@CybeleVG Год назад

T Edition is absolutely incredible. I played it at the start of last year and the additional content, slight character additions, balance changes, and difficulty made my favorite game shine in a brand new, and often even better, light. More attention on this brilliant hack is lovely to see!

@Caspicum Год назад

I've seen a couple videos on T-Edition, a few from my JRPG brothers, but it definitely needs a harder plug, it's crazily good.

@nickfarace9339 Год назад

I was super sucked in for the first 2/3 but the end starts to be rough around the edges. I know I opted to use rewind on a lot of later fights instead of just blowing time powerleveling instead. I personally liked the tweaked base character sprites the most. The adaptation to the original art was incredibly well done and honestly those sprites are better than the pixel remaster ones.

@youtibbles2546 Год назад

love T-Edition, and also prefer the 2.9.7 version (with the costume changes by ngplus and the music fix, to play on a real SNES/FPGA system)

@MaxTale Год назад

Two romhacks I really enjoyed are the Golden Sun Reloaded ones. They take Golden Sun 1 and The Lost Age and do a lot to rebalance them, they have higher difficulty than the base game and make replaying the games feel like a fresh experience. It's basically an improved vanilla experience for people looking to replay the games but not wanting to do exactly the same as every other playthrough before.

@Caspicum Год назад

That's sick, I might have to look in to those. The only Golden Sun one I saw in my travels was a Jenna replacement mod, where Isaac's swapped out for her in the first game. I feel like we get enough of her in the second game.

@erwark Год назад

Another vote for this. There are lots of balance changes behind the scenes. Magic damage and resistance aren't so heavily reliant on stacking Djinn now. This, plus equipment and class tweaks make multi-element class comps more viable mid-game. Definitely forced using defensive buffs etc for bosses without being brutal.

@danagray9709 Год назад

I feel like the only thing I want from Golden Sun is that they complete their damned story. Yes, I'm still salty.

I don't know anyone who still plays old games and it makes me sad, I love these games and I prefer them over most of the new ones. So seeing people still playing these classics and making rom hacks for them makes my day. Great video!

@Caspicum Год назад

Yeah, I'm not huge into new games. I find the occasional hit, but for the most part, they feel soulless. Old stuff hits me in a way that new stuff can't. even Dragon Quest 11 was a fantastic game, but if I wanted a comfy DQ game to screw around in, I'd go 1-8, maybe 9 if I was feeling adventurous.

Discovering awesome rom hacks is like discovering delicious new spices to your favorite food. It can change a game you love into something even better or add cool content. The GBA Fire Emblem games have an ocean of awesome rom hacks that could fill a whole game store just with them alone 😮

@Caspicum Год назад

Straight up, I dig the GBA Fire Emblems but I'm not familiar enough to really appreciate a rom hack. I swear, half of the entries on the romhack website were Fire Emblem, and that's insane.

@garrettfuller9628 Год назад

@@Caspicum I can understand that. Fire Emblem rom hacks are definitely for those who can't get enough of that era of that series 🤔 I'm just glad the ROM hacking community has been able to provide us consumers satisfying content that otherwise have been completely abandoned by companies (like Breath of Fire, FE, etc.) :D

@drearmouse9510 Год назад

Hell yeah. Dont see too many romhacking vids. That site has been an absolute godsend for nes/snes/genesis and all kinds of great retro titles. And with modern tech, even the cheaper phones can emulate anything up to the psx pretty damn well. Gotta love it.

@ShingamiRei Год назад

I've liked the last two rom hacks i've played. The first is Pokemon Emerald Rogue, it's a rogue-like gameplay in Gen3 pokemon game, you can expect the usual stuff, perma-death, limited items, HARD enemies and so on. You definitelly need some strategies to beat the game. The second game is Digimon World 2 Alternative. Reballanced gameplay makes the game fairly harder, but not crazy harder. More digimons added to the game, they are just recolors, but still existing digimons, like BlackAgumon or BlackGabumon for example, and hey, more is always good. Dungeon layout is completely new, textures of the dungeons are made new from scratch (ice dungeon looks icy!). Story dialogs are rewritten to make more sense, but the overall story is the same. There's more, but i don't really want to make this post too long, but i recommend this hack.

@Caspicum Год назад

I have heard about Digimon World 2 Alternative! There was another one too that I was looking at, and I think they both do similar things in their own ways. Once I've had a DW2 refresher, I'll have to take a look for sure. Also, Emerald Rogue sounds infuriating. I might have to check it out.

