Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
This hack rebalances Final Fantasy 1 to give a more consistent level of difficulty throughout the game. The main subject of changes in this hack are the enemies, especially in the second half of the game. Many enemies are more vulnerable to status and instant death spells. All bosses have at least twice as much health, as well as improved stats and abilities. I fixed most of the bugs in the game; some were left in intentionally (such as the Invisible Woman and Wallbat), others were only left in only because I unfortunately did not know how to fix them. Most of these changes will be discovered as you play; This file only covers the changes to the party's equipment and spells. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In addition to the main elements (Fire, Ice, Lit), there are 5 other "elements": Earth, Stun, Poison, Time, Death. These were mainly used by spells (Excalibur was previously the only exception), but I gave them to a couple more items. Note that this does not mean they inflict any status effects with their attack, it just affects damage. Classes: Fighter(F), Knight(K), Thief(T), Ninja(N), Black Belt(BB), Master(M), Red Mage(RM), Red Wizard(RW), White Mage(WM), White Wizard(WW), Black Mage(BM), Black Wizard(BW) Weapons:
