Final Fantasy III: FF6 US hard challenge is a fan-made hack for the Super Nintendo version of Final Fantasy VI. It alters gameplay mechanics, limiting characters to a maximum of 999 HP and 99 MP, while increasing the experience required to reach level 99 to 10,000,000. Additionally, equipment no longer grants HP or MP bonuses, but offers enhanced protection against status effects.
This is a challenge hack for Final Fantasy 6 US version 1.0. I’m not sure if 1.1 would work or not. This also requires a header for the rom.
I decided to work on this some more.
1 or 2 characters can have 999 HP and all characters get 99 MP, also note in this version, you don’t get hp and mp + % from equipment anymore.
I also modified the exp table, so you’re now required to get a lot more exp than the normal FF6.
Check the readme for more information and updates planed for future versions of the hack.
This small update is for the 3rd year since I made the first hack.
Have fun and if you spot any bugs, PM me on the forums. ;)
Edit: Lenophis pointed out to me that the EXP table I put in didn’t wouldn’t let you get to level 99. Anyway this lowers the EXP needed to level 99.
FF6 Hard Challange V 1.1B
This is a patch for the Final Fantasy 6 V 1.0 rom. Please don't use with the japanese version.
What this patch does is changes the hp and mp evolution where you can't get over 999hp or 99mp. Don't think you can get by this with the esper bonouses ;) I have fixed that.
Max hp gain is 939
Max mp gain is 89 for each character.
Max hp = 939 + characters starting hp.
Max Mp = 89 + 10 mp. (each character has 10 mp at level 1)
I've finally changed the exp table for this version, Leveling starts out fast, but gets very very slow towards level 99.
Due to a bug in in Version 1.1 you couldn't reach level 99!
This patch makes it where you are required to get 10,000,000 exp to level 99.
Thanks for Lenophis for pointing this out to me that Max EXP is 15,000,000.
The equipment that used to give you HP and MP + bonus have had some changes so they won't do so anymore, but provide better protection against spells and status effects. Though the descriptions are now lying, so it will surpise you.
Coming soon:
- Enemy stat changes to make the game a little more difficult.
- Change exp and GP gained from every monster, they will give you 75% of what you normally get.
- Make it where espers will give you less stat boost per level up.
- Lower MP cost of spells and epsers, due to the fact that some spells and espers require more than 99 mp.
