About this mod
In this mod I have recreated the original PS2 version's shop contents. With this mod there is now no need to hunt down chests that contain abilities, they are now available for purchase. On the flip side, many equips and abilities are not available until later – in the case of some weapons, much later – which may gimp certain jobs.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
-The original version did contain a number of items that were unavailable after a certain time, or gone temporarily – for instance, Onion
Arrows aren't available from the Rabanastre item shop after Belias, and Ethers temporarily disappear from the merchant in the Necrohol
after getting the Treaty Blade until after Pharos is done.
-In the original, Dyce at Balfonheim Port only sold Teleport Stones and Geyshal Greens. Similar to the above, in this mod he still retains
his wares from the Tomb of Raithwall as he does in vanilla TZA.
-The Armguard and Jackboots in the original PS2 version were changed to Berzerker Bracers and Germinas Boots respectively. I have made the decision to place all instances of the Berzerker Bracer after the Treaty Blade and the Germinas Boots after Pharos.
-The Escutcheon was changed to the Gendarme, and thus has simply been removed from those shops.
-I have removed the magick and technick chests, but feel free to keep them. Simply remove the 'plan_master' folder from the archive if you
want this.
Please note that this mod is NOT compatible with any other mod that uses a battle pack, including my own other mod 'Less BS'; however any
graphical, treasure (if you delete the 'plan_master' folder) or enemy modification mods should work fine.
BONUS: As a bonus, however, I have included my ''True Original PS2 Board” mod as an option. This allows you to play this mod with the original license board as well. Do note this is exactly the same as the version of this mod included with that one, so if you wish to play
this way, either will work. As they both contain a modified battle pack, they cannot be installed separately.
Is there's anything I did wrong I want to know about it. Comments/suggestions/concerns are all welcome. Feel free to contact
me on Discord (Melodia#7419), Twitch (Melodia42), Steam (Melodialala) or the Nexus (TerraEpon).
Or just come onto the FF12 modding Discord and ask there: https://discord.gg/hrwsBUT
I'd also like to give a HUGE shout outs to BigBoss (forthe Battle Pack Editor/Multi-Editor) and ffgriever (Battle Pack Decompiler) without whose wonderful tools this mod and many others wouldn't be possible.
