Utility description

This is a randomizer of sorts for Final Fantasy 1. It essentially erases all
the existing dungeon data and turns Coneria Castle into a procedurally
generated 50-ish floor dungeon.

Every so many floors there will be a branch to the next town. You can save at
the Inns in the towns, but when you load your game, you will be back on the
overworld outside Coneria Castle.

Somewhere on the final floor will be Chaos. In addition, there is a Bahamut
and a TAIL randomly placed somewhere in the dungeon; they may not be on the
same floor, and they could be encountered in either order. In addition,
there are four Ribbons distributed relatively randomly throughout the
dungeon.

The treasures will on average get "better" the deeper you go into the dungeon,
as do the "difficulty" of the monster encounters.

Since "shelter" items like TENT have no real purpose anymore, a patch has also been included that you can optionally apply to turn those items into Ethers. (The inn-related bugs with this patch have been fixed as of 1.7)

Deep Dungeon is also integrated as a flag in the Final Fantasy Randomizer (finalfantasyrandomizer.com). If you plan on using FFR with Deep Dungeon, please use that flag rather than this utility, as there can be incompatibilities otherwise.

A very fresh and intriguing hack, but...	dumbaxel	2020-04-30	Version 1.6
This is indeed an amazing hack, it practically turns the game into a one big "rogue-lite" dungeon crawler game similar to Lufia 2's ancient cave. It almost breathes a new life to this old and buggy (yet beloved!) NES classic. Hell, I might start a hack based on it someday. However, the ether patch included in the zip has a noticeably fatal bug. It freezes the game if you rest in an inn with a dead party member! This is a big deal since you can't use tents and the maps are just a series of dungeons with occasional town maps now, I hope that this issue is addressed immediately for the later releases.

Very cool, right up my alley.	therailz	2020-04-21	Version 1.6
Very cool. Nice way to play the game with a new twist. I haven't playtested it fully but it seems to work as intended so far. I did follow the suggestion to first patch the base game via finalfantasyrandomizer.com to fix various bugs in the base game and then run it through the DD tool.
