FFIX Unleashed- THE HARD MODE MOD

[Phubs]

I'm currently playing it on my Emulator... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is it insanly difficult. Just curious if anyone else out there has played it and managed to beat it without use of cheats. I'll allow Save States.
Here is a link. http://www.insanedifficulty.com/board/index.php?/forum/114-final-fantasy-ix-unleashed/

I beat it on the PS1 without the need to cheat. FF9 is probably the easiest mainstream FF title out there.

i don't think this game is difficult at all, except you're going for excalibur2.
if you have problems on a boss just level a bit or change your strategie.

i hope unleashed becomes a mod for the steam version

FFIX Unleashed is a mod that rebalanced the entire game to make it insanely difficult brotha.

Hmm, never heard of it.

There are some for FF Tactics too. You basically patch the image file with the mod. The rebirth mod for tactics was pretty awesome

It boggles my mind that anyone would call this one of the easier ones.

I have a hunch it's due to the series having basically the same battle system from IV to IX. FFIX has a few enemy abilities with a chance to one shot your entire party if you're unlucky if you aren't over-leveled, before you can take a single turn for a couple of the late game story bosses. The game is way harsher when it comes to reviving party members too. Tents won't do it, and zombie will prevent resurrection until it is cured first, for example.

Yeah it's a widely used site that specializes in rebalancing orginal classics for the master players. Most people can make it to about Gizamaluke's Grotto before wiping constantly. Even as someone that knows every angle of the game.

Be prepared for a completely new version of the game. I think one thing that stayed the same was the "Steals from Bosses" but they reduce every aspect of your health and what abilities you get from certain items. I.E. no more Auto reflect from the ring in first treno visit and no light absorb from the Coral ring. So you can't utilize the Grand Dragon exploit. And so on... it's worth it if you think you know your ♥♥♥♥.

All Blue magic's are different... some way more useful. And Zidane abilities and such. It's awesome. But frustrating as all hell.

Oh yeah lol, I was hoping to hear from someone that might have completed it... but knowing how insane it is I give a pass to anyone that used save states.
