Hack description

This hack is intended to allow you to naturally play through FF3 with any combination of jobs in the style of the FF5 Fiesta.

This is mostly accomplished by giving classes access to additional equipment and spells. Shops have been adjusted to make items/equipment/spells available where needed. Some new endgame weapons have been created for classes that needed them.

Game difficulty is generally unchanged, with no changes to monster scripting or stats. It's supposed to be vanilla FF3 but with more class freedom. It is not an attempt to rebalance classes and some are still far stronger than others. Nothing in vanilla has been intentionally "nerfed".

Items that can Mini and Toad your characters are available to avoid having to switch classes when the plot requires them. Other item availability adjustments have been made to help with trouble spots like the Giant Rat and Garuda.

Most teams can progress through most of the game without grinding. However, many teams will likely need to grind a bit for the final boss gauntlet. This has been made much less painful via leveling curve changes for levels above 40.

Detailed change list available in the readme file.

This hack is intended to be used with the Jackson/Corlett/SoM2Freak fan translation. Notes on using other translations or the original Japanese rom is in the readme, but it isn't recommended.

ASM sources and individual component patches are available in the archive.

Great for challenge runsKingRanter2021-11-26Version 1.01

This hack is great for fiesta runs or other challenge runs. It feels good being able to use typically burdensome jobs a little more viably, and I'm glad I've got a new way to play the NES version.

It seems like some of the revivification springs don't work, particularly in some towns on the floating continent. I hope this issue could be patched out.
