Here we go again. This is a registration thread for people willing to enter another Arena tournament. It has been a while since we had one, and I think it will be a good idea to see what is broken.
There WILL be a limit of 16 teams and will be double elimination. And I expect that all teams play to win. There is no way to enforce that rule though, so all I can do is ask not to submit any joke teams.
After that, PM me with a team before the 14/01/11. EDIT:14th of January for you Americans.
Extra Note: There is still a limit of 2 for each item/ability

How do I stop this error. I know Zodiac fixed it for the Knights and a few others, but I have no idea how to do it myself. This bug is also happening to birds.
For the past day or two, a few people have debated about certain base mechanics that we adopted from the 1.3 AI tourneys. I just want to see what you guys want, since you guys will be the ones entering teams after all. Please add comments in.
Question 1 Should we change the minimum Fury/Faith? [] - Yes (if yes, what to?) [] - No
Comments:
Question 2 What should be done to absorb/weak? [] - Go back to base mechanics from vanilla [] - Make it always neutral absorb(absorb, weak, and half element all in one) [] - Keep as is(Absorb and Half)
Comments:
Question 3 Should the JP limit be removed altogether? [] - Yes [] - No
Comments:
Question 4 Should the limits on skills be removed(the max 2 limit)? [] - Yes [] - No
Comments:
Question 5 Should the limits on items be removed(the max 2 limit)? [] - Yes [] - No
Comments:
Question 6 Should items be completely remade? [] - Yes [] - No
Season 4, like Season 3, was designed from the start to be Single Elimination. It was announced as Single Elimination from the very beginning. Can't just change it halfway along.
Meaning if you lose once in S4, you are out, and you no longer have a chance to be the winner of S4.
Philsov and Otabo will be doing "Netherworld" or "Loser's Bracket" matches, and they will also be hosted on http://www.youtube.com/FinalFantasyHacktics, the same channel we are using for Kokojo's S4 videos.
However, please keep in mind that EVERY participant in the Loser's Bracket is ALREADY OUT OF S4 and will not be facing the finalist.
Also, if you're doing Loser's Bracket videos, PLEASE wait until S4 is over before uploading. S4 (Kokojo's videos alone) will easily be over 150 videos long, if we start uploading Netherworld in between Kokojo's videos, it will flood the channel and confuse a lot of people.

Note : The monster abilities are not yet listed, due to me lacking a certain program. Moreso, tier 3 monster stats are not calculated yet and will be in a short delay (3-4 days). Please be patient.
A player needs to win two rounds to proceed to the next match. The first round will take place on a medium sized map. The second round will take place on a large sized map. If there is a draw, the third round will take place on a small sized map.
Maps will randomly happen during nighttime and/or a thunderstorm/snowstorm.
VERY IMPORTANT: Based on map placement: • Unit #1 will be on highest panel and Unit #4 will stand on lowest panel IF the panels heights are about the same: • Unit #1 will be the nearest unit to access a high leveled area. IF there is no high leveled area: • Unit #1 will be in front of the others. Note that I used constantly "Unit #1". But in fact if we'd have 4 units on different heights, for example #1 would be placed on height 7, #2 on height 5, #3 on height 4, and #4 on height 2.
If you wish to change your team order before the tournament, just PM FFmaster your new order, like: 3 1 2 4 or whatever. It's very simple and quick to change the team order so don't hesitate.
Rules
1) Teams. Team will consist of 4 generic humans or monsters, level 35, leveled in their assigned class. UNITS WILL BE CONTROLLED BY THE GAME'S FULL AI. There is no longer distinction between ally and enemy sides, and you cannot specify a specific AI routine for your units. 1a) As for monsters :: max 2 per family, max 1 per species. Pigs and Hyrdras are banned. For example : Goblin + Black Goblin is ok Goblin + Black Goblin + Chocobo is ok. Black Goblin + Black Goblin is not ok 2 Black Goblins plus Goblin is not ok.
