| Phantasy Star: End of the Millenium, usually referred to as Phantasy Star 4, has some unused elements due to space limitations and the changing whims of the developers during development. Fringes of Algo has a page dedicated to PS4 here with some items of interest. There is also a thread for a debug menu (note: I've only gotten the debug menu working in Gens as the code given doesn't work in KEGA Fusion). What those pages don't list are things you wouldn't see at all by playing the game. First I'd like to give a hat tip to FreshFeeling who provided the necessary tables for item, encounter, and spell name hacking and also provided much-needed basics for offsets and whatnot. Ok with that out of the way there are numerous things dummied out in the name lists by just calling them NOTHING. These include 7 enemy names (not including Acacia and Shadow Mirage as those were translated; only the formations where removed so you can't fight them*), one NOTHING sitting at the end of enemy names and the beginning of enemy abilities, 3 dummy entries in enemy abilities, 2 dummy abilities in vehicle abilities, and one additional item not listed on Fringes of Algo which is a plot item that would only be equippable by Seth were it not set as type 09 (plot item) instead of an actual item slot. At offset 2ab9a3 an unused dungeon name is listed - GHOULFORST. There's some evidence more was originally planned for Dezolis and ended up cut for time/space like the ability to use the Aero-Prism outside of battle to do nothing. Whatever was planned for the Aero-Prism either got cut early on because there's no message for whatever the success message was supposed to be or it was going to be an event trigger and jump to a dialogue script. There's still much to do but this is a start. (The Shadow Mirage's unique spell, Star Dust, was also translated into english.) |






I take it those are for the English version, though? I only have the Mega Drive (physical) version.
(I'm still keeping a note of the codes, though.)
(Well, okay, I used the words 'room warp,' but it means the same thing, right? Right?)
