Should be in the documentations download, on the front page; the document 'balancing' has a list of them. In-game, Beginner's Hall in Sector 7 and Junon also lists them. I'll post them here too:Oh sorry, I meant a list for the level up options. In the balancing doc, I see the options for Cloud:Spoiler: show
Sweet.
It should proc from Cover, it behaves like other counter Materia. Vincent's Limits had an adjustment so that they alternate between the physical and the magical attack, with some base power adjustments.
tl;dr - Is there a way to confirm that I'm actually playing in Arrange Mode?Yeah the difficulty curve for arrange mode is kind of weird. I’m still not fully sure why, but I think limit breaks might be part of the reason. I literally one-shotted the Cave of Gi boss with Cloud’s Climmhazard. And Tifa trivialized a lot of midgame boss fights because her limit breaks hit like a freight train. The hard fights were mostly at the beginning of the game (when limits weren’t developed much yet) and at the end of the game (when bosses finally had enough health pools to compensate for the high limit break damage). That all being said, most of the end game boss fights are really great. I don’t want to spoil too much, but a lot of them had awesome mechanics that you couldn’t just brute force your way through and made for really interesting fights.
I'm certain that I picked Arrange Mode when I started my game. And various boss encounters like double Air Bombers and having to fight all three Gunners at once on the Shinra HQ elevator seem to confirm that selection. But I noticed a sharp drop in difficulty after leaving Midgar. At first, I attributed it to unlocking the Rank Up system. Then I got to Jenova VECTOR and was very alarmed when she never summoned her two Vector Node adds. I found an LP of the fight on Youtube that was supposedly using Arrange Mode and v1.5 of the mod where the boss did indeed summon the adds and also seemed to have much more HP than in my own playthrough (15k instead of 10k in mine). Although I noticed that the video I was watching was three years old which makes me wonder if the boss has been tweaked since then in some minor revision that the patch number wasn't incremented for.
So is there any way to be certain that I am indeed still playing Arrange Mode from within the game? Anything at all that would definitely be different? The only theory I have regarding how it could've gotten switched is related to the fact that I initially started playing on normal mode, decided I wanted more of a challenge, started a new save on Arrange Mode, and then shortly after leaving Midgar was right when I saved over those original normal mode save slots with my Arrange Mode playthrough. I have no idea how the mod tracks which mode each save is supposed to be so that's just the only wild guess I have about how a switch might have occurred assuming that the Jenova VECTOR behavior I'm describing isn't normal.
Besides this weird difficulty curve that may be the result of a bug caused by my own actions, I've been mostly loving how the mod makes the game feel fresh and even more polished than the original ever was. Based on what I've seen of Remake, I don't expect half as much out of that, especially given that it's gonna be a trilogy that won't be finished for years.
I had a look into it and seems that the song set up for it doesn't loop midway for a little bit like the PSX version does, but DLPB's R06 has that loop added in to make it last the correct length of time. I've added that track to the Main Installer + IRO.Awesome thanks!
I'll sort those two things you mentioned in the current 1.5 build, I'm putting a patch together in lieu of a 2.0 release (had to delay it, was rushing it and things have been disrupted a fair bit with everything that's going on).Sounds good. And in regards to the Mideel memory sequence, will this update have the correct music play when Sephiroth gets thrown into the Lifestream? Square messed that scene up for the PC version.
That's not quite right; what I've done is change it to use a combination of stat growths from level ups and the Source upgrades. In the current build you get a flat +5 to every stat regardless of the upgrade but that's been replaced by the Level Up growths coming back. The SP system itself was retired so that upgrades now come at fixed intervals (after beating a boss/story milestone). I also revamped the menus for it so that you can pick which characters to upgrade and leave others until later + see what everyone's current rank and the max threshold is at any time.Ooh nice. Sounds similar to Chrono Cross star level ups after major events/bossess. I imagine it'll be easier to maintain a sweet difficulty curve with this system as well.
Newbie question: when morph-ing I only do damage in the double digits (start of the game, just reached Costa del Sol). Is this normal damage or is there some way to make morph more effective? Because as it is, I have to waste several turns to whittle down about 100 damage as about then every attack outright kills. I have not tried it yet but if gravity is percentage damage (of *current* hp) it could help, the problem is that so many enemies are immune to it.I believe the weapons you get from Temple of the Ancients give full damage morphs, so that should help a bit. They have limited Materia slots however.
Hello everyone!Awesome work. One thing about Cloud’s innate. I remember reading that he gets +50 STR/MAG when a Limit is used, and then that boost slowly deteriorates over time. Is that not the case anymore?
I know I've mentioned this a couple times in the past, but the time has finally come...
To be clear, this document is still a work in progress and is not nearly as complete as I'd like it to be. This only covers Final Fantasy VII - New Threat 1.5!
I've worked with Sega Chief on validating the data and will continue to validate as I work on this. Please take the time to review the document, see if you like the formatting, and if you spot out any errors or have suggestions, shoot me a message either on Qhimm (personal message works best to keep the forums on topic) or on Discord (my info is in the doc). Alternatively, you can use the comment feature on Google Docs to point out an error/suggestion to me as well.
