In digging through the PSP code, I found something surprising. Interlude: Cecil starts with all 9 spells. The final magic lists are as follows (new spells marked with an asterix): The games have a different leveling progression system, so I have placed the spells at levels where they would make sense in the 2D version. This mod adds the additional white magic spells from the 3D version of the game back into the 2D version. For the PSP version, the mod is for both the original game and the Interlude chapter. So I am offering this mod for both the GBA and PSP versions. Anyway, because I started with the GBA version, there was no reason to not make the same changes there too. I will be uploading my notes to the documents section so that everyone has access to it. I knew the code was based off of the GBA version, so I dug out a rom of that and stared working backwards. Nobody had mapped any code in the PSP version. To make the Complete Collection feel like the definitive version, I wanted to figure out how to expand Cecil's spell list to the 3D list, adding in Protect, Shell, and Raise to make him a much more versatile magic user in the end game. And so on and so on.įinally, I just decided to play until Cecil became a Paladin in both version, and then keep playing whichever one felt more natural. But the 3D version let you just add their abilities onto other characters with augments.

But the 2D version let you add Yang, Cid, Palom, and Porom back into your party at the end.

But the 3D version had extra story scenes. But the 2D version had the Interlude chapter. The 2D version had the right feel for the game, but I liked a lot of the additions that the 3D version made. I agonized over whether to play the 2D Complete Collection on the PSP or the 3D remake on PC, followed by the 3D remake of After Years (all of which I had acquired over the years). I wanted to play the original game before I tried out any of the great hacks available on this website. A few weeks ago, I had the urge to play FFIV again for the first time since my childhood.
