Hello everyone! I have a simple question that I hope will have a simple answer. Recently I've discovered FFTeditor for my FFT emulator game and I was wondering how I can use some of the special classes that are not usually accessible to the main character, such as Holy Knight, Arc Knight, and such. I know you can assign it to them but the problem is their Squire class stays just that which means I cannot unlock new abilities to use for them. For instance I made Ramza a Holy Knight, but no where in his job listings does it say so, it still just says Squire. Any suggestions?

You should not be posting things like this if you don't want a warning, you spammy spammer who spams.

Also, in an effort to be helpful to the OP, because I never noticed this question before, the editor you're using can't actually do that, I don't think. I think it MIGHT be able to actually add the abilities manually while you're in there, but it won't let you learn them in game. I can't be quite sure as it's been years since I messed with it, but I seem to recall at the very least that there's no way to learn the special classes' abilities in-game.

Actually, there is a way - if you use a Gameshark, or a program that allows the use of Gameshark style hex codes, you can change the base class of a character. Whatever you set their class to will temporarily replace their Squire (or equivalent) class, allowing you to learn the associated abilities and gain JP in it as you would a normal class. There are complications, though; as long as the Gameshark is active, any attempts to change class will cause the character to pop back into the class, and while you retain that class even if you turn off the system and start it up again without the code, changing classes without the Gameshark active will cause whatever you've set the class to to turn back into Squire (meaning you can't make a generic an Arc Knight, turn off the Gameshark, swap the character to, say, a Samurai, and be able to switch him back to an Arc Knight without first restarting the game with the Gameshark active).

Hopefully this four AM post wasn't too confusing.

That's a good point, but I should point out for the OP or anyone who doesn't understand that this is not the same thing as the FFT editor mentioned to start this thread. smile.gif

That would be quite unfair and unmoddly of you moddy modder who mods, as you just did that to me. You would need to also give yourself a warning to keep this system just.

Moderator Edit
Facepalm time. You didn't contribute anything to the topic in either of your posts in this thread. I did, even though I also called you out. The difference is that I have to enforce the rules, but you don't have to spam. -R51

Good point. There is a program available that simulates a Gameshark and functions with the major PSX emulator, and for the life of me, I can't remember the name of it. It can be a little frustrating to use at times, and it can also resolve some of the issues associated with the emulator.

For example, when my PS1 went kaput and I started using an emulator so I could still get my fix, the FFT world map background was always blacked out unless Ramza was moving from one point to another. There's a code that removes the fading towards the edges of the screen that, when used in this situation, prevents that display issue.

I think you're thinking of Playstation Emulation Cheater, for what it's worth.

Since Mr Rangerman insists that suggesting somebody NOT cheat at a game is "not constructive" i shall recommend you just use the debugger built into the emulator if your emulator supports one. It is actually more effective then a gameshark. If you're into that type of cheating of course.

Dude...it is true that cheaters suck in MP games but WHY THE HELL do you want to prohibt them from cheating in single player? No one will be annoyed cause of it or even notice ??
The reason why cheating is forbidden at game servers is because it does ANNOY OTHER PEOPLE, that's it.

Guys, this topic should not be about cheating, because it serves absolutely no purpose to the original poster. If you want to talk about cheating in gaming, feel free to start a thread about it, it would probably be really interesting. Just don't bloody do it in this thread!

You should be able to find some modules for the popular GBA table editor 'Nightmare'. If ones exist for Golden Sun and Fire Emblem. then some FFT ones shouldn't be hard to come by.
If all else fails, then you could try your hand at hex editing. Brain-racking, but somewhat worth it.
