Hello,
I have played and beaten all of your hardtype hacks. I thought they were fun. I wanted to thank you for releasing hacks like this, as I am the worlds biggest fan of FF2. I am now getting into your FF2 Impossible hacks. I have had no problem progression through the game so far, but before I invest too much time in it, I was wondering if these impossible hacks are actually possible to beat?(one of them also had a bug to where you couldnt make it past the first auto battle in the opening scene, but i re-did the patch and fixed that) I am asking because I am only interested in it for the challenge, if there is no dialoge text change. I have beaten FF2 US over 50 times so I already have the story memorized. So, please let me know. It seems completely possible to me that you could beat the game without gaining any EXP, as you only need 1 HP to be alive in battle. I just want to make sure, since the title of the hack says "impossible" You rated the hack an 8 out of 10 (the ver I am playing) in diffulculty, so this leads me to believe it is definitly possible. I recommend you make a 10 out of 10 diffulculty (but still possible to beat) hack in the future for hardcore gamers like me who need a real RPG challenge. I like playing bosses that kill me 5x before I beat them. I don't even think I died 5x total in any of your hardtype hacks. One of my greatest challenges was defeating Omega in FFV, in all Japanese. I had the game imported with a convertor for my SNES way back before it ever came out on the PS1 in america. So, I had to play in all Japanese, and it took me over 100 hours just to figure out how to beat Omega. It took me 500 hours to master the entire game. Now, that is a real challenge. The first step in making a real challenging hack is taking my advice below-
(First a little about me.....)I am a hardcore RPG fan and my first RPG ever was FF2 us...so I started out on a good note. There has been no game to this date that has even come close to this one. My 2nd RPG was the 7th Saga, and that was a kiddie game compared to FF2 US with no weapons or armor. You're probably wondering....so I'll explain. Since it was my first RPG and I was just a kid at the time...I had no idea about "equipping" weapons or armor. So, in other words, I managed to beat the entire game without equipping any weapons or armor. I always wondered why the game was so much easier the 2nd time I beat it. Anyways my suggesstion to the owner of this forum is to make another hack of FF2, to not allow the player to equip any weapons or armor on ANY character. Also I would recommend making the enemies a lot harder, and raise MP values for spells. Also take out ALL either items from the game, as I did not use those either. Limit the amount of Cure potions you can carry to less than 25. This will provide the challenge of a lifetime, and if one could discipline himself to do these things on your own (don't use any either items, don't buy more than 25 cure potions at a time and don't equip anything) you could at least turn FF US into a very challenging game.
Well let me know about that US impossible ver. I just want to claify that you beat it already.
PS- I just downloaded the US Insane hack. How do you rate the diffulculty on that one?
