Final Fantasy V ALL-ITEMS-IN-SHOPS-FOR-FREE Randomizer

The idea

The general idea of this randomizer is to be able to get unlimited amounts of every item (and one copy of every magic/job) in Final Fantasy V for free:

• Every object (item/weapon/armor/accessory) that usually appears in the Item menu is guaranteed to appear for free in exactly one shop (except for the missable shops which are backed-up in Mirage Village - see below).

• Two dummied-out weapons (Sabre and Mythril Staff) are also included. The Sabre is still not equippable by any job class, at the moment.

• Every black magic, white magic, dimen/time magic, summon, blue magic, and song is also guaranteed to be purchasable.

• Every job class is also guaranteed to be purchasable.

• Each original shop does not sell anymore its original goods, in order to make room for the randomized goods.

• Every missable shop (those at Walse, Istory, and Lix) is backed-up in Mirage Village. There are 8 unique shops in total in those 3 locations, and exactly 8 shops in Mirage Village. How convenient!

• Every good is classified in one of 6 classes: weapon, armor, item, accessory, magic, job. Armor includes head and body pieces of equipment. Magic includes white, black, dimen/time, and blue spells, as well as summons and songs. Magic swords are not included (running out of available shops). However, getting a black/white magic will automatically get you the corresponding magic sword as well, if it exists.

• Every shop can only sell goods belonging to exactly 1 of the above categories (e.g., weapon shops only sell weapons). Each shop type is randomized as well, as may or may not match the original.

• Karnak's pre-arrest weapon and armor shops do not sell anything. Just quit the shop to trigger the arrest sequence.

This randomiser is compatible with the following versions of Final Fantasy V:
