So this program was posted over on ffxionline.com and I downloaded it for fun and got stuck playing with it for the last few hours.. its great fun! Basically all it is is an automated spell effect .dat switching utility for people who dont know how to find thier own spell or weaponskill .dats and switch them by hand. It also lets you swap animations with npc actions, fireworks, etc. Changed my bio II to diabolos's nether blast which was fun, and my tier 3 nukes to the avatar prime only moves like geocrush. Only problem with those was a slight distortion of my character during the move since its not meant for a tarutaru, but was still entertaining to watch. Best of all when you dont like something it lets you restore the old file quickly and easily, and wont let you change 1 file multiple times without reverting to the original between switches, so the backup will always be the original file. If anyones bored, try it out! heres some pics.
