You can do it in D&D too, you just have to pass a roll check.

New mobs, do not give any kind of gil anymore. Anything created after adoulin gives zero gil on kill and cannot be mugged. And even old mobs aside from kings don't drop or mug more than a measly 15k ish.
Hacking/cheating devices are also breaking the rules, what's your point? It's not approved, if you used any of those things anything you did in the game would be discreded by any external source.

But even that's beside the point because in an offline/oldschool single player game, the only person affected by your cheating is you (unless you use a cheating device in a speedrun and try to pass it off as legit playing). This is all different from sanctioned, official helps included within a game. Those are considered to be within the rules, even if we don't like those features. That's a lot different than using game genie / action replay.


TL;DR yes the stuff you describe is a thing, but it's still cheating and it's still breaking the rules and it served no useful purpose for you to mention.


I'll just quote myself again:
Again: Using sanctioned ingame mechanics is different from breaking the rules with outside the game mechanics. I don't like those either, but it's not breaking the rules to use a built in feature of the game in a manner approved by the people who made it.
