Document description

UPDATE: Corrected a mistake (Head and Arms equipment slot bytes were backwards), and added the proficiency rank level up threshold table to the end of "FFII Advance Character Bytes v1.1.txt" as a supplementary material! It seemed germane enough to character stats to include here, but too small to really warrant being its own separate document.

Documentation of the structure of character base stat blocks in the Final Fantasy II side of Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls. All research was done using a US ROM, so some additional deduction may be required to apply this information to other-region ROMs.

The intent is that this all is fairly comprehensive in terms of covering everything a person would need to modify party members' initial stats to their liking, since the locations and formats of every known part of a character's stats have been identified.

This is probably the default assumption for stuff submitted under "documentation", but this is essentially a guide to using a hex editor to modify the relevant data. It's not a specialized utility or a guide to the use thereof.

Reviews

Clear, concise, and thoroughexline2022-07-07Version 1.1

These documents lay out a lot of key initial statistics and character "traits" in a way that is easy to understand. Using a hex editor and these guides, it is easy to configure an initial party as powerful and well-equipped (or not) as you would like.

Not much has been done with the FFII part of this ROM; this work is helpful.
