May I ask what alterations you did to the sphere grids? The thing that bugged me about the original was the expert sphere grid containing less nodes than the original one. I wanna try this mod with the expert grid to be more flexible but with sphere drops gone from the arena I'm worried about ending up substantially weaker than if I chose the original sphere grid

Edit: Just tested it out with speedup, savegame editor and turbo button Master spheres:
The result is quite a difference:
Here are Tidus stats after activating every node via Master Sphere on the sphere grids

Standard Sphere grid // Expert Sphere Grid
Strength 187 // 109
Defense 160 // 141
Magic 147 // 169
Magic Defense 129 // 122
Agility 184 // 156
Luck 36 // 32
Evasion 134 // 70
Accuracy 80 // 77

The difference in maximum strength seems quite extreme, think I'll stick to the standard grid for this one...

So is magic dmg the way to go or will phy ever be viable? Since am about to fight Yunalesca ( and i have done som grinding) but my phy dmg dealers are no way near the casters, its at the point where i am only using them as meatshields since casters are WAAAY better dmg dealers.

First, physical and magical damage was balanced out a bit in version 1.2. Second, with a max party on a zero defense enemy physical attacks average around 75,000 per hit, Ultima averages around 50,000 per hit.

I should also add that the damage balance is at its worst around the Seymour Flux, Sanctuary Keeper, Spectral Keeper, and Yunalesca fights. However, if a character is heavily optimized for strength it is possible to deal about 3,000 to 5,000 damage per quick hit at that point.

Hm, hello there, LandonRay, ~~i'm your fan~~
Thanks for all your rebalance mods, kindly, they are awesome!
I'm kinda concerned about previous poster with stats comparing info.
Is this mod intended to play at standart grid or expert? Or expert intended as well, just would be harder? Don't want to stuck on superbosses forever :no

A few points...

The Standard Sphere Grid does make the game easier, but it isn't game breaking.

The patch is intended for the Expert Sphere Grid, but certainly works with either. The Expert Sphere Grid is balanced around a max party. As of v1.2 I believe (this is off the top of my head and may be slightly inaccurate) there is 96 Strength and 104 Magic on the Expert Sphere Grid. There are 5 Strength Spheres and 2 Magic Spheres available in the game. This results in keeping physical attacks, spells, Aeons, and Overdrives viable late game, instead of having the game devolve into spamming Quick Hit.

That said, I realized some people might not like the alterations to the Expert Sphere Grid, which is why I left the Standard Sphere Grid unaltered.

Keep all that in mind when deciding which Sphere Grid to use, and have fun!

Hey LandonRay, will you update this patch or it's the "final" version ?

There is a decent chance that this (and maybe even the NTSC-U version) will eventually receive additional updates.

is it because it's already patched with jap voice so that's why it wont be patched with punishment..

for me it patches fine, but when the little boys would do the zanarkand sign it crashes.

it's a good iso because i can get past that when it's not patched.

oh well, im not fond of the english voices either, but it'll have to do

Thanks you for your help! I'm using latest pcsx2 but 1.7 still not work. I'm on 1.3 and it's good enough for me. Random battle are more difficult than boss but it's really fun.

Thanks to LandonRay =)

Hello all,

I have been modding FFX International version and I'm finished with my difficulty mod that makes the enemies tougher and act faster in battle. When making the mod I had the mindset of not making the player grind any more than one normally would - still making the game more enjoyable by buffing the enemies and making bosses harder. I'm kinda new to these forums and I was wondering where should I post this mod so people could try it out?

I think making a separate thread in Development Discussion would be the best way to go.
