Final Fantasy Hacktics

this is awesome! How were you able to make the Skillsets a support ability??? I am looking to try to do the same thing but with replacing Catch with Items. is that possible?
I'm sorry for the noob questions. Would this be considered an ASM hack? I would love to be able to get this good. Do you by chance have the ASM's for Dualcasting and "skillset" Support abilities?

Hi all,

Is it possible to change a support ability to a skillset? Very similar to how the Dualcast Red Mage mod works but rather than 2 skills, just one. I would like to get rid of Catch (since I literally removed any reason for this ability) but Defend (stupid ability but usable still)  might be easier since it already has a menu action and skillset associated with it.  Im actually looking to get rid of the Chemist class but would still like to use items basically for free without having to learn the Item abilities if that makes sense.

Or even better, being able to replace Catch with Celdia's Dualcasting and Defend with Items.

Maybe one ASM that allows you to pick what Support ability you want to replace with Dualcasting (choose from one drop down) and another that lets you pick what ability you want to replace with what skillset (choose from two drop downs).

If it makes any difference, I am using the Lion War + QoL mod as a base.

So I used Emmy's Generic Skillset Fix and Glaine's Defend and Equip Change treated as default Skillset, which got me close to where I want to be. I kinda wanted to get rid of Defend anyways since I never use it after the second battle in the game basically. But I think I need to change Glaine's ASM from "Default" skillset to read "Item Inventory" for it to work as the Item skill.
anybody have any advice on how to change that or if I'm even on the right path with this lol? I'm assuming I need to pull the xml and change a line or two of text. Below is the Patch code for Glaine's ASM. Literally this is so foreign to me lol.

    <Patch name="Defend and Equip Change treated as Default skillset">
        <Description>
            This patch should be applied along with Skillset Menu Hardcoding Fix if changing Defend and Equip Change into Default skillsets in FFTPatcher.
            AI doesn't use abilities in Defend or Equip Change skillsets.

The simple route would just be Balbanes Jr lol or the second or something. I think it would kinda makes sense. Being Dycedarg's older brother, he would be the oldest Beoulve and i believe it was common even back in like Victorian era to name your oldest son after yourself. Im no historian though so dont quote me. Im just thinking of people like King Henry IV or whatever.

However, i do like Mysfits thoughts. Very good name suggestions.


Dang just seeing how old this post is after writing my thoughts already.....

Hi all,

Has anybody done a mod that focuses on Delita's story? Kind of like Riku's story in Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of memories.
I know we basically know his story already but it would be cool if we could play as him and maybe see more of the events that could transpire around his side of the story.
Im a noob on the modding scene but i would think that the hardest things would be created new event scenes... and the script writing portion itself lol. I would imagine you would just need to swap delita and Ramaza's sprites, the arc witch I believe is already coded as a party member that can join so i feel like that would be easier than most things.

And maybe have "Dycedarg's older brother" have some sort of appearance. Like he was imprisoned previously for something that Delita actually thinks is noble and Delita secretly releases him having him join the team in the shadows. And thats why we never saw him in the game. Idk thought it was a good idea lol.

Has anyone seen this type of mod before? If someone that is good with modding wants to take the reigns on this, i would be happy to help in any way i can (story writing, class reworking, easy simpleton things).

Im a super cheater. I used a program called FFTastic to just put my people at level 99 with decent stats, nothing too OP, and also had all jobs set to level 8 with max JP and max equipment. I just wanted to enjoy the story without my OCD getting in the way for a change lol.

Hi all,

I Just found this community and got really enthused to create my own mod of FFT for the PSX version. I'm using the Lions War and QoL mods as a base. Im trying to have the Item ability be a support ability rather than having chemist a class on its own and then change that class to something else entirely (thinking Acolyte with basic spells from the other later classes).

So this is similar to the Doublecast Red Mage hack... pretty much identical except different skillset. I pulled up orgASM and FFTPatcher but couldn't figure out how this was done.

I'm a super noob with this. please talk to me like a child and provide pictures if you can, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to anyone that replies! I'm excited to share my patch with this community in the future!
