'''Edit Instructions:'''
+
__TOC__
−
* Copy paste the code below for each tool (no need to repeat the section name)
 
−
* Rename everything accordingly
 
−
* Remove the icons that aren't applicable: windows/mac/linux/psx/psp
 
−
* Remove <span style="color: red">Deprecated</span> if the tool isn't actually deprecated
 
−
* Always include Main Article even if there is none. Just name the article the tool name itself; it won't create a page, but rather a red link to easily create a page. I'll probably have you create an article for every tool down the line, but right now we'll keep it at this
 
−
* Only include a github link if there's one
 
−
* Make sure authors are properly credited, use [https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?action=mlist;sa=search SMF's member search feature] to get a link to their forum profile
 
−
* Leave one line break after ''Authors'' before the next tool or section
 
−
* Preview before submitting changes, makes sure everything looks good, then save
 
−
* If you mess up, you can always rollback changes and check history to fetch what you forgot.

All programs linked here are free to download and use. The only paid software you'll ever need for FFT modding is Microsoft Excel for most of the spreadsheet-based tools. <br />
 +
Note that some download links in this section may take you to a web page where you can get the newest version, which may be a newer version than listed here, instead of a direct download link. <br />
 +
These programs update at various different times, so linking to their web pages ensures you can get the newest version even if this page hasn't been updated in time. <br />
 +
This also allows you, in some cases, to choose between x86 and x64 based versions and/or install-able and portable versions, something we can't assume or choose for you. <br />
 +
Unless otherwise stated, you probably want the newest version of any given program, but feel free to ask on our [https://discord.gg/xpXa8VEV2k Discord] if you're unsure which version you'll need.

The tools on this page use the symbols in the table above to designate which OS and game system they are meant to be used with (Mobile being the Android/iOS app version).
If you see any inaccuracies, or know of any alternatives for tools that don't work on all operating systems, let us know!


General Tools

All programs linked here are free to download and use. The only paid software you'll ever need for FFT modding is Microsoft Excel for most of the spreadsheet-based tools.
Note that some download links in this section may take you to a web page where you can get the newest version, which may be a newer version than listed here, instead of a direct download link.
These programs update at various different times, so linking to their web pages ensures you can get the newest version even if this page hasn't been updated in time.
This also allows you, in some cases, to choose between x86 and x64 based versions and/or install-able and portable versions, something we can't assume or choose for you.
Unless otherwise stated, you probably want the newest version of any given program, but feel free to ask on our Discord if you're unsure which version you'll need.

FFT Modding Spreadsheets

Most of these spreadsheets, including all by Xifanie, specifically require Excel to function fully, as they are coded with add-ins that don't work in other alternative programs.
However, anyone with a Microsoft account can use the free Excel Online to view and edit those sheets, including saving any edits, but to use the add-ins, often including the export functions, you will need an Excel installation.