2) Brave and Faith. Brave ranging from 40 to 70, MAXIMUM brave on the team must be 240. Faith ranging from 40 to 70, MINIMUM faith on the team must be 220.
3) JP. Each generic human unit has 3400 JP to spend in various abilities. As in FFT, each unit cannot spend points toward an ability before filling Job level requirements for the prerequisite jobs. For example, a character could not buy Head Break without allocating 350 JP to Squire (to make knight accessible). The 350 JP spent to unlock Knight can be used to purchase Squire abilities. Units are not required to spend the entire 3400. 3a) Elemental can be wholly purchased for 600 JP. 3b) Mime is banned due to JP limitations.
4) Skills. Only two units on a team can buy any individual ability. So four units could have the Punch Art ability set but only two could have purchased Earth Slash. Innates do not count for that, so you can have two chemists and a Knight with Throw Item. 4a) Only 1 Ninja per team. 4b) Only 1 Samurai per team. 4c) Only 1 use of Offensive Draw Out as an offensive skill set per team. 4d) Some abilities are banned due to JP limitations or balance reasons. See charts below.
5) Equipment. Limited to all purchasable items including Defender. Thief Hat and Bracer are banned. Complete list is here: http://project-yvalice.wikispaces.com/Tact_Equip_Check Just like abilities, there is a cap of 2 per any piece of equipment. 1.3 Item Stats: viewtopic.php?t=1671 5a) Usable Item/Throw/Draw Out goodies will be 99 in quantity.
6) Elimination. Best two out of three advances into the next round. Initial bracket placement will be randomized. Map will be randomly selected from a large pool of maps.
To submit your team, you need to PM him your team with the right format just like described in the guidelines. If he refuses your team, he will tell you what to fix and if you fail to correct it before the tournament starts, you will be disqualified. This may be, and not limited to: too high total brave, too low total faith, more than twice the same item/skills, breaking the 3400JP cap, etc.
FFT v1.3 (13030) Team submitting guidelines
First you have to specify your primary and alternate palettes. You can choose between 0 and 7. (Thanks, spriters!) #0 Black #1 Blue #2 Red #3 Green #4 White #5 Purple #6 Yellow #7 Brown
Then you must respect the following format:
Quote from: "format"
Unit Name Sex Zodiac Brave Faith Job Secondary Reaction Support Movement Right Hand Left Hand Head Body Accessory
Cirno Female Sagittarius 60 70 Wizard Item Counter Magic Magic Attack Up Float Wizard Rod
Flash Hat Black Robe Sprint Shoes
Ice, Ice 2, Ice 3, Frog X-Potion, Ether, Remedy
A few notes Name: A maximum of 16 characters. ONLY write the name. I don't care about game references or whatever, just don't write them. Sex: Male, Female or Monster Zodiac Sign: No serpentarius; sorry Job: Don't forget to specify the "Monster" sex if it is a monster Skills/Items: Never write "---", "empty" or anything else of the sort. Just leave the field blank.
By the way, everything is case insensitive. Don't feel forced to type capital letters except maybe for the unit's name.
***VERY IMPORTANT: You have to use 1.3's spelling. Respect the spelling the best you can. I have provided the 13030 tourney text lists below but here are the most common mistakes: • Common mistake > Right spelling • Move HP UP > Move-HP UP • Move +2 > Move+2 • Kikuichimoji > Kikuichimonji • Crystal Helm > Crystal Helmet • Carbini Mail > Carabini Mail • H-Bag > H Bag
I also changed those 3 on purpose: • Magic AttackUP > Magic Attack UP • AttackUP > Attack UP • Move underwter > Move underwater

Concerning listing action abilities: - Spelling is not important - The skills order (as they appear in the skillset) is not important either - Avoid writing JP costs. They just take space. - DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT write Reaction/Support/Movement abilities here. - I don't care about your Total JP used either; my spreadsheet calculates better than you ever will. - You can just write "All Geomancy" or "Cure 1/2/3" if you want; that will actually be easier to read.
