Features of Stable Build

• Chest loot is fully randomized.
• This release completes the FF hexalogy of the Whirlwind family of mods.

Patching Instructions

• Recommended for use with the fan translation by J2e.
• Base rom is FF4j, not FF2us.  The first revision should be used.
• IMPORTANT!  If you run into issues patching, try shortening the filename of the patch and/or of the patched rom.
• 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

• Designed based on the open-world mode of the cousin hack, FFV: Whirlwind.
• You now start with the Enterprise and the Lunar Whale (WIP).
• An Emergency Exit has been added as a starting item, and it can be used anywhere.  A wrong warp when using it when you gain control of Cecil has been fixed.
• Movement speed has been doubled in overworlds, towns, and dungeons.
• Random encounters have been disabled unless you walk around while holding the B button.
• You can now save in towns and dungeons.
• Experience is boosted to 16x.
• Gil is boosted to 16x.
• Support for seeding is being investigated, one issue being that there’s no way to rename characters.
• Update: Cecil can now be renamed.
• Support for set (manual) seeding has been added.  Auto (random) seeding not yet supported.
• Chest rando can now be toggled via a config setting.
• The opening cutscene is now shortened.  The intro battles are now skipped.
