FFTA2 overhaul mod (v0.21)

There are a lot of things I like about FFTA2: the variety, the sheer amount of content, the plot - I kid, I kid - but there are a number of things that strike me as less than ideal that I'd like to remedy. These include:
  • The MP system punishes magick jobs and rewards physical ones
  • Some of the jobs are too unbalanced
  • Many of the jobs have a muddle of abilities, out of which you only need to use one or two; the rest are wasted
  • While I'm no fan of hardtype mods, I find this game is too easy, even on Hard mode

At a global level, here are the changes I made:
  • MP starts at max
  • No MP regen (MP Channeling does nothing)
  • All skills cost MP
  • Magick spells have a range of no less than 4
  • Debuff abilities' accuracy and damage vary by the severity and MP cost of the debuff
  • Ultima is mostly gone
  • Heavy armor-wearing jobs have 3 move
  • Rebalanced job stat growths to remove clear-cut winners and losers
  • Increased monster stat growths to roughly net out to characters stats + equipment and buff elemental resistances
  • Rebalanced equipment so that mages' weapons give higher magick, not attack (unless this turns out to be too broken; I don't know what the damage formulas are)
  • Equipment is more expensive than before
  • Playable characters have inherent elemental resistances and weaknesses
  • I don't know how to remove the halve MP clan privilege, but I tried te balance MP growths around not using it. All I can ask is scout's honor that you don't use the clan privilege

Outside of the global changes mentioned above, this is mostly a vanilla+ mod. I preferred to tweak, unless, in my opinion, a job or ability was untenable or undifferentiated enough. I nerfed some abilities and buffed others. I also did a lot more musical chairs - moving abilities one from job to another - than creating new jobs and abilities. There are physical jobs that specialize in every element (similar to the Raptor for wind). A changelog for jobs and abilities is below. If an ability isn't mentioned, it is unchanged. Nothing is final and I welcome your feedback.I'm looking for feedback on the following:
  • Is there anything that's broken or freezes the game (I'll *try* to fix these ASAP)
  • What jobs and abilities are OP to the point that you would never use anything else? On the flip side, what jobs and abilities are so bad that you'd never touch them (e.g. vanilla tinker)?
  • How is the balance on the stat growths? Are jobs that can OHKO, like the Assassin, fragile enough? Do mages have too much MP growth that it's too easy to take a physical character and spend a couple levels as a mage to get enough MP?
  • Where could the mod use additional polish (i.e. how apt are the skill animations)?

Humes: nothing
Viera: weak: fire; resist: ice
Bangaa: weak: ice; resist: fire and water
Nu Mou: weak: water; resist: holy and dark
Moogle: weak: earth; resist: lightning
Seeq: weak: wind; resist: earth
Gria: weak: lightning; resist: wind

Specific jobs may confer additional elemental resistances or weaknesses, like white mages will be resist holy and be weak to dark, so a Nu Mou white mage would be holy immune and dark weak. Note that I have yet to test this with equipment (what would it look like if a holy-weak job equipped a chameleon robe?), so this may not work in practice.

  • Space Mage - I wanted this job to manipulate ranges and AoEs. Would love to increase the AoE of Gravity and Repulse and have Repulse knock back several tiles
  • Alchemist - couldn't get this skill set working properly as abilities to learn
  • Idol - I wanted to focus this job around smash gauge mechanics, but couldn't figure out a way to manipulate them beyond what's in the ability editor (steal smash gauge)
  • Psychic - I wanted to make this job like the Psychic in FFX-2, but I don't think there's a way to manipulate elemental resistances
  • Green Mage - the skill set makes sense, but putting it on the vanilla Geomancer means by the time you unlock it you'll be up to the -ga spells so the others will be useless
  • Couldn't remove the half MP clan privilege
  • Not sure how to change the bazaar offerings - would like to remove the high-level equipment

This is doable in Hex Editing.

This is another one that is doable in Hex Editing and or using Lennart's editors.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 26, 2020, 04:07:17 pmDebuff abilities' accuracy and damage vary by the severity and MP cost of the debuff

The Accuracy for Debuffs is wonky at best since it uses the normal Debuff Accuracy modifier from the editor and the Unit's Resilience to lower the accuracy against them plus Holy Water also giving a Resilience Buff to even futher decrease the Debuff Accuracy against them, using the normal accuracy modifier makes Resilience completely useless as a job stat cause then it'll rely on the Unit's Evasion stat instead assuming you don't use "Perfect on hit".

Buffs and Debuffs can't be changed similar to the R- and P- skills.

