Features:


Randomized Active Abilities and Support Abilities. You can choose to have stronger abilities (such as Auto-Haste) have a higher chance to appear on later equipment.

Characters will only learn abilities that will have a use.
Examples;
A character only has the chance to learn Boost if they can also learn a summon.
A character only has the chance to learn Eye 4 Eye if they can also learn Counter.

This randomizer has an option to include a few custom Support Abilities that I designed that hope to offer new play styles, with a few minor tweaks to others.




All weapons have a chance to have Elemental Attacks and Added Status Effects (all characters will have the Add Status support ability).

Weapon descriptions will tell you what they have.



The status effect will have a different % colour, depending on its accuracy.


There is a chance weapon damage type can be Random (think Quinas damage range) and HP Steal.

Weapon names can be custom; Selected from built in name pool at random, or from a text document that can be edited.

Naming is prioritised by the following;
Special Weapon > HP Steal > Status (not weakest %) > Element > Neutral





Weapon textures can be randomized per character.



Randomize items throughout the game. 

There is an option to only shuffle equipment (excluding weapons and consumables), if you wish to keep the original acquirement pacing.


Some key items can be randomized as well if you would like the challenge of hunting them down.



All equipment will have their stats adjusted to where it is found in the game (option to remove this scaling).



Equipment can have elemental attributes. Similarly to weapons, these can be read in the description.






Randomizing items will also give characters new starting equipment.




Try to find 72 new chocograph locations, with 3 different difficulty levels.




Different options to add an extra challenge to your playthrough.




Install the latest version of Memoria. 

Run VVsRandomizer.exe

Click Open and locate your 'FF9_Launcher.exe' file inside the steam directory (...SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX)

Choose your options and then click Randomize!

If you are using Moguri;
Inside the Memoria MODs tab, make sure the Moguri Mod is a higher priority than VVsRandomizer.



Make sure your game language is set to US to see the correct names and descriptions.

The mod can be used/re-randomized during a current playthrough. All you need to do is unequip support abilities (or else you won't be able to unequip any support abilities you no longer have). Equipment might look strange after (gloves on your head, etc), but you just need to change equipment or set it to off.



It is recommended that you uninstall using VVsRandomizer "Remove Mod" button, or else some files may linger and still effect the game.

Run VVsRandomizer.exe

Click Open and locate your FF9_Launcher.exe file inside the steam directory (...SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY IX)

Click Remove Mod.


To uninstall manually;

- Delete the 'RandomizerMod' folder inside your steam Final Fantasy IX folder.

- Inside the 'StreamingAssets' folder, revert the following files; 
  'p0data61.backup' to 'p0data61.bin'
  'p0data7.backup' to 'p0data7.bin'

 If you are using Moguri and used custom Chocographs, delete the file Chocograph Atlas (no file extension) at:
FINAL FANTASY IX\MoguriMain\FF9_Data\EmbeddedAsset\ui\atlas



Error message: Could not find 'Memoria.ini'.
The ini file might be created after opening the game up once.

I have Moguri installed, but the graphics haven't changed (or are buggy).
Double check the priority of the mods inside the Memoria MODs tab, Moguri should be above VVsRandomizer.
Check the 'Memoria.ini' and make sure the 'FolderNames' and 'Priorities' read correctly.



My equipment has the wrong name.
Make sure you are using US language.

Randomized music isn't working.
The music randomizer won't work with 'Moguri Alternative Soundtrack' active.
Simply disable 'MAS' in the 'Installed Mods' tab when you want the music to play randomized.

If you do not like the music randomized (battle theme isn't very exciting, etc) you can re-roll without a new seed;
Open 'VVsRandomizer', Open 'FF9_Launcher.exe', if your current seed has music randomized, the Re-Roll button will be active.



This started as a small personal project that kept evolving. Even though I had very little programming experience to begin with, my love for this game helped me persevere and learn. Over 7,000 lines of code later, I feel that it is complete. (v3 is now 20k+, v4 25k, v5 26k + UI!)

A huge thanks to Tirlititi for suggesting I integrate my mod with Memoria, making it extremely user friendly. Without his advice, users would need a DLL and Unity Asset editor.

Thank you to all the streamers and their communities for helping me playtest this mod, from finding issues to suggesting features.
