What are the settings for viewing FFT sprites in Tile Molester?

I know it doesn't matter - we have a sprite editor - but I need to know this for a modding project with a different game.

I don't know about the battle sprites but a lot of other things work in 2-Dimensional, 4bpp linear reverse-order. Then just expand the viewer to show 32 tiles horizontally.

Sorry, I forgot who I was talking to. Let me re-type my post in a more blunt fashion.

Many other graphics in FFT can be viewed in TileMolster using Mode: 2-Dimensional and Codec: 4bpp linear, reverse-order with the Canvas Size set to 32 Columns. If you TRY THOSE SETTINGS it is very likely/almost guaranteed the sprites you're looking for will be viewable.

You didn't need to clarify. You just needed to actually try what I suggested.

Bonus Protip: It actually works.

Worked, but unfortunately I was hoping it wouldn't work.  Thanks.

I hoped that the sprites in FFT were scrambled, and later reassembled in the game, so that I could find some specifications for reassembling sprites in SaGa Frontier.

Unrelated, but does anyone know what that shit at the end of the file is?

It's compression.

A spritesheet is 256x488
The first 256x256 is uncompressed. The rest is compressed.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)
<R999> My target market is not FFT mod players
<Raijinili> remember that? it was awful

That is the craziest fucking thing I've ever heard.  Truly, Square coders smoke crack.
