Introduction
============
Welcome to my guide, this is my first guide that I've submitted to Gamefaqs, or
anywhere for that matter, so I hope you enjoy it. I tried to hack as much info
as possible so you have complete control over your characters. I love Final
Fantasy II/IV/Easytype/Hardtype/Advance, whatever you want to call it, and have
been playing it on and off for 14 years starting with the SNES version. Now
that Square added some new features I thought it was a good time to start
playing again, and to write this guide as well. These were all made using the
Visual Boy Advance cheat search, lots of trial and error, and some frustration.
But it has all come together to be one pretty complete character altering guide.
Anyways thank you in "advance" for glancing here (bad pun), and lets get started
shall we?

============================
I. Character Swapping Method
============================
This method was discovered by "TheMatrixMaster" and was posted on the Gamefaqs
Messageboard for this game. How it works is the character is actually replaced
by the one you want instead. This Method is good because:
A. Its the "Real" Character, including everything that comes with them,
including level growth, equips, and the like.
B. The character you are hacking in is completely glitch free and are at the
level that you got them to and such (Except the "glitchy" dark knight, and
Golbez that are mentioned later on).
C. They don't "replace" your character, they are just replacing them in the
menu, within the game, you still have the character that was in the slot
before hacking i.e. they should be waiting for you to switch them back into
the party at Mysidia.
D. Going along with the above, you can switch characters anywhere you want, you
aren't limited to just having to switch them in the Tower of Prayers.
E. The best way to revive Tellah and FuSoYa back into the party is to use this,
as they aren't deleted after they leave, all their stats are retained.
F. The best way to do a "Single Character Challenge" is to use these codes to
delete all characters except the one you want of course. Beware if Cecil is
deleted from a slot and then a story scene is entered, it may crash the game.
So it might be better to leave him in the party and just KOed.
Now for the Codes:
(all 8-bit)
Slot 1 Modifier
---------------
020069E6:??
Slot 2 Modifier
---------------
020069E7:??
Slot 3 Modifier
---------------
020069E8:??
Slot 4 Modifier
---------------
020069E9:??
Slot 5 Modifier
---------------
020069EA:??
To make any character you want appear in the above slots use these digits:
00 - Cecil (Paladin), (Dark Knight) before class change at Mt. Ordeals
01 - Kain
02 - Rosa
03 - Rydia (Adult), (Child) before she first leaves party after Fabul
04 - Cid
05 - Tellah
06 - Edward
07 - Yang
08 - Palom
09 - Porom
0A - Edge
0B - FuSoYa
0C - Golbez (very Glitchy, don't remove what he has equipped unless
you want the game to eventually crash, don't use him in
battle as the game will crash as well.)
1E - Semi Glitched DK Cecil - (will not retain stat information)
FF - Erases character from slot
(any digits not listed are not worth mentioning)
-----------Important Note--------------
(Unfortunately the "Glitchy" Dark Knight Cecil will NOT retain his level
and stat information, leaving the guy basically useless......if you really
want him still, then use this code as a base point to alter his stats:
02007268:??, that being his current HP. Then use the rest of the bytes
from section IV to change the other stats, but beware as soon as the codes
are off, he will forget every stat you hacked and will go back down to 0 in
every attribute when there is a "loading" screen [like going into a town].)
-----------End Important Note-----------
==============================
II. Sprite Modification Method
==============================
This is a method I've discovered myself while playing around with character
codes. The difference is this method utilizes an existing character and
actually changes his/her sprite. Good Points about this method include:
A. Characters like Young Rydia and Dark Knight Cecil are completely glitch free
and come with their battle/out of battle menus and all sprites.
B. You could actually change a member permanently, a.k.a. don't like Edward at
all? change him into Tellah for the duration of the game.
C. Assuming the way this code works, the character can keep what equips they
had on beforehand. Meaning you can give DK Cecil some decent stuff for once.
D. This character will act as though they were the character they were supposed
to be, a.k.a., in story scenes they will say what they were originally meant
to say.
E. Both a good and bad point, they will have the stats of the character they
were supposed to be, from HP, MP and on, but as I said before they will have
the menus of the new "modded" character. Also on level up, they will level
from then on like how that sprite you modded in is supposed to while
retaining the HP and MP of who they were before.
F. Utilizing this code you can have up to 5 of the same character in battle.
Five Rydias, Five Meteors, you get the picture, heh heh.
So far the only really "bad" point is that they will not learn magic correctly.
For example, if you turned Cecil into Rosa, if she didn't know all of her magic
at that point, when this new modded character levels up they will most likely
not get any new spells, only spells that the "real" version of the character
knows. But this can easily be solved with magic modifier codes. Also for some
reason although Golbez has a sprite using this method, his battle sprite is
missing..........but his walking sprite and portrait are perfect, along with
his menus.......damnit! :-P
Without further annoying chatter, here are the addresses:
(all 8-bit)
------
Cecil
------
02006A02:??
-----
Kain
-----
02006A4A:??
-----
Rosa

