Features of Stable Build

• Chest loot is fully randomized.

• Part of the Whirlwind family of mods.

• v0.1a includes a chest bugfix. Thanks to rpgman1 for the report.

Patching Instructions

• Recommended for use with Chaos Rush's improvement of Demiforce's fan translation.

• IMPORTANT! If you run into issues patching, try shortening the filename of the patch and/or of the patched rom. Thanks to Trinton for the initial report. Update: the patch has had its filename shortened and reuploaded.

• The Japanese version should also be compatible with this mod. Report any issues, and we’ll support the Japanese version albeit at a lower priority than the English version.

Preview of Dev Build

• Designed based on the open-world mode of the cousin hack, FFV: Whirlwind.

• Random encounters will no longer occur unless you have the B button held down while walking.

• Movement speed doubled in overworld, towns, and dungeons.

• Saving available even in towns and dungeons.

• Call your airship anywhere using the A button. Works from the beginning of the game.

• Party members can now have the same name. This is for future seeding purposes.

• The Jade Passage can now be accessed early. Ten other sequence breaks have been enabled in the overworld.

• Gil is now boosted to 10x.

• Airship always moves at double speed regardless of item collection and regardless of toggling the B button.

• The rates of leveling and stat ups are now boosted to 10x.

• It is 4x easier to run away from battle.

• Set (manual) seeding is now supported.

• Chest rando can now be toggled via pressing the Select button while in the main menu or row menu.

• You are now granted the ship at game start.

• The door in Kashuan Keep has been opened.

• The doppelganger in Mysidian Cave has been despawned.

• Ricard in Leviathan has been despawned. This is so Crystal Rod won’t be needed to pass through Leviathan. But he’s now believed to be unrecruitable.

• The Cyclone can be accessed early.

• Auto (random) seeding is now supported. Enter “auto ” as Firion’s name to get a different seed each time.
