New Project Ideas / Pokemon by way of FFT?
April 24, 2016, 05:27:53 pm
Hey just had a really loose idea here, but what if you had a pokemon/mtg style game using the fft format?  The objective could be to eliminate the enemy trainer / protect your own.  All "pokemon" would be given an innate status of "stop/immortal/invisible" that could only be relieved by the trainer.  The trainer would not be able to inflict damage on enemies, only cast spells that would mirror sending out a pokemon.  The trainer would have a limited mana (say 3), and it would cost 1 to send out pokemon, and absorb 1 when bringing back.  They could also casts buffs maybe.  It wouldn't necessarily have to use monsters from pokemon, it could use existing fft monsters.  Haven't played pokemon much, just seems like a cool idea.

The Lounge / pSX 1.13 issue with sound
November 21, 2015, 07:12:38 pm
I'm using pSX 1.13 and wondering how you toggle mute on and off?

Hey I just wanted to see what everyone else thought about this... Throughout the course of FFT, I don't believe I ever hear Delita say anything about the stones or Lucavi, and I don't think that Ramza ever tells him anything about it.  Did he not know or was he trying to conceal the truth?  I got the impression that he just believed that the Templar were collecting the stones as a symbol of the Church's strength and renew people's faith.

Orlan never says anything either, but Orlandu eludes to the stones powers... But he never mentions the Lucavi either I don't think.

PSX FFT Hacking / Charge skill with targeting?
October 06, 2014, 07:40:11 pm
Does anyone know if there's a way to make the archer's charge skill be able to track units as long as the unit stays within range of the weapon?

The Lounge / The fate of Prince Orinas?
December 12, 2013, 03:33:33 pm
Is it ever mentioned at the end of the game what happens to Prince Orinas? Or Queen Ruvelia for that matter?  I mean, technically, the Prince is still suppose to have first claim to the throne.  Of course, that doesn't matter if there is no one left to back his claim.  I would suppose when Queen Ovelia and King Delita took the throne, Orinas would be to much of a liability to just allow him to stick around; they would either have to kill him or lock him up in Bethla for treason.  Maybe whoever was left who supported Orinas helped him flee Ivalice?

PSX FFT Hacking / Hamedo Fix Request
November 07, 2013, 08:21:41 pm
I was wondering if it was possible to hack 'hamedo' so the defending unit still strikes the attacking unit first, but doesn't negate their attack?

Spam / Blackgaurd on Steam
November 07, 2013, 01:04:23 am
Hey this is a new indie game I saw got released on Steam, called Blackgaurds http://store.steampowered.com/app/249650/.  From the look of it, the gamestyle seems similar to FFT... Just wondering if anyone here had tried it out yet.  Is it any good?

Edit: I guess this is just a beta release.

I had a question on what everybody thought about this... In the story, when Vormav meets Barinten in Riovanes castle, Barinten calls out Izlude and Malak. Then Barinten tells Vormav that he has taken Taurus and Scorpio.  Then Vormav calls Izlude a fool and slaps him.

Now this must be a typo, correct?  For one thing, Barinten can't be holding Taurus and Scorpio: Ramza got Taurus from Mustadio and Scorpio from killing Quecklain, and to my knowledge, never lost them to the Temple Knights.  Barinten could have been bluffing to get a rise from Vormav, but Vormav obviously felt that it was Izlude's fault.  Vormav may have thought this were the case, if he knew Ramza had those stones and assumed Izlude had taken them back in Orbonne Monastery.  But Wiegraf had been possessed and returned to Vormav, and knew everything that had happened in Orbonne, so Vormav shouldn't have been confused about that. 

My guess was that Barinten was meant to say he had Virgo.  This would make sense, because Izlude was carrying Pisces and Virgo from Orbonne when he was ambushed by Malak.  He only had Pisces when he died, so it would hold that Malak had taken Virgo.  But then how did Vormav have Virgo when he found Alma?  Barinten had already escaped to the roof where he was killed by Elmdor.  I guess he had left the stone somewhere in the castle and Vormav had found it. 

One last question: Then what stone is Malak holding when the Barinten kills him?  After they fight Elmdor, Rafa revives him with it.  But which one?

Help! / Abilities that spend CT?
December 05, 2012, 02:10:31 pm
I was wondering if it would be possible for unit to have a negative value for CT... If abilities could be made to set back a unit CT so it took longer for their next turn to come around.  Would it require a bunch of ASM?

Help! / Fix for screen freezing when running ePSXe
December 02, 2012, 11:12:13 pm
Hey I've been having trouble with my ePSXe.  I've been trying to play hacks on it lately... It used to work just fine but now all of a sudden its always freezing at the squaresoft screen.  I tried my Tactics Ogre iso and it freezes on the opening load screen.

Any help or suggestions?

Alright, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and I've done very little FFT hacking.  Thought I'd try my hand at it, but I've got some questions...

1.  What properties do the elements in FFT Vanilla have?  I thought the element wheel functioned kind of like this:
Fire -> Ice -> Wind -> Earth -> Thunder -> Water -> Fire
Something like that? What damage multipliers are used in resistance/strengths?

2.  Is there any way to change the properties of the elements or remove elements?

3.  I guess I should probably tell you what after.  I want to make a class called a golemancer to replace geomancer.  Essentially, a golemancer would have an ability called soul-shift, which would cast element-like status effects on units: for example, "fire shift" would make them weak against water attacks, resistant against ice attacks, boost their fire attacks, maybe make there weapon attack carry the element, etc.  Is anything like this possible?

I think this could make elements a lot more relevant in gameplay, as well as make the strengths and weaknesses of characters more dynamic during a match.  For example, if an enemy unit is about to use Infrit on one of yours, you could "fire shift" the unit to nullify the attack. Or if you were casting Infrit you could "fire shift" the caster or "water shift" the target to intensify the attack.

PS - Thanks in advance and sorry about the cut-off post earlier, I got interrupted.

Spam / This is incredible... FFT medley on piano
October 16, 2012, 02:26:17 pm
If you think that FFT's soundtrack was one of the most beautiful ever written, I think you'll agree with me on how awesome this is!

Hey everybody!

I'm excited to check this place out!  I've tried out a couple of hacks (insanely derpy, Celdia) and they're awesome!  After seeing how great they can turn out, I would really like trying out a few ideas I've had for the game... But I'm pretty much starting at ground zero here (I've done some programming in java, c++, but not much)... I'm sure I'm getting in wayy over my head, but any pointers on where to start?
