Final Fantasy Hacktics

Hi, hopefully I'm not ruffling any feathers by posting this here, but I've released a hack that tries to fix up the remaining issues with FFT: Complete as well as restoring abilities/stats/etc. to what they were in the original JP release. I've made some other changes that go outside the scope of Complete's original goals, but it's nothing too extreme and most people looking to play the ps1 version with wotl's translation probably wouldn't mind them. Even if you do, I've included my ffttext/fftpatch/xml files so you can pick and choose and change whatever you want.

Updated 10/2024 - See bottom post & readme included in download for details

I'm pretty new to installing hacks, so forgive me for asking. Do I need to install version .50 first or will this work if I install it on the raw game?

I just have a question about this mod, is the Dark night class available to learn for anyone? If so what are the requirements?

Picked up the steam deck and wanted to play FFT on it; made this account to say thanks for the best mod out there -- the newer translation is objectively superior, as is the base PSX game (sound effects, visuals, no cheesy cutscenes).

Not only that, but the few "convenience" tweaks you made go a long way.. it almost feels like this is the way the game was originally intended to be played. You notice in THE FIRST BATTLE.. enemies cast spells/have viable 2nd jobs and hell even Gafgarion cast some black magic on one turn.

(for those wondering, this just comes about organically due to reduced JP cost for abilities)

In short, thanks. Just what I was looking for and even better than expected.

I took the liberty of adding the WotL chapter title text to Prime, mostly due to chapter 4's text using the old translation (as seen below). You can update the OP if you like, or you can download the attachment to this post for those who would want this

These Chapter Titles have been added to the main download. Thanks!

Thanks for this! I was looking for WoTL translation in PSX without any gameplay changes and this is perfect for that. I patched it using Rom Patcher JS and it works great!

I've released another (final?) update for this after quite some time attached to the first post.

I replaced a few ASM hacks for newer, better alternatives and fixed a couple lines of dialog that weren't showing, along with some other minor text fixes.
Newly retranslated Spell Quotes in the WOTL style by Daykeras and the WOTL's Chapter Titles from iamthehorker up above are also included.

All resources and directions are included if you'd like to use this a base for your own mod.

Edit 10/20 - Added another file with Gaffgarion's job changed back to Dark Knight from Fell Knight. Since there aren't any other Dark Knights besides him in the PS1 version he can have his old job back. I'll leave both files up so people can choose which they like best. The Dark/Fell Knight changes are the only difference.
