2.0 takes many elements from Tifarith V1.X but with many features added/changed like :

-Innate abilities : Like New Threat, characters have some innate could be passive (Barret has natural defensex2) or active (Cloud gains Strength in front row/defenses in back row).
-Balanced character's powers : In the former version Tifa was VERY overpowered, now she's still very strong (her limit breaks are a bit nerfed though, except for the first 2 ones and Final Heaven) but other characters, especially Vincent, got some buffs (in stats, but also his very good innate and his transformation's attacks now ignore defences).
-Most characters have not 1, but 2 "last weapons". For example, Barret may use the HP Punch based on HP ratio or the Crit Score which always grants a crit, or Cid may use the Mars Gospel which absorbs HP or the Flayer which ignore defence.
-Back Row only grants 33% damage reduction and some enemy's attacks (especially "Shoot" ones) are long range.
-Sadness now grants 50% damage reduction but is less accessible than before (tranquilizers are really rare and only a late E.Skill can grant Sadness)
-modified damage formulas : Death Penalty (now for one of Tifa's last weapon) and Premium Heart (now for Vincent's) formulas are boosted a bit, so get especially less weak than before when you have few kills or empty limit bar. Damage formula based on Materia modified too, as it is a bit too cruel (now 666 x materias instead of 1111)
-New bosses/minibosses : Many bosses are swapped or completely changed with new strategies, and other bosses, optional as well as mandatory, were added with often a strategy element to take into account.
-New spells/elements/E.Skills : Now every weapon has an element (Cut, Shoot, Hit or Punch) which could be strong or weak against some enemies. Earth is now mainly a physical element. Gravity does no longer percentage damage and is now a physical element as well. Limit is also an element in itself (replacing Shout) which some bosses may resist or be weak against. Physical E.Skills were replaced by more potentially useful ones (especially HealVortex or Magnify).
-Sense can work until 300 000 HP (In other words, only Emerald, Ruby and Safer cannot be sensed). Thanks to Postscriptthree for this one.
-Bonuses for summons : Except a few ones, they does not cause stats drop anymore, YET their materia bonus can be very worthy. Magical as well as physical summons.
-Story scenes addition : Disk 1 part features a small scene between Tifa and Aerith when you enter Nibelheim. Possible Tifa x Aerith date if you got more than 50 love points for both. Dialog additions as well at some part of the game.
-Additional sidequests : Additional sidequests (mainly for interesting weapons) are added at last part of the game.
-Added Northern crater areas : Inspiration from New Threat 1.5's Dark Cave. While navigating through Northern Crater, just before the separation you'll have to face Sephiroth's world of illusion, with 3 bosses in it increasingly difficult.

Difficulty adjustement : still progressive, but difficulty peaks (Whirlwind Maze...) are less violent, whereas the beginning of the game is slightly more difficult due to the new strategical things to integrate.
The most massive difficulty changes are at disk 3 : if 1st half (before the separation) is still doable right away, 2nd half of Northern Crater is way harder, especially the bosses. It is very recommanded, if not mandatory, to do some sidequests/grinding before going to it, as Safer is only a few inches from Ruby/Emerald (but there is a little trick, usable with Ruby as well).
Sidequests bosses themselves (mostly for lasts weapons) are not that difficult though. Ultimate Weapon is clearly buffed but the reward from beating it worths it.
Note also that if you're too lazy to do Chocobo Breeding, you can obtain the Desert Rose from the guy at Battle Square's stairs after having beaten the Special Battle.

Hello everyone

First, please excuse my possible writing mistakes. English is not my native language.

