awww, really? did they just change some of the sprites and call it a hack? is there much new(or at least ripped for former ffs) stuff?
btw, are you info ff1 at all? if so, you should try out grond's ff world of chaos++. copied from the description:
This is a semi-sequel (or more like an expansion pack) for my previous
hack, Final Fantasy ++ (so if you haven't played that, then you really
shouldn't be playing this). At any rate, this is quite a bit harder to
beat than FF++, so n00bs beware. Also, one can consider this sort of a
tribute to classic SquareEnix (the way they were...). It includes adap-
tations of various dungeons from FFs 3, 4, 5, & 6, SaGa 2 (a.k.a. FF
Legend 2), and Dragon Quest 5 (along with a couple of new ones by me).
And, of course, lots of classic FF enemies are here for you to battle.
i did exactly what he doesn't recommend and i started with this game using one of the pre-supplied saves. i'm at lv. 29 and still fighting semi-weak enemies to get stronger. he really did ramp up the difficulty, and it's cool to see all these dungeons/landmarks(cultists tower, ff5 pyramid, full-size copy of narshe, the party's airship is from ff4, the tower in the town of edo from ffl2, darryls tomb- just fought a giant from ff4) on the nes. the guy did an amazing job on this, it's just really difficult. :)
