To Creoyo, the current patch is a bit too hard (nearly impossible). I'm reworking things for the next version so that it will be possible. Basically enemies are faster, hit harder, and survive longer.
To XtraT, that mod isn't available because I haven't finished modifying enemies. Currently I'm using the PC version with Colly's Battle Hardcore patch and my re-balances mixed in. I could reverse engineer a series of modifications for the re-balances, but it would be designed to be used on the PC version in conjunction with the Battle Hardcore patch.
Chrono Cross (suggestion)

Yeah that's what I figured. FF8 would probably be one of the hardest FF to balance due to how easy you can break the game. Still, you're probably one of the best suited to balance it.
And since you seem to mod all the games I like, what about Legend of Dragoon?

For Legend of Dragoon (this also applies to Xenogears) the problem is that I've never actually played the game, so I don't have any plans to modify them. However, someday I might need to pick up a copy.
If anyone is interested in a re-balance for the PC version of FFVIII, let me know.

Make sense. Was must mentioning that game because with the proper tools it'd be pretty easy to balance number wise.
And if you need some testing for that FF8, hit me up. I'll youtube it.

Sounds good! I'll get to work on it as soon as I get the next version of Time's Anguish out.

I threw this together last night. It has a few changes for FFVIII. I haven't test it.

Edit: I accidentally increased the max level caps instead of giving those enemies fixed levels. I'll fix it later tonight.

Alright, so your patch is Colly's plus your changes right? I have to apply Colly's patch then yours?
Also, think it'd be possible to just make Meltdown and the invincibility items much weaker instead of giving them a low hit rate, but still an OP effect? Seems like you could just overcome these nerfs with resets.

If you want to use Colly's patch with my modifications then you should apply his patch first, mine second.
Vit0, Aura, and Invincibility shouldn't be in the game at all. However, reducing the base hitrate of the statuses will help balance them until I can implement something more effective. Altering the base functionality of a status effect isn't a viable option.

Ah ok, that's because you said in your Read me that the patch was designed to be used with Colly's. I'll just use yours then.
And yeah, I'd personally remove Meltdown and Hero Drinks if you can't change them, but that's your call.

Here's the next release:
http://www.mediafire...cjqhd824ok2phg4
My patch doesn't contain enemy stat modifications yet, which is why I recommend using Colly's mod. An upcoming release will contain modifications to enemy stats and some AI alterations. The problem is that it will require extracting, patching, and recompiling each enemy's data file in order to fully install the mod. That's around 150 files...

Alright, take your time. I'll wait for your own release before playing since Colly's doesn't balance things enough to my taste, and most of your current changes so far have been more towards the end of the game.

Thanks for replying and I highly recommend play the Xenogears, as good as the Chrono Cross
