I've made a lot of progress on this and have done all of the sprites up until Figaro Castle. Unlike the screenshots, the color palletes are identical to the SNES version. I'll post a video in the next few days with my progress :)

The sprites and the backgrounds can be completely replaced with the tools available. My best advice for anyone interested, is to download the tools available in both the FFV and FFVI mod indexes and see how far you can get :).

If you need any help along the way, feel free make a thread with the issue you're having.

Currently the best method to add better shaders would be to use Reshade most likely. Check http://sfx.thelazy.net for FFXIII and FFXIII-2 presets.

At a later date, I'll most likely go through the presets that are available currently and add the best ones to the mod indexes.

After discussing this with Krisan, the owner of the group, and Nyxo the creator of FFVI Explore, it appears we can't yet accept FEP patches that contain rom edits, since the entire rom is included within the FEP. I hope you don't mind, but I'll have to edit your post and remove the link for now.

However, as a way to workaround this issue, it would be great if you created a guide with step by step instructions, on how to do it yourself. This way people can still grab the IPS from romhacking.net, and apply it to the rom.bin from their own installation. This way no copyrighted content is accidentally distributed.

I hope you understand, and thanks again for your work.

This sounds like a great addition. I hadn't even realized that the scene was altered in the GBA release. Thanks a lot for providing it! However, in order to for me to add it to the index there are few points that I wanted to discuss with you.

After taking a look at the hack from the source: http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1626/ , it has come to my attention that the readme.txt has the following disclaimer:

"The contents of this document cannot be reproduced without the written consent
of the author, unless for personal purposes. Permission to distribute the files
included in the archive is granted exclusively to www.romhacking.net ."

Could you perhaps get in touch with Jame Coban, to see if he would allow you to redistribute his work, and to allow us to use the description in his readme as the description on the index?

Also, would you mind providing a download link that contains the FEP and the EXE for conformity sake.

Thank you in advance, and can't wait to add it to the mod index! :)

Moved to the FFVII Subforum.

(Does it even happen in VI, I haven't looked yet), once this problem is solved, I'll be a happy boy. I think it's the last great problem SE left in the game...

Nope, it only happens in FFV thankfully.

but I never learned how to reverse the process after the code is compiled! How does one even get into it!?

Yeah, no idea on that one. It's pretty amazing what Nyxo and Krisan Thyme have managed to do with FFV and FFVI so far.

I talked to Krisan about it a few days ago, and he definitely seemed interested in working on this, but only after he tackles a few other projects. I would try getting in touch with him and see if he can give you a push in the right direction.

Added to the FFIII Mod Index. Thanks!

I'm playing FFIII for the first time at the moment, so it'll be nice to be able to use this. Great job :).

I'll add it to the guide here in a bit.
