Sup.

So, someone in a romhack thread I was reading the other day linked to this FF7 mod. I was pretty interested. Personally, I've never done any of the ridick challenge-modes people do with FF7. For some reason it just never really appealed to me. I guess it's probably just me being lazy.

That being said, I was really excited to hear about this mod because I actually would like to play FF7 with a higher difficulty. So far I've played up to 7th heaven, and I gotta say, if it keeps up at what it's at now, the game might actually be revived with me (I mean, I've played it through god knows how many times, gold chocobos and all that jazz).

When it starts out, you're taking a decent amount of damage from enemies, and it takes a bit longer to kill them. It gives you about 20 or so potions to start with, and Barrett starts with Steal, so you can get grenades and shit from the enemies in the first area.

So, get to Guard Scorpion, haven't grinded at all, just sort of going through. They changed his search scope move to something else--using the same animation. Now, it does damage and inflicts stop most of the time. The battle actually took some effort, and I had to heal quite a bit throughout.

Gonna play more, but yeah. Has anyone else tried this? Does it get even harder or does it balance out a bit?

Is this hack actually good?
