I'm releasing a tool to distribute mods right away. It'll be much better than reuploading the entire main.obb file!

Working on a way to easily distribute mods, almost done.

Pretty sure the weapons are all .FLB files. I haven't gotten around to working on that file format yet, but it's on my TODO list.

Just released the info about the .obb file format (as an 010 Editor Template), and the filename hashing/encryption algorithms (as example C# code): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38150185/FFVI/FFVI_Data.zip

I just released my archive extractor/repackager: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38150185/FFVI/FFVI_Explore_v0.1.zip

Yeah, it's a bit of a bummer that the plethora of other mods that are available in this community weren't even alluded to in the articles :(

Oh one more thing, if I want to get into modding these 2D games, would learning C++ be a useful start (learning coding is something I want to do anyway).

That would be a fabulous start! C++ is a great language to know in general, and understanding the low level things it does would help a lot in trying to reverse engineer a game.

Wait, you're telling me the data is packed into an OBB? Jeez, they were so lazy porting it, they left it in the original Android format?

It seems that way. There's actually iPhone and Android assets still in the archive file. >_>

If I get around to getting a copy of V on steam myself (I don't currently have it), I could just go thru and give it the same treatment~

Go nuts. More exposure can only be good for the community :)
Everybody needs to experience the game how it's meant to be!
