Keep up with the Pixel Remaster modding scene in the Moogles & Mods Discord server: https://discord.gg/bSnpVBV

Welcome to Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster modding! This guide will assume you know nothing and give you everything you need to know to get started. Below this section you'll find a comprehensive list of all the available mods for this game, including screenshots and direct downloads, all organized by category.

• You'll need something like 7-Zip[7-zip.org] to extract almost all of the files you download, especially .7z files.
  
  
• Custom UnityPlayer.dll: DOWNLOAD[www.nexusmods.com]. Credit to Enfyve for their work, and you can support them here: https://ko-fi.com/enfyve
  
  
• By default, your Steam games are located in C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon. If they're somewhere else, you'll find a folder there called ..SteamLibrarysteamappscommon.
  
  
• Find and click into the folder called FINAL FANTASY PR. From now on, I'll refer to this as the "install folder". This is where you'll find the exe file, called "FINAL FANTASY.exe".
  
  
  
• Inside the install folder, there is a file called "UnityPlayer.dll". Every single mod requires that you replace this with a custom version linked above.
  
  
• Download that file and paste UnityPlayer.dll into the install folder. Choose to overwrite the original.
  
  
• Some mods require that you use something called Magicite. I'll cover installing Magicite below.

Magicite can do many really cool things that go much deeper than mods that don't use it. Previously we used a tool called Memoria, but that has been broken.

You Need

• BepInEx: Download here[github.com], extract the files, and place into the game's install folder.
  
  
  
• Magicite Plugin: Find the latest version[github.com] at the top of this linked github page and download the file called Magicite-[numbers]-release.zip.
  
  
• Open that zip folder and drag the folder inside into the game's install folder
  
  
  
• Run the game once to complete the Magicite installation

Most mods come in two flavors: bundles or Magicite. And sometimes both at once.

Bundle Mods

These mods are generally the simplest to install and most common.

• Inside your install folder is another folder called FINAL FANTASY_Data. The destination for bundle mods is in FINAL FANTASY_DataStreamingAssetsaaStandaloneWindows64.
  
  
• I recommend you back up this folder. These are real game files, and overwriting these files cannot be reversed without a clean install.
  
  
• If you download a zip file and it has .bundle files inside, this is where they go. Drag them here and overwrite. That's all you need to do.
  
  
• Note that some mods may make use of the same bundles as other mods. In these cases, they are not compatible and will overwrite the previously-installed mod.

Magicite Mods

• Like bundle mods, go to the install folder and open FINAL FANTASY_Data. This time we will go to FINAL FANTASY_DataStreamingAssets.
  
  
• There should be a folder called "Magicite". If there isn't, create your own.
  
  
  
• Magicite mods are a folder, with any name. Place this folder inside the "Magicite" folder and the mod is installed.
  
  
• If the folder is just called "master", this is not correct. Create another folder in the "Magicite" folder with any name, like the name of the mod, and place the "master" folder inside. That is the correct structure.
  

Okay! We're ready to get into the mods now. And there's a lot to go over, so I highly recommend you make use of the guide index to the right, so you can easily navigate between each section. Happy modding!

If your mods aren't working, try these steps

1. MAKE SURE that you installed the custom UnityPlayer.dll: DOWNLOAD[www.nexusmods.com]

2. If Magicite mods aren't working, after step 1, do this:

• Uninstall the game and delete ALL files. Delete the entire install folder.
  
  
• Install the game again
  
  
• Add a fresh install of THIS SPECIFIC version of BepInEx: DOWNLOAD[builds.bepinex.dev]
  
  
• Reinstall the latest version of Magicite: DOWNLOAD[github.com]

3. Are you installing your mods in the correct directory?

• Bundle mods go in FINAL FANTASY PRFINAL FANTASY_DataStreamingAssetsaaStandaloneWindows64
  
  
• Magicite mods go in FINAL FANTASY PRFINAL FANTASY_DataStreamingAssetsMagicite

4. Many mods will come with the proper folder structure and can simply be dragged into the install folder if the folder inside of the .zip file is called "FINAL FANTASY_Data". If it doesn't, it needs to go in the right folder as listed in step 3.

5. Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again? No, that's not a joke. Restarting your computer has been known to work sometimes when all else fails.

All the mods listed in this section can be used with any of the 6 Pixel Remasters unless otherwise stated.



This program works for every Pixel Remaster except FF2
Reduce Walking Stutter (ffpr-tool) by noskill-io:
Allows you to set the walking speed to Classic (60 px/second) or Fast (120 px/second) to better match the framerate of the game and reduce stutter.

• Download release from https://github.com/noskill-io/ffpr-tool/releases
  
• Place ffpr-tool.exe in install folder
  
• Run ffpr-tool.exe and follow the prompts
  
• This creates a folder with the backup dll file. To remove the mod, just replace the new dll with the backup

Memoria by Albeoris:
https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria.FFPR
Yes this is a mod in itself! I detailed how to install it so you can can use mods that make use of it. But it comes with some very cool features all on its own. Features include:

• Increase game speed (Default Key: F1).
  
• Disable encounters (Default Key: F2).
  
• Use quick save and load (Default Keys: (Release) F5 and F9, (Current) Alt+F5, Alt+F9).
  
• Highlight interactive objects and hidden passages[github.com] (Default key: Caps Lock [Toggle or Hold])
  
• In ATB games (FF4-6), you can switch from ATB to turn-based combat[github.com].
  
• In FF2: Color words and items that you've used.
  
• Partially modify CSV resources[github.com]for gameplay alterations.

Memoria is broken after the latest update. We have no word from its developer. Please be patient.


SoftResetter by Silvris:
https://github.com/Silvris/FFPR_SoftResetter/releases
Define 1-4 keyboard keys for a combination to soft reset the game straight to the title screen from anywhere.
If you read my guide on how to install Memoria, this is done the same way, as both use BepInEx. You need to download the BepInEx files and unzip them into your install folder. Then, unzip the SoftResetter files into your install folder.
Seems to be broken with the latest update.

Custom Title Screen by Silvris (Temporarily Incompatible With Memoria) - This allows you to replace the background image of the title screen, the title screen logo, and color of the title screen menu options. Even includes video support. This is not a complete mod, but a framework to create your own title screens:
https://github.com/Silvris/FFPR_CustomTitleScreen/releases
If you read my guide on how to install Memoria, this is done the same way. You need to download the BepInEx files and unzip them into your install folder. Then, instead of using the Memoria plugin files, use these.

If you want to replace that horrible default font, you're in luck because there is a multitude of options. And all of them can be used universally with any Pixel Remaster.

To reduce clutter a little, and make things easier on myself, I've created a separate Steam guide just for custom fonts.
https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2786311940
Here you can find all the details on how to install custom fonts, as well as a massive organized list of every known custom font mod out there.

From now on, the mods listed here are only compatible with Final Fantasy 2.