Playable characters? Assuming you mean every unit has resistances and weaknesses which is doable, however they're based on whatever Job they have set.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 26, 2020, 04:07:17 pmHeavy armor-wearing jobs have 3 move

This is something i've been wanting to add into my Mod since i thought Heavy Armor jobs supposed to be slower, but i'm probably going to do something else instead of this being a Job Inherent thing.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 26, 2020, 04:07:17 pmNo MP regen (MP Channeling/Half MP clan privileges removed)

It's 100% possible to make MP Regen not happen with Hex Editing; however, for MP Channeling and Half MP privileges, i have yet to actually disable these from Hex Editing, it's Possible, but for someone like me that Hex edited a Mod and still is Hex Editing, it's a bit of a dilemma.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 26, 2020, 04:07:17 pmDisable Items for jobs other than the Alchemist (I'm hoping to let the Alchemist use items with range, and was hoping it would be eaiser to set the abilities with range and disable Items for everyone else so they can't use it with range)

Items is a Standard Ability Set, so it can't be disabled from all Jobs, Plus Items can have range use, but since they can only be changed in the editor, every unit has access to the range changes regardless of their job, so it can't be changed for just 1 job, it'd be cool though, but nope atm.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 26, 2020, 04:07:17 pmGive the Alchemist a list of actions similar to what Eternal's done for his Gourmand job under an A ability

Doable in Lennart's Editor, you just need the Weapon Hex to make the ability require a specific weapon.

Thanks for the responses! I have a few follow up questions for you, thanks again in advance:

  • How do I make the units start at max MP change in a hex editor?
  • If it's difficult to disable the MP channeling/regen clan privileges, is it possible to instead set MP regen to 0, or remove the clan trial?
  • How can I set MP regen to 0 (apart from the clan privilege - I think it's okay to ask players on this forum to avoid the clan privilege if it's too hard to implement)
  • How do I reassign how Mirror Items works?
  • How do I reassign abilities from one job to another? I was looking at Lennart's editor and for example, "Defend" has a race/index of hume/AD and bangaa/78, but then I looked at "Cover" and it has a race/index of hume/4E, so that index doesn't refer to the job. Should I use the FFta2TextEditor.jar that was included in the modding package?
  • How do I edit equipment for FFTA2? I tried opening the rom file with Nightmare 2 that was included in the hacking suite and it didn't seem to work.
  • How do I bind animations to abilities if I want to switch them up?

Quote from: rrs_kai on June 30, 2020, 01:36:19 pmMelee units with 3 move are not very useful

Can you help explain why this is the case? Heavy armor-wearing units are usually quite tanky, you can put them in the range of enemy melee units to draw fire and they get very strong beat sticks. Plus, even if their primary skill set doesn't have any ranged abilities you can usually give them ranged skills as a secondary (e.g. paladin/fighter, any bangaa melee/white monk). Since most mages have move 3, it's probably a matter of time before you can walk up to them and smash. The only potential weak spot would be against a ranged unit using light armor (4 move), assuming they can hit hard enough with physical weapons, or if there was a job that focused on weapon-range magick damage that you could put as a secondary skill set on a ranged physical unit. That could make for an interesting job.

Maybe there's a rock/paper/scissors to explore among heavy/light/magick armor, or tank/ranged/mage?

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 30, 2020, 11:12:39 pmHow do I make the units start at max MP change in a hex editor?

You can make Units start with Max MP by Hex Editing by looking for these Hexes:

Start with Max MP
BD180: B8 03 C4 E1
BD18C: 00 10 A0 E3
BEC44: BA 03 D5 E1

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 30, 2020, 11:12:39 pmIf it's difficult to disable the MP channeling/regen clan privileges

It's currently only Possible to make MP Channeling do nothing as a Clan Privilege by editing the Hex Index by looking for this:

MP Channeling bonus
00321E30

Change whatever you find in there to 00 to make the Clan Privilege do nothing, so pretty much if you have this active and a player tries to use MP Channeling, they'll essentially be playing a battle that's slightly harder with no clan buff.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 30, 2020, 11:12:39 pmis it possible to instead set MP regen to 0

MP gained per turn
00321DC0

If you're used to how Hex Editing is, you can edit the amount of MP gained per turn from 99 to 0.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 30, 2020, 11:12:39 pmHow do I reassign how Mirror Items works?

Pretty much reassign it to any Job like it's a normal ability; however, if you want to reassign it and edit the abilities from within Mirror Items, you'll need to be able to Hex Edit and or use DeSgeretjin's all in one Text, Command List, and Enemy Formation Editor, which btw is much easier to use if you don't know how to Hex Edit.

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 30, 2020, 11:12:39 pmHow do I reassign abilities from one job to another?

It's easier to use the Nightmare Module.... if it works properly...; however, if you know how to Hex Edit, you can Hex edit every single Equipment piece by looking up their Hex Indexes and change them manually which is a pain btw....

Quote from: chocolatemoose on June 30, 2020, 11:12:39 pmHow do I bind animations to abilities if I want to switch them up?

