| As of v0.81, weapon randomization is a selectable setting. Weapon randomization takes the interesting properties of weapons in FFV and creates a system of randomizing the weapons in such a way that adheres to both the general power structure of the original game's weapons, but drastically changes up the opportunities and potential for weapons to be much more of a forefront in fighting strategy, past weapon strength. | As of v0.81, weapon randomization is a selectable setting.

| Almost every weapon in the game is first replaced with a generic 'base' of that weapon, and the weapon preserves its power. For example, a Knife is a main weapon type, so something like the Dagger or the Kunai is stripped of any properties besides being a Knife, but retains its power. | Almost every weapon in the game is first replaced with a generic 'base' of that weapon, and the weapon preserves its power.

| - | Because the original weapons are "replaced" with the new weapons, the new weapons will follow all reward tiering and pricing of the original. For example, the Ragnarok is a high tier weapon with a large price value. Whatever weapon the Ragnarok turned into, say a Meteo Sword, will be the same tier and price as the Ragnarok. | + | Because the original weapons are "replaced" with the new weapons, the new weapons will follow all reward tiering and pricing of the original.

| Weapon power is static per randomized weapon. Each type of weapon (Knife, Sword, Whip) has some varying qualities that are consistent, and each weapon type has a bonus attack. | Weapon power is static per randomized weapon.

| When a spell is granted to a weapon, that weapon will gain a chance of using the associated spell when attacking. Rods and Staves are special cases. Spells are chosen with a system that adheres to reward tiering (when selected as a setting), meaning more powerful spells will appear on higher tier items. Spell modifications are the most common type of weapon modification. | When a spell is granted to a weapon, that weapon will gain a chance of using the associated spell when attacking.

| * The randomizer will attempt to reroll (up to a 100 times per weapon) to avoid duplicate weapon types & modification combinations. In other words, it is unlikely to see a pure duplicate for modifications. This is not implying that you will only get 1 of a weapon in a seed only - it's stating that the same bonus won't appear twice on the same weapon type. For example - if Fire3 is placed on a Sword (say, the Epee replacement), Fire3 will not appear on a different sword replacement (say, Mythril Sword, or Broad Sword). In other words, you should not see multiple inventory slots for the same weapon type and bonus, but you can get more than 1 of a particular weapon (like normal). | * The randomizer will attempt to reroll (up to a 100 times per weapon) to avoid duplicate weapon types & modification combinations.
