I've just spend several hours on editing scene bin and "pumping up" difficulty of our good old FF7 on level that it should be from the beginning ;]
I've made it for my own purpose cause original difficulty was damn boring however i've decided to share it with other fans ;]
Don't expect much cause and feel free to have fun with it. I dunno how it'll work in farther areas of game so if anybody will use it so I would be glad if this person/persons would say what they think of it :]
Reasonable Mod v1.0f to 1.1 fixFor people who installed v1.0f and want to fix it.
Reasonable Mod v1.1For people who have original bin.
Installation
--Download and launch. Point patcher to your 'ff7\data\battle' directory and have fun--
Don't forget to backup your original scene.bin.
History:1.1
Fixed more bugs.
1.0f
Fixed all discovered bugs.
1.0
Added 'little something' for thiefs, morphers and treasure hunters :]
0.9
Fully updated game with standard drops/steal chances and items.
Changes:Altered difficulty 99% of encounters.
Only Gil and Level of enemies wasn't change in this mod so L4/L3 spells will work in the same old way.
Difficulty increment isn't equivalent to Exp/AP increase so you will level little faster than on original difficulty but enemies will be much stronger than exp/ap increase.
Added new steal/morph/win values. Some unique enemies will have random chance to drop some items after defeating so if you're lucky enough you should get it.
Several new enemies are now morphable, and lots of them have some nice items to steal(or crappy ;]).
Be careful... You could actualy lose in final 1on1 battle with Sephiroth ;].
I've chcecked at all my save files and it worked fine so I think that mod is ok.
Feel free to try and comment your opinions, thanks in advance.
