FINAL FANTASY II Stats Hacking Guide By: Binta email address: nekketsu_vince@yahoo.com ================================================================================ What is this about? This is a hacking guide for Final Fantasy 2 for the NES. It uses built-in hex editing for VirtuaNES under "Tool" as "Cheat Support". It's lets you change your stats, items, spells, and Gil held. To boot, you can also change the mastery levels of your weapons. ================================================================================ Disclaimer I, Binta, have made this FAQ page. You can read this freely and/or download it, just don't post it up on your website or other places, unless I say it's okay. I'll let you print this if you want, too. Just don't steal my work. ================================================================================ Credit to TeraTempyst for telling me the magic mastery addresses ================================================================================ Version History V 1.0 - Initial V 1.1 - Added level/EXP for magic spell mastery (thank you TeraTempyst) ================================================================================ NEED -NES emulator, hopefully VirtuaNES -Rom of Final Fantasy 2 ================================================================================ HINTS +When trying to get certain spells for your characters, it's better to hack the item rather than trying to hack the spell in your list. Do it either way, which ever pleases you. Same as with equipment and items. Just do which way is easier for you, or don't bother at all. +Make sure you make a backup copy of your data! Do this by doing either a "Save-State" OR by copy/paste of your .SAV file. If you don't do this and you change a wrong value or make an overflow, it will erase ALL of your data files for your game which you otherwise won't be able to get back! ================================================================================ NOTES:1)When altering a character's appearance, they will simply change colors UNTIL you "switch to a different screen" 2)I think (not sure) that when different characters leave/join the values must be changed again (if you want every different character strong). 3)When you see two values (e.g., for HP 6108,6109)input for both to get HP/MP over 255, since at most you can only place 255. 4)For stats, only place 99 at most!! HP/MP values put as 255. NEVER put anything above 255(DEC)/FF(HEX) for any case or you'll cause an overflow 5)Getting items on equipment slots they normally can't go on CAN be removed, but to get it back on you need to hex again. 6)If you try to get too high of HP, MP or Gil (currency) the number will looked glitched up but it's really above the unglitched number 7)If you find out other cool stuff or typos I missed, let me know. 8)When changing your items, don't get rid of the trashcan; I'm not sure if it's possible to get back. 9)It's possible to hex your characters' equipment in battles, but I don't think you can change their HP/MP ratings. ================================================================================ Current Gil Held-------601C,601D,601E ================================================================================ 1st Character Offsets Current HP-----6108,6109 Maximum HP-----610A,610B Current MP-----610C,610D Maximum MP-----610E,610F Power----------6120 Agility--------6121 Vitality-------6122 Intelligence---6123 Soul-----------6124 Magic Power----6125 Evade%---------612B Level-------612A Magic Defense--612D Multiplier--612C Hit%-----------6117 No. of Hits---6116 Appearance-----6100 Right Hand-----611C Left Hand------611D Body-----------611A Head-----------6119 Arms-----------611B Item 1---------611E Item 2---------611F 2nd Character Offsets Current HP-----6148,6149 Maximum HP-----614A,614B Current MP-----614C,614D Maximum MP-----614E,614F Power----------6160 Agility--------6161 Vitality-------6162 Intelligence---6163 Soul-----------6164 Magic Power----6165 Evade%---------616B Level-------616A Magic Defense--616D Multiplier--616C Hit%-----------6156 No. of Hits---6156 Appearance-----6140 Right Hand-----615C Left Hand------615D Body-----------615A Head-----------6159 Arms-----------615B Item 1---------615E Item 2---------615F 3rd Character Offsets Current HP-----6188,6189 Maximum HP-----618A,618B Current MP-----618C,618D Maximum MP-----618E,618F Power----------61A0 Agility--------61A1 Vitality-------61A2 Intelligence---61A3 Soul-----------61A4 Magic Power----6185 Evade%---------61AB Level-------61AA Magic Defense--61AD Multiplier--61AC Hit%-----------61A7 No. of Hits---61A6 Appearance-----6180 Right Hand-----619C Left Hand------619D Body-----------619A Head-----------6199 Arms-----------619B Item 1---------619E Item 2---------619F 4th Character Offsets Current HP-----61C8,61C9 Maximum HP-----61CA,61CB Current MP-----61CC,61CD Maximum MP-----61CE,61CF Power----------61E0 Agility--------61E1 Vitality-------61E2 Intelligence---61E3 Soul-----------61E4 Magic Power----61E5 Evade%---------61EB Level-------61EA Magic Defense--61ED Multiplier--61EC Hit%-----------61E7 No. of Hits---61E6 Appearance-----61C0 Right Hand-----61DC Left Hand------61DD Body-----------61DA Head-----------61D9 Arms-----------61DB Item 1---------61DE Item 2---------61DF ================================================================================ Appearance Values These will change not only your character's portrait, but also the sprite on the map AND battle. However, in certain story events where it shows ALL your members on the map at once, they will look normal as if you didn't hack at all. 0-Frionel 1-Maria 2-Guy 3-Minh 4-Josef 5-Gordon 6-Layla 7-Richard 8-Lionheart 9-Cross, like when your character is dead. 10-Frog 11 or higher are glitches. If you're used to the playstation names but playing this NES version instead, here are the names: Frionel=Firion Guy=Gus Minh=Mindu Layla=Leila Richard=Gareth Lionheart=Leon ================================================================================ Item slots are 6060 through 607F HINT: Keep the trash-can in its initial position (bottom right corner) so it's easier to hex items. (NOTE: Increasing address values goes from left to right, and starting new rows) Item/Magic Values Use these to get certain items. I've "divided" the item "types", such as story, sword, basic, etc.. If you try to place any item/equipment in any magic slot it will result in a totally useless spell which only wastes MP when used. Note that the spells are the ITEMS, not the items themselves. Story Items 0-Nothing 1-Ring 2-Canoe 3-Pass 4-Mithril 5-Ice Sled 6-Goddess Bell 7-Egil Torch 8-Sun Flame 9-Pendant 10-Egg 11-White Mask 12-Black Mask 13-Crystal Rod 14-Hiryuu 15-???

The second one is experience points. NOTE: When changing the skill level, remember to keep it one level less than what you want. For example, if you want a level 5 mastery, you put the level in as 4. 0 is level 1, 1 is level 2, and so on.
