2. Steal Heart: add charm no gender restriction R3 Aoe 0 V3 Ct 0 Mp 0? (remove the gender recquirement because it's 2017 and extremely annoying to position units based on gender for one ability)

I've been waiting for this simple but meaningful change since I started playing FFT mods, wish everyone had your vision.
Thank you!

I know you can do the Control stuff with the ability editor, but I think you need some hex editing to actually remove or add skills to a skill set, don't you?

I am using both, they're pretty good to do some changes to the game battle machanics. I had some fun changing skill effects: Thunder could stop; Illusions would deal less damage, but cost less MP; Tried to make haste an AoE spell, but it would cause a stupid glitch, só I gave up and fixed Hastega; War Dance also had Magick Up but cost was increased, etc... But other than these little buffs/nerfs, I couldn't do some REAL changes, like the Beastmaster's Control skill on Rfh's FFTA2 Redesigned (he condensed every control spell in a single one, and then removed the others from the skill set, in case you don't know about it). Sadly, there's nothing like FFTPatcher to mod FFTA2 yet... 
And I wish I had more interest in FFTA, but just like you, I don't think it is as good as other FFT's.

I spent the last few days reading a lot about Hex Editing, and I can only think that there's a boolean value for every single clan privilege that makes them available, but since you can't just make it false, the best option would probably be removing the Titles (Master Hands and Master Explorer [hoping that there's some way to do this]), but this would ask for a rework to the Clan Trials system (unless you'd like to leave it like that for these 2 specific Trials). Sadly, I don't know how hard or possible it is, since some game aspects can't be changed.

Also, which tools are you using other than Job/Ability Editor by Lennart? I'm kinda lost about where I should/must start by myself.

I am very interested in this project, since I love FFTA2 a lot. If you actually want some help, I'm trying to learn about modding, but I'm a complete beginner, to be honest, so I'm not sure if I can be of any use to you. I'll try to learn about some of the things you said you don't know how to do.
Also, good luck with this, I'll be waiting for future updates!


Now, a quick question out of topic:
Do you know any NDS emulator that has Fast Forward without frame-skip?
