You should use cdprog instead; it bypasses the file limit up to the next sector. The game will still read the whole thing even if the file wasn't allocated all of it because the game won't care about allocated size at all.

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

ahh so thats why I have never had any trouble inserting my sprites i know jenna's is bigger (probably because of the hair... then again i did cut off some sleeves.....

yeah i didn't do anything special to rofokare so if you use cd prog it should be easy.

CD Prog? Hmm? I'll try that out then.

Sorry been away for a bit (cannot let anything distract me from job searching!) but of course it's fine to use that, Voldemort. The first video's first song is "Strangers" from hack//Sign, the Dark Wave animation (which has been changed by now) is Dark Whisper, but that was just a test and didn't look as clean as I had hoped, sorry about the lack of updates or participation recently, I really want to get this job situation worked out before I can relax.

I agree man best of luck with the job searching. And here I thought it was FFTA2 keeping you distracted lol. I under-estimated your responsability and sense of self-improvement  8)

good luck bro

That explains where i heard the song =P .hack = pretty good

But the versions i find on youtube dont sound like the version in your video =P oh well.

Good luck on the job search

EDIT: Why it didnt sound the same is because that isnt tthe song its Foreigners not Strangers =P

Wow this looks really great so far, but like all great games you have to wait for a release.

Sorry to sidetrack a bit but have you thought of a last class for Ramza yet?

Indeed, the classes name is "Hessian" which basically just means Mercenary... in... German, ahem! But in any case it acts as a sort of "Super-Squire" class, it is basically a highly updated version of the Squire skillset. Though it's not all finalized... did you have any thoughts on it?

Hessian sounds original since it does mean Mercenary (your game is called FFT: Mercenaries). So in respect it does make sense, but I'm curious about the skill set. A super squire just sounds kinda boring in my opinion.

Wel, the skill set aims to be rather varied, Throw Stone would become Throw Explosive (name pending...) which cancels charging of opponents, as well as damages them. Dash becomes Bullrush, which, (as well as a much higher power then Dash) has a chance to Don't Move or Don't Act your opponent. Heal becomes Nurse, which heals a decent amount of HP as well as cures any Status Ailments you may have. Admittedly I am having trouble coming up with some things, any help would be good.

Well those seem alright. Hmm Bullrush should also have a higher chance to knockback then dash as an added bonus. Gimme a couple minutes and I could probably fill some gaps.

No way to mess with 'knock back' right now.

@LD: You may want to consider an extra offensive ability or two.

Well thinking of what he's trying to make he's only missing a buffed Wish, Yell, Scream, Cheer, and Accumulate.

Scream no longer exists and "Cheer up!" Became "Guard!" I think an upgraded Guard! would be longer range and effect area, not sure what to call it. Yell would probably cast Quick as well as Haste (thank you 1.3!) Wish is never upgraded, Wish is simply that, Wish plays a relatively underlying point in the plot, but I can't say any more then that.Accumulate would probably  be a Gather Power esque move, but that might need changed.

Yell casting Haste or Quick (preferably Haste or both for this patch IMO)

is a buff to the skill itself

Haste is better right off the bat than +1 speed, and at the same time prevents +1 speed stack abuse.

Guard! with longer range sounds nice I suppose but at the same time isn't really great. How about calling the replacement Safe!, it puts the character in the defensive stance but also has a chance to give Protect or Shell?

Oh! Good idea, I hadn't thought of that, also is that an FFT Portrait based on Ganondorf?
