Dragoon X Omega II

About this project

A full scale hack of Final Fantasy, nothing remains but the core programming routines.
It features all new graphics, music, levels, enemies, text, statistics and more. Think
of it as a “Total Conversion” for the NES.

After numerous releases, the hack has come to a state I consider final: All known bugs have been fixed and the gameplay has been polished to the best of my abilities. SRAM files from any versions other than 1.30 or Final will *not* work properly with this release. Sorry, too much has changed.

ADDENDUM:
If you aren't fond of grinding, then you can try this patch for an Easy Mode.

#What It Is#
############

A full scale hack of Final Fantasy, nothing remains but the core programming routines.
It features all new graphics, music, levels, enemies, text, statistics and more. Think 
of it as a "Total Conversion" for the NES.

This is the utterly final release of the game. All known bugs are now truly fixed,
and the game has reached a level of polish I wish was attained at the v1.0 release
in 2006.

#######
#Usage#
#######

Apply Dragoon X Omega II (Final) (FF1 Hack).ips to the ROM named Final Fantasy (U) [!].nes with
the IPS patcher of your choice.

Usage of any other ROM dump of Final Fantasy may cause issues, as they have not been tested
and are not what the hack was based off of.

See Changelog.txt for details.

#Misc.#
#######

A palette file called Dragoon X Omega II (Final) (FF1 Hack).pal is included. While it is not needed to
play the game it will make it look much better, as the game's graphics were designed with it in mind.

Please consult the documentation of your NES emulator of choice for info on how to load external palettes.