For this one, the only way that i know of right now is well you guessed it, Hex editing :) , You look through the Animation table from Lennart's Notes and find the Hex index of the Ability you want to Change up, Be warned though, changing the animation of a skill can also make units that aren't familiar with that animation in/from Vanilla FFTA2 can potential break the game or freeze.

Lennart's Table/notes of Hex Indexes and Such require Hex Editing knowledge, so it's a bit hard to understand at first, but once you get used to looking through Hexes and finding what changes what, it'll get easier over time, trust me once you know how to Hex Edit FFTA2, you can essentially know how to mod whatever you want to try out in the game.

Hex Editing is the way of life, but a painful life at that as well.

Bear with me because I'm really clueless when it comes to hex editing.

The first part of that line, the "BD180" - does that refer to the offset? And then the 4 hex codes after, "B8 03 C4 E1", does that imply that I should change the code I find starting at BD180 to those characters?

Similarly, for the MP channeling offset? 00321E30, when you say change it to 00 are you referring to the hex code that's found at that offset?

That is the offset number, by searching for it, you get the Hex index, you change the hex index from whatever number it is to 00.

Your argument is correct.

Here is my reasoning:
The AI generally targets units with lowest defense/resistance. If your heavy unit needs to draw fire, he needs to be the only one in range.
FFTA/A2 do not have any draw-attention or zone-of-control skills. So, defensive units are mostly the least preferred.

Order of preference 1. Offensive >>> 2. Heal/Support >>> 3. Defensive
Also, defense is half as good as attack because of the damage formula.

I like defensive units a lot. So much so, that I started a mod just to buff the defensive units to become viable. I named it FFTA:DE "Defender's Extend" because I liked the bangaa Defender; although the AI, smartly and sadly, almost never targets a defensive bangaa.

This is part of my reasoning behind lowering heavy armor equip jobs' move to 3 and making 4 the minimum range for spells. It should help keep mages at a distance while you march up your tanky characters. If tanks are the only ones in range, then the AI won't have a choice. The really "hard" fights are ones where the enemy targets all of your units, so a more defensive-oriented unit could be helpful.

I think my proposal for the Defender should give it more utility than before. Ideally Cover would apply to all units within an AoE, or the game would have a decoy-like skill.

I agree with you. The remedy I'm going to try and pursue is to turn those classes into glass cannons

Chronovore

I'm over 90% done with my hack. My "final playtest" has now crossed the 250 mission mark. Between my own work and following what others have done, here are two notes:

1. Heavily restricted movement isn't fun. It's even worse on a melee character. It just makes them hard to use. You've got to consider the trade-off. Importantly, why are you doing it and how does it compare to what you want to balance? Also consider which melee characters have access to ranged attacks and the degree to which designations like "melee unit" fully apply.

2. Forgive me for forgetting who it was but someone else tried assigning MP costs to everything. An important result was that Turbo MP became ridiculously powerful.

Why is it not fun? I'd say that the vanilla game is too biased in favor of physical and against magick. Restricting heavy armor-wearing jobs' move and making light armor-wearing jobs into glass cannons seems like a good way to introduce more balance.

Quote from: Chronovore on July 06, 2020, 01:51:18 pm2. Forgive me for forgetting who it was but someone else tried assigning MP costs to everything. An important result was that Turbo MP became ridiculously powerful.

I can't remember the mod either, but I played it and had the same feedback. I think I said that all I needed to do was use it with Blitz, which dealt full damage in that mod, and it outperformed even a Geomancy-boosted Hoarfrost Blade. A couple points about how I'm designing this mod that might mitigate this:

  • I'm trying to balance MP growth with costs in a way that would make this not feasible beyond a couple turns. If I recall correctly that mod had the vanilla FFTA2 MP regen every turn. I'm going with full MP from the start, no MP regen. I'm planning to set MP growth for pure physical jobs to 1, which will leave their MP at level 99 somewhere around 115. Jobs like Paladin and Ninja have an MP growth of 2, which would put their MP at level 99 around 210. Strict mages have a growth of 5 and the more utility-style mages have a growth of 3, which at level 99 will leave them with ~500-600 and ~300 MP, respectively. To use Blitz as an example, which tentatively will cost 8 MP, a level 30 Fighter (assuming no other class changes) will have 41 MP, which means that they'll only be able to use it 5x over the course of a battle. If they use it with MP Turbo, then it's down to 2x. The stat rework will make it difficult for any job to hit the 999 cap (I think there are 11 jobs that can max one stat among ATK/DEF/MGK/RES), so if you level the character as a mage for a few levels to gain MP, you're won't be able to make up your primary stat by the time you hit 99.
  • If, after testing, MP Turbo still turns out to be game-breaking, then I'll yank it (I'll probably give it to Montblanc just for giggles).

