Hi! I am making a FFt fan art of Sand Rat Cellar for my portfolio, is it anyone possible to extract the 3d map file from the game? Thanks so much!
It requires sophomore level coding experience and a brain that can grasp 3D graphics math (not mine), but here's what exists thus far.

We actually figured this out in the discord (thanks to both Garmichael and Glain!)
Instructions:
- Extract the files in the MAP folder from a FFT ISO using CDMage or another program
- Extract the attached Executable to the same place you extracted the MAP files
- Open Command prompt
- Change directory to that file location
- type in the following (replace the NNN with the map number you want to export): fft_map_to_obj MAPNNN
- A number of files will generate in the file path
- The .obj files should be able to be imported into any modern 3D Software package
