Do you feel like you know everything there is to know about Final Fantasy VIII?
Do you feel like the game is just TOO EASY?
Do you know many game-breaking tricks that make the game boring?
Do you enjoy dying over and over, trying different strategies, failing and crying?
Then this is a mod for you!
The goal of this mod:
- Significantly increase the difficulty of the game, where knowing these game-breaking tricks is no longer game-breaking, but necessary to progress!
- Force the player to know the strengths and weaknesses of each enemy and play accordingly
- No changes to how the enemies work, their resistances or weaknesses. Original game mechanics kept intact
- Require the player to think more, use various strategies, junction properly to stats, use various magic a lot more
- Make enemies much harder, better, faster, stronger
- Require absolute mastery of the game, min-maxing of stats and magic
Changelist:
- Significantly upscaled all enemies and bosses base and scaling stats (Like seriously, this is harder than the hardest mod's Omega Extreme)
- Downscaled player stats
- Decreased the effectiveness of strength
- Increased the effectiveness of magic (to encourage more magic use)
- Increased the effectiveness of Vit/Spr (to encourage more strategic junctioning to defense)
- Removed the ability to escape from ANY battles (to force EXP gain and enemy scaling)
- Removed the Enc-Half and Enc-None abilities
- Removed the Card ability (To prevent EXP avoidance by carding - Card mod is still in the game and its use is strongly encouraged!)
Tips:
- Do NOT underestimate enemies
- Enemies scale very hard with levels, farming is not going to go very well
- Save on multiple slots! Sometimes you might go past your chance of drawing / refining a strong spell or gaining too much EXP making enemies too strong to handle and you won't be able to go back if you overwrite your save file!

So far this mod only works with the english version of the game.
Compatibility with other mods has not been tested, I suggest you play without any other mods.
Final words:
I've had a lot of fun making this mod. Only Disc1 is finished so far and I am continuing on working on this mod and will finish the rest of the game too! I just wanted to post the mod to get some playtesting and feedback from you guys! I would LOVE to hear from you. If you happen to record or stream your playthrough of the mod, just pop me a message and I will definitely stop by to watch you struggle! (nyehhehehe)
