v3.0.0 is here!
Aside from a number of updates, entirely new features are available!
v3.0.0 Promo.png


The flagship feature is
Battle Randomization!
You can now enable battle randomization, which will entirely randomize all enemies (except bosses) throughout the game!
Checks are in place to make sure enemies stay around the same difficulty as normal (so don't be too afraid of Blue Dragons in Alterone), but it could make for quite a hectic experience!


The other entirely new feature is
Music Randomization,
which lets you randomize the music in every battle and map in the game!
This has no functional purpose, it's just for fun!

This update also includes a variety of fixes (including a big one that will make the randomization process faster after you tell it to randomize), and some adjustments to spells and stat calculations to improve the player experience.

Don't delay, grab your copy today!

Hey! Coming in with version 2.0.0, incorporating some feedback that was received, as well as implementing chest randomization and more control over spells.

2.0.0 Seed.png


As seen at the bottom of the window, randomizing the game will now generate a seed which can be shared with other users to generate the same random game! Or to recreate the same randomization for yourself, should you need to.

2.0.0 Spell List.png


A "Spells" tab has been added, with the option to ensure characters learn useful spells and the option to enable or disable certain spells from being learned by casters.

2.0.0 Items.png


Chest randomization is now available in the "Items" tab! This randomizes items found both in and out of battle. More options will come soon for better control.

Additionally, minor changes were made to stat calculation, and an error where the "randomization complete" notification would appear when it was not, in fact, completed, has been corrected.

I hope you continue to enjoy this tool! Please share with me any feedback or suggestions.
