Final Fantasy 8 is a very divisive game that tried to revamp the formula, yet it was half-baked because of unsavory decisions by the developers, as it made the game potentially way too easy to break and way to tedious in certain instances.

Well, no more!

Available for both the 2013 PC Re-realease and the 2018 Steam Remaster Re-release, this mods improves upon the base game significantly, rectifying what was wrong with the gameplay and progression structure of the original.

I heavily recommend to read the changelog.

A 1.3 version is also in development as of now.

    Nice, they fixed the annoying level scaling of enemy, it’s so easy to make the game too difficult if you didn’t stop and grind spell sometime, because you’ll be leveling up too quickly.

      I found the trick was to steal spells from the enemies and then run away. Get a bunch of water spells, link to your attack and you’re a monster at like… level 3.

        Yeah, actively running away after draining a few time is the best strats for the game. I used to play normally, fight every encounter and leveling up, but that end up with a lot more grinding for magic at the mid of the game, so i restart and only kill some of the enemy, maintaining low level, and beat ultima weapon easily.
