Its my 1st time here and posting a question is rather quick and more convenient for me than reading the very long articles here. Anyways, im not here to ask for for the tutorial yet. Im just curious if this hacking effect is permanent (like the MHP2G's translation patch) or just need support from CWCheat (in short, non-permanent)?

DrBreen

Depends on how you apply it. If you'll PATCH your game=modify ISO(BIN or whatever),effect will be permanent.
If applied via CWCheat,then,of course,it won't be permanent.

Ok thanks... now i know

What i wanted is to change the sprites of some of my select chars in my rooster, and i want them permanent. Is it possible?

It's easiest if you change the sprites of jobs themselves, rather than select characters. It's possible to do select characters, but it involves messing with the Patcher and I don't know if you want to do that or not.

I want my Ramza's sprite to be Lizard Valeth's of all cost just like how Ramza is. As we know, special chars do not change their appearance when you changing job them. I want to tell what i really want to happen clear. For the select special chars, i want their appearance unchangeable even though they do job change just like what FFT had on their special chars (just i want is another look), and i guess there should be no problem on them, right? For the generic char, is it possible for me to make that particular generic to be like a special char in terms of sprite permanency? What i mean is i want to make this sprite permanent even though it will job change (just like with the case of special char). Moreover, i want also to change the profile pic (the avatar) of my generics to specific i like (permanent). For instance, i have generic char#1 named Tomoyo. Aside from the sprite, i do want not the original avatar of the sprite chosen but the ones i preferred. So its like double tinkering.

To put this in statement, for my choosen sprite, i just have to edit and replace the avatar of the sprite (for the sake of my term, what i mean of avatar is the face of the char on the profile/status or the profile picture). I guess its that way, right?

*Bump*

I need an answer pls.

I think you cannot just lock generic char's sprite.
You,however,can create special character with unique sprite,but not unique job job,like Squire,so he would be just like generic,but with custom locked sprite.

Replacing Ramza will always look weird because during events he uses special animations that are outside is normal sprite.

If i create this Special Char of mine, can i use them on PVP? Actually, im not boosting nor nerfing their stat. I just wanted their appearances to change. And about the squire thing, you mean i cannot get a normal Squire job for this special chars of mine? But it wouldn't be a problem if i just copy the skills in the normal Squire job and use it to as my special chars' "special" Squire job, right? If not possible, im just fine with making my own unique Squire job with abilities different from the normal Squire, and set a fair stat gain/multiplier on it. Im not using it in a fair PVP fight, since no idiot is using Squire abilities in PVP. Because it probably be a Ninja with Martial Art or Geomancy (or Dark Knight's skill perhaps).

Well, im going to make Tomoyo's 1st job (if for Ramza is a special Squire while Agrias is Holy Knight) a... Songstress? but Tomoyo Daidouji is a 10 yrs old girl who came from rich family so she is elegant but she knows how to cook and sew. Oh thats it! Yamato Nadeshiko but does this no. of letters will fit?

What do you mean by PVP?
You mean debug mode PvP,when you play with your friend,or do you mean Tournaments,like 1.3 tournament?
If friend-PvP,then it's okay,if Tournament-no,because what's the point of replacing sprite when stats is the same?
About the stats...
Just give this character Special Job Squire's stats and skillset,and voila,it's ok.
