Final Fantasy V Pixel Freemaster. (Updated V4.85 out now!!!)

[Nintenja]

To get right to playing v4.85 visit https://archive.org/details/final-fantasy-v-pixel-freemaster-v2.0  (And patch to a ffv (japan)rom.) It's that easy.
To see a video of gameplsy footage of this hack: https://youtu.be/KBVWcVsCpwo

If you don't know what this project is, than it is my attempt at an ultimate version of FFV. I want this to be the definitive must play unofficial but better than the cash grab official release version of FFV. Included in this project is tons of different hacks and QOL features from many different authors..if it fits..it sits..in one of the easiest all in one patches you'll ever apply.

Project officially called Pixel Freemaster..tons of new QOL stuff. 14 new QOL features introduced since v3.0. Two versions exist..both with every included hack but the Kick Butz Edition has the All Jobs Unlocked Patch included as well.

 ====Update 4.85=====
In version 4.85 I made 2x abp,gil,xp an optional version for both Pixel Freemaster and Pixel Freemaster-Kick Butz Edition
due to a small almost unnoticable graphical bug it creates in the end of each battle right before the battle rewards screen that I'm finding difficult to fix right now.  I would suggest playing the version with the 2x abp,gil,xp patch to grind extra levels, gil, and job classes, but than switch to the non-2x abp,gil,xp edition for regulargameplay. Saves should  be compatible with both versions. But, if got don't care about the small and barely noticeable graphical bug than
I'd recommend just using the versions with the 2x abp,gil,and xp included.
*I also added in Super Custom classes https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5790/ by flamepurge to each version. Description is "A port of the basic features of Custom Classes by ludmeister to the SNES version of FFV.
Each of the Jobs can now use a wider range of equipment, and the majority are no longer forced to use !Fight and !Item. Should work with any version of the game."
Basically this let's you customize each job to your liking. A white and black mage for instance no longer has to have fight as a command anymore. Make sure if grinding or farming for levels, abp, or gil that yiu visit the in game config menu and set the cursor to memory to make sure the last command such as Fight is chosen each time automatically when its a characters turn in battle.
*Added FF5 Replace the Drag/Speed Spell with temporarily raise the caster's level by 7 patch and renamed it to "level"..Patch by Tzepish.

====================
Make sure to follow each rom hack author included in this work and thank them for their contribution if you get the chance.(see readme for credits)

I hope you find some good use out of this version and enjoy all the QOL improvements it provides. Best way to experience this is with MSU1 audio. I hear there's even a pixel remaster MSU1 Pack out there somewhere.

Thank you to all authors included in this work,amazingly all your individual patches each filled an important role in what to me is just the best way to experience this classic.

Alternatively follow T92 and his FFV-Tweaks romhack https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6789/..
Honestly T92 is an awesome hacker and I see his FFV Tweaks eventually exceeding this one bc of his skills of customization and porting are greater than mine. But I'll keep trying to make this version better and better anyways..I don't think we can have too many versions of this great game.

Also try out my other hack Mario Kart-Super Circuit-Freemastered v2.5 compilation hack...an actual collection of other patches that will probably be downloadable from RHDN before this one ever will sadly. https://archive.org/details/mario-kart-super-circuit-freemastered

These catch all projects are great for convenience and as a launchpad for other projects, nice work.

Hi all!

First things first: thanks for the time to collect all these patches and bring them to us together as an easy way to apply.


I've been playing for some hours (just finished first world, levels 20-22) and I think there is something wrong (or maybe it's intended to work like that, although I don't think so).

Everytime I try to equip a weapon (str or agi) such as swords, axe, lance, blades, bows and so on... the damage is almost nothing (20-30 points only, when on a clean rom is as usual, let's say 150-300). That made me play as monk (or barehand) with my str classes till now.

I guess it must be something related to "Weapon Formula Tweaks v1.3" patch, or maybe I'm missing something.

Any clue why this happens?


Cheers!

Yeah. Formula tweaks has that bug for some reason on non-vanilla ROMs.

Can i get a link? That RHDN rules are getting really beaurocratic.

The rules exist to protect the site from being sued out of existence. Like them or not, they exist to protect the site.

Wasnt just a submission of other patches..a lot of work actually went into making all these things and msu1 work together..conn the creator of the msu1 patch was actually impressed i put this together. Link for version 4.0 patch is https://archive.org/details/final-fantasy-v-pixel-freemaster-v2.0
Honestly it feels kinda diminishing what they put as the reason but whatever I'll keep working on it making it better all the way up to version 5.0 bc i feel like the community needs it.

Apparently this project will never be postable to RHDN for download as getting this many permissions to use each individual hack is shaping up to be impossible. Especially since the mods told me I'd need each author whose work is featured here not just to give me permission but to update his or her read me or hack download page to make their work open source basically.

[Nintenja]

At this rate this hack will never be posted here. But hey, v3.0 patch is posted to zeldix, archive.org,fantasyanime,and I think some kind of site about Romance with compact disks posted it too..
