Final Fantasy V Research & Development / Re: FFV Official Guidebook (Final Fantasy V Perfect Conquest)

Sounds to me like they originally intended flails to be equippable by Berserkers like the Vikings in FF3. FF5 is in many ways based off FF3 so this comes as no surprise to me. White Mages in FF3 cannot wield them, however.

I've been having problems accessing this site for more than a week now. It just wouldn't load. Is it just me?

I know I've said this before, but how about making the Viewer into an Editor?

There's an Ancient Cave hack for Final Fantasy IV.

Did you mean Final Fantasy V?

Can someone make an English Translation of it in terms of text translation?

That's been around for a long time.

You can also use a hex editor like Windhex and load a table file that translates the code into text. Table files can be found in the wiki.

I did a full playthrough of FF5 Ancient Cave with the patch applied - no issues whatsoever.

No, I meant in the ASM code.

Why can't you just change the values in the code? Should be simple hex editing.

It's a simple one byte hex edit, but I'm not familiar with the coding of fractional M so I can't tell you where it is. noisecross would know.

Not really ... we had that discussion like a year ago.

Not sure what you are referring to. We did have a heated discussion on the knife formula used by standard fractional M.

For new games, you have to edit the "Initial data" as well.

Freelancer and Mimic calculate their stats differently, they inherit stats from mastered jobs. Maybe that is what you've overlooked?

From what I've seen, the biggest exploit in FF5 speedruns is the ability to change the levels of bosses. By using Darkshock/L2 Old, you can bring their level down to a point where they are vulnerable to level 5 Doom.

One way to prevent this, is to make L5 Doom, L4 Quarter, L3 Flare and L2 Old use the original, unchanged level value during hit determination. I don't know if there is a variable for that, but you could take a look at Hero song, since apparently it does not affect vulnerability to those spells.

I kinda thought it's not important enough for the wiki,

I don't see why not, since it fixes some bugs.

Thanks for your contribution. Will you consider adding it to the wiki? It is more convenient for everybody to have everything listed in a central location.