I am copy/pasting this into my spreadsheet so here is an example of an entrt that I will not accept:
Name: Mr. D’arrrcy Zodiac: Male Capricorn Brave: 70 Faith: 55 Job: Archer Primary Abilities Learned: none Secondary: Jump Secondary Abilities Learned: Level 5, Vert 8 Reaction: Speed Save Support: Equip Spear Movement: Move +2 Total jp used: 3250
I have the right to refuse teams that have too much typos, do not respect the format or have too much brave/too low faith or breaking the JP cap. If I do I will send you a PM to give you a chance of fixing it.
This is a perfectly respected format:
Palette: 4 Alternate: 0
Paul Male Sagittarius 70 55 ninja item speed save equip armor move+2 Air Knife Air Knife Crystal Helmet Carabini Mail 108 Gems
Shuriken, Sword X-Potion, Phoenix down
Ike Male Leo 60 55 Samurai Item HP Restore Equip Sword Move+2 Rune Blade
Circlet Carabini Mail Magic Ring
Kotetsu, Murasame Phoenix Down
Nelson Male Sagittarius 70 55 Monk Basic Skill Counter Attack UP Move+1
The plan is to have all items with Absorb: Element to also have Half: Element. What this does basically is halves all absorb. To get 100% healing from that element, you would need to be Weak: Element, from other items or Band of Elements or whatever. This removes Weak + Absorb completely.
If there is any reason why you don't like this, please post reasons why.
This is more to nerf Salty Rage than anything else. Just choose what you want to happen to Berserk. You can choose more than 1 option. I think all these are possible.
EDIT: Don't be a retard and vote options 3 and 4 at the same time, or something similar.

"A group of central Ontario parents is demanding their children's schools turn off wireless internet before they head back to school next month, fearing the technology is making the kids sick.
Some parents in the Barrie, Ont., area say their children are showing a host of symptoms, ranging from headaches to dizziness and nausea and even racing heart rates.
They believe the Wi-Fi setup in their kids' elementary schools may be the problem."

Thank you Zodiac for a great tutorial! This is just to show how good your tutorial is! And it only took less than 2 hours to learn and tinker to edit my own formula! Use these things at your own risk! I am still a noob at this. All these hacks are for BATTLE.BIN except for the sound test hack and the Brave/Faith hacks! They have been labelled for you!
XX and YY are constants and can be changed. 18 is bolded because it can be changed. It load's the stat you want. For example, if you wanted it to be WP*Speed*3, then you change 18 to 38, change XX to 03 and YY to 01. Tinker as you wish. http://www.ffhacktics.com/wiki/Formula_Hacking
OTHER HACKS
0x126358 change 42 to 82
0x11F3DC change 08 to XX 40 - Crystal 20 - Dead 10 - Undead 08 - Charging 04 - Jump 02 - Defending 01 - Performing
This is an extension to Razele's performing damage bonus hack. For example, if you made XX 18, units with Undead or Charging would both gain 50% damage bonus. However, A unit with both Undead and Charging would still only receive 50% bonus damage. IT DOES NOT STACK.
0x11E444 change 09 to XX 40 - Crystal 20 - Dead 10 - Undead 08 - Charging 04 - Jump 02 - Defending 01 - Performing
This is an extension to Razele's performing evasion hack. For example, if you made XX 03, units with either defending or performing would lose all evasion.
XX = percentage decrease. For example, making XX = 32 will mean a 50% decrease in accuracy while the unit is blinded.
0x126144 XX000324 0x126398 XX000524 Example: Setting XX to 10 will mean 16% chance for reactions to activate.
The empty space just below Non-Charge increases damage/healing done by the unit by XX%. The one after that decreases all damage/healing done to the unit by ZZ%.
