Final Fantasy III: Final Fantasy VI - T-Edition + EX (English Translation)

FF6 T-Edition is a popular Japanese ROM hack of Final Fantasy VI for the Super Famicom. It's intended for Final Fantasy VI fans who would like to play the game with new twists.

Think of Final Fantasy VI T-Edition as a fun, lengthy, and more difficult version of Final Fantasy VI from an alternate universe.

In simple terms, this ROM hack:

- Retains the original story, but adds a LOT of new content *around* the main story, including side quests, locations, dungeons, super-bosses, unlockable character costumes (each with stat changes), a music player, and more

- Celebrates the Final Fantasy series in countless ways, including hundreds of pieces of music from other games in the series

- Updates the game's mechanics with bug fixes, difficulty modifications, new spells, new attacks, new items, and a whole lot more

This patch should be applied on a UNMODIFIED ROM of FF6j, not on FF3us.

-------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT TO EXPECT:

FF6 T-Edition is a popular Japanese ROM hack of Final
Fantasy VI for the Super Famicom. It's intended for
Final Fantasy VI fans who would like to play the game
with new twists.

Think of Final Fantasy VI T-Edition as a fun, lengthy,
and more difficult version of Final Fantasy VI from an
alternate universe.

In simple terms, this ROM hack:

- Retains the original story, but adds a LOT of new
content *around* the main story, including side
quests, locations, dungeons, super-bosses,
unlockable character costumes (each with stat
changes), a music player, and more

- Celebrates the Final Fantasy series in countless
ways, including hundreds of pieces of music from
other games in the series

- Updates the game's mechanics with bug fixes,
difficulty modifications, new spells, new attacks,
new items, and a whole lot more

-------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTES!

- This hack is *NOT* compatible with save files from
standard Final Fantasy III (SNES) or standard Final
Fantasy VI (SNES) ROMs

- If you need technical help or gameplay help, please
post your questions/problems here:

http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=30517.0

- This Japanese ROM hack was developed many years ago
using older tools and emulators. For this reason, some
music tracks might sound strange on actual hardware and
on modern, accuracy-based emulators. If this is a
concern, then I recommend using:

* Snes9x emulator version 1.51 or earlier

* Snes9x emulator version 1.6 or later, but you'll need
to go to "Emulation" in the top menu, select "Hacks",
press "OK" if it gives you a notice, make sure
"Separate Echo Buffer from RAM" is checkmarked, then
click "OK"

-------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO USE THESE PATCHES:

- First, note there are two patches included:

* FF6-T-Edition-English-versionA.ips
* FF6-T-Edition-EX-English-versionA.ips

(You can ignore the second "EX" patch until you've
completed the first patch. Think of the second patch
as super-difficult, post-game DLC for the main patch)

- Apply the patch of your choosing to a Japanese Final
Fantasy VI Super Famicom ROM. It *must* be the
1.0 version of the Japanese ROM, and *must* have a
CRC of: 45EF5AC8

- If you're unfamiliar with how IPS translation patches
work and/or the information immediately above makes
zero sense to you, see here for more details and
directions:

http://www.romhacking.net/faq/?page=faq#question1
https://www.romhacking.net/patch/

In most cases, you can simply name your original
FFVI ROM something like "ff6t.smc" and then rename
your chosen patch to "ff6t.ips", put them in the same
folder, and then load "ff6t.smc" in your preferred
emulator.

- The bonus EX patch requires the player to defeat
Ultima in the main FF6 T-Edition patch. Once you've
done this, go to the "Developer's Room" in Narshe's
Beginner's House, then go to the "Mog House" room.
Next, save your game at the save spot in the room.

We need to do a "save swap" now. It's kind of like
swapping memory cards in real life, but it just
involves renaming your save file on the computer
instead.

Close your emulator, then find your FF6 T-Edition
save file on your computer. Usually, it's the same
name as the ROM's name, except with ".srm" at the
end. So if you're playing "ff6t.smc", then your
save file is probably in a folder marked "Saves"
and is probably called "ff6t.srm". Make a backup
copy of this file in case something goes wrong!

(If you haven't already, apply the EX patch to
a **CLEAN** Final Fantasy VI v1.0 Japanese ROM, and
call it "ff6t-ex.smc".)

Now, rename your save file to match the EX ROM's
name. So if your EX ROM is named "ff6t-ex.smc",
then rename your save file "ff6t-ex.srm". Make
sure the newly renamed save file is still in the
same folder that the original save file was in.

