He will gain on average 14 more defense after promotion compared to before, giving him the best defense in the game by 2 points. He will gain on average 6 more attack before promotion compared to before. He won't easily learn Freeze 4 he learns it at 32 promoted. Freeze 3, which he gets at level 18 promoted, gives him a range 3 attack as a Wizard. Freeze 1 helps to cope with increased monster HP in the first third or so of the game.

This is to make up for the land effect penalty. Chester now gets 5 extra defense as a pegasus knight instead of losing 5 defense.The all boss battle at the end will be VERY hard. Most have roughly triple HP, greatly increased attack, increased defense, increased MP when applicable, and some gain new spells or have their old spells improved. Many healers have better heal spells, especially healers that used low level aura spells towards the end of the game.Melee monsters that incidentally have some spells have the same amount of MP. Dedicated casters typically have double MP.In the last few battles (Geshp and onwards), defense is typically increased by 20% to better compensate for mithril weapons and the stagnant defense values in the original game. Some have slightly higher defense increases, but then lower HP. Most monsters have had their defense increased by 10%.This generally yields a total attack increase of about 10%. Monsters that use weapons have had their base attack increased by 15-20%.Monsters that don't use weapons have had their attack increased about 10%.
#SHINING FORCE 2 ROM PATCH PATCH#
You can apply the IPS patch using a program suchĪs IPSWin or Lunar IPS patcher. AĬommon name for this ROM, and one that definitely works, is Shiningįorce 2 (U). Boost is also less powerful now, which makes it even harder to cope with the huge attack values of Super.Īpply the IPS patch to a. Some of the later bosses are already as strong or stronger than their super equivalents in the original game, and adding another 25% to their attack would make things crazy. But the hack was really not created with Super in mind, and you won't have very much fun playing it on super.

I have no reason to believe that the hack would be impossible on Super, especially if you do not promote at 20. Also don't do silly things like abuse the Fairy Village special stage, etc. The later battles in the game are slightly trivialized by late promotion, and late promotion makes all the prepromoted characters relatively less useful. The battles leading up to Creed's mansion, while doable, are difficult and tedious without promotion weapons. You can buy all promotion items from the item store in Hassan, should you need them before you would get to them normally. Whereas in the Hardtype hack Kazin was undeniably better as a Wizard than as a Soreceror, in this hack the choice is much less clear.įor the sake of balance, it is strongly intended that you PLAY THIS HACK ON OUCH, and PROMOTE ALL YOUR CHARACTERS AT 20, OR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. This is accomplished by increasing regular monster HP only by a factor of two, so that for Kazin damaging spells are usually more MP-effective than desoul. It was also important to me to make it so that instant death abilities, while still good, are not the primary means of completing battles. This should encourage much more diverse parties. Randolf and Eric are sufficiently improved that they are very good choices from Creed's. I tried to improve all characters to the point that nobody is dead weight. Chances are that only a few of the characters that you normally use were improved.

The vast majority of the weaker characters have been improved. Peter was the only character that was nerfed, and only slightly at that (aside from nerfs that came from nerfing certain spells). I have strived for balance in this hack, to make it so that your entire party remains useful throughout the entire game. There is also no level building at any point: Bowie does not know egress, and angel wings are not buyable. Boss monsters, however, are generally much more difficult, although sometimes their defense scores are substantially lower. Towards the end of the game, the regular monsters in this hack are generally much easier than those in the Hardtype Hack. However, it does serve as more of a middle ground between Super difficulty of the regular game and BigNailCow's Hardtype Hack. This hack makes the game substantially harder than the regular game. Version 1.01 (): Enhanced the difficulty of the Zeon battle.
