FFX Randomiser race FAQ

FFX Randomised Sphere Grid race FAQ

Q: How have you randomised the sphere grid?
A: With a save editor program called FFXED.

Q: Are you all using the same sphere grid?
A: No, all of the racers have a randomised, unique grid.

Q: Which grid did you randomise?
A: Standard Grid

Q: What gets randomised?
A: All of the stats spheres move around and replace other stat spheres (the same nodes are used, so there are no additional +4 nodes, or complete lack of HP for example). The abilities (skills/magic) only switch places with other abilities, not stats. The Lock nodes do NOT move or change.
It's important to note the characters will still have their usual starting abilities (some are necessary to pass tutorials like Kimahris lancet or Rikkus steal/use). This also means that characters will start with twice as many abilities, due to their starting abilities being moved on the grid. For example, Wakka will start with Dark Attack, but dark attack will move on the grid, so he will also learn another ability in its place.

We also edited Tidus' abilities to start with Flee to make the race fairer

Q: Does that mean you're playing on an emulator?
A: No, I'm able to transfer the save to my PS2 with special hardware. Some people in the race may be playing on PC. To keep the race fairer, skipping FMVs is banned on PC for the race.

Q: Can you help me set this up myself?
A: No.
