It should be possible, there is a DTE routine in place right now, it's just Japanese character over character instead of character next to character. |

If it were possible, DTE in battle wouldn't suck. |

Hey it did almost work. The only bug I can find is some of the letters are missing in the character naming interface.
They combine for a pretty comprehensive baseline. Just ahve to fix those letters. |

Mine has the following:
All bugfixes available in FFHackster Companion. Disch's item shop enhancement. Better font. All Japanese graphics restored. (Map tiles, battle sprites, monsters) Lowercase letters for enemies and magic. Original Japanese Temple of Fiends Chaos floor. (Pentagram with encounters) Japanese encounter rates. The one thing I never got around to was restoring Japanese battle formations, they caused palette glitches and I decided I shouldn't restore them. To get some of the features you list try patching it to FinalFacelift, it should work. |

Well that’s my point, actually. Does anyone have a better baseline than Grond? Probably not. But does your baseline have any cool features that Grond’s doesn’t? Combine your unique tricks with what he has and the FF hacking world will have a new baseline that is even better. |

Damn, made one of these myself, Grond actually released his though... ah, well, his is better for public consumption anyway  |

Wondering if anyone who can help has a similar interest.
http://www.fortunecity.com/village/hancock/63/ Grond, who has established himself as “The Man” in Final Fantasy hacking has not only released a new version of FF++, but has also released what he calls his Balancing/Bugfix Hack. This hack doesn’t change the core game, but adds many slight modifications created by him and others that essentially cleans up the gameplay and makes it the same game- but better. It is great that he has made this available. People starting new hacks can instantly start with a new, better baseline. People who make other hacks can patch on these changes and suddenly all FF hacks can be better for it. Here is my question- There are a few other “improvements” that people have incorporated into their various hacks that are not in Grond’s new hack. Would/can anyone like to apply their ideas to make an even better baseline for the “hacking community”? Here are some things I have observed that I think would be cool: 1) 5 letter character names 2) Extended battle screen (no bar in between characters and enemies) 3) Revert to uncensored graphics and story/names from Japanese version 4) Status screen character “portraits” (as in FFIV and FFVI) 5) Grond’s cool world graphics from FF++ 6) Updated FF3 character graphics for some characters |