Once you've done this, load your EX ROM in your
emulator, and if all went well, you should wake
up in the Mog House again, but with a new door
available.

KNOWN BUGS:

Final Fantasy VI T-Edition changes many things in the
game's programming. As such, sometimes unintended
bugs pop up from time to time. I fixed as many as I
could, but because this is primarily a translation
patch, some of the bugs in the original Japanese patch
are still present in the English translation.

Some known bugs include:

- Some of the added music tracks sound incorrect on
modern emulators and on actual hardware, see above
for workarounds if this bothers you

- Character sprites might have odd coloring in
specific situations, such as when first starting a
multi-party dungeon

- Sometimes Relics might get grayed out in the Relic
equip menu. You can still equip them, though! This
mostly seemed to happen late in the game for me.

- Auto-Optimize after a relic equip/unequip can
sometimes result in an oddly formatted text message

- Locke's "Sky Pirate" costume isn't listed as an
option in the EX patch

- Using "Libra" on the "Tonberries" enemy will result
in an empty name appearing

- There are many more, I'll add them as I remember
them to the list at:

three unique materials to create a Ragnarok sword.

Afterward, the man will speak of an even more powerful
sword that requires three other materials: the Omega
Plate (won from Omega on the way to the ancient
underground castle), the Gil Turtle Shell (won from the

the Esper Village. This will unlock a new costume for her.


==Showdown at the Coliseum==
Obtain the legendary sealed weapon Excalibur. Talk to
Gilgamesh at the coliseum and defeat him in battle. This
event will still work even if you've removed the sword
from your inventory - you just need to obtain it once.


==Long Live Ultros==
Talk to Ultros at the coliseum. Offer to pay off his debt.
He'll repay his debt to you during a boss battle in Kefka's
Tower.


==Return to the Sealed Gate==
Have Terra rejoin the party at some point, then defeat the
three members of the Warring Triad in Kefka's Tower. Leave,
then talk to Banon in Narshe. This opens up a new path on
the road to the ancient underground castle.

Take the new path to head back to the Sealed Gate. Along the
way, you'll have to fight an esper in battle before you can
enter the Esper Village.

In the village, talk to the elder. Talk to him again with
Terra in the party to receive a special piece of equipment.


==Wandering Shadow==

Floating Continent. Climb the tower north of the Veldt,
then traverse the Floating Continent. Defeat the Atma
Buster to receive another Atma Weapon sword.


==High Seraph Ultima==
In the World of Ruin, talk to Alvis in Narshe about "????".
Obtain a piece of ancient text from a scholar in Albrook.
Show the ancient text piece to Alvis, and he'll tell you
about sylphs. Visit the Moogles' cave and talk to a sylph.
Speak to Alvis again, then head to the Phantom Forest west
of Maranda.

Traverse the dungeon, talk to Matoya, and obtain her Crystal
Eye. Return to the sylph and converse.

Defeat Odin, Leviathan, and Bahamut, then talk to the sylph
again. After receiving the Goddess Bell, try to land the
airship on a tiny island just north of the coliseum. This is
the Labyrinth of the Ancients.

Traverse the labyrinth and reach the Crystal Tower. You can
also visit the Forbidden Land of Eureka from here, but this
is optional. Powerful equipment can be found in Eureka,
however.

Speak to Ultima at the top of the Crystal Tower. Win in battle
to obtain the Ultima magicite.


==Soul Shrine==
Similar to the Soul Shrine in the Game Boy Advance release of
FFVI. You must first obtain the Ultima magicite to enter.
The first time you complete the Soul Shrine, you will obtain
a powerful shield. Afterward, you can choose specific waves
to re-fight if you want. You can get some good equipment this
way!

Note that if you leave the Soul Shrine before completing every
wave of enemies, you'll have to start over from the first wave
again when you come back.


==Developer's Room==
Obtain the Ultima magicite. This will unlock the sealed door
between the Collection Room and the Achievement Room. Inside
is a fun area similar to the Developers' Room in Final Fantasy
IV.

Try interacting with people and things with different
characters at the lead of your party!

There is also a room for listening to music here. Some patrons
will comment on whatever piece of music is currently playing.
Use the Music Player in the Config menu to change the music,
then see what different people have to say!

As noted earlier, the Developers' Room includes a place called
"Mog House". This room allows the player to switch from
FF6 T-Edition to FF6 T-Edition EX. The EX version adds about a
dozen or so super-tough boss battles against major bosses from
other Final Fantasy games. As such, defeating a boss will unlock
relevant paintings in the Collection Room in T-Edition.


