FFT: WOTL - Valeria 2.4 "Ivalice Remastered"

[Windows X]

HI !
Im enjoying the mod so far and have a couple of questions.
I noticed Healing spells are kinda meh compared to items, my Cure spell heals for 24 on average, so do I need to get units with higher faith to cast those spells ? How do I get higher than 70 faith on generic units since you can't maipulate Faith/Bravery ?

Second question: in regards to the items collected from multiplayer mode, did you add them to the game world or they continue to be exclusive from those modes ?

Thanks for the great job !

Hi. I'm glad to hear you enjoy Valeria mod. Healing spell is HP percentage based so it will scale better over time. In early game potions will be very useful and you can use healing summon from Summoner for magic power based healing.

If you want to get stronger heal with cure spells, use Cura/Curaga can help healing better though White magicks will not be very powerful enough until later chapters. However, it heals with regen status so that's a lot with regen combined.

For multiplayer items, they're mostly broken items so I won't include them in main game for re-balance purposes. Even 40WP Chaos Blade was nerfed so bad and become Fellsword for Dark Knight job instead. You can get them from multiplayer mode with your friends or second save file if you want to.

Hey there, I love the changes made to classes in this mod and it's very good. However, and I know this may seem frivolous, the sound issue with the PSP where sword strikes, thunder, and various effects sound like shit makes the PSP version unplayable for me. I'm sorry I know it may seem ridiculous to some, but I simply can't truly enjoy playing it with these issues. Is there a way to fix the sound issue, or a way to play this mod on the PSX version?

Which PSP model or emulator are you using? To my ears it sounds pretty OK. Maybe you can try PPSSPP Gold with improved sound emulation?

When is the new updoot coming out? 2.0?! can't wait to bravely charge into it!

[Windows X]

Soon. I finished testing monster ability changes. Will need to run Dorter fight for a while and test mechanic changes with status infliction. Here's current design changes.

1. Status infliction from physical jobs like Squire/Knight/Ranger has 55% + MA hit rate with physical evasion. Meaning you can equip shield and cloak to decrease your chance of getting status infliction from them.
2. Status from Orator job will have 10% more chance to hit with magical evasion. It makes orator abilities hitting more frequently on monsters but can be harder on human with magic block.
3. Some status has duration ticks adjusted.

I'm still considering whether I should change others from faith based to fixed hit rate with MA bonus too. It's quite tricky to find the right balance for status infliction not to be too annoying or too inefficient.

The wait is over. Valeria 2.0 is finally ready for release. There's a lot of new changes and improvements since version 1.5.3 so I recommend you guys to read the topic again to understand new changes better. Here's changelog for version 2.0 since I can no longer add this in main topic anymore.

You should be able to edit that in. The edit button is at the bottom of the post for me.

[Windows X]

Thanks but it will exceed maximum text limit if I add those so they can read text file release for more details.

[yamtaro]

Holy fuck yes. Took me a min to comment but just wanted to say I've been waiting for this, refreshing this page every morning. Easily the best FFT mod for those coming back after many years, looking to re-experience the base game. It's as though windows X took the original work of the developers and completed the loose ends present in the design of the original game. Many common balance issues or underdeveloped ideas present in the original FFT have been addressed. A very satisfying mod to play and  deserves more praise than it's received thus far.

Thank you. Considering this is like over 20 years old game, it's quite amazing to have a few people keeping this game alive. I hope you'll enjoy Valeria 2.0 and feel free to share feedback with this release for future updates.

After big update with version 2.0, it seems some changes related to adding new monster abilities raised the difficulty in some battles too much. In Luso fight, I can use fast acting Ninja with speed bonus equipment throwing Shell to protect Luso.

However, it seems to be too forced and I don't believe in battle design to win with only one forced strategy too. So, I changed Luso's weapon to Defender which has Shell equip status and nerf Gigaflare to have around 70% damage instead.