@Rihcterwilker Год назад

You should also check fan translations. I found my favourite snes game ever thanks to it: Tengai Makyou Zero. The way it uses the real time clock makes the game very dynamic and alive.

@Caspicum Год назад

I love a fan translation too. I try not to rely on them too heavily nowadays, I feel like playing a game in Japanese is gonna do wonders for my acquisition but there're some amazing translations out there. Been eying down that PSP Suikoden game for a while.

@Rihcterwilker Год назад

@@Caspicum oh, i've played that one too. Not perfect, but Suikoden is always a good time.

It's a lot of fun to see what the dedicated community behind it that truly loves these games will come up with.

@skins4thewin Год назад

I honestly never understood why ppl don't like the Boss Rushes. I love them! They're just plain fun! Seems to me like maybe the gamers that aren't so good at games are the only ones that don't like them. I think they're perfectly fine.

@Caspicum Год назад

It's definitely padding, but I don't mind them so much. Maybe I've been conditioned by megaman but it seems like a skill test.

@skins4thewin Год назад

@@Caspicum I think it's fun myself. The boss battles are supposed to be fun, and at this point w my skill level I need something a bit harder. Like I just played thru Kirby's Dreamland on the new Switch Gameboy release, haven't played it since I was a kid so it's probably been a good 20+ years since I've played it. Even so, I beat the whole thing first try while hardly getting hit. I got hit maybe 3 or 4 times thru the entire game. It was just so easy. Got hit once in that boss rush at the end, and once during the Dedede fight as I was learning his pattern. The Boss rush was one of the most fun parts of the entire thing! And I actually liked how I noticed that the 1 HP of health never restored throughout it, so you don't get your health back between fights which I like.

@PowerPandaMods Год назад

ShadowOne's Zelda Redux patches are definitely worth checking out. There's also a huge category of Undub patches, with my favorite being Mega Man ZX Advent. Finally, you may be interested in my Chrono Trigger Soundtrack Expansion romhack, which ports 12 pieces of music from Pre-releases and Re-releases back into the SNES Chrono Trigger, and places them at appropriate points in the story.

@Caspicum Год назад

That Chrono Trigger one sounds sick. I don't know how to feel about undubs, it depends on the game, I guess. Certain games use the cheese to enhance them, like Legend of Dragoon or... uhhh... but if I wanted the Japanese audio, I'd probably just play in Japanese and try to pick up some words and stuff along the way. I guess they're good for people who don't care about that.

@PowerPandaMods Год назад

@@Caspicum I agree with the hesitancy around undubs. For the most part, I avoid them. However, for ZX Advent, it actually brings the game stylistically in-line with Zero 1-4 and ZX, which feature the same style of "undubbing" in their international releases. The stylistic similarity was enough to sell me on it.

@tyarchus5704 Год назад

Yo Casp these romhacks look dope I'll definitely check em out. FF6 and suikoden hard mode in particular.

@Caspicum Год назад

Suikoden Hard Mode is surprisingly good, and the FF6 one is a whole new world. Good luck!

@Map71Vette Год назад

I remember a long time ago I found an FF6 spoof rom that was hilarious (at least to me at the time, haven't played it since). I don't think it changed anything but dialog and enemy names, but it had me busting out in laughter frequently. I think that was my first intro into hacked ROMs, though I don't think I've really played any since.

@Cuprite1024 Год назад

My brain always defaults to Pokémon when I think about ROM hacks simply cause there's SO many of them and the ROM hacking community surrounding the series is SO big. You have everything from difficulty hacks (Most obvious is Radical Red (Tho I'm personally not a fan)), reimaginings of existing games (Delta Emerald, "What if ORAS but Emerald?"; Der Erif/BACKWARDS, "What if Fire Red but you explore the region in reverse?"; and Red++, (Red but with a ton of updates) being great examples), and full-on new games with new stories/locations/Pokémon/etc. (Orange, Coral, Unbound, Vega, Prism, etc.). I could go on forever about these cause they're so interesting to me, but I think you get the point. Lol.

