During the examination of the code, it was discovered that some little leftovers that had been dummied out. In FFIV The After Years, the list of available Ninjutsu was doubled. With the exception of "Frost" (which is really just the White Fang item with a new name), all of the new Ninjutsu is present and functional in the game. However, they do not cost any MP, do not display the correct text when a character learns the ability upon level-up, do not have help text, and half do not have the right spell strength.

Final Fantasy IV has been released many times, and today, there are 2 main versions of it: the 2D version and the 3D version. The 3D version took the liberty of expanding a few characters' magic spell list to make them a bit more versatile. The 3 differences are:
- Cecil gains Protect, Shell, and Life.
- Rydia, as a child, gains Confuse, Esuna, Cura, and Life.
- Edge gains 3 more Ninjutsu: Gale, Frost, and Quake.
Sadly, Edge's new abilities are not readily available in the PSP code (see below for a further explanation). However, all of Cecil and Rydia's magic is readily available. This patch adds the new spells to their list. Since characters gain levels at different rates between the 2 versions of the game, levels are given that make sense within the 2D version's progression. Because of the way that Complete Collection is coded, the changes also apply to the ~Interlude chapter. They do not apply to The After Years, because TAY uses a different EBOOT.

- Double-click on the folder [SYSDIR].
- Click and drag the EBOOT.BIN file from this hack into the folder.*
- You will get a prompt asking if you would like to replace the existing file. Click [Yes].
- Save your ISO.
- If you are using a homebrew-enabled PSP, copy the new ISO to the [root/ISO] folder.
(*Note: Because of the way FFIV:CC is built, this EBOOT file cannot be played by itself. It must be inserted into the ISO to work.)

About Edge's Ninjutsu
During the examination of the code, it was discovered that some little leftovers that had been dummied out. In FFIV The After Years, the list of available Ninjutsu was doubled. With the exception of "Frost" (which is really just the White Fang item with a new name), all of the new Ninjutsu is present and functional in the game.
However, they do not cost any MP, do not display the correct text when a character learns the ability upon level-up, do not have help text, and half do not have the right spell strength. Here are the accompanying notes for reference:
