https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJvSDJ5rRr8 Hi. While I was updating Valeria 1.5.3, I also worked on some 1.3 mods too. That's why it took so long to update lol. It took me a while to decide whether I should work on 1.3.1.3 Beta 5 which is the last update from Dr. Bretto or 1.3.1.0 which is considered last stable update. After playing and comparing both versions for a while, I decided to work on 1.3.1.3 which has some interesting developments for higher HP fight with traps. I'll start with only ability re-balance related to damage factor and hit rate so it won't affect the game mechanics significantly. I may need to revise some abilities like Chant to 100% revive rendering Phoenix Down useless to 140 faith based so zodiac compatibility will play bigger role here. I must say 1.3 isn't really my cup of tea with my experience from both PSX/PSP releases. I dislike how archer has so many abilities to manipulate status effects making mages kinda useless. They can also hit hard and can cancel charging skill from distance too. It's very annoying but I'll maintain 1.3 elements as is for the first release. You can read changelog below for changes from 1.3.1.3 Beta 5. Download: https://www.mediafire.com/file/0l2tflt55zcrcht (Clean EUR ISO only) Please let me know what you guys think about it. Since there's no successor who'll maintain 1.3 mods for WOTL anymore, I'll try to improvise and improve based on received suggestions and testing for better gameplay.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJvSDJ5rRr8 I used to try modding FFT 1.3 before and I admit I was too young to realize its mechanics and design philosophy back on those days. Those changes and ideas I pushed back then seem to be silly and stupid now when I know more about game mechanics after modding for a while. After modding Valeria project for years and made quite a stable improvements as true to vanilla re-balance, I hope I could contribute to improve FFT 1.3 WOTL project. Last update was beta 5 since 2013 and no update since and there were some inconsistencies that can be improved. I won't touch original mechanics DrBretto set and won't change the vision more than re-balance of certain abilities to be more manageable. My goal is to make the game being more tolerable to RNG and allow more possible strategies. I've uploaded my first video demonstrating some changes I applied to tutorial battle below. My intention right now is to make no changes to job stats which may affect strategies and difficulty, no changes to status infliction flag, range, MP cost, and speed of abilities. I intend to adjust parameters to scale better through the game and make RNG and some abilities less broken with some nerfs and buffs a little. The reason why 1.3 is hard and can be too punishing is some abilities being too effective making some battles too punishing. Re-balancing 1.3 can make the game less punishing and open more possibilities to try more strategies. Since I won't change core mechanics and job stats or even item, its soul of 1.3 shouldn't be tampered significantly.
