Leviathan Map Fix


I am now working on what is imo the worst offender on the Reach The Future bug list: the Leviathan Boss Fight new map incorrect textures.

It's supposed to look like pic 1 and does about 80% of the time... The other 20%...




(Thanks to Oronjoker for the second picture! Check out his channel on Twitch)

Revert New Poison / Regen


In Reach The Future (unlike regular FFT) the effects of Poison and Regen are reversed while Undead. While this was a cool idea, the AI is completely unaware of this change :( It would be difficult to make the AI react properly so this mechanic will be removed from future versions.

Lots of work is being done on understanding the AI of this game now and in the future! So there is hope this mechanic could come back again one day.

Blood Suck is Tinker


In vanilla Final Fantasy Tactics, Blood Suck doesn't come up in battle often. I wanted to give the player the option to try to use it (because I love shenanigans) in Reach the Future, so Vidalia Knights got the Spreading Plague ability... But it doesn't work as intended.



In the games data there is a skillset for "Blood Suck" and I thought I could put any ability in there and the AI would use it. Wrong! Blood Suck'd units will always use ability 00C8, which in Reach the Future is Tinker



Easy enough to fix (and the easiest way was to shift Blood Suck back to its original slot and move Tinker elsewhere)!

New updates incoming! I've been posting bug fixes and updates I've been doing to prep for releasing v1.1 on Discord and Twitter and neglecting the forum, so I have a few to dump all at once.

Here is the first Naked Soldier in Serensward Random Battle




If you travel from Serenham to Serensward triggering a random battle, you might have noticed something a little off about an AI allied unit... She's completely naked!
Let's get her some items.

I will one day include full readme's with information on all skills, abilities, jobs, items, etc.

For now, enjoy the one piece of official documentation I have actually created, the RTF Job Tree ( / more like a requirements board)

They will generally say what they do, and most generate an XML file that you can apply to the game with the FFTOrgASM program.

PSP editing is also supported!

Hey! Welcome to modding, I would recommend grabbing some of the basic tools (mostly the FFTPatcher Suite to start which you can find here https://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Tools#FFTPatcher_Suite ) and just mess around with them to start! If you have any questions and want them answered more quickly, try joining the FFH discord and asking around there, or posting more here as well.

If you can access the internet with the device there are some online options, check this one out for example! https://www.marcrobledo.com/RomPatcher.js/

There is not one currently, but I can give you a hint!

Allies can hit each other with Learn on Hit skills to learn them!

Is your memory card full? I haven't encountered this but that's what it sounds like. Try removing some save games or getting a fresh memory card file!

Quote from: Sev7N on August 21, 2023, 06:40:08 pmHi, I have a doubt, I just finished playing the current version, and I saved right before the last battle (I wish I did not do that D: ), can I play from the point I just saved on future versions, like when chapter 2 comes out?

PS: try adding a "continue playing" feature just like "The Lion War of the Lions", a way to return us to the last place before the final events, it would help a lot should anyone find themselves in the same situation as I do.

Thanks for your attention

Hey! The game specifically tells you to save in a separate slot before the final save appears to try and help people avoid this, but I'm sorry if your save file is stuck! If you have a save that is at the Border Gate you can go into the Minigames section and manually activate the Time Warp to go back though.

Continuing from Chapter 2 depends on whether or not I change anything in Chapter 1 (kind of behind the scenes, gameflow logic-wise) when Chapter 2 releases. I can't make any guarantees sadly.

At the 4th....time reset i believe, but on the 3rd, i completed every single area, and was only on the 17th, which enabled me to hit every open spot. But....ya did another reset. ((But it had some slightly new text))

How do we know we completed chapter 1? i guess would be the question.

When you complete chapter 1 fully, you will know

This is sick as hell!! I'd love to hear more about this set up, super cool

Unfortunately I am not well equipped to help with Emulator troubleshooting! I hope someone else can help you out

This is awesome! Gives big Metal Gear Solid vibes, like it would be fun to sneak around in.

You have clearly put a lot of thought (and work) into this mod, the sheer amount of new abilities and completely new story make this like a whole separate title. Only the basic battle mechanics and graphics remain from FFT. FYI the play-through has been super smooth so far. Thank you for your efforts, we are looking forward to Chapter 2 !

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a lot of work for sure, but totally worth it! FFT provided me with the best bones I could've asked for for making a project like this.

I saw in the download topic that you changed some settings that fixed this, mind listing what you changed in case other people have the same issue?

I was able to trigger the series of events leading to the attack on

the Kingdom, with Celia in my party, despite having never saved her that loop

Dynamic Punch is 1 range and 0 damage

I believe these were all fixed in 1.06? But I will double check.
Dynamic Punch, although it does not say so (how did I miss literally half the ability descriptions and the other half have mistakes) is TarMaxHP - TarCurHP in damage (so it deals whatever HP they are missing in damage). So it would appear to do 0 on a target with full HP!

There will eventually be a 1.1 update where I hit on all the text I missed (and spelling mistakes and the like).
