Final Fantasy Hacktics

I finally finished making a complete, Hungarian translation for the PSP version of the game. All information and download links are available on the following site:

https://mmatyas.github.io/forditasok/fft/

Installation instructions and patching tools are included with the packages. For now, the translation is only for the PSP version, but might be ported to PSX if there's a demand for it.

Some of you have seen it already on Discord, but to make it more accessible, I'll also make a post here.

As you may know, originally you could unlock four playable, interactive novels in the game, but officially these were never localized, and got disabled in the English releases. For the first three of these, there is a fan translation, and some mods, like The Lion War can restore them to the game.

Recently, someone asked if I could also translate the last novel. I gave it a try, and you can now read the whole novel here: https://mmatyas.github.io/fft/enavia/

Now, I don't often write English prose, so let me know if you notice anything questionable.
Have fun!

Some updates:

- You can now play the scene with double speed
- You can now view (and change!) the current camera position, rotation and zoom level
- You can now view the memory values set by the scene (and, in the future, might change it as well)
- Added support for the "{2E} Background" event
- Small fixes

Maybe! I'm not 100% pleased with the code at the moment, but I was thinking about releasing some of my tools after I finish the translation. I've found the wiki pretty detailed for development, but I'll also see if there's something I can update there.

Yes, it should be able to load and recognize all events currently on the wiki (ie. up to version 1.371). It should work both with opening a custom TEST.EVT or using the game disk, but I haven't tried out any full mods yet (in particular, the list of maps is hardcoded at the moment).

Hey there, it's been a while. About a year ago I started working on an event viewer/debugger, combined with a map viewer, running in the browser. I was using it for translation, but then 2020/21 happened, and the whole thing has been on hold for a while.

In the past weeks however, I've started working on the project a bit more again, and it's going quite well. The translation just reached the end of chapter one, and as a "celebration" I've decided to get the tool into shape and release whatever is working so far.

You can try it out here: https://mmatyas.github.io/fft/eventplayer/

Most events are still missing of course, but perhaps you might still find some use in it. I also added support for Xifanie's events from the wiki, but I haven't actually tried any of the large mods out there, like The Lion War, with it.



It support both the US and the Japanese releases:

Hello everyone! Recently I've started tinkering with this wonderful game, and now made a web-based map viewer for the PSX version. I had some troubles running map2gl on Linux, and was also curious about the various file formats the game uses, so I wanted to make a simple, cross platform and (hopefully) user friendly viewer.

You can find it here: mmatyas.github.io/fft/mapviewer. Give it a try!



How it works:

You will need the PSX disc in BIN format (but not in .ECM.BIN).

• If you only have the physical disc, most CD writer programs can also create a backup from it into a CUE/BIN pair (eg. ImgBurn I think).
• If you have an ECM.BIN file, you can use ECM Decompressor to uncompress it.

After that, just drag and drop the the disc file into the page and browse the maps!
