NOTE: This setting has been removed due to bugs in implementation,​ but it may return in the future
-  * **Progressive rewards:** Magic and abilities will follow logical progression when obtained via chests and events. For example, a chest may have "​Progressive Bolt" spell, which means the player will get Bolt1 if the player doesn'​t have any Bolt magic, will get Bolt2 if the player has Bolt1, and will get Bolt3 if the player has Bolt2 or Bolt3 (redundancy). This is recommended when playing with Open World settings instead of locked seeds, otherwise World 3 will yield much higher tier goods and is immediately accessible. With this setting applied, even goods in World 3 will adhere to logical progression. However, for world locked seeds, playing without this setting is recommended,​ because ​+  * **Progressive rewards:** Magic and abilities will follow logical progression when obtained via chests and events.

 +  * **Remove NeoExdeath**:​ Removes NeoExdeath from boss pool, shuffles his location among the other bosses, and replaces his fight with a free Goblin fight. The Goblin fight will have very basic AI, but matching HP of the location (just like any other fight), and NeoExdeath will not be part of the seed at all. 
   * **Disallow ability placement:​** This is primarily designed for Four Job mode, but can be used with any setting. Abilities will not be placed in the game (in shops & rewards), but can be learned on jobs as per normal. ​   * **Disallow ability placement:​** This is primarily designed for Four Job mode, but can be used with any setting.

 +====== In-battle Reset Command ======
 +While in battle, the player can cause the party to become petrified, acting as a soft-reset and sending the player back to the title screen. ​
 +While in battle, press Start, then use the button combination [Start + Select + L]. Then press Start to unpause to enable this behavior. ​

 **Overflow Chance/​Threshold** is a chance that rewards from a given location will randomly be higher than stated. ​ For instance, the default Chance of 10% and Threshold of 1 means that a World 2 shop has a 1/10 chance of carrying a tier 4 reward instead. **Overflow Chance/​Threshold** is a chance that rewards from a given location will randomly be higher than stated. ​ For instance, the default Chance of 10% and Threshold of 1 means that a World 2 shop has a 1/10 chance of carrying a tier 4 reward instead.

 +====== Randomized Weapons ======
 +Refer to the [[weapon_randomization|weapon randomization page]] for an explanation on Randomized Weapons.  ​
 +
 +**Weapon randomization percent** is the percentage of randomized weapons that "​overwrite"​ vanilla weapons. When set to 100%, every weapon in the game will be a new randomized weapon. When set to 75%, 75% of the weapons will be newly randomized weapons (e.g., Cure3 Staff, Human Killer Bow), and randomly selected 25% will be untouched vanilla weapons (e.g., Murasame, Epee). ​

-This changes the two drops (normal/​rare) and two steals (normal/​rare) for each enemy. ​ **None** doesn'​t change drops/​steals at all.  **Match** only changes drops and steals for enemies that alreeady ​have them - empty slots //remain// empty. ​ **Full** fills up the loot table of all enemies. ​ **Variable** lets you set the chance that any given loot table slot is filled.+This changes the two drops (normal/​rare) and two steals (normal/​rare) for each enemy. ​ **None** doesn'​t change drops/​steals at all.  **Match** only changes drops and steals for enemies that already ​have them - empty slots //remain// empty. ​ **Full** fills up the loot table of all enemies. ​ **Variable** lets you set the chance that any given loot table slot is filled.
  
 Randomizing the loot table in some manner is likely to be rewarding, as it's very rare for enemies or bosses to give much of value. ​ //​However//,​ there are some static drops that can be valued: Ramuh/​Shoat/​Golem by default drop their summons after being fought as a boss, for instance, and controlling Prototypes in World 1 is a popular source of Dark Matter for either Chemists or selling. Randomizing the loot table in some manner is likely to be rewarding, as it's very rare for enemies or bosses to give much of value. ​ //​However//,​ there are some static drops that can be valued: Ramuh/​Shoat/​Golem by default drop their summons after being fought as a boss, for instance, and controlling Prototypes in World 1 is a popular source of Dark Matter for either Chemists or selling.

   * **Four Job Mode**: Optional extra challenge. ​ Four jobs will be given to you at the start of the game; you will be unable to get any more.  Furthermore,​ in order to leave the menu, you must have all four different jobs equipped to one party member each.  This means you can switch which party member is in which job (Good for learning abilities from each other!), but you will still retain the same overall composition at all times. ​ Abilities are not restricted; you can still freely equip any learned abilities, whether from the other jobs assigned or that have been found/​purchased.   * **Four Job Mode**: Optional extra challenge. ​ Four jobs will be given to you at the start of the game; you will be unable to get any more.  Furthermore,​ in order to leave the menu, you must have all four different jobs equipped to one party member each.  This means you can switch which party member is in which job (Good for learning abilities from each other!), but you will still retain the same overall composition at all times. ​ Abilities are not restricted; you can still freely equip any learned abilities, whether from the other jobs assigned or that have been found/​purchased.
   * **Job Choices**: Each job can be manually or randomly assigned for Four Job mode. The randomizer will ensure that Four jobs are assigned, for example if 2 Random and 2 manually assigned are chosen. ​   * **Job Choices**: Each job can be manually or randomly assigned for Four Job mode.

 These settings yield much more chaotic results than the others, which tend to be more structured and sensible. They'​re all perfectly usable, but will have unpredictable consequences. ​ These settings yield much more chaotic results than the others, which tend to be more structured and sensible.

 ====== Configurations ====== ====== Configurations ======
 +Menu configurations options are still changeable in-game. ​ They include the EXP/ABP multiplier and the menu colors. As of v0.82, each character can be renamed before the seed's generation (except for Butz, who is named in-game). ​
 +
 +====== Misc. Options ======
 +  * **Skip intro tutorial**: Remove dialog with Choco at the beginning of a seed
 +  * **Grant Key Items**: Grants all Key Items at the beginning of a seed. Used for easier playthroughs,​ not intended for racing. Cara may still be required for Fork Tower
 +  * **Start with Cara**: Start with Cara instead of Galuf. There are no other consequences,​ and the "get Cara at Mua Forest"​ event still happens and is required for Fork Tower
 +  * **Randomize Music**: All music tracks are shuffled. HIGHLY experimental,​ some areas may softlock. Testing appreciated
 +  * **Every step encounters**:​ When encounters are turned on, every step yields an encounter. This is useful for grinding in certain areas for EXP, drops or Blue magic
 +  * **Free shops**: All shops are free - every shop's contents cost 0 gil
  
-This just affects default options in the Config menu of the game, so you don't have to adjust them manually. ​ Most of these options are still changeable in-game. ​ They include the EXP/ABP multiplier and the menu colors. As of v0.82, each character can be renamed before the seed's generation (except for Butz, who is named in-game). ​
