I made this hack off and on over several years, at least 6 I want to say. I had it sitting on my PC 90% for at least 2 years lol. But I finished it and made a torrent.
1.)Every single character, enemy, item, and ability has been rebalanced or remixed. OP jobs/characters like Cid have been nerfed, while weak jobs like Geomancer have ben buffed. The goal is to make every unit balanced and fair. Most jobs have Defend and Re-Equip as innate abilities. Some of the shittier passives that never get used are thrown in as passive abilities (like cup of life on the white mage). Enemies have all kinds of craziness going on, no more borring ass battles with nothing but the most basic knights and archers. The purpose of this hack is to be challenging but fun.
2.)While this is not meant to be a frustating hard hack, overall the difficulty is higher. Though some fights that were hard in the original are actually easier now (certainly less annoying). The final Boss is much harder, as the late game gets too easy in the original. The units that appear in each battle have been changed, you will now encounter pretty much every job type throughout the game (just because Ramsa doesn't have any units of a certain kind why wouldn't the enemy?). There are even new enemy units such as Red Mage. Some OP abilites have been removed, like blade catch. Ninja can't learn double sword but he does have it as an innate ability.
New abilites, new monsters, new challenges. Countless annoyances removed: Fell Swords are obtainable in the normal game, Marach and Rapha's abilites do not animate on miss, slow down removed, Cloud doesn't require the materia blade, Dark Knight is unlocked by leveling B Mage and Knight to 5 (plus the 20 kills), Ultima and Zodiark can be obtained with JP, etc...
The important question is.... is Dancer viable now?
Carter Bennett
Did you fix the sound effects and the slowdown?
Adrian Wright
Fuck. Something weird happened with the torrent. First time I ever made one. My own file was only at 99%, like that makes any fucking sense. Here's a new one.
>Like where Anywhere I don't have to create an account. Since it's such a small file you could use tinyupload.com/
Brody Clark
Fuck. WoTL completely ruined every single sound effect in the original game because it doesn't reproduce the reverb that was on literally everything in the original.
I can't find a clip of WoTL but you can compare it to your emulator.
This bothers the hell out of me and I've never seen a fix for it. I find that it makes the game unplayable, especially when magic sword skills sound completely awful.
Thanks. I'm trying to seed myself. I'm with spectrum and it's supposed to be high speed but the upload can be pretty shit...
Jacob Williams
got youtube vids of your gameplay?
Liam Johnson
I'm getting decent speeds from 3 different peers
Nicholas Flores
Nope. Just finished it today. Had it 90% done for 2 years though. I've played through it multipe times on my own.
Xavier Russell
thanks anons seeding at 12MB/s until I Hit 10 ratio, good shit
Noah Johnson
Op, two things: Please tell me it's not a virus
And if its not (and if you actually fixed the slowdown), give me your adress to suck your dick
Connor Gutierrez
It's just an iso file. Just stick it in an emulator and let it go. Nothing to install. Nothing to unpack.
Bentley Nguyen
i have a playstation emulator in my cellphone, it should work, right? im asking because the playstation one is the original final fantasy tactics, not the War of the lions. Does it has war of lions dialogue or original dialogue?
Adrian Cook
PSP.
PPSSPP for android runs like a dream.
Bentley Murphy
Have you tried submitting your hack to romhacking.net.
Joseph Garcia
Thanks. Always wanted to give Ramza a dark knight job for maximum edginess and follow Gafgarion path (also to be the opposite from Delita). Sweet irony though because Delita is supposed to be the ""bad"" while being a holy knight and Ramza would be the ""good"" while being a dark knight
Parker Barnes
Do you have a detailed changelog?
Angel Parker
>read the changelog inside the torrent >it's just Op's text Oh c'mon, i expected to read stuff like "knight attack increased by X"
It's alright, I do like your idea of expanded innate/passive abilities though. You should submit it to romhacking.net or ffthacktics.com. And provide a change list.
Joshua Wright
No. Too much work. I changed literally every single variable in the entire game.
Noah Martin
Yeah I have to get around to making the patch first. For now I just uploaded the whole ISO. I'm currently playing it to celebrate.