Update - since the first post I've accomplished the following:

  • Came up with some high-level changes to equipment, mostly so mages' weapons will boost magick in a similar way that physical weapons boost attack
  • Roughly categorized equipment types into early-, mid- and late-game
  • Built out a table by job to show stat growths and stats at different levels. I used stats at levels 1, 10, 30, 60 and 99 as reference points
  • Added stats including equipment to the table. Applied early-game equipment to levels 1 and 10, mid-game equipment to level 30 and late-game equipment to levels 60 and 99
  • Determined stat growths. HP growths range from 5-9. MP growths from 1-6. ATK/DEF/MGK/RES from 5-9, with a handful of 10s (only 10s can hit the 999 base cap in raw stats). Jobs that have high ATK and MGK growth are likely to be glass cannons and have low DEF and RES growths. For example, in vanilla the Parivir has HP/MP/Spd/ATK/DEF/MGK/RES of 7/1/62%/11/7/6/5. The Cursed Blade job has 7/2/58%/10/5/7/5, and that's one of the very few jobs that can hit 999 in base ATK
  • Determined monster stat growths to make them more competitive. Playable job stats growths should now underperform monster stat growths by 5%, whereas in vanilla they outperformed by 10-20%. However, when you factor in equipment, playable characters' stats should still roughly be +10% higher than monsters by end-game, which is down from +30% in vanilla
  • Revisited monster elemental affinities. Plan of record is for tier 1 monsters (i.e. Sprite) to have weaknesses but for tier 2 monsters (i.e. Banshee) to have no weaknesses and additional resistances/immunities
  • Also revisited elemental affinities for playable jobs
  • Used MP stats to determine abilities' MP cost, power and accuracy
  • Used the above to revisit some AP costs
  • Determined range and AoE for abilities
  • Also tweaked move, jump, evasion and resilience
  • Created and executed a test plan for the "new" things I wanted to try. Results below
  • Tweaked some abilities. Moved Mirror Items to Alchemist and decided on revised abilities for that set

Here's the most basic test plan I wanted to try out before locking down abilities. This is the first time I started tweaking things, so please let me know if you've tried these things out before and got different results; chances are I did something wrong.
  • Space Mage - Gravity: can Yowie Draw In target more than one unit? Result: No. Recommendation: Keep as-is with a single target
  • Space Mage - Repel: can Knockback target more than one unit at range? Result: No. Can Knockback knock back targets multiple spaces at once? Result: Kind of, but it's wonky and unpredictable. Can Knockback be used at range? Result: Sometimes, but not reliable. Recommendation: Set radius around user and increase AoE
  • Raptor - Air Blast: can teleport target more than one unit? Result: No. Recommendation: Move teleport effect onto Whirlwind, move confuse effect to Air Blast
  • Sorcerer - Last Stand: can Quicken target multiple units? Result: Yes. Recommendation: Keep as-is
  • Alchemist - Wind Up: can Buckshot increase an attack's AoE (or range?) several times? Result: No. Recommendation: Remove

Next steps before I start implementing changes:
  • Determine animations for new abilities
  • Revisit which abilities are assigned to which equipment
  • Review equipment stats and tweak as necessary (mostly the non-primary stats)

Last, I have some general questions about testing. How do you test your changes? What emulators do you use? What's the quickest way to test?

I've been using DeSmuME on my PC and it's really slow (Drastic on my Android phone is much faster). Is there another emulator you recommend, or if you use DeSmuME, a way to speed it up? (Edit: tried using this thing called Google. It's onto something. Problems solved.)

I also found that if I made a save state in DeSmuME, made some edits to the rom using Lennart's tools and then loaded the save state, the changes wouldn't be reflected (didn't test this super extensively). Instead, I needed to close the rom, reload it and work my way back into a battle again, which, combined with the slowness, was fairly time consuming.

chocolatemoose

Update - since the previous post I've accomplished the following:

  • Took a stab at animations for new abilities
  • Reassigned several R- and P-abilities
  • Assigned abilities to equipment. With only a few exceptions, just about every weapon has at least one ability associated with it
  • Tweaked some equipment stats
  • Raised prices for just about every piece of equipment

Next step is to start implementing the proposed changes. Wish me luck; I'll post here if I run into problems (most likely with animations).

Otherwise I'm considering changing my Summoner's Bahamut skill animation to Silver Disc and renaming it CD Rom of Doom.

Since the previous post I've accomplished the following:

  • Translated the ability proposals I had into a format aligned with the fields in Lennart's Ability Editor
  • Tested an animation change

  • Change abilities in ability editor
  • Change ability animations with goldfinger
  • Retitle job/abilities in everything editor and make sure enemies have skills
  • Edit equipment in Nightmare
