I'm basically interested from where people are coming from and if we have active users from other places than GameFaqs.
So?
One day on the Gamefaqs forums, Karsten said to Zodiac, "I can host a website all this patching crap." To which Zodiac replied, "I can make lots of patching crap." I've been here ever since.
Gfaqs for me too. I checked the forum, saw the 1.2 topic and came here after reading through it.
Googled "Hacking tools", found link, clicked link, found another link, here I am.
Yeah, I'm right alongside with K-Suto. I remember the excitement on the GFs board when Zodiac released the spreadsheet, when Philsov started working on the 1.1 patch, then the 1.2, and when Karsten entered the scene with the offer to host their work.
Then Philsov was devoured by pterodactyls and I was very sad.

Seriously, what happened to him?
I remember asking about philsov to Zodiac when the first ideas for 1.3 were being thrown around. Zodiac gave me a pretty harsh words reply about philsov abandoning everything one day without saying a word.
What did you guys do to the poor guy??
death corps.. bastards!!!!
Also I heard of auritech from GF as well
No one really knows, Voldemort. (Or at least, I'VE never seen any evidence that anyone knows anything).
I always say he was eaten by pterodactyls, because it's just as valid a theory as the many others out there. In fact, I'm sure there's a thread around here somewhere where people were voting about what they think happened to Philsov.
EDIT: Here it is

Plus, you know that I have another theory.. which is currently being developed in my C.o.K.
Philsov FFT1.2 on GameFaqs. I couldn't find this site searching for FFT hacking or sprites.
I think I saw a link on GameFAQs in one of the 1.3 topics. I mostly ignored it though. However I found myself watching Voldemort7's WotG videos on youtube and halfway through them he started spamming this site. It was kind of annoying really but then I finished the videos and wanted more. Thats when I saw the 1.3 test vids which won me over.
Miraculously, I visited GFaqs FFT board after a couple of years of inactivity and found you (Zodiac) talking about haxing stuff with your spreadsheet along with philsov. That's when I picked up FFT again and it became my favorite game. From there, I've been with you all the way. Well, almost. Which reminds me, I still haven't made a full patch yet and now Voldemort7 has "corrected" FFT. I need to make a specialty patch now. Ah! I know what I can do! (runs off to New Project section).

lol..
that was fun to read
I also found this site in GameFAQs. I was in the FFT:TWOL board where someone mentioned the site so I looked it up and signed up.
I found it on GameFaqs on the board of the psx version a few months back.
I found while browsing thru a hentai site with pics of Zodiac... I mean, on GFaqs, around the same time as zodiac.
i looked for a save editor for wotl found lion editor on a googlecode page and then saw the patcher, not much info there on it so i searched and well here i am, never even seen it on gamefaqs oh and boobies..... yay for boobies
Same as many others, I saw the 1.2 thread a t GameFaqs and it seemed like a dream come true, after reading a lot about what Karsten, Philsov, and Zodiac had to say on the subject ( I think?) I headed over to the advertised site and was thoroughly amazed by the amount of customization which was possible, and now here I am.
I think I was looking for final fantasy hacks on Romhacking.net and ended up looking through google, too.
I came when Daki posted a comment in HoI about a community of FFT hacker-spriters. I get inspiration from seeing the works of others, so here I am! Sorta...
Was looking for a detailed change log for FFT:WotL to see if it would be worth picking up, and got sidetracked by forum posts and lil blog snipets about LionEditor which eventualy led me here. Never did go pick up WotL
I was searching from google on editing FFT then I saw a Gamespot thread about it and after reading several topics I found a link here.
Gee, I've been here since the idea was born. Back in the day, a good chunk of the things that, for example, 1.3 has done has been possible. However, we didn't have the tools to make easily accessible patches. Instead, we were forced to use Gameshark and enter code after code after code to get temporary results. Obviously, the GS had to be reloaded every time. I don't think there was any knowledge on ENTD editing, or full sprite importing (I don't think anyone was aware of the battle animations thing that was later settled).
Then one day, a guy under the name "ZodiacFFTM" appeared. He was kind of a grating and annoying guy, but you could deal with him. Soon enough, he decided to make the Excel Spreadsheet. Suddenly I found him not-so-annoying. He made the only tool I could ever ask for. And, you know, typical "Philsov does this and karsten makes the site" event that happens afterward.
So yeah, I rolled in from GFAQs when Karsten built the site. I don't contribute much... in fact I lurk this board pretty much all the time. But hey, I'm member number 4!
Just kinda lurked from the start.
i heard of the excel sheet that let you alter the game, i think off of gamefaqs there was a link or something... i never could get the spreadsheet to work right, but like 2 days later fftpatcher was released and ive been here ever since.
I used to be pretty active on the G-FAQ's FFT board a few years ago, but I stopped for a long while. I picked up FFT about a month ago and went to check out the boards. This site seemed to be all the rage over there. So here I am, amazed at the technology.
Back when I was on the FFT board I only remember Gameshark hacking and how hard that was for me. This place is a godsend, makes my life easier.
I was referred by a member of my native forum(Chrono Compendium; excuse the plug) and I gained interest in the site.
I found fftpatcher one day while browsing the web (I think I was looking for tools for modding my PSP). A few weeks (or months?) later I decided I wanted to make a mod for FFT so I started googling for information on fftpatcher. That lead me to here.
saw Voldemort's videos showing the playthrough of wotg and v1.3 so checked this site out
Searching for Final Fantasy Tatics editing... at google...
Bastard Poetry's C.o.K videos for me. He stopped posting on the Gfaqs long enough for me to click enough links to get me here so I give a salute to BP and will have that character ready when you need it.
Voldemort7's Youtube playthroughs of 1.3
ive been a silent fan for a while and made an account just for sharing ideas
but i think i found interest around the timethat the patcher started getting towards where it is now dont have a specific amount of time
I decided to tear vanilla FFT apart to new levels using epsxe save states, being as I ownd all on my old psx.
While on Gamefaqs, I found a topic about 1.2.
New version of FFT > Cheating with save states.
First time i finished FFT on ps1 :
Man, i wish i could make my own story and items
About the 53th time i finished FFT, with self-made challenges (solo chemist ramza sucks) :
Man, i wish i could make my own story and items
O yeah, google exists.
O look a FFT hacking community !

QuoteSeriously, what happened to him?
Failed a class in college, got cut off from parents/scholarship. Starting working 2 jobs while still going to school. Cut off my cable/internet because I didn't have the money to keep them up and its not like I had much free time in the first place.
Nor did I feel like telling anyone online anything because I just felt like shit.
Anyways, I heard about this place from gamefaqs >_>
Good to have you back Philsov, though I never knew you before. Now that you are done with 1.3 what will you do next?
I heard about this place in google, after hearing about fftpatcher (and lioneditor) on gamefaqs, since everyone is requesting patches there. I just wanted multiplayer items at first, but now Im busy all day with a bad FFT patch.

Ride Rachael to finish the DD fights (I'm leaving it alone until he wraps it up, though I should probably treasure hunt while its easy!).
Barring that, Star Ocean 2! Made it to Disk 2 last night.

A great game, once you get past the end and get into the cool skills, then it gets interesting.
Went to google, searched for custome final fantasy tactics sprites
Clicked a few links, browsed through them, didn't like them, hit the back button.
Clicked a few links, browsed through them, they were ok. hit the back button.
Clicked a link, browsed through it, it was good, it was real good, site's name was FFH, decided to become a member...
Google, internet friends, and the fact you half took over the FFT gamefaqs board for little while.
