I'll fix any other bugs that may crop up, but if I ever develop this mod any further it won't be for a long time. I appreciate everyone who gave it a try and left their feedback.
There were a few major things I had wanted to add before hanging this up, but in the end I chose to implement only the one I wanted to do most. I didn't say much about the content additions added up to this point, but I wanted to elaborate on this one a bitand talk about FFXI.
I've also added a version compatible with the Switch version of Remastered. It's identical to the PC version with two exceptions: the FFVIII_EFIGS.dll edits and the Angel Wing ability. Since vanilla Angel Wing would be far too strong in this mod, I changed the ability to instead give Rinoa a few buffs, including Double. I've also changed certain things about the "Sorceress" (phantasm)'s AI to accommodate this change. The Switch version's folder structure is made for Atmosphere.
This is really late, but as for what you're supposed to do with the Aberrant Keys...

Once you've bought the Seven Virtues item from the secret shop (located here btw), you can use it to fight Virtuous Weapon, an enemy based on the NM Absolute Virtue from FFXI. With this fight I attempted to translate certain FFXI mechanics to FFVIII.
FFXI's enemies auto-attack until they've built up enough TP, their primary source of which is being attacked by players, to use a special ability. The fight with VW works similarly, with different player abilities contributing different amounts to VW's "TP" total. When "TP" reaches a certain value, it will use one of its special attacks. I also gave it a way to build some "TP" on its own to help keep things interesting.
In FFXI, when players combine their weaponskills (TP-consuming special attacks tied to the weapon the player is using) in specific ways based on their elemental properties, they can create a Skillchain, which deals additional damage to the enemy. Similar to FFXI, VW is able to trigger Skillchains when using its abilities in specific combinations within a certain timeframe. Due to movelist limitations I've only adapted three types of Skillchain; however, the combinations are true to FFXI's Skillchain chart.
Finally, each class in FFXI has what's called an SP Ability or 1-Hour Ability (formerly 2-Hour), which aresupposed to be powerful exclusive skills with long recast timers. Absolute Virtue could use many of them, and so can VW. I've adapted several to FFVIII (though in the end I had to use a couple that Absolute Virtue doesn't) and VW will use one such ability at specific intervals or under certain conditions. There are 10 total.
The reward for beating VW is three GFs: Siren, Diablos, and Doomtrain. I've given them the following properties:
Siren: Non-elemental damage that inflicts Silence and Doom; heals the caster; highest HP of all GFs.
Diablos: Deals Spr-ignoring non-elemental damage; stronger than Bahamut.
Doomtrain: Poison-elemental damage that inflicts most status effects in the game, including Death and Curse.
All three come with the GF command and Siren and Doomtrain come with Boost while Diablos has Boost+.
There were a couple of things I wanted to do but couldn't. The first was to give it an altered version of the beach battlefield that resembles Al'Taieu. The second was to give it the following Scan description: "A notorious monster from a distant world. Its strength is impossible to gauge." With regard to the latter, I couldn't implement it because VW replaces the Garden Faculty enemy, and by default its Scan description is "NOT A TARGET." as with almost all enemies you're not meant to Scan and I couldn't fit anything longer than that message. On that note, there is a minor bug with VW: when it uses its normal attack, there's no sound effect. I assume the game assigns enemies' basic attack sounds based on the number of their c0m file and they didn't assign Garden Faculty one since it doesn't attack. I tried to find a solution to this but couldn't. It's annoying, but oh well. (Actually, I didn't notice it until after the fight's scripting was more or less finished because I usually playtest with the sound muted.)

You go to Trabia Canyon. The word spelled out by the Key items is meant to be a hint. Glens and Canyons are both types of valley.

I replaced a few items with enemy-only attacks because of limits on the number of enemy abilities. If you're looking for a strong defensive item, try using Wall Stones.

I released a small update that fixes an issue in which using a Scan Stone on Seifer would cause a softlock. This is the only softlock I was able to find in the fight in question. There is also a fix for the remaster in which a sidequest was accessible too early.
https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy8/mods/6
https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy8remastered/mods/12
Just thought I'd put this out here in case it helped any other modders. I fixed the softlock by unchecking this unknown flag here: https://i.imgur.com/DfLUQ4T.png
It's checked on the spell version, but items can be funny like that. Checking or unchecking the flag didn't seem to affect any other enemies I tested, at least with regard to the Scan Stone. The enemy versions of Seifer are just kind of volatile - he's a problem child even in mod development.

Hey there,
i am currently playing through the mod and I've been enjoying it so far
Sadly i am unable to continue. I am currently in the second laguna dream and everytime I try to defeat the onslaught of enemies at the cliff (specifically 2 elite Esthat-Soldiers and one Elastoid i think) it crashes the game.

Thanks for letting me know. Replace your battle files with these: https://www.mediafire.com/file/v5c1lbxwvj92ws8/battle_1-19-22_%28all_versions%29.7z/fileIt includes files for all versions of the mod.
Whether the game would crash upon killing the Elastoid was inconsistent - I've definitely played through that part without issue and I know others have too - and I couldn't find any problems with the battle-specific scripting for either enemy. Hell, Elastoid's death AI only changes a variable and forces it to die. I could only conclude that the enemy formation itself was the issue, so I replaced the Elastoid with another Eliminator and slightly lowered the odds that they'll use Boomerang Sword.
I'll release a proper update later.
EDIT: Update 1.5.4 / 1.1.4 is out.

Been getting this one as well. It says Unexpected Error. Have played the older version before and I was able to get past the Esthar Laguna Dream. Gonna wait for a fix to this error in this lovely mod!I have encountered another error in my playthrough.

Sorry for the wait. I'm not sure what's going on - even reverting the script to its vanilla behavior still causes a crash when it transitions to the Junction screen. For now, I changed the type of Junction used. You can use these field files to fix it (they're for the 2013 version - doesn't seem to happen in Remastered).
I'll release a proper update later.
