Has anyone here tried this hack? It was made for the Japanese ROM, but someone's come along and translated it.
What it does is it comes with a savefile that places you in front of where the Ronkan Ruins were and when you step on the desert patch there, you get taken to a new map, where NPC's will take you back to Level 1 and reset all of your abilities (which you need to do to get into the cave) it works in a basic Roguelike system. To mimic the food issue in most Roguelikes, you have a time limit for (most) floors. Chests are Completely random and can contain Items/Weapons/Armor/Accessories/Jobs/ and Spells. Each floor is a random map (not randomly generated, mind you) with what seems at least 50-60 rooms (maybe less, maybe more) that it will go through.
I was thinking that we could look at the moving parts of this, see how they did all of this and to see if it can be put towards another use or an improvement on their original work.
We have EVEN MORE themes now, but some old ones are gone...
