I will post on the next days all Final Fantasy games with almost same method (some little changes). I have done already the biggest one (XV) but im testing it ingame because i removed duplicated videos and im not sure if its working good. So in meantime here are the FF series in order.

Tools used: Xtools 0.9, SREP 3.9.2, Lolz & Ultraarc 2900 R5
Computer: 4 Cores at 3.9GHz (up to 4.3 on boost) + 8GB Ram + SSD
Ripped Files: Only changed DirectX with the websetup installer, game is still multilanguage

Method: xZLib+srep:m3f+lolz (lolz with d128, mcc 1023)

Original Size:   644 MB
Compressed Size: 349 MB
Packing time:    10 minutes or less
Install time:    1-2 minutes

Using ztool is giving same size then xtool (tested them on both). Tomorrow i will post IV, V & VI