I felt Gigaflare used by Arcanist being too powerful for a while with wide range, no MP cost, and instant cast. So this will be a good opportunity to re-balance Gigaflare as I hope for. I also nerfed damage Geomancy abilities a little.

It seems status buff/debuff in -ja tier abilities have a bit too long CT. Some of them are slower than original first tier abilities so I decreased CT a bit more to make them becoming more viable for situation that requires urgency.

Some also requested to nerf Monk's offensive damage buff a bit like Aura Blast but Brawler is no longer learnable so it can be weak without buff on other jobs. So I reverted PA Multiplier buff back older 1.5 version.

After playing for a while, it seems Samurai's early abilities are buffed way too high for starting out so I toned down power scaling a bit to match with level progression better to reduce power spike.

Since Defender is now equipped on Luso by default and Zalbagg fight will be in very late game, I changed reward from defeating possessed Zalbagg to Kaiser Shield instead. I hope you haven't reached this part yet.

After looking around for a bit, I also made some adjustments I forgot to do such as changing Death ability to have Doom effect with higher hit rate instead. White Staff will serve its purpose with Doom status being more active now.

Besides Death ability, I also nerfed hit rate of Burial and Reraise a bit as they don't have evasion. They still have considerbly high hit rate. I also added magical evasion on Samurai/Arcanist's offensive abilities for re-balance purposes also.

2.1
-Added magical evasion on Gigaflare/Nanoflare/Migardsormr and Samurai's offensive abilities
-Changed Death ability to inflict Doom status with hit rate increased (120 -> 140)
-Changed Luso's starting weapon to be Defender
-Changed Stall and Beg back to defaults with 5% bonus instead of 10% with magical evasion
-Changed War Trophy reward from defeating Zalbagg to Kaiser Shield
-Decreased CT of Protectja/Shellja/Hasteja/Slowja abilities (3 -> 2)
-Decreased damage factor of Ama-no-Murakumo ability (27 -> 24)
-Decreased damage factor of Ashura ability (16 -> 14)
-Decreased damage factor of Monk's offensive abilities by 1
-Decreased damage factor of Geomancer's abilities (8 -> 7)
-Decreased damage factor of Gigaflare ability (7 -> 5)
-Decreased damage factor of Kotetsu ability (21 -> 18)
-Decreased damage factor of Muramasa ability (32 -> 30)
-Decreased hit rate of Burial ability (65 -> 55)
-Decreased hit rate of Reraise ability (200 -> 180)
-Decreased PA Multiplier on Monk job (130 -> 125)
-Fixed Ranger's job and abilities description to show content in dialogue properly
-Increased Vertical Tolerance of Cyclone ability (1 -> 3)

Version 2.0 was a bit pressed on time and the was released before finishing all adjustments. This 2.1 release will cover missing parts I wanted to adjust before and fix some issues with 2.0 update.

What skills did you give gor Valmafra ? Or are they new abilities

What skills did you give gor Valmafra ? Or are they new abilities

She gets skillset from Cletienne with abilities based on multiplayer mission. Her stats are average but having Manafont+Swiftness passive will make her a great utility unit.

I can't get this patch to work. I've tried two different emulators and both versions of the patch. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm following the guide here: https://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=9379.0

You probably have the wrong region image.

[Dorkistan]

You probably have the wrong region image.

No I've tried them both, they both have the same result on two different emulators (screen just goes blank).

I'm able to load other patches just fine.

Well, the mod works, as i just tested it, so its definitely user error, just because it works with other mods doesnt mean there is nothing wrong with the image

[Dorkistan]

Yes I know it's user error, I'm looking for insight on what I might be doing wrong. Can you tell me what emulator you're using? For me epsxe and psx are the most reliable, so those are the ones I tried. If there's another you recommend I could seek it out.

Also my copy of the game is .bin with a .cue. Might I have better luck using a .iso? What are you using?

Thanks!

[Dorkistan]

It's a PSP patch.

User error indeed.

[Windows X]

Yes. This is WOTL PSP version. There's both USA and EUR version too.
