    Writes solidification:

    You ever ask yourself, “Hey, we have a Japanese-only FF4 set for WSC.  Why not something similar for FF6?”  No?  Well, now you don’t have to!

    SPX stands for I have no idea, but it introduces some new bosses and apparently changes up the dialog considerably.  There are some balance tweaks, and overall it’s a harder experience.  Everyone is weaker except Stragus’s Blue magic, which is significantly stronger.

    But it has nothing on BA Edition, or “Balance Adjustments.”  Short of making a pure kaizo game, this is probably the hardest FF6 hack out there.  Almost every boss in the end-game has some gimmick, and, wow, are there hordes of new bosses.  And Mogu’s Dances now function similarly to Final Fantasy V’s !Terrain from Geomancers.

    In both versions, there are no Esper level up bonuses, and a few spells have been modified, removed, or added.  Good luck!

    Achievements for SaGa 3: The Ruler of Time and Space – Shadow or Light have been released courtesy of TheMysticalOne and solidification. Click on the box art to access the achievements.

    Writes TheMysticalOne:

    Join a ragtag group of orphaned heroes from the future (plus one childhood friend from the present) as they mix crystals, transform, and summon their own past, present, and future selves in an effort to save their time from…frankly a swathe of horrifying eldritch abominations and a terrible flood caused by what appears to be a giant pot in the sky. Can they change their future?

    SaGa 3 is a remake of the Game Boy game–released as Final Fantasy Legend III in the US–that updates the gameplay to be more in line with the rest of the SaGa series and adds all new events and systems.

    This exciting new set published by TheMysticalOne and solidification is sure to entertain you for hours!
