FFVI Hack

[illustrationism]

I have to look for it and upload it, but would anyone be interested in playing a Final Fantasy 6 ROM hack I made a couple years ago?

It's... different. If I remember correctly, it's mostly a funny knockoff, but the game play is also harder, and in some parts the story is more serious.

Isn't that... illegal?

But no, the gameplay was hard enough for me, thank you.

Eh, but who cares?

DAMN RIGHT!!!
Illegal is another word for legal if you take the il out of it so everythings fine. lol

I actually found FFVI extremely difficult already lol.. Maybe I'm just uber lame?

Didn't FFVI have that one little area with the tyrannosaurus things that cast meteo(r) constantly, and wiped out your entire party in a few turns? Even a highly leveled up Gogo - or whatever that mimic's name was...
And isn't that hard enough?

But honestly, FFVI wasn't the hardest game ever, or even of the year or the even the hardest in the quarter it was released - except for those meteo(r) casting bastards in that one forested area, which weren't that hard if you were smart.

FFIV was much harder in my opinion - though I'm speaking "hardtype", the original non watered down Japanese, not the weaker Japanese translated and watered down moreso for the SNES release as "FF2a".

Yeah, the "hardtype" FFIV was harder than the original. But If you level up, then it always gets easier. lol

I've been playing through it, and man... There's some CHEEEEESY stuff in there. I don't know why, but I guess at the time I thought it'd be funny to change all the character's names and have a love affair between Sabin and Terra. Haha...

Anyone played yet?

 

[sixtyandaquarter]

Actually the "Hardtype" is the original.
And no I haven't DL'd since you asked if anyone has.

I might take a look at your hack. I guess you used FF3Edit and/or FF3usME?

Personally, I don't think FFVI was that hard. I guess that one of the main reason why people might find the game hard is because they don't use the characters correctly. There are certain abilities to use in certain circumstances... However, FFIII (the american version) is full of bugs such as the Vanish+Doom bug. Another problem is the lack of informations about abilities. It also became realy boring if you have a team of overpowered characters, all casting ultima and/or attacking 8 times in a row, dealing 80,000 points of damage. (Yes, you can kill the final Kefka in one attack)

Anyway, this game is my favorit FF! :D
And I'm interested in your hack. :thumb:

Well, I've changed a lot of enemy HPs to make them harder. Parts in the game where I know you'll have access to powerful characters, I've made the enemies and bosses harder: more HP, stronger attacks, etc.

To be honest, I don't remember all of what I did, so I couldn't tell you whether Kefka is harder or not. Chances are that he is though.