Porom
------
02006C8A:??
-----
Edge
-----
02006CD2:??
-------
FuSoYa
-------
02006D1A:??
To make any character sprite you want appear in place of the above, make the
value any of the following:
00 - Dark Knight Cecil (Dark can only be used if a Dark sword is
equipped)
01 - Dragoon Kain
02 - W. Mage Rosa
03 - Summoner Young Rydia
04 - Engineer Cid
05 - Sage Tellah
06 - Prince Edward
07 - High Monk Yang
08 - B. Mage Palom
09 - W. Mage Porom
0A - Ninja Edge
0B - Lunarian FuSoYa
0C - Paladin Cecil
0D - Summoner Adult Rydia
0E - Golbez (with a job of "None" ;-P) (In battle he will be minied and
incurable...)
(any digits not listed are not worth mentioning)
====================================
III. Dark Knight Cecil & Young Rydia
====================================
- Many character related questions seem to revolve around these two so I have
devoted a seperate section explaining how to get them back and what that will
do to your game as a whole.
Young Rydia
-----------
- Well this has been extensively tested and when bringing Young Rydia back with
the sprite method it does absolutely.........nothing to the game. The game
still thinks Rydia is Rydia. Her sprite doesn't even change during story
scenes, unlike DK Cecil. And her stat growth and spell growth is even
unaffected, so use her all you want, she will not learn any new white mage
spells though, unless you hack them yourself. So if you want those 3 white
mage spells and to see her young face again on the menu and while she is
talking you just enter this, 02006A92:03 , simple enough right?
Dark Knight Cecil
-----------------
- This one is a lot more limited in its use compared to the afformentioned Young
Rydia. Basically you'll loose use of White magic, and the "Cover" ability
which actually is a pretty nice ability to have. You gain back the "Dark"
ability, but only if one of the three Dark Swords avaliable are currently
equipped on him, all others will make the "Dark" ability blanked out on the
battlefield. In order to aquire him nearly glitch free, you'll have to use
the sprite method just like Young Rydia, the code being, 02006A02:00 , which
will revert Cecil back into Dark Knight form. During story scenes, it is
natural to see his sprite turn back into that of a Paladin, but his face in
the spoken dialouge will still be that of a Dark Knight. Otherwise during
all other sections Cecil will look like a Dark Knight for battle and when
walking around. Cecil will gain stats as if he were a Dark Knight, so he
will have more strength, but as for his equipment, he will be stuck with
the Demon equipment along with the Deathbringer sword for the duration of
the game. So in order to keep him in tune with the others that gain new
equipment, you should turn him into a Paladin each time you acquire new
equipment, upgrade him, then change him back into a Dark Knight again
form before his next level up, as this is the fastest way to re-equip him.
The other way to use is Equipment modifiers, but there are five of those
and only one code for changing sprite needed. Stats are recalculated every
time you equip or unequip weapons and armor, so keep this in mind. Also
in this way you can't use "Dark" which kind of make it monotonous since its
his only ability other then to just pick fight every round.

