About GFF (Grond's Final Fantasy)

Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)

Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.

GFF (Grond's Final Fantasy) version 3.2 [September 4, 2013] [This document to be viewed using a fixed-width font such as Fixedsys or Courier.] >> About This Hack << The purpose of this hack is to take an already great game and greatly improve on it by enhancing it with special features, ironing out wrinkles in the gameplay (poor balance, annoying quirks, and game- breaking bugs); and to a somewhat lesser extent, to put my own personal spin on the game. >> Notable Changes From FF1 << -Many bugfix and enhancement patches made by other ROMhackers applied -New, animated title added at game startup -Menu color can be changed--press B at the title repeatedly to cycle through the available colors -Names of most things expanded and altered -Saving is now done from the main menu instead of via inns, tents, & such -You can now sort your magic spells and delete unwanted ones -In-game world map slightly improved; now accessed by pressing Select+Start instead of B+Select -B-Button dash available at all times, even on the airship -Water & such things are animated now, and some areas have palette-cycling effects -Default (pre-bought/equipped) equipment & spells added at new game -Censored graphics from the Japanese version restored -Boss battles have their own songs now, instead of the normal battle music -Dual-wield ability given to Ninja and Monk/High Monk -Random battle rate is slightly decreased if a Rogue or Ninja is the party leader -A few new stat-boosting consumable items added -Most damaging-dealing spells should usually hit in the greater half of their damage range now -Elemental magic does 2x (instead of 1.5x) damage against vulnerable enemies (3x if at level 50) -Some spells switched around; some had effects and/or effectivity altered -Properties of some weapons and armor altered; some were changed into entirely different things -Shop inventories modified a bit; prices of many things lowered a little -Sanctuary (formerly Clinic) can now heal petrification and poison, in addition to death -Magic Evasion of most foes lowered to a more reasonable amount -Enemy groups' "ambush" values now roughly scale with the point in the game in which they are met -Several area maps altered a bit (mostly cosmetically) and quite a few treasures changed -A few walk-through-able secret walls added here and there -Some towns have a hidden treasure to find -Two hidden bonus areas added: one accessed from the first town (but only late in the game) and one from the last town, south of the hidden magic shops -Ship puzzle game now gives 500 Gold (50000 if at level 50) -All party members always gain experience after battle, even if dead or petrified -In determining preemptives/ambushes, all party members' Agility and Luck are considered (rather than only the leader's);
