FFT: WotL - Tides of Fate 1.3.1.3v

Hi. While I was updating Valeria 1.5.3, I also worked on some 1.3 mods too. That's why it took so long to update lol. It took me a while to decide whether I should work on 1.3.1.3 Beta 5 which is the last update from Dr. Bretto or 1.3.1.0 which is considered last stable update.

After playing and comparing both versions for a while, I decided to work on 1.3.1.3 which has some interesting developments for higher HP fight with traps. I'll start with only ability re-balance related to damage factor and hit rate so it won't affect the game mechanics significantly. I may need to revise some abilities like Chant to 100% revive rendering Phoenix Down useless to 140 faith based so zodiac compatibility will play bigger role here.

I must say 1.3 isn't really my cup of tea with my experience from both PSX/PSP releases. I dislike how archer has so many abilities to manipulate status effects making mages kinda useless. They can also hit hard and can cancel charging skill from distance too. It's very annoying but I'll maintain 1.3 elements as is for the first release. You can read changelog below for changes from 1.3.1.3 Beta 5.

Please let me know what you guys think about it. Since there's no successor who'll maintain 1.3 mods for WOTL anymore, I'll try to improvise and improve based on received suggestions and testing for better gameplay.

Not sure if this will last long, considering 1.3 was pulled from FFH by request of the guy making it. Granted, it seems like he's nuked his own site and stopped caring about the mod forever ago...
  • Modding version: Other/Unknown

Windows X

Yeah. It's been years since this project was abandoned so I tried to tidy up his legacy a little bit here.
