Updated: Hopefully fixed ATB crashing for newcomers, if you already have 7 ATB bars then follow this simple fix..
Go to this link, scroll down to download "ffxiiiimg.CT" and grab Cheat Engine.
Use the script on FF13 while running it, now you have two options.
- Navigate to 'Enable -> Scripts -> Battle Scripts -> 6 ATB Bars', enable it.
or
- Navigate 'Enable -> Pointers -> Party Pointers -> Slot 01 -> ATB Bars'
- Open your character status page in-game. Under ATB Bars, subtract "10" from your original number (70-10=60).
Do once every play session when using problem character.
Also added Hard Mode optional download

DESCRIPTION:
Bringing tactical decision making back into the game.
- Most enemies now feature higher stats (health, strength, magic, ATB rate)
Groups of enemies are relentless and many boss fights will test your skills & preparation.
Build the characters the way YOU want
- Commando: Magic nodes replaced with strength, now strength focused
- Ravager: Strength nodes replaced with magic, now magic focused
- Medic: Strength/magic nodes replaced with health, now health focused
Want Lightning to be a powerhouse Commando? Make Hope a damage-sponging Medic? Maybe try something unconventional? The choice is yours.
Primary roles still exist as an option
- Lightning: Commando
- Snow: Sentinel
- Hope: Medic
- Sazh: Synergist
- Fang: Commando
- Vanille: Saboteur
These primary roles for each character have added bonuses like early ATB/Accessory/Role +1s in the Crystarium or increased stat boosts.
For example Sazh obtains Haste in the Synergist field a lot earlier than the original game. Commando Lightning also may have 5 ATB bars by Chapter 5.
INSTALL:
Drag and drop files to FINAL FANTASY XIII\white_data\sys

Sure I am the one who made the specific modifications for this mod BUT I did so using GreenThumb2's Gameplay Tweaks and Hard Mode & Crystarium Editing mods. Simply amazing work he has done with these.
