Due to overwhelming feedback, we've added forums for two new mods: Emmy's FFT Monster Tactics and Sega Chief's FF7 New Threat! You can check out their forums by visiting the forum index, and download the latest versions here.

Last week, I'm sure you noticed that the site was going up and down constantly for no good reason. It appears that the server that Insane Difficulty is hosted on was targeted by a denial of service attack. The following is the info I received from our host.


There was route based DDOS attack which was resolved, You can find more info on our resolved network thread :

The first installment of Ogre Battle: In the Lap of the Gods is now available! This release features 2 stages and will be updated incrementally as new stages are completed.

Check out the forum for download, information, gameplay videos, and discussion!

We are proud to announce the release of Brave New World 1.6.0, the primary feature of which is a new hack that disassociates esper gains from traditional levels. This means that it's no longer advantageous to keep your levels low before espers are obtained and you don't really screw yourself over by grabbing a few extra levels early on.

As has been mentioned before (on several occasions, but we actually mean it this time), this is intended to be the mod's final release, barring any bugfix updates, until 2.0, which will be a significant change and is a very long ways off. For now, Synchysi and I would like take take a little break and wish to thank everyone of the Insane Difficulty community for their help, love, support, and occasional favors of a sensual nature.