IV. Stat Addresses for all Characters
=====================================
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|How to use this chart |
| Find the Current Hit Point Hex address of the character you want to |
| modify, then add how many bytes to that address to get to anything on this |
| chart. Each character's data is 71 bytes long and are lumped together, |
| starting with Cecil and ending with FuSoYa. To go from one character to |
| the other, add 72 (48 in hex) or subtract 72 to go back and forth |
| ultilizing the current HP address as the base point. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Character Starting Adresses (Current HP Byte) |
| Cecil - 020069F8 (DK or Paladin) |
| Kain - 02006A40 |
| Rosa - 02006A88 |
| Rydia - 02006AD0 (Young or Adult) |
| Cid - 02006B18 |
| Tellah - 02006B60 |
| Edward - 02006BA8 |
| Yang - 02006BF0 |
| Palom - 02006C38 |
| Porom - 02006C80 |
| Edge - 02006CC8 |
| FuSoYa - 02006D10 |

|Notes on Specific Bytes |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Bytes 9 and 10 - Not sure how they work, but if set to FFFF you are |
| inflicted with everything. The reverse is true if set to 0000. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Byte 11 - Modifies the Sprite, what they can equip and what battle menus |
| they possess. They will level up like the sprite they appear as from then |
| on, although in story scenes the game won't crash. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Bytes 13-17, 21-34 - If changed, whenever you equip or unequip weapons and |
| armor your stats get recalcuated according to your 5 main attributes. So |
| if for example, you always want that 30 x Defense multiplier, then leave |
| the code on always while playing, otherwise it will revert upon armor and |
| weapon change. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Byte 35 - If changed, effects take place immediately, for example Rydia |
| can have two whips equipped if set to "both". |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Bytes 36, 40, 44, 46, 48- Use equipment bytes for these. If set to a |
| nulled out weapon/armor lots of garbage will appear, steer clear of |
| doing this. Can have anything in any slot otherwise, including items. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Bytes 50, 51, 53, 54- Not extensively tested, only FF has been used, which |
| makes all elements, statuses, etc. occur. If all statuses are inflicted |
| on a monster at once game may crash, beware. |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Byte 64- Experience can be modified, but experience remaining for the |
| next level cannot be. Whatever experience is set to, experience remaining |
| will change according to level. If experience is set to something higher |
| then what it should be for that particular level, experience remaining |
| will show a bunch of garbage, so steer clear of this as its unknown how |
| this affects the numbers overall. |

