I totally forgot to give my completed War of the Lions remaster to the FFHacktics community. Not that anyone actually cares...
But here goes anyways!
First thanks again to all those that created the means and tutorials for modifying one of my favorite games. I truly appreciate it. Had a great deal of entertainment just doing the balancing and whatnot, let alone playing the changes. Interesting enough, I've found that a lot of my ideas were already utilized by others, like in the Ivalice Reborn mod. But I DO believe I've managed to introduce some new concepts and attacks.
All the monsters have been changed up to have a very specific theme. For example, behemoths are extra tanky with defense/arcane defense up. Bombs have lifefont. Goblins have mana shield and manafont, making them very annoying to deal with. ETC ETC
I also rebalanced the items so that none are ridiculously strong/weak anymore. Each type of weapon will still have a use for various reasons. I also altered all the battles so that each chapter will have growing synergy from enemies and their abilities. The lucavi battles should be especially fulfilling, as they now have global attacks and variety an how they can beat you.
Here's a list of what I've put together job-wise for those who want to see, rather than learning through in game exploration...
