Final Fantasy Hacktics

Im started toying around with these tools yesterday and successfully changed my female wizard to that of BoF Deis sprite

But i have a few Qs about if the following things can or cannot be done.

Thank you!

1- Can you change an existinf job with a copy of another existing job?
- For example replace Mime job spot with a dark knight.

2- Can you change an existing job skill set?
Example make geomancer main skillset a draw out instead of geomancy?

3- Can you add to the roster unique characters like alma, ovelia, gafgarion etc?

4- Can you add to the jobs wheel the option to actually change your generics into those unique jobs?

5- Can you turn a char into a zodiac and use it in battle?? ((Just curious, anout hackticks limits))

6- can you do all of the above on a monster spot?? For example change my "chocobo" to be an elmdore instead?

I guess thats it for now ^_~
Want to see how far my hopes can go before finding its limit point.

Thanks!

Good job getting started! I'll try and help out as much as possible

Yes! Not mime specifically (there's a whole lot of hardcoding around mime, start with something less problematic is my advice), but yeah! Just use the FFTPatcher and go to it, it's almost self explanatory.

Again yes, but Geomancy and Draw Out are also slightly more difficult to work with than say, Basic Skill, Punch Art, Battle Skill or Black Magic.

Yep! Absolutely. The easiest way to do it just to put them into a battle via ENTD editing and clicking the Join After Battle button.

You'll want to either change generic jobs like Oracle into those special jobs, or take a look at the ALMA / RAD spreadsheets that are used for messing with that kind of stuff, though they can be quite buggy if you aren't very careful.

Almost easier done than said, by doing some simple ENTD editing like I mentioned above, you can have a Zodiac monster or really anything join your party. Of course without a bit of hacking beforehand there will be a few graphical errors, but everything else in game should work fine.

If you are interested in transforming existing characters that are in your party into other things, check out the program FFTastic, it allows you to basically change everything about your party including party members and how much gil you have etc...

You haven't really scratched the surface of FFT Hacking yet, check out the fan made hacks like JoT5 or CoP to get a better idea of what can be done.

Thanks a lot for your help!
I'll check everything you said, all those questions were basically to check the tools powers.

Im basically mostly intetested in changing a few generic sprites into ones i like more, two- changing some skillsets i dont like if possible and third maybe add a non-glitchy alma... always wanted to use her on my team.

I already changed female wizard Deis sprite, ill change geomancer to Zelda sprite and then ill try to toy around and make one of my own ^_^

I find more ejoyable wasting time on these things than griding on skyrim with those huge slow loadtimes.

Time is precious 

Feel free to waste as much time here as you like, it can be a lot of fun!
