Features of Stable Build

  • Chest loot is fully randomized.
  • Designed based on the open-world mode of the cousin hack, FFV: Whirlwind.
  • v0.1a includes a chest bugfix.  Thanks to rpgman1 for the report.

Patching Instructions

  • Recommended for use with Chaos Rush’s improvement of Demiforce’s fan translation.
  • The Japanese version should also be compatible with this mod.  Report any issues, and we’ll support the Japanese version albeit at a lower priority than the English version.

Preview of Dev Build

  • Random encounters will no longer occur unless you have the B button held down while walking.
  • Movement speed doubled in overworld, towns, and dungeons.
  • Saving available even in towns and dungeons.
  • Call your airship anywhere using the A button.  Works from the beginning of the game.

  • Gil is now boosted to 10x.
  • Airship always moves at double speed regardless of item collection and regardless of toggling the B button.

Aside of the english translation, I like the game as it is when it came out, these upgrades can be done using game genie/par codes
