There aren't currently any methods of altering Card Refining Items are there?
There aren't currently any methods of altering Junction Bonuses are there?

If there is a way to nerf Junction Bonuses that would be ideal.  Also if there was a way to alter card refining would be nice (i.e. 1 Samantha Soul from Quistis Card instead of 3).
 
Hi,

While playing the Steam release of FF8, I noticed I know too much of the game and there is no challenge in replaying the game.

While a user made difficulty patch might increase the fun. I was wondering how this was made and whenever it is possible to have a mode in which enemies are 50 or even a hundred levels higher than player characters?

I tried making all characters 100 LVL at the start of the game, which while did heavily increase the difficulty, it was all for nothing when I ran into the first boss, Ifirit, who's maximum level was limited to 10-20 something. So I am also wondering if manually increasing a bosses level beyond their maximum will automatically increase its stats?
 
recently downloaded the steam version of ff8 and have done the tonberry eden mods etc but I cant get this hardcore patch to work ive extracted the hardcore folder into my steamapps/common/finalfantasyVIII folder and ran the program but it has not made a difference to my game, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
 
So I finally got this working - and I can tell because I checked some vids on YT and saw Ifrit's HP is about 400 points higher in this than the original - but it's not that hard as of right now.

Or did the mod not take into account Triple Triad? I haven't grinded like a madman for TT cards and stuff like I did in the "Requiem" mod but I'm still packing Aga spells and the like.

I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me if there's a difficulty spike? Maybe it's because I've been comparing this to Requiem a lot but things feel so much...simpler right now. I'm only at Timber so maybe there's more of a difficulty curve in this than Requiem, which started off crazy hard and only got worse, but I'd like to know if anyone here can tell me if things get significantly harder at some point?

Oh and I am on Omega Extreme.

I just discovered this Mod while i was looking for a FF8 psx mod.

So, what do you guys think of this Mod compared to Requiem Mod ??
Is it balanced and difficult but reasonable ?
and finally, did this mod just touch enemy stats or some character too ??

Thanks :)

I'm gonna be trying this mod this days and I'll give you an answer as no one has yet
 
Is there a way to install this with steam version? I tryed putting the hardcore folder in the root of the game and running the progam and it says the  patch is applied but it does nothing, i tryed to look the bat files and they apparently try to search for "battle.fs" in the data folder but the battle.fs is in lang-en folder here... also is the .exe "!ff8fs" supposed to do something else than opening and instantly closing? I'm not sure what i should be doing to make it to work.
 
Hi guys,

I just added installer for Steam version (link in the first post). You have to paste correct link to "lang-en" folder. I haven't changed anything except adjusting to Steam version.
 
hi, i played this game on Omega Extreme and i finished it yesterday.
The First Boss, Ifrit was not easy, El Viole was also not easy, but the first challenge was for me to destroy complete the X-ATM092. I needed a few tries and i had, when i destroyed him, only 1 minute left to go to the beach. It was very close to reached the beach before the time is over. After this boss, the most enemies was easy and some bosses was maybe average. The next challange was for me omega weapon. It was also an interesting fight and I thought he would not die anymore^^. I needed 3 tries to beat him and (of course) i don't use methods to make my chars immortal, like the hero flasks or rinoas ability to make the chars immortal. I never used selphies tombola either. I think i needed round about 30 minutes to beat him. Thanks for the mod :)
How much HP have Omega Weapon on Omega Extreme?
