits. Instead of counter only with the ‘fight’ command, others commands can be used as counters instead of only ‘fight’.

    For balance and to add the new counters i changed the traits by job.

    The hack incorporates the GBA Script Port addendum to the RPGe translation.

    Additional documentation is slated to be provided on the release of the hack.

    Update: the documentation and even assembly source are now included, available on FF6Hacking here.
