Hack Name: GBATemp Legend II

Hack of: Final Fantasy Legend II [GB]

Introduction:
Hello everyone, Break here with the release of "GBATemp Legend II".
Final Fantasy Legend II was the game that got me into RPGs, growing up.
It also made me a fan of the SaGa-series...the music and the interesting stories kept me hooked.
Over the past year or so, I have become aware of speedrunning.
And have watched a few submissions for Final Fantasy Legend II.
While I did learn a lot from watching these vidoes and replaying the game myself.
I felt that it could be a bit more fun...with a few tweaks.
So I immediately started on a quest to learn how to hack this game.
However...with no editing tools available,
I soon found out that I had to learn how to "Hex-Edit"
In order to make changes to the game.
It was a challenge to learn how to Hex-Edit,
But luckily I ran across some very patient and friendly users
Who had the knowledge and passion for SaGa-games
And very very cool about helping study and learn how to tackle this game.
After Hex-Editing and testing the gameplay a few times
I became satisfied with what my project and am ready to share it with the world.
It sure has been a journey from January 2019 ~ August 2019
But completed, I hope other RPG fans can enjoy this hack !

There have been no changes to the storyline or dialogue
It is the same as the unmodified Final Fantasy Legend II.

Hello everyone, I trust you all had a nice summer.
Over the past few months, I have been working on a hack of Final Fantasy Legend II (old-gameboy)
Which I am calling "GBATemp Legend II"
The hack is more or less completed now
And I am in the process of reviewing a few things and making small edits.
With that said, I am currently looking for a way
To update the title screen to reflect this.
Anyhow, I will update this blog with a change log
Once I have finished checking a few things.
Also, I hope people are able to enjoy this old-Gameboy hack !
And if you have any knowledge of title screen editing...do reach out to me.

Hello everyone, I trust you all have been well.

Anyhow, we now have a new pokemon friend code exchange thread pinned here :