I made an FF7 mod inspired by NT. The story remains unchanged. There are some notable field changes though, but they do not change the whole plot.
Modified and added some dialogue as I feel it too, but again no revolutionary change.
Yuffie and Vincent are easier to obtain, even if they're still missable. Also, for both personal tastes and mod convenience, some side quests are delayed until disk 3.
Just for fun : added some love points for Tifa after Gold Saucer date if she is in your team at some moments. Consequences : love points needed to have the more romantic scene -a bit modified- under the highwind is a bit higher (but not hard at all to get).
I really hesitated to make a possibility to save Aeris but chose finally to do not, as it may edulcorate the story too much. She make some apparition after her death though, and not only in the sector 5 Church...
For the mod's name, it is just that mixing everyone's favorites waifus seems more appealing
But it is also because the field changes I made mostly expands their roles/friendship a bit...

Yet the focus is more on combat features. The main spirit here is to render this mod accessible for both beginners and veterans.
For this reason, you'll not see much difficulty change from OG at the beginning but as the game progresses it will be more and more complex/difficult.
This becomes visible at the 2nd part of Shinra tower, evident at the Temple of the Ancients.
Still, the difficulty progression is not totally linear, there are some "local" difficulty spikes -prepare to suffer before each Jenova/Sephiroth encounter- and hollows to break the routine.
The last 3 bosses are hard, especially Safer-Sephiroth himself. Still possible to beat without much grinding but part 3 is where you are really encouraged to do some sidequests.

It is not meant to be absurdly hardcore though, just sufficiently for the player to use his brain. Especially in boss battles where most have unique features, yet are not (except for the latests) HP bags.
That is, if you got swept by a boss but analyzed it, you should be able to prepare for next try and beat it without problem (you can even sweep a few if you're REALLY well prepared strategically) as theorically you have all the necessary stuff.
Grinding will help of course but that's not a sina que non condition. If you take the stuff on your way and do not flee all the normal battles it'll be OK.
But of course, I need some feedback because as I know my own game, I can't be totally neutral.

So, here are the main changes

New materias/spells:
-no more HP/MP pluses, replaced by def+/spirit+.
-Some materias have a slight change in stats bonuses/maluses. For example Barrier/Heal does not drop your attack/def/HP and enhance your magic/Mdef/MP since they does not use the magic stat (you're thus encouraged to give them to other than magic users).
-No more Exit, Poison, Mystify and Seal materia : most alterations can be now inflicted by enemy skills. There still are the "Transform" & "Time" materias.
-Cure and Regen are now separate materias.
-Some materia location/obtention changes, including early Enemy Away materia if you want to avoid annoying battles. Be careful to not abuse it though.
-Like NT, 2-Cut and 4-Cut are separate materias. Same goes for Slash-all and Flash.
-No more contain but now Ice4, Fire4, Quake4 and Aero4 spells. Contain is replaced by "Mako" materia with 2 new spells (PU239 and Nuke).
-Shield grants you a 50% boost in def/Mdef in addition of the statut.
-Wind, Water, Light (Holy spells) materias added.
-No Poisona spell : the Heal materia now contains White Wind (Laundry).
-Invocations now ignore defense (except for KoTR) and many cause stats drops (from slight to consequent) in order to rise a bit their usefulness.

New enemy skills : nearly all enemy skills are changed or replaced in order to be useful yet not game breakers.
-Some enemy skills ignore defense (but NOT pandora's box which works differently).
-Some physical enemy skills with different physical element (shoot, weight, shout) some monsters/bosses may be weak against.
-Some status inducing enemy skills (even Sadness/Fury, and many bosses can be afflicted by Fury...)
-Some stats boosting ones (i.e : big guard now rises your def/Mdef by 20% and gives you Death Force instead of granting you barrier/MBarrier/Haste)

Normally you SHOULD be able to learn most of them without searching a lot, as many ennemies/bosses got them.
Just keep the E.Skill equiped but theorically you should do it naturally as there is a battle where you are forced to learn one to defeat the boss and the spell is quite powerful for the beginning and learn rapidly other useful ones short after.

