    Little confused. I think the mod is working, at least partially.

    Just finished the fake president fight. I don't have Carbuncle or Tonberry GF's, but i have Selphie, and Rinoa with me, but they can't use magic without their GF's. But Squall has Bahamut, and Zell has Ifrit. Do I just not get them yet?

      I just checked and both GFs pop up when you meet Selphie/Rinoa as intended. Did you by any chance start a playthrough with the mod installed, then install another mod that modifies field.fs/field.fi/field.fl mid-playthrough? This mod isn't compatible with any mod that changes the field files.

      The only mods I have are is the crystal remaster, and the remaster required, then I started a new game. Thought I was all good cause inventory had the items including potion giving 400 go instead of 300, and bahamut at start, but couldn’t name it, so it seems parts of the mod is working for some reason. 

      when you say merge files, is that dragging and dropping files together and then replacing the ones it tells me too, or is merging something completely different?

      It sounds like the changes to the field files aren't being applied.

      Are you playing the game in English? The field-related changes are only in the English version of the game. 

      Are your field files in the DEMASTER_EXP --> data folder like this? https://i.imgur.com/C8CAx9S.png

      I fixed it. I did a clean install of both mods and it’s working now. It even let me name Bahamut which before I had him, but it skipped naming him. And I had a lvl 100 Quetzacotl and nothing to do with it. 

      I think the verify integrity of the game messed half of it up, cause I had to do that the first time, cause the game wouldn’t launch and said missing config file. Everything looks good on the new slate so far, thanks!

    Hello there,

    I  can't make  the mod work for me.

    I do everything as  requested, I even changed the main title screen, and it works. But once i start  a game, I don't have the good items in my inventory :
    Potion x3
    Phoenix Down x3
    Antidote x3
    Eye Drops x2
    Tent x1

    Does the mod work only in english ? How can I use it in a different langage ?

    Thanks in advance  and thanks for your work.

      Ok I delete the  game, redl everything.
      I put my game in english, rerun the installation from beginning, and it worked, I can rename Bahamut.

      i dont know if the mod is playable in another langage than english, it doesn't seem so.

    I appreciate the effort that went into this mod and the intention to make the guardian forces feel more personalized and magic more usable.

    But I'm gonna say, had I known the exact details of this mod before downloading, going through the tedious process of installing it and the Demaster, and then playing far enough to understand what was going on (very little about its core functionality and specific mechanic changes are explained and you have to download it before even getting that little), I would have absolutely skipped it. Removing the ability to summon GFs and removing access to any GFs your characters don't start with were... extremely poor decisions, in my mind.

      If you didn't want to remove the ability to summon GFs and remove access to any Gfs your characters don't start with, maybe you shouldn't be playing a mod that is specifically designed to do those things.

      you fail to see their point. the mod DOSENT BOTHER TO TELL YOU THESE THINGS. its the typical bad nexus mod, in that its description is COMPLETELY LACKING ANY DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THE MOD ACTUALLY DOES.

    Hi, love the mod so far! Just wondering if you know of a way to increase the draw value to 100. I've looked around but all the answers I've seen are for the original ff8.

    At the D-Prison. Figured Id play cards with the guy that has a chance to give you a Rosetta Stone for winning. It says you are getting items for winning (Potion, Remedy, HP Up) but its not actually giving you any items.

    **Just went back and checked again, it *IS* giving items, just sometimes its giving a different item than whats stated. It said I got a Hi-Potion, but it gave me a Holy Water**

    Other than this, great Mod so far!

    Well, after a difficult time to find out how to install and run this mod, I got a really good impression and new experience for FF8R, thx this mod very much.
    I'm only at disc 2 without reading any guide and notes from Quinn's forum yet, so do Cards have any use in this mod? As a habit, I still trying to play card game whenever I remember the person got special cards, but I don't know, in the end is it necessary to collect cards as the original one?

      Thanks, glad you're enjoying it. To answer your question, cards are just cards; there is no Card Mod.

      thank you for your confirmation, I can get rid of the Random rule out of my sight now :)
      if future update feature something related to Cards, such as Cards mod or a tournament / more CC group contents, I would like to try
      this is a great work, keep going mate.

      Thanks. I may update this again to address a few things in the future, but if I do then it won't be for a while. I recently finished a project I'd been working on for the past year and since then I've just been taking a break from all of this.
