  • Dev Anniversary: solidification

    We at FFV Central celebrate the week of the first anniversary (July 31) of our moderator solidification as an achievement developer.

    solidification’s journey has yielded achievements for virtually all eligible hacks of Final Fantasy VI, among other games.

    Showing no signs of slowing down despite the memory woes that FFVI is notorious for, solidification is now eyeing coding achievements for hacks of Final Fantasy IV.

    FFIV narrowly edged out FFV in a community poll recently held in the Discord.

    To follow solidification’s development journey, check out his developed-sets page here.

    Writes Neo after livestreaming a complete playthrough of the Whirlwind mod as part of the Whirlwind Four-Job Fiesta (FJF) event (VOD here):

    Hi there! In this video I describe my experience with a Final Fantasy V speed running event! I’m not a speed runner but I had a really good time. This speed running event was special as it used a modified version of Final Fantasy V called Whirlwind with many crazy changes to the game.

    The video review is below, so check it out!

    So, what do you think? Agree with Neo’s assessment of Whirlwind? Comment below, or hit us up on Discord.
