Some of the data suggests the following...

0x31: Suggests there was intended to be an Ice Whip
0x24 and 0x25: Suggests that was intended to be the Fire/Ice equipment protection (but since we know of the equipment properly, that starts to be a terrible idea).
0x27: Grouped major status protection, probably for the Rubyring
0x32: Paired protection of Sleep+Paralysis, maybe intended for Edge's Ninja Hat
0x38: Crystal Armor v2?

The rest look to be the simple stuff for testing.

Yeah, I really wasn't sure where most of those would go (My guess is the ice whip got replaced by either the chain whip or dragon whip), but the darkness + darkness is pretty obvious.

Well, let me do this first.. create a patch for restoring FF2's weapon magic.

Then a separate patch for "what was probably intended", and make that a "game enhancement" hack.

I'm curious how Rydia would fair with an ice whip in the Tower of Bab-il now, actually. Maybe give that property to the normal whip (it's up to you if you want to do that, of course) for your enhancement.

I hate writing readmes, but here's the patch for just the weapons of FF2US.

Here's a simple patch for the missing features...

I did a GBA one for curiousity... but there will be a followup Euro version. No readme for now because I'm tired.

Screenshots!

Wished this existed before FF5:


Power up!


Ooooh, pretty colors!


Shiny shiny!


Doubtful that'll help...

In testing the spells to be put on a weapon... no monster spell could be used at all...

Ok, now I have a more complete set for both FF4A versions (no Japanese versions for now)..

Fixed a silly targeting error...

I've been thinking about this for a bit. I'm thinking of simply doing a seperate patch altogether for weapon-data changes (SNES versions only) in order to produce a "rebalancing" hack that makes more sense for this game.

With what I've already posted, now it has a readme to go with them all...

I should really just start another thread on the proposed changes in a more comprehensive FF4 rebalancing hack.

Submitted to RHDN...

Anyways, there is something to discuss further... a more comprehensive rebalancing/making use of the other unused bits...
