    Says hack author El Forko in an RHDN submission here:

    This mod provides a fairly substantial overhaul to the mechanics, items, spells, and monsters of Final Fantasy 4, while leaving the world and story intact. My goal was to preserve the general feel of the original game, while making the battles and resource management more interesting.

    • Character stats have undergone major changes: Defense and Vitality have been vastly improved and a single Evade stat has replaced the other defensive stats. Magic Defense is now a single stat that mitigates a percentage of magic damage. Will now determines how strong Summons are in addition to White Magic.
    • Levels and XP are gone: your characters now have the same base stats throughout the game.
    • All weapons and armor have been redesigned. Equipment is now the only way to boost your characters’ stats, and choosing your armor provides more flexibility in how you prioritize and build your characters.
    • All enemy stats have been adjusted, and some enemy behavior has been changed.
    • The physical damage algorithm has been rewritten.
    • The power and cost of all spells has been adjusted, cast times have been removed, and some spells have been altered in other ways. Certain spells are now learned from NPCs.
    • The end-game experience has been changed to be a bit more open-world: the Sylph and Summons cave are now about as difficult as the Lunar Subterrane is, and the optional bosses have been redesigned.

    This mod was designed to be a bit harder than vanilla, but not a crazy hardcore level of difficulty.

  • Party Changer Mod Released

    Romhack of Final Fantasy IV (SNES)

    Says mod author Whitenoise81:

    This mod is for others who wish to mod FF4 and freely be able to change party members without them losing their stats or equipment. This does not change anything else about the original game. Be aware that although things look normal on the surface a few things had to be switched around behind the scenes to get it to work correctly.

    (Credit where it is due) This mod was created using the old Shadow Mod from Phoenix Hacks, Grimoire LD’s event instruction skip mod, as well as PinkPuff’s amazing FF4rkster program to create a full party change aboard the Lunar Whale after beating the Babil Giant. It could not have been done without these things as well as some technical help from Chillyfeez of the Ultima discord server.

    Simply walk onto the panel on the right side of the ship below the right exit. It will ask if you want to reset the party. This will remove everyone but Cecil from your party and instruct you to exit and re-enter the ship. The exit and re-enter is necessary to refresh the npc’s on the map.

    All of the characters that were ever in your party throughout the game are available. It is also easily possible to get Dark Knight Cecil and Child Rydia with a few modifications.

    The dummied battle commands have also been restored for good measure.

    You can find the hack publication on RHDN here.