==Secret Present==
A secret gravestone is hidden somewhere in Eureka. If you can
find it and solve its puzzle, you can unlock every costume
for every character who has rejoined the party. Note that any
costumes unlocked this way will re-lock in a New Game Plus run,
until you re-unlock them.

Matoya's minions have a clue about the gravestone's puzzle.


==Know-It-All==
A new character who lives north of Narshe can tell you about
your progress toward unlocking certain achievements.

OTHER CHANGES:

Honestly, there are so many little changes everywhere that
a full list is probably impossible. This is why I suggest
you consider this a version of Final Fantasy VI from an
alternate universe - just play it like it's your first time
all over again rather than compare it with the original
game. You'll get much more fun out of it that way!

With that said, here are just some of the changes to the
game:

- Lots of changes to items, spells, enemies, and more

- Hold B to dash. You no longer need Sprint Shoes!

- The ATB works more like it does in Final Fantasy V,
in which the bar doesn't progress while effects are
happening on screen

- To open the new Music Player, go to the main menu,
choose "Config", go to the "Sound" option, then press
the Confirm button on your input device. Note that
there are more pieces of music available in the
Developer's Room, mostly just inn jingles and victory
fanfares

- There are nearly 200 new pieces of music from other Final
Fantasy games and other influential JRPGs that the
hack's creator was fond of. They're used throughout the
game in various creative ways

- A New Game Plus option opens up after you obtain the Falcon

- Element names have changed slightly:
* "Poison" is now "Darkness", with an icon of a half-moon
* "Holy" is now "Light", with a bright light-like icon

selecting equipment in the main item menu) has additional
information

- Anti-flying enemy attacks have had their calculations adjusted

- New item types have been added

- Attacks using the Atma Weapon are now Stamina-based rather than
Level-based

- The Valiant Knife no longer has defense-ignoring capabilities

- The Dancing Dagger has a 50% chance of activating one of Mog's
dances when used in battle

- The Fixed Dice weapon has been adjusted

- Dice weapons have no effect against Berserk status (I think?)

- Lots of monsters have been dropped, replaced, and/or added

- Events in the original game have been modified:
* Having Cyan in the party when fighting Kefka in the
snowfield will lead to extra dialogue

* You need to look for Celes during the nighttime event
in Albrook

* Cid needs fewer fish to survive

* If Sabin is in the party during the Gerad scene, new
dialogue will appear

* You need to have Terra in the party to fight the frozen
esper above the snowfield in the World of Ruin

* Cyan's dream sequence has changed a bit, and a new
series of solo battles has been added. The story will
still progress even if you lose though.

* You can fight Kefka on the Floating Continent

* And probably a lot more that I've forgotten about

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: What does the "T" in "T-Edition" stand for?

A: It's short for "Tsushiy Edition". Tsushiy is the
Japanese ROM hacker who created T-Edition.


Q: Can I use a save file from a normal Final Fantasy VI or
Final Fantasy III (SNES) run?

A: No. You technically can, but it'll just be a weird
unpredictable mess. The hack changes so much that they're
not the same games anymore.


Q: I'm having trouble figuring out how to patch this stuff!

A: Please see further above for patching information.


Q: Did you translate all of the text yourself?

A: To speed things up, I used the GBA English script when
text between VI and T-Edition were unchanged. For more
information on why I chose this script, see here:

https://legendsoflocalization.com/final-fantasy-vi/

For all of the brand-new text, I did indeed translate it
myself.


Q: Do lobsters really taste with their feet?

A: I don't know, I live in the desert


Q: How can I translate this into other languages?

A: I'll be releasing my source code and tools online, but
a full translation into other languages will probably
require you to modify the existing font, which is
already low on space. If you're super-duper intent on
translating the game, post something here:

Q: I hate the GBA script so so much! I want it with the
REAL translation!

A: You can use the tools to make your own version if you'd
like. That's partly why I'm releasing them - I know that
there's zero way to make everyone happy when it comes to
FFVI translation stuff, so you're free to make your own
custom build!

Mostly you'd just need to edit the two main script files
to use the text you'd prefer. That's about 2000 or 3000
lines of text though, so it's not a small task. Then you
have to consider all of the item name choices, enemy name
choices, etc... It's a lot of work. If you do decide to
do an alternate version, that's 1000% cool with me. I
just want fans to have fun playing the game.