If you see any text in red, this indicates that I need to confirm the data is accurate, or I have found something that needs to be changed and will get the info over to Sega Chief in bundles to prevent a ton of mini changes being made. Much more productive to make large scale changes!
The tabs that are complete, but can always use more sets of eyes to validate are as follows:
- 1.5 Changes & Features
- 1.5 Passives/Base Stats/Source Point Options
- 1.5 Limit Breaks
- 1.5 Weapons
- 1.5 Armors
- 1.5 Accessories

There is still a lot of work to do here to get everything ready. Need to add locations for items/materia/enemy skills/etc...Expect more to come in the following weeks.
Thanks!
Yes it is!Awesome thanks. And I beat Tseng a while ago, but I don’t think I saw Pulse Ammo in my inventory. I’ll double check when I get the chance.
X-ATM Core is gotten from fighting the X-ATM Scorpion thing over by the Corel Reactor if you have Barret in your party.
Micro Engine and LuvLuvG are gotten by going through the Dark Cave
7777 Needles is gotten from the Kaktuar in the Purple Materia Cave
Pulse Ammo is won from Tseung when you fight him in the main story in Disc 2
Dark Matter is won from Cait Sith's sidequest boss
Pile Banger and Pile Bunker are the same thing
Dark Cave was a sidequest scripted to take place in Midgar. It's a bit rough around the edges.Sounds cool. Is it a dungeon to explore?
No.Gotcha. Any tips or items I can use to make morphing easier?
Yes.
Guidebook, Morph a Ghost Ship in the Underwater Reactor tunnels (the ones where fish are visible).
Yeah could probably do that.Thanks, that would be great. That scene is one of my favorite moments in the game and the music is a big part of why.
Thought this mod was cool but OP is a bad person. I just spent 4 hours at the battle arena in the middle of the night with only 60 gp on disc 1 because I COULDNT GET FREE GP FROM MOG HOUSE and the other games werent awarding gp fast enough for me. I won the first round and got 11k battle points. I then proceeded to lose 3 rounds to status lock(theres a round where theres 2 mps who inflict stop and a robot who inflicts sleep and they all use magic attacks for some god awful stupid reason) only win 3k bps in 1 round and then ran out of ferning healing items and couldnt leave the battle arena, so of course with no remedys or echo drops left I get silenced in round 1 of my last attempt while wearing a touph ring. GIVE ME MY CIRCLET! I STAYED UP ALL NIGHT FOR IT! I EARNED IT YOU F@!$%^! ALSO REMOVE ALL THE STATUS SPAM AT ONCE! ITS INFURIATING! I was waking up my neighbors screaming at 3 am at how often the status procs were happening in the battle arena. Im not coming back to this site, just had to let mod author know I want to punch him in the face right now for this multiple hour 15.7k bp BULLSHIT! RESPECT PEOPLE's TIME d*ck! MAYBE DONT PUT CONSTANT STATUS EFFECTS IN A MODE WHERE YOU CAN LOSE YOUR ITEMS AND MAGIC randomly! WHY WAS I ALWAYS LOSING ALL MY MP RIGHT BEFORE THE STATUS SPAMMING ROUND? WHY WERENT THE MOBS ROTATING? YOU ferning RIGGED IT! fern you apricothole. Was enjoying the mod til you pulled this stupid sadistic bullshit you fuckstick. Now it's uninstalled and I'm making sure people know this mod is rng-infested cheating trash. I hope your christmas is awful for this. Ruining my christmas eve with your bs.Dude take a chill pill. And you realize what you complain about is in vanilla right?
Elemental, in the Armour, does this for each level:Ah gotcha. So stacking a bunch of elements on a weapon may not always be the best idea. Thanks for all the info.
1 Star: Halves elemental damage of the paired Materia's element
2 Star: Nullifies elemental damage of the paired Materia's element
3 Star: Absorbs elemental damage of the paired Materia's element
4 Star: No additional effect (Master)
Unfortunately stars have no bearing on the weapon, so a 1-star elemental in the weapon has the same effect as a 4-star in the weapon; it adds the paired Mareria's element to your physical attacks (does not affect Limit Breaks as these are like a 'spell' with their own attack data).
You can, however, stack Elemental Materia in a weapon. So if you had Ifrit + Elemental and Shiva + Elemental your attacks will have both Ice and Fire properties. Bear in mind though that resistance overrides weakness; if the enemy Nulls Fire but is weak to Ice, then your attack will deal 0 damage. Even worse, if an enemy Absorbs Fire but is weak to Ice then they'll not only absorb the attack but absorb it for 2x what they normally would.
When you touch a save point, SP accumulated to that point is allocated to the active party. Other characters not in the party get half. Characters that join later in the game have 1-3 ranks 'free' to catch them up. Level affects damage dealt, HP/MP, and steal/manip success rate. It also affects magic accuracy but there has to be a wide gulf between character and enemy level for it to really matter.Sweet thanks. Do bosses also reward SP? Or just normal encounters?