V. Other Miscellaneous Codes
=============================
Item Modifier
-------------
- Status Menu-
Slot 1 = 02006EE4:???? (Type) (16-bit)
02006EE6:???? (Quantity) (16-bit)
To....
Slot 48 = 02006FA0:???? (Type) (16-bit)
02006FA2:???? (Quantity) (16-bit)
- Fat Chocobo-
Slot 1 = 02006FA4:???? (Type) (16-bit)
02006FA6:???? (Quantity) (16-bit)
To....
Slot 126 = 02007198:???? (Type) (16-bit)
0200719A:???? (Quantity) (16-bit)
-All codes are 16 bit so add 4 to go to the next slot (in hex). If there
wasn't something in the slot to begin with the quantity will be messed up.
Use quantity modifier to correct this. Use equipment digits from the above
section to fill these in.
Enemy Dropped Item Codes
------------------------
0200E098:???? - 1st Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E09A:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E09C:???? - 2nd Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E09E:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E0A0:???? - 3rd Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E0A2:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E0A4:???? - 4th Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E0A6:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E0A8:???? - 5th Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E0AA:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E0AC:???? - 6th Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E0AE:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E0B0:???? - 7th Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E0B2:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
0200E0B4:???? - 8th Item Drop Type (16-bit)
0200E0B6:???? - Quantity (16-bit)
-As always, use the equipment digits with these, and the enemies will ALWAYS
drop the specified item after every battle with the codes on.
Monster To Fight Modifier
-------------------------
0200E06C:???? (16-bit)
-So far all I know is a few, like 0000 is 3 Goblins, 00B6 is with a Sorcerer
that will summon a Green Dragon after his cohorts are dead, and 027F will give
you 8 Flan Princesses to fight. Experiment, its kind of fun. :-)
Battle Command Modifier
-----------------------
First Command 02027D0C:??
Second Command 02027D0D:??
Third Command 02027D0E:??
Fourth Command 02027D0F:??
Fifth Command 02027D10:??
00 Attack
01 Dark
02 Items
03 Jump
04 W Magic
05 Pray
06 Aim
07 B Magic
08 Summon
09 Recall
0a Power
0b Kick
0c Gird
0d Sing
0e Heal
0f Hide
10 Bluff
11 Twin
12 Cry
13 Study
14 Throw
15 Steal
16 Ninjutsu
17 Regen
18 Cover
- These codes are kind of limited in their use, as every party member in the
battle will receive the command you pick for that slot. So far the only one
I can think of that could be good for every character would be something like
Throw, or Aim for arrows so they don't suck as much on average.
Enemies die in one hit
----------------------
02024E10:0000 (all 16-bit)
02024E6C:0000
02024EC8:0000
02024F24:0000
02024F80:0000
02024FDC:0000
02025038:0000
02025094:0000
- Pretty self-explanatory....
Debug Room
----------
7200e002 000c
8200E04E 015D
7200e002 000c
8200e3c4 0078
7200e002 000c
8200e3c8 0068
- I don't know the validity of this code, but as to how it works, it should put
you in the Debug Room after you load a saved game, this is NOT a Debug room
guide and I don't plan on making one since most of the options just seem to
do what my other codes do in the first place, (switch characters, etc.) By the
way this one is in Codebreaker format instead of the usual RAW.

Enemy Abilities
48-AC, They cannot be used though, doh!
-Rydia is the only one that can use summons. Enemy abilities don't work at
all unlike the SNES version. White and Black magic can be swapped, meaning
Black can be in a White magic menu and vice versa. Same thing goes with
Twin and Ninja Magic (Now the casting time for "Twin" magic doesn't have to be
so attrocious, just hack it into their menu and the casting time will be a lot
shorter).

VI. Frequently Asked Questions
==============================
- There are not any yet, as this is a relatively new guide. I just entered
this section in case some roll in as time goes by.
====================
VII. What's to come?
====================
- Figuring out what the few unknown bytes are in the character information
will be coming soon, but every stat is covered, so anything left that is
undiscovered is probably not very important for the most part.
- I would really appreciate having someone help me convert these into
Codebreaker/PARv2/ARv3/GamesharkSP codes for people who would like to use
the codes with their respective cheat device.

VIII. Credits
=============
- Although he might not even know it yet, a big thank you to TheMatrixMaster
for giving me a reason to dig further and find out more about modding because
of his Dark Knight Cecil code.
- Thank you to Katie N., who puts up with my game playing as much as she can,
while hating video games in general. The only exception to this is Ms.
Pac-Man (she is also a feminist...... so go figure :-P).
- Thanks to all of the people that showed a little interest on the Gamefaqs
FF IV Advance Message board in relation to my codes.
- Well, other then the above this has been all my own work thus far, except for
some of the codes that appear in the Miscellaneous code section, those are
from various members on the FF IV Messageboards and if they would like to be
credited fully by all means E-mail me and I will include your Name/Username as
it was a lot of work to put all of the codes together, and it was hard to keep
track of who made what code. Anyone who contributes to help make this guide
all inclusive, maybe even to the point of the Final Fantasy Tactics Character
Mod FAQ (that is maybe just wishful thinking, haha) will most certainly be
credited highly in the next version of my FAQ!
Well till next time........I'll be on the messageboards of FF IV (PuppyLoveDog)
if anyone has suggestions and also for code contributions or tips. For more info
on using these codes you can email me at
[email protected], but please no
hate mail, if you hate cheating, you shouldn't be reading this guide in the
first place, right?
