I am completely new to using this stuff to mod FFT. Any tips on getting started, what programs to use, what I need, etc? I have PSX emulator and the game, so now what? Looking through all this stuff is a little overwhelming, and I haven't been able to find many of the programs to mod it. Can anyone help me navigate through? Please and thank you!
Head to the below link and grab one of everything.

The head to the Help! section for tutorials. I suggest starting with shishi for basic sprites tactext for name changing and Patcher for Misc then work your way up.
Also Welcome.
Thanks for the help! Just looking into the future when I figure this stuff out, can you edit the music in game to other music not in Tactics?
As far as I know you're stuck using whatever music is already in the game. There are a few unused tracks to swap around I believe.
i think you should try fftpatcher first, since i think it's the most important one.
after that, you're free to try shishi, or fftactext, etc.