Character "roles" :
Even if I tried to keep the original spirit (you can equip anything to anyone), character's weapons give them some specific boosts (Vitality/Spirit for Barret, Strength for Tifa, Magic/Spirit for Aerith, ect.). Slight change for stats curves, too.
Some weapons diverge from the "normal" rule and may give some other boost (i.e. the umbrella gives strength/vitality to Aerith). Final weapons have some shuffle (i.e : now Yuffi's conformer -now materialist- depends on materias)
and their localisation are changed, except for Vincent one. You cannot obtain them until disk 3 (except for Cid's) but they're not difficult to obtain... Like NT you can obtain the Masamune, though only Cloud can equip it (can be considered his true final weapon) and the mean is different.

Limits Breaks:
Most stays the same, except for Mindblow (Magical inflict Confu) and Planet Breath (Regen/Wall).

Armor/accessory changes :
Changes were made to armor/accessory, generally to protect from an element or status. Some also protects from physical elements.

battle changes :
-Bosses remain but their stats, attacks, AI, weaknesses are changed. Bosses/minibosses added. All the bosses are more difficult than OG, from barely (Guard Scorpion, air Buster), to very, very frankly (The Jenovas, Hojo, etc.).
-Most normal enemies location are changed to feel more "logical", for example in the sewers you do not encounter Sahagins/Cesars, they are now on the Kalm/Chocobo farm beaches. Or now Gargoyles are encountered at the Temple of the Ancients.
As a consequence, many have now different stats, attacks and sometimes AI. Some are also rendered resistant to magic/physical attacks and got some weakness but they are not as complicated as the bosses, of course. New enemies sprites based on NT 1.5 added, too.
More "fair" rewards, difficult enemies grants more xp/ap and good items whereas weak ones stays the same.
-Special Battle in GS is changed, quite difficult but with 3 characters now. The reward worths it, though.

Other :

"Fight" is now a physical element replacing "Cut", as some enemies may be specifically weak to this. All melee attacks get this element.

Incoherences :
-For some reasons, replacing Barret's/Youffie's/Vincent's melee attacks elements by "Fight", even with long range weapon they're still unable to reach some far target. That's no big deal for the game, and the Long Range materia still makes up for it.
-For Cloud, the Masamune's sprite is just the Yoshiyuki one. <= Fixed!
-And probably some bugs or bad writing I didn't saw, do not hesitate to tell.

Feel free to formulate any (constructive) criticism or suggestion. This is my first mod so I guess it's far from perfect.
Even if you don't like it, I would appreciate your feedbacks.

Special thanks to

-Qhimm forums/wiki : soooooo many useful informations found there. To be frank, without it I would have given up long ago.
-Sega chief : His awesome NT mods inspired me to make my own. Many ideas from this mod comes from NT 1.5 and 2.0. The new enemy models comes from NT as well (I lack talent/patience to make them). He also assisted me with some obscure bugs in my AI programming and gaves me many useful files and tools (and always answering in short delays).
-Myst6re : Makou reactor is just a wounderful thing, simple, easy to use... At the beginning I was only intending to only make battle/kernel modifications but the tool was so cool to use that I finally did more.
-NFITC1: Proud Clod is also one of the most useful tool I've ever seen, changes are easy and even the AI is easily editable with some patience.
-NFITC1 again : Wall Market, same as Proud Clod, editing Kernel with feels so easy that... I corrupted Kernel2 sometimes because I was careless!
-petfriendamy : Scarlet is a very promising, user-friendly tool. I used it mainly for .exe edition but later I think I'll use it for battle/kernel edition too.
-Mav : Ultima the well named is the ultimate tool for testing modifications quickly, without worrying of redoing everything if you're far from a save point or have a party which does not fit to the battle/option you want to test. Call it a useful too is an euphemism. I regret not having used it before.
-Borde : Even if I lack talent with regards to graphism, his Kimera tool allowed me to easily adding some new monsters. In itself the tool is quite intuitive.
Credits for Neo-Midgar for the "comical" song modified based on one of his tune, he's a real artist. If you didn't know his channel : https://www.youtube.com/@Neo-Midgar
Credits for Iwannabethatspamguy for the artwork. Don't know him well but he seems good at it.

