FFVI Hard Type

What is FFVI Hard Type?

FFVI is an altered rom of the original FFVI (FFIII US) video game. I decided to alter the original version of the game using two editors. Why bother? The main reason for my doing so is because I wanted to make a more challenging version of the game. It is a great game in many ways, but let’s face it, it was way too easy. Sure, its fun going around killing almost anything without much effort. But that wears off and it gets boring getting into battles where all you do is hold down the ‘A’ button and wait a few seconds until the battle ends. When you can defeat the end boss only being around lvl 35 or lower, that’s pathetic. Something had to be done to give this game a decent challenge. Below I’ll explain some of the things that were changed in the game.

Changes

Harder Battles Battles
The most obvious since this is what desperately needs to be changed in order to make the game harder. Pretty self-explanitory.
changed dialog text Dialogue
In no way affects the difficulty of the game, but something fun to change to make the game funny and to poke fun at the characters in it.

GP
Issues relating to money such as how much earned and store prices were changed to make the game more enjoyable. This doesn’t really affect the difficulty of the game either, just makes it less tedious when trying to buy items for your characters.

Espers/Magic
The spells the espers teach you have been changed as well as the rates at which you learn them. Some of the level up bonuses have been changed as well.

Rages
Most of Gau’s rages have been changed. In the original version of the game, only about 20 something rages were even worth using most of the time. That’s more or less 10% of them. Quite sad. While it would be too cumbersome to list all of the changed rages here, I will list a few that will definitely kick some A. The names of the enemies you learn them from have also been changed. Just keep an eye out for them.

Kishkumen
Osteosaur
Humpty
Oscar Ochu
Power Demon
Roc
Exoray
Evil Wreath
Evil Genie
Fuzzy Eye
Lancer
Lurp Prince

Lore
Strago’s Lore spells suffered a similar fate to Gau’s rages. Some of them just sucked. Some of the Lore spells had to be changed. According to the editor, Strago should be able to learn new spells in place of the old stupid ones. If it doesn’t work, at least you’ll be spared learning lame Lore spells such as Exploder and Pep Up. Below is a list of the new Lore spells you’re supposed to be able to learn.

Absolute 0
Flash Rain
South Cross
Hyper Drive
Shrapnel
Meteo
Blaze
Sewage
Goner
bye bye Chupon Colosseum
The items you can win at the colosseum have also changed. I’m not going to list any changes here. You’ll just have to figure out for yourself what they are. You won’t have to fight Cheapon, er I mean Chupon nearly as often anymore.

Altered Rom
Well, those are the main changes made to the game. Below is a link where you can get the rom if you wanna try it out. You may have to right click and select ’save target as’.