Austin Nguyen
upload to mediafire or that pomf thing
Landon Morales
Sounds pretty gud, will download and play after work
Luke Perry
This looks neat. I've never played FFT before though, but I've got a good amount of experience with the genre. Would this hack be suitable for a dry run?
Justin Anderson
Share it with /vr/ too
Levi Johnson
Thanks for sharing op. Last time I played war of the Lions must be something like nearly 10 years ago now. I had an itch to play it again and this'll make it a fresh experience, looking forward to no lifing it this weekend
Ryan Rivera
I think so.
Ayden Lewis
Upload this to mixtape.moe or MediaFire or other crap.
Why a torrent? For what purpose?
Kevin Ramirez
My torrent won't die.
Hudson Ward
Can someone upload the ISO to pomf or something?
Adam Thomas
My experience with FFT1.3 and similar hacks have convinced me that every attempt to rebalance/"correct" the difficulty means making everything retarded hard, nerfing all the jobs that I liked using, and making the game unpleasant to play unless you know the battle/stat mechanics inside out.
Convince me that this is not the case in yours.
Brody Baker
Let me know when it's not uploaded to a site that wants me to install things.
Isaac Martinez
OP really should do it unless you want another lostboy
Benjamin Taylor
How did you make this hack? Did you use some kind of program? What kinds of changes are made to the AI?
Kayden Hernandez
I think OP would have to make a stand-alone patch for it, and for now it seems he only has an already-patched ISO.
Dylan Johnson
Thanks for your work, user.
It would be nice if you were creating threads here or on /vg/ on a semi-regular basis because it's hard to give feedback without actually playtesting it.
Or at least say in what /vg/ general we could leave our thoughts on your mod.
Justin Rogers
NICE. do you accept donation my nigga
Kayden Howard
lostboy?
William Young
hownew.ru
Brayden Brown
I uploaded to media fire and whatever else: No AI changes. other than giving them more stuff to work with. I used lots of different programs.
I'll be around.
Haha no never even considered it. I just love tactics.
Grayson Watson
not new at all just out of the loop on random thing. it happens m8.
Easton Baker
torrent stalled at 50.7%
Zachary Watson
bro it had a sticky for like a week its wasnt just a passing thing you "missed"
Owen Baker
I'm still seeding keep trying.
I made an email you can message me feedback with. No goatsee plz
So this is the full game with the patch already applied? Nice. Today OP was not a faggot.
Blake Morales
I really love FFT/WOTL, and it's really cool that you put the time in to update it like this. I'm not sure how much you care about exposure or credit, but you should try posting it in some other places too, if you haven't already.
Robert Hall
OP, obviously you know about major romhacking forums. Have you posted there and if no why not?
Josiah Davis
First I have to make a patch, since those guys won't let you just post full .iso's.
I also have to make accounts since I tend to just lurk on everything. That's why I like Sup Forums, no membership needied. I'll get around to it though.
Andrew Bennett
Did any one just say fuck the main characters and make your own party full of CaC?
Gavin Thomas
I fucking knew you posted here.
Luis Brown
Hey can you chuck this up on Emuparadise or something? I look forward to it.

Justin Gonzalez
Op what you do to monk? I assume you didnt change much with him.
Ryder Jones
I don't want to spoil all the changes, I'd rather leave things like the good old days before the internet when you had to figure stuff out on your own and fumble around, so I'll try to be thorough and vague at the same time.
