Hack description

Final Fantasy II Restored is an endeavor to fix the innumerable bugs that Final Fantasy II released with, a rushed and experimental project that, while ambitious, suffered from a lack of playtesting. This project sets out to polish all the rough edges of the original NES release, as well as offer some improvements to an archaic system in line with changes made in the title's remakes.

This release comes with two separate patches, all of which are mutually exclusive. DO NOT load more than one of the patches onto your ROM. The patches should be loaded onto a clean JP ROM, but are compatible with the latest ChaosRush Translation, which is highly recommended for use. This release does not translate the game, only addresses game mechanics.

The patches are:

FF2R - Bug Fix.ips: This is the base patch to use for only fixing the games bugs. Future FFII romhackers, please use and credit this patch in your ongoing projects.

FF2R - Restored.ips: This is the "overhaul" improvement patch which did not get as much work as ambition dictated due to limited resources. Perhaps someday this can be returned to.

The way the developers intended!	BlueVapor1234	2022-01-17	Version 1.0c
I've always wanted to play FF2 Famicom, but it became quickly apparent that it was as buggy as an Atari game. That was until I stumbled across this hack! This hack is amazing for a number of reasons, the first, the bug fixes. Nearly every bug imaginable was fixed with this hack, making the gameplay incredibly smooth compared to the original. The second point, is the "restored" part of it, which makes the gameplay much easier to stomach, especially with the reduction on grinding and the option to sprint. Overall this hack is the best possible way to play the original FF2.

The Best Way 2 Play The Original FF2!	mcgeepride	2021-04-26	Version 1.0a
If your looking for a hack that fixes a lot of bugs in FF2, this is the one your looking for.The restored version is for those who want something more to make their quest less tedious. I hope the creators of this hack include an optional patch in a future update for the bug-fixed version that has the key item delete benefit that the restored has. Overall this is the best way to play the original Final Fantasy II, Great Work!