For now, there are no guide. If you have questions, you can ask me on discord, I'll answer when I can.
I'll make a guide later maybe.

Have fun!

[Superbledur]

And here is the first small update!

-Now Cloud can carry the REAL Masamune (replaced the Yoshiyuki's sprite)!
-Some boss battles mecanisms are now more explicit as they could be hard to guess first time.

[Superbledur]

And here it is... Not really an update but a different version of Tifarith Mod.
Thanks to Zakudosukin's feedback in Discord about NT 1.5 and 2.0, there is now the Casual Mod (links in original post)
If you don't feel very accustomed to FFVII mechanics there is now a possibility to play this mod without too much trouble.
All of Tifarith stays the same except that the monsters/bosses :

-Have a little less health (no need to downgrade that much, most of Tifarith's original mobs are not HP bags).
-Do less damage.
-Inflict less nasty status effects (or have less chance to inflict them).
-Have sometime less deadly spells.

Yet, this a casual mod, not an easy one. The strategies for bosses are still here but you have way more room for errors.
There is still the difficulty progression, it just starts and ends easier. Overall, just think it as a translation.
The difficulty is roughly similar to OG until Cosmo Canyon, after it is still somewhat harder than OG especially at the end, but not by too much.

[Superbledur]

First REAL update, v1.1 is now here!

Thanks to Lyessoz's feedbacks, small bugs, and more annoying ones (Ultimate Weapon fight in Midgar area crash, Life2 not reviving but functionning like Full-Cure and Quadra Magic in Mideel's materia cave instead of Mega-all) were corrected. He also found a glitch but I chose to let it, because you need to do some unintuitive stuff for it to happen, and it does not have much consequences on the game. Generally speaking, I consider that glitches like this make a game somewhat funnier...

Gi Nattak got a bit nerfed, as it was harder than it should be.
Factor influencing damage for final weapons are also now explicit. I thought that guessing this by weapon's name and experience could be fun but that may be annoying.

Thanks to James Aradel and Odysseus feedbacks and suggestions, Tifarith's incompatibilities with some mods (NT, SAC, Wizard Staff...) are now implemented in the iro file for 7th Heaven. Note that some User Interface mods like Enhanced Stock UI are compatible at the condition you place Tifarith higher in your mod list. I can't test everything though, so the forbidden list may not be exhaustive. Feel free to signal any weird things you see.
Note also that some mods like PostscriptThree may be compatible or not depending the option you choose (obviously, 3-slots equipment is not).
Sorry, I didn't made a proper .xml file first time, wasn't familiar at all with 7th Heaven before. As a result there is no proper way to make a patch for 1.1 version, you'll be forced to download the new version entirely. Should be OK for future ones, though.

And thanks to Zakudosukin remarks, I'll try to update the Qhimm catalog properly with functional links soon. Edit : tested, dowloads from Qhimm catalog seem to work correctly now.

[Superbledur]

v1.11 now here !

A big thanks to Zakudosukin for his expanded testing and pertinent feedbacks. Since it is a small update I cannot have taken in account ALL your remarks but the ones I haven't included here stay in my mind. So, for this version :

-Jenova-TIME get nerfed since it was way too hard. Still hard though, but now she does not drop your offenses, nor inflicts mass sleep with Clepsydra. Has now many weaknesses too. Same goes for the Hojo battles by the way.
-By contrast, starting to disk 2, Turks now cures themselves from poison if they have less than half HP. Poison-wait strategy is cool for disk 1 but after that it gets too cheap (not in Casual).
-Gigas Armlet was a bit nerfed : now +9 Strength instead of +20 (not in Casual)
-Bugged battle at the first part of Junon paths (After Lifestream sequence) were corrected.
-Now for 7th Heaven, you are explicitly invited to put Tifarith before some other mods like ESUI (thanks Kassius and Darthfleezus for having again pointed this matter).

