Quest64 "French Vanilla"

Hack of Quest 64

Description

Quest 64 "French Vanilla" is a quality-of-life overhaul for Quest 64, that came out of game improvements as part of the Quest 64 Randomizer project "MERROW".
Players requested a QoL ruleset separate (but compatible with) the randomizer ruleset. This patch contains only those QoL options.
[THIS IS NOT A FRENCH TRANSLATION.]

NEW CHANGES IN V48:
- Encounter rate reduced.
- Menu now displays combat EXP remaining rather than a percentage.

PREVIOUS:
- Spell damage substantially rebalanced (to make all elements viable).
- Enemy drop limit disabled (enemies will drop items even if you have one).
- Boss spell passive invalidity disabled (in vanilla, some boss spells passively removed buffs, making them functionally useless).
- All spells' accuracy normalized to 100 (the base game has a flat accuracy check and an Agility vs. Agility check. This functionally removes that first check, but spells can still miss enemies).
- Wings enabled indoors and in dungeons.
- Starting stats slightly improved (50HP/15MP/5Def/5Agi).
- Staff hit MP regain doubled (making Staff-only strats more viable).
- Fast Shamwood (leaving Shamwood will place you back at the Baragoon Ruins exit).
- Dew Drop made useful (now restores 20HP as well as 10MP).
- Hidden spirits moved to clearer locations (three spirits were not visible, now they are).
- Message speed set to maximum by default.
- HUD remains onscreen at all times instead of sliding in and out.
- Minor text improvements added for unclear UI (like 'Continue Save').

If you'd like to customize these options individually, or try further difficulty customization or randomization options, MERROW is available at https://hangedman.itch.io/merrow. It can directly patch/repair Z64 files, and also contains a generic CRC repair tool (and some other simple romhacking tools.)