0x11F580 ba600508 00000000
0xF12E8 64000324 1980043c 942d848c 92008490 02008430 02000410 00000000 XX006324 1980043c 982d848c 92008490 01008430 02000410 00000000 YYff6324 12200000 18006400 12180000 64000424 1a006400 1980033c 902d638c 62190608 00000000 XX = % damage/healing increase. Setting XX = 14 will mean a 20% damage/healing increase. YY = (0x100 - 0xZZ[hex subtraction!]) : This is the damage/healing decrease %. Setting it to EC will mean a 20% damage/healing decrease. Please be careful with the subtraction.
If you use the weapon guard innate hack, this means the unit can use weapon guard from the back and sides! 0x11E6F4 d9600508 00000000
# 0x40 = HP Restore # 0x20 = MP Restore # 0x10 = Critical Quick # 0x08 = Meatbone Slash XX can be changed. This one is a bit trickier. You want to add the ones you only want activated while critical. For example, if you only want MP Restore and Critical Quick to activate without being in critical status, then XX = 48, since HP Restore and Meatbone Slash are the ones you don't want activating. If you have problems, ask on IRC.
I better explain this one. Say for example, in FFTPatcher, you have a spell with CT = 3. Normally, Short Charge will halve it, and round up, meaning that the spell is now CT = 2. With this small hex edit, Short Charge will now round down, so the spell is now CT = 1(cast as soon as everyone who has 100 speed has had a turn). As a special case, a spell with original CT = 1 + Short Charge + this hack will be effectively a spell with Non-Charge, since the CT is now 0. So if you really want to use this, remember this special case.
0x11CCDC change 14 to XX
0x11CCE8 change 14 to YY
XX = bonus CT for not moving YY = bonus CT for not acting
This sets all Katana to XX% break when a Draw Out is used. 00 for 0% break chance, 64 for 100% break chance. A lot of people have been waiting for this one =p NOTE: If you set a formula other than the Draw Out ones, the Katana will still break at 100% chance!
This hack reduces ALL ability CT by XX/YY, rounded down. If the CT of an ability is lower than XX/YY, it will be forced to be 1CT. Abilities with 0CT will not be affected. For example, I have a spell with 5 CT, XX = 38, YY = 09. If I have 18 speed and the divider is 9, the final CT of the spell is then 3. THIS HAPPENS BEFORE SHORT CHARGE. Does not affect Charge(Archer skillset), does affect skills with Persevere flagged(Sing/Dance).
XX = Elements not affected by Oil YY = Elements affected by Oil
TABLE 0x80 = Fire 0x40 = Lightning 0x20 = Ice 0x10 = Wind 0x08 = Earth 0x04 = Water 0x02 = Holy 0x01 = Dark
For example, if you want Oil to grant weakness to Fire/Holy/Dark, then XX = 73 and YY = 83
For those who want to mess with the effects more: First XX = Elements to ignore Absorb on target Second XX = Elements to ignore Null/Half on target First YY = Elements to grant Weak on target Second YY = Elements that will remove Oil
The combination of Null/Half: Elements was due to laziness.
The bolded numbers can be changed to fit any RSM. Check the wiki for which numbers correspond to which RSM. You can also set it to work with other things. Example: changing 92 to 06 and 80 to 20 will make Reis formula work with monsters only.
Honestly, I have no idea what I am doing. I wish the logs of LD's lessons helped me, but all they really did was give me links to programs. Is there any way I can find the offsets for Charging status, and be able to edit the bonus damage to whatever I wanted? Either that, or a link to other ASM tutorial guides would be helpful.
Zodiac gave an interesting idea. Instead of limiting everything to 2, limit everything to 1.
In other words, no 2 units can have the same ability or item. This is possible due to the job unlock system we are using, and the fact that a lot more items are viable. Personally, I am on the fence about this. On one hand, it forces the player to make unique units instead of copy/pasting (like my teams for example) but on the other hand, it feels too restrictive.
This is just a thread to discuss this change. Nothing will happen (yet) whether you agree or not.