For future versions :

-Sense don't work with bosses with less than 30k HP. That may be disturbing for some disk 2 fights. Will at least expand it at 65535 for next version.

-Unfortunately, the "bizarre Gravity materia" bug has not be corrected. Still don't know where it come from, hopefully that does not affect the game at all except adding useless materias, it's just ugly. Needs to be corrected in the future but meanwhile, don't panic.

-Jenova-THERMO is does not react to Fire or Ice items (like Arctic Wind or Molotov). That's too bad and needs to be corrected. More generally, items have been a bit disregarded in this mod, some could be rendered more useful than they actually are.

-Players are smarter than I expected and tends to understand the strategies quite quickly. I like this. As a result, I don't see much utility for the Casual Mod, I guess it will be put aside in the future (except if someone explicitly ask for it).

-Even in normal mod, the Temple of the Ancient bosses are way more easy than I wanted. In general, Tifa is very powerful, especially with her limits against physically vulnerable bosses.  On the other hand, despite being magically good, Vincent needs some stats buff to compensate his... Limited limits. All of this will need some rebalances.

-Physical E.Skills, except for 1, maybe 2, are not very useful. This may lead to a revamp with physical elements being applied differently (probably go back to the old system, but with some enemy weaknesses and physical summons or spells/materias).

-This mod needs some addition such as sidequests or optional events. Currently work on it.

I'm sorry maybe im stupide but the jenova after the temple of the ancients, I don't get what i have to do against it

[Superbledur]

I'm sorry maybe im stupide but the jenova after the temple of the ancients, I don't get what i have to do against it

Hello, don't be sorry and if you didn't manage to understand what you should do that's not because you're stupid but because it may be not obvious enough for casual players. My aim is to make this mod accessible for both casual and accustomed players.

Do you mean the Jenova in the Ancient Temple (Jenova-ATOMS) or the next one (just before disk 1 end, Jenova-WAVE)?

For Jenova-ATOMS you can't heal so you must end the fight quickly. Don't use Healing Wind! It is weak to physical attacks and in the Temple you got some strong weapons (Nail Bat, ect.), you can also get the Gigas Armlet which protects against Small and boost your attack further. So strategy here is to equip your strongest weapons, boost your attack power, protect against Small, maybe equip haste+all and fight, fight, and fight again.

For Jenova-WAVE, it is weak against Comet you just got, but casts Reflect constantly. Beware the Soliton attack (Earth/Water, can be a good enemy skill if you nullify or better absorb one of these elements). So here you must protect against Earth or Water, maybe against Frog and Confusion, equip Comet and Destruct, cast Comet, then destruct and repeat the process quickly because it heals with Soliton. Oh, and summons can help too.

If for whatever reason you didn't grab the Destruct materia in Nibelheim (it is hard to miss because Sephiroth litterally put it at your feets but one can still choose not to grab it...), there is one near a bed where your sleep at the Forgotten Capital.

thank you ! i admit i was this close to giving up but your mod is good so i had to try and get an answer. there's not enough ffvII mods out there so i appreciate you creating this (and putting a casual mod because i need it against the jenovas)

Thanks, if you want a quicker answer (especially during the week-end) if you got stuck again don't hesitate to go on discord. Indeed the Jenovas (and Hojo) can be a challenge. Just thought one thing : if you still play 1.1 version with ESUI verify your mod order because Enhanced Stock UI can mess up your stuff if it's put ahead (so this can render game even harder because you didn't grab some useful stuff at some moment).
Still, I like the irony of life : just when I thought I could drop the Casual Mod, you came. Guess fate won't let me indulge in my natural lazyness

there's a discord server for this mod ? it would really help cuz there are things i can't figure out like why can't I use the safe in the shinra mansion or why can't I get tifa's final heaven (is it because i skipped the flahback ?). also yeah lol sorry i'm fine with the normal tifarith but when it comes to the jenovas i have to go on casual ( and even then i never understood how i killed them).

