FFT: Complete Main Info thread

I hope Cheetah doesn't mind. Here are Gameshark/CWCheat codes to unlock the novels if you want to play with them:

PSX:

3009EB9B 0003
3009EB9C 0004PSP:

For Playstation, you may only want to enable the code while on the World Map...
Once the code is active, just choose one of the 4 books in Treasures/Artefacts and hit Triangle

[Cheetah]

Ah very smart move Melonhead. If you wanted to put that up on gamefaqs somewhere too that would be great. Just put in a plug for FFT: Complete while you do it haha.

Or anywhere else that has gameshark codes for that matter.

How on earth did you... where was this? How did you all find it?! This is great news though! You have all done fantastic work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mercenaries backstory in it's full complete form! Now is no longer just a dream!

[beawulfx]

I agree with the sentiments of Mr. Dawn, but add in three more exclamation points. Excellent work, I look forward to perusing said books!

[FFMaster]

All of accessories and items done.
Gold needle

Germinas Boots

Spiked Boots

Vampire Cape






Not too sure what to do about this one.


Not too sure about this one, but noting it will be better.

Sortilege, Chantage and Cherche have "Females only" written right after the effects. Septieme however has it written on a new line (and it looks better too, so I'm assuming that's the correct one).

UPDATE:
Gaia Gear gives a kanji error.


There is an extra space on all the hats in the first line.

Headgear

[Dominic NY18]

Noted FFMaster. *Marks those items for dea... -I mean- correction*

The perfumes'descriptions are actually just a copy/paste of the PSP text. But I agree about the Septième format probably looking best, so I'll go with that.

On another note, I should be done with the job requirements by tonight.

[PX_Timefordeath]

Here are reports from moi.

Thank you Mr. Ice Rod, for that nice Kanji Bug.


You can squeeze the description of the windslash bow and a few others into 2 pages.


Look towards the right of the screen shot.


HP Restore is a LITTLE BIT too big.


Faerie Harp


Cachusha same thing as Ribbon. Also, spacing is bad on the right.


Muramasa and Murasame have the exact same descriptions.



Report complete for now.

[Dominic NY18]

Thanks PX.

Some of the ability/equipment are apparently too long for the (original) game. Critical: Recover __ and Featherweave Cloak come to mind. If nothing can be done about the letters getting cut off, then they'll just have to be renamed.

Also, as to squeezing the descriptions onto two pages, I was following the PSP format, which will put the stats for a piece of equipment on the second page if it can't all fit on the first page. And the part with what job classes can equip a piece of equipment is always on a separate page from everything else (so it's always on the second or third page).

EDIT: The kanji errors were caused by a missing line break ({Newline} should have been where it wasn't. They're taken care of now).

Also, I've finished the job requirements.

[FFMaster]

Ok, I've checked through all generic abilities.

This was all I found.
MP Restore


UPDATE - All special characters that can be in the team are done as well.


Extra space Holy Sword skill.

Corporal Void text box is too big.

This link (and the link at the bottom of the page) already has a few translations of the books, the hard part then is getting them all into the game.

[Cheetah]

This link maybe somewhat useful to testers, it lists many of the fundamental changes between the versions:

I can't get LD's link to work, but here is an old translation of some of the books:

http://www.geocities.com/tuffydabubba/

I am currently in the process of reviewing the quality of these translations and am investigating translating them again.

[FFMaster]

Thanks for the link Cheetah. That will help me checking through items/abilities a lot.

[Cheetah]

I have a question about a couple of the errors that PX is posting. For the status protected against on the right hand side of the screen are you saying that they are formatted wrong or are you pointing out that not all the statuses are updated with the new terms? If it is the terms themselves that that is because those are actually graphics, not text, and will be part of this adjustment project (hopefully...).

Do you know the solution to all these errors Dominic? Or are there some that we need to brainstorm about? The "Critical: Recover ..." I will look into with Melonhead to see if there is anything we can do.

[Dominic NY18]

I've fixed all of the errors brought up here, besides the ones involving the long ability/item names. To give everyone testing a heads up on the errors:

- If the text box looks like this:


it's because a line of text is too long. In this description, it's not the second line that's too long, but one of the lines of text on the following page.

- This nasty error:


is caused by a missing line break. Basically, one of the lines in an item/ability description continues until it's "off" the screen. In this case, one of the lines in the Ice Rod's description didn't end with a {Newline}.

[Cheetah]

Well I got to thinking about fixing those status protection errors and how they are different then the newly translated ones, and I decided to take a look at the differences between the PSP and PSX Frame.bins. It is pretty apparent that there are a lot of text changes and moves going on in there, especially with the text in the middle. I'm thinking most of it will be doable with just same changes to the image, which I think is possible... However, depending on how much of purists we want to be we could run into some spots where we would actually change the coding concerning the coordinates of where the desired image was. That would be currently unknown knowledge and could be a bit of a bitch. But doable I think...


PSX on Left : PSP on Right

[Cheetah]

Then here is the Japanese Frame.bin.

[FFMaster]

I'm just not sure whether it is worth the trouble to change all the image to the PSP version. As you said, it would probably be difficult to do, and for little gain (only a few images changed).

The PSX status names aren't that bad. At least, to me, they are pretty clear on what they do.

[melonhead]

Here's the Italian version of the PSX FRAME.BIN made by sadNES cITy.
Note that some of the words are moved around and resized. The data for the location and size of each object in FRAME.BIN is either stored in both WORLD.BIN and BATTLE.BIN or it's stored in one place in SCUS.

[PX_Timefordeath]

Updates:

Check out the Speed of the spells...



Also, shouldn't it be Gravija, like most of the other spells?

[Cheetah]

Do we have any good contacts with the Italian team to see if they could enlighten us on the subject at all?