1.)New enemy classes, but no new player classes. 2.)New, stronger monsters. 3.)New abilities for the player and enemies. 4.)All items rebalanced. Much more variety. Greater variance of elemental effects, ranges, etc... Fell Swords appear in the normal game now too. Less OP gear. 5.)All classes rebalanced. I want every class to be viable. Without boring you with the stat changes, here are some interesting examples: ‣Holy Knight skills cost MP and have charge times, as well as new stats and effects. Cleansing strike for exampe "cleanses" the target of all positive and negative magic effects, so you may very well choose to target your own characters with it. ‣Samurai skills cost MP and have a charge, not all of them will break the Katana anymore, and a lot of them use different damage formulas (press select on them to learn more). ‣Most classes have reequip and defend as innate abilities, this helps characters with lots of elemental gear, like pole users. ‣Weaker passive abilites are innate abilities to add novelty to certain jobs, examples: Ramsa - treasure hunter, w mage - cup of life, Beowulf - beastmaster, Thief - Treasure Hunter + Sticky Fingers + Concentration, Orator - Beast Tongue, Mystic - Ignore Weather, Geomancer - Waterwalking + Lavawalking + Ignore Weather, Samurai - Doublehand, ‣cloud doesn't need materia blade ‣Not only are Rapha and Malik good, their mantra don't animate on miss so they don't take all damn day ‣Some classes use different gear from before. ‣OP abilites like blade catch can't be learned anymore... but the enemy can still have it (the AI doesn't abuse it like the player does).
Gavin Allen
6.)Every battle is more interesting. The second battle in the game has a geomancer and a Ninja. Onion Knights and Dark Knights will show up through the game, in addition to every other class and the new ones I alluded to before.
Carter Richardson
any torrent or media fire links ?
Jeremiah Campbell
Yes, read the thread.
Jaxon Green
One of the new monsters I added I'm pretty proud of...but I don't know if I want to spoil it or not... I really do think it's going to catch people off guard. I'll spoiler text it:
It's a gargoyle. it starts the match petrified, and I wouldn't be surprised if a less experienced player mistook them for environment because they first appear at one of the castles. I placed the chemist far enough away that if you kill him before he gets to them you won't have to fight them, but he's going to try to remove petrify from them and unleash them.

Joseph Thompson
Nice
Hudson Parker
do you have some hack for Tactics Ogre too?
Kevin Moore
Sounds pretty cool, you should probably upload this elsewhere besides Sup Forums, otherwise it'll languish in obscurity. Stick it on moddb for instance, there's a semi-active FFT mod scene over there.
Angel Harris
Color me intrigued OP.
Dominic Baker
Also I recommend FFHacktics for the upload space
Nathaniel Roberts
I don't think I have a PSP anymore (but i guess I could probably figure out how to hack my Vita covered in an inch of dust) but do I have to worry about the notorious slowdown that plagued WOTL, or is that fixed and/or not a problem on an emulator?
Joseph Garcia
man this thread needs to be fixed for some time, this is great stuff
Caleb Bell
Have I understood that correctly? I just download your file and can then use use it with any PSP emulator without complications? I'm rather new to emulating games so what PSP emulator would be recommended?
Charles Gutierrez
PPSSPP is the only emulator worth using to my knowledge.
Sebastian Sanchez
op please respond
Isaiah Edwards
I am not OP but I do mod from time to time (mostly Thief/Morrowind/Titan Quest/NWN), and your attitude seems a bit strange to me. I don't think modders are obliged to convince you of anything. The OP made it, came here, shared it, and you are lazy even to download it and try it? Again, not speaking for OP.
Adrian Miller
Did my favourite game just get better?
Colton Nelson
whats that form?
Dylan Johnson
Quite the opposite I think? As a player I would need to download a fairly large file, install/load it, and then play it for a couple of hours before I know if my fears are warranted.
Instead I'm asking ahead of time: These are the concerns I have with most mods. Can you convince me that your mod does not fall into these problems?
Sample answers: - I've played 1.3 and their difficulty is BS because they do X, while I do Y so it's nowhere near that bad. - I've nerfed job X, but no so it's unfun. E.g. Job X can still do Y but it takes more Z, which is more balanced when you compare it to Job A.
Does this change anything with the level scaling and stat growth?
Those are my only gripes with the original.
Leo Rivera
Never played the game but always wanted to. Should I start with this modded version or the real thing?
Wyatt Richardson
by the sounds of OP's description saying "Every battle is more interesting" which includes having classes from later in the game, I'm gonna guess it's not good to start with and was made for folks like himself who have played the game a lot.
Jordan Reed
is there anything like this for Tactics Ogre?
Landon Howard
was there always a samurai in second battle?
Connor Taylor

I forgot how addictive this shit is
Brayden Gonzalez
Worse than that, I see an Eleven using BitTorrent. Fucking BitTorrent in $current_year.