Yup, there is a discord server for this mod. For your two questions : like I said in the first post, I delayed some sidequests for part 3 and the safe is one (Vincent and Odin can be obtained at disk 1 nevertheless, prizes and boss of the safe are very different from OG). For Final Heaven, it theorically does not change from OG : you have to learn every other Tifa's Limits and come back after Cloud returns and play the right tune (same as OG) to obtain it. If you have these conditions fulfilled and still cannot obtain it don't hesitate to tell.

There is no shame at being a bit walled by the Jenovas and since it's my first mod, it's important to have feedbacks from various types of players, at least that proves that the Casual Mod has an utility sometime!

[Superbledur]

Hello,

Thanks to Sentimental's discovery (and sorry for him for the problems he got), here is a very little update : v1.111 is simply correction of a rare but potentially very annoying bug. This will be quickly added to the catalog but meanwhile if you go back to Junon after Corel Prison, do not take the elevator (leading to the submarine area)! And do not go in the Kujata area before the Ancient Temple too!

I take the opportunity to annonce that a brand new version is in preparation, with new bosses, characters innate (a bit like new threat), some new magic/materia/enemy skills/etc., and some new features like a possible Aerith/Tifa "date" (sorry to disappoint some, but this is only a friendship one!) if you got sufficient love points for both at this point.

[SleepDeprived]

First off, really well Mod you have created, i've been really enjoying it so far, but i got some questions though:

I'm now nearing the end of disk 2 (just obtained the last materia from Rocket Town) and i wondered where you've hidden the Power Soul for Tifa since you replaced the original spot with something else if i recall correctly.

Also i'm in the process of breeding Chocobos and wanted to ask if u have somehow tinkered with the breeding and their requirements.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

[Superbledur]

Hello,

Thanks for your comments, next version is planned to be released soon by the way!

Good question and yes indeed, Powersoul was replaced by Safety Beat at Mt Nibel. In this version Powersoul is now a reward at the Gold Saucer for reaching 5000 points in the Speed Square.

Chocobo breeding is exactly the same as Vanilla, requirements are the same. But beware because some bosses guards materia caves, yet at your state of the game you should be able to get the Blue and eventually Green Chocobo ones.

Have a nice day

[Superbledur]

And here is it, Tifarith 2.0 is now available!

Quite late in fact, because I first aimed to release it early October but actually the disk 3 additions took me nearly 6 weeks (and would have taken way longer if it were not for New Threat scripts...).

Since it is an strong revamp, it is independant and thus not compatible with former versions. For detailed information with regards to modified features, see the first post.
No Casual mod for now, but I guess I'll do one soon in order this mod to be accessible to whose who don't want to shake their heads too much against some bosses.

Special thanks to :
-Like last time NFITC1, Petfriendamy, Borde, myst6re and mav for their so wonderful, useful tools.
-Sega Chief, again. For his battle models (including the new Jenova ones he made for this mod), as well as his code and graphical modeling straightforward, concise explanations. And of course, many features would not have been here if it were not inspiration and knowledge from NT 1.5/2.0!
-Odysseus : Script for Nibelheim scene come from him, he's also the one who suggested to take care of mod's compatibilities.
-Lyessoz : One of the first to test my mod and provide feedbacks (especially glitches). Really appreciate it because it's not easy to trust a brand new mod from an unknown new modder.
-Zakudosukin : Many good suggestions/feedbacks. In particular, the TifaxAerith date came after a discussion, and he's the one who suggested to add some dialogs at some point.
-Sentimental : The ultimate beta tester who spotted many former unknown bugs thanks to his curiosity. Very good suggestions and feedbacks as well, especially concerning bosses difficulty adjustments (so if you struggle against the last bosses, blame him ).
... And of course every other who tested former version and provided feedbacks. Was very lucky because I only got constructive and often good ones for now. Don't hesitate, I am not Schizo nor Yang and only have one brain, thus every constructive feedback helps!
