This simple mod doubles the HP of all enemies (except Magic Pot), increases major enemy stats by 20% or 10% where appropriate, and generally raises the difficulty of the game somewhat on a numerical level.

Among the first six games of the series, Final Fantasy V has always struck me as the most balanced in terms of difficulty. I've often wondered if it even needed a proper difficulty increase mod, considering that it already challenges most players who attempt it.
Until we add the missing GBA bosses back in, though, this should work to increase the challenge somewhat. This simple mod increases the overall strength of every monster in the game. Enemy HP is doubled, most enemy stats are increased by 20%, and some others are raised by 10%.
To install the mod:
1. Install Magicite. Download the following:
BepInEx-Unity.IL2CPP-win-x64-6.0.0-pre.2 (this is the latest version of BepInEx supported by Magicite) Magicite 2-2-0 (the most recent version as of this mod) UnityPlayer DLL (available on Nexusmods)
2. Copy all of these folders into the game folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY V PR) and run the game once. This will create config files for Magicite. Now, you're ready to go. 3. Download the mod. 4. Navigate to the game folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY V PR\FINAL FANTASY V_Data) and create a new folder titled "Magicite". 5. Paste the mod folder into the Magicite folder 6. Enjoy!
Obviously, a difficulty increase like this isn't going to be it for this game. I plan on coming back to it in the future and actually ADDING some of those missing GBA bosses. Stay tuned.
