Just a question, where abouts do you find the Kjata materia in this mod? I couldn't find it in the Sleeping Forest like in vanilla, and I didn't find it in the Forgotten City either. Have I missed it somehow or did you change the location entirely?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it in the Sleeping Forest after all. I must have just missed it the first time I looked!

I'm not totally sure, I had Always Run, Increase Sense Limit, and Lucky Tifa on. If I had to guess I'd say it was probably Lucky Tifa. It made her a bit OP anyway so it was probably good to turn it off!

Hi there!

I've really been enjoying this mod so far, but I've hit a snag and realised something might be wrong with my installation. I'm almost at Junon and ranked up my characters for the first time, but I noticed that the sources weren't increasing the stats as much as they weren't supposed to (Only +1 instead of +5). I briefly looked through this thread and found out that it might be an .exe problem, and realised I've been running the normal FF7.exe this entire time (I'm using Tifa's 7H + the Steam version of FF7 and it was running FF7.exe by default). I saw that I was supposed to be using ff7_en.exe from the IRO zip file instead, so I tried to use it. But, when I try and launch the game through 7H with that .exe chosen instead, none of the mods are running anymore, including your New Threat mod. It also doesn't recognise that I have a save file and tries to open the thing up through the Steam launcher, which doesn't seem right.

Do you have any idea what might be wrong, and how I might fix it? Thanks!

EDIT: I just realised I might have been using the right .exe after all since your readme for 'Which EXE to use' says to use the FF7.exe for a 7H game conversion. But that still doesn't explain why the sources weren't working properly! Perhaps I didn't have the mod down far enough in the load order? I tried moving it down to the bottom but that didn't make a difference.

EDIT EDIT: I think the problem was I had a Gameplay/Tweak mod running from 7H. I deactivated it and now the sources are giving the right values. The only issue is that I didn't notice this when I first ranked up Cloud, Barret, Aerith and Tifa.. but I guess I can probably save edit to fix that.

well if Wutai_Chan came back to re-release his gameplay mod i would use that. however since since he stoped that project due to him claiming people not getting involved to test it the link is down and cant be found. as for any other difficulty mods i recommend playing the game as it is first before considering using a difficulty mod.

Well the problem is I've already played the game 'as it is' to 100% completion like ten times in the past There's only so many times you can play the same thing before you want to consider amping up the difficulty to make it refreshing and new! I did say in my OP that I had played FF7 a lot in the past.

I don't think I'm looking for something absolutely masochistic now. I'm not a big fan of having to grind for hours on end to be able to beat a challenge. But something that ups the difficulty level enough to make it refreshing particularly at the endgame might be nice!

General Discussion / FF7: Recommended difficulty mod?

« on: 2012-11-27 17:30:10 »

Hi there,

I know there are a bunch of difficulty mods scattered around for FF7, I'm just wondering if anyone has any personal recommendations on which one is actually worth picking up? I just beat the game again today and well.. it was just way too easy for me now. I've played it so many times in the past that I know every little trick and materia combination. When you're able to do over half a million damage per turn and the highest HP an enemy in the game has is one million HP, there's only so much challenge you can really expect to face

I'd appreciate any insight into mods that might make a replay more of a challenge. I want all the effort I put into maxing my characters stats and materia actually seem.. necessary in order to beat the games final bosses. As it stands I was able to beat Ruby, Emerald and Sephiroth with Cloud as my sole party member and poor Yuffie and Cid taking a permanent dirt nap >_>
