So far this is the most vanilla increase in difficulty out there and looks like it is what I was looking for, I honestly disagree with mods like SFF because they make a lot of changes that are questionable like making most spells non AoE or pigeon holing characters into certain jobs and many other criticism I have read. But I have some questions about this mod:
-Is this mod tested on a complete playthrough?
-Does the change to stats make it more difficult to make characters with naturally lower magic stats mages? also the same with characters with low str does it make them difficult to make them physical damage characters? I ask this because I like the ability to make every character whatever I want and I don't know if the reduction in stats will pigeon hole certain characters into certain jobs.
Late answer but gonna give it either way for other ppl to see it No, it's not difficult to make any char anything, with the way the game is on TZA you will get 99 on the main stat(str or mag) at around lvl 45, wich is a joke to be honest, from that point only your level will matter. this only delays it to around 60 or 70s, so it's doable, it could even be lower
i agree 100%, ive been playing SFF, and in my mind it would be more difficult, but with so many changes to weapon having debuffs and elements and the magic is no more aoe, it literally makes the game a whole lot easier, the halycons are no match anymore, and before on ps2 version i tried to make at least 1 an archer so he gets out of aoe, now since there is no more aoe there is no need to be afraid of distance tactics.
"HP boosts from the board cut in half, with the same LP cost. HP natural growth is boosted up to about 600HP to every character at lvl 99 (is progressive). This is to avoid getting into several thousand HP early into the game."
it make me think about have a mod who give automatically the perfect HP / MP when you lvl-ing ^^
because its annoying to start always the game by an 122333 for manually set them perfect hp/mp :/
Is this mod compatible with license board mods ? I would like to play with this and a vanilla license board mod to get the closest experience possible to the original ps2 version
Been using this mod as the core of my current playthrough. It's definitely a very nicely balanced mod to provide a reasonable amount of challenge while keeping the game as vanilla as possible. A good alternative for those who prefer a more vanilla experience than something like SFF.
