The features that were added in other FF PC versions like game speedup and skip random encounter
There was something in executable about random encounters. Game speedup probably not. I will look at it, but I can't test it if I will find anything. So if I find something, I will send you PM.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And there is still this

Noone contfirmed or denied if encounterrate setting is working.

Added support for Final Fantasy XII.
Added support for creating vbf archives.

For people who want to mod Final Fantasy XII:

Game uses filesize tables that can be found in
Code:
\romfs\filesizetables\nx
So if you change size of files that are in one of filesizetables, then game may crash in one moment.
And this file will be probably the biggest issue to apply translations mod etc. because tables looks like this
Code:
u32 Magic
u32 filesize
u32 filesize
...
So there is no ID for what file is this. PC may has the same order of files as Switch, but different sizes for some files will make swapping impossible to work.

Hey guys. After importing the Asia version from Play-Asia, thinking it had the option for Japanese Audio and English text, I see now that you're my only hope... :)

Am I correct that you found a solution @masagrator? I'm super new to this, and haven't installed Homebrew on my Switch yet, but I have done on my 3DS. After I get it on my Switch and install Atmosphere is it too difficult or is it feasible for a newcomer to figure out? I'm learning Japanese and try to hear the language as much as possible.
Thanks!!

I am trying to get this to work without success; here is my command

D:\age>ffxsw-vbf.exe -l -u "D:\age\FFXII_TZA.vbf"

It is saying invalid input format

FFXII_TZA.vbf is a XCI that I renamed... Do I need to get a NSP for it to work? What am I missing?

My final goal is to get Foreign Lands to work using draklab. Am I out of luck?

What can I use to unpack xci and get a vbf?

Updated Python and my extractor tools seem to be working out; I still don't know how to get the vbf but I made some progress

Got a NCA file but Im not sure what to do with it yet; I am thinking of trying to extract that as well using hactool but it needs the title key

Pardon my ignorance, but could this tool be used to remove the game files for FFX and leave FFX-2, to reduce overall game size?

If not, is what I’m after even possible or will the game crash without the complete original contents?

FFX-2 is separate from FFX except Common_Data.vbf which has only 2GB and it doesn't have visible separation between both games.
You can just delete FFX-Data.vbf to reduce size about 5,5 GB and ignore button or change in launcher button to always run FF X-2/change in exefs to FFX-2 nro instead of launcher (not sure if second will work)

FFX-Data.vbf should be loaded only when FFX/Eternal Calm is running. Try to use layeredfs to put there empty file with the same name and try to run game. If launcher is working and it runs FF X-2 without issues, then you know now what to do.