@kaeBR Год назад

I've had a really good time with the Breath of Fire 3 Hard-Rebalanced mod. While it does make the game harder like it says on the tin, it also does quite a lot of other things. There's no new story, quests or dialogue - it's just a lot of balance changes to gameplay mechanics, on top of much stronger enemies. The biggest change is magic (and thus Nina) is significantly stronger now, even in late-game. Even Garr's fire spells can hit pretty hard now. Spells and abilities got moved around quite a lot (for example, Nina is now also a competent healer), and there are many new additions. Debuff spells actually work on most bosses. Garr is much stronger overall. Rei is physically weaker but better at using moves like Flying Kick. Masters are rebalanced so there's a reason to use all of them, and they no longer reduce stats, so there's more freedom in building characters the way you want. Support spells like Protect are about 2.5x stronger. Damage + HP&AP totals are higher, which makes recovery spells more necessary and items less useful. Overall, I found myself paying quite a lot more attention to strategy in battles and making quite a lot of use of spells and abilities I normally wouldn't bother with, like Might, Speed, Enlighten, Meditate, Sanctuary, Flying Kick, Triple Blow and Rei's Lightning spells. The extra enemy difficulty also makes the elemental and status resist shots, as well as elemental/status resist equipment much more important. If you want to re-experience BoF3, I'd recommend giving it a go

@DaMoniable Год назад

My most favorite rom hack still has to be Sonic 2 Pink Edition, mostly because it was the first i had played that really opened my eyes to the incredible possibilities that just small tweaks to the core game loop could have. In this case, instead of jumping on enemies, you had to time hammer spin attacks, or youd take damage, there was also melee attacks as well, which just blew my mind. Recently though, ive been delving into randomizers, like a link to the past randomizer, or the lttp/supermetroid randomizer. and its for the exact reasons said in here. It spices it up and puts a new coat of paint on it, without really damaging the core of the game itself. That said it *does* remove the meticulously told story from both so if youre not into that, then its best to avoid i would think.

As someone who's played through Knight of Lodis a billion times and probably has a bias, I feel like a good romhack should do a little more tweaks, -make Emblem descriptions more accurate as to how to obtain them, tweak some other item/ability descriptions that are just kinda vague -more balances to spells and items because there's a lot of funkily balanced stuff besides the summons or stuff that's fun that doesn't really get used especially in the late game (better katanas for instance) -sneak in earlier encounters of interesting but hard-to-get enemies like undead so it's easier to play with those builds earlier than 50% of the way through the game -maybe add in a way to play multiplayer through different save files which could add some fun to local play and enables the Emblems to be earned easier than setting up a link mode -if adding content is on the table, tons of paths there, could always use more items, classes, abilities, new random encounters, side bosses, Quest Mode maps and different rewards, expanded gameplay that reaches the level 50 cap, all sorts I know this isn't a place to put detailed input on the romhack but I just got into stream-of-thought mode.

@Caspicum Год назад

I'm not sure about spell balancing, but it'd be a good idea to read the change log. I felt like every with the space nerf, the summons didn't do as much actual damage either. There's still the same Katana, but they took a bunch of items that were locked behind certain later events, and the Quest Mode, and put them in the base game. I can't remember the first faeries' name, but she starts witht he candy set, so you can recruit her early and not miss out, and Alphonse starts as a Knight instead of a Soldier. The person behind it seems to know the game quite intimately, so I'd say some of your wants might even be in the change log.

@davidalvarez5659 Год назад

This video made me interested in many of those! However, you should have mentioned that FFVI Edition is also infamous for its unforgiving difficulty and heavy grind to be able to beat Kefka's Tower.

@Caspicum Год назад

That could be true, but I just swapped my main party around so they could clock all the bosses on each of the three routes. Saved a bit of grinding at least!

@nomorenames5568 11 месяцев назад

I've been getting all the romhacks for a bunch of SNES games I never played as a kid and my god is there a lot of amazing stuff out there. I just got Trials of Mana/SD3 all patched with about 8 different improvement mods and bugfix/balance patches. After this I got FF4 and FF6 ready to go after this video and I am just so hype to finally play these games. part of the reason I don't necessarily want to go back and play a lot of these games is because of various annoyances about them that were just sort of accepted back in the day but are nigh unforgiveable today (like not having a run button!) and these mods fix just about all of that.

@Danielss250 Год назад

The demon's crest looks really good,, gonna try that one out for sure, I'll just say that removing content (even if it's something minor) is never the answer.

@Caspicum Год назад

Depends on the content for sure, but boss refights are pretty harmless.

@baalfgames5318 Год назад

Is there a Hard Mode for Suikoden 2? I mean, 2 doesn't need it as badly, since they DID at least make the bosses somewhat formidable. (For example, most bosses attack more than once in a single turn. Hey! That's fair! It's a six on one battle!) That being said, it's still kiiiinda easy. Suikoden 1 is okay, but one thing I REALLY like about 2 is the variety of characters. Aside from the two Kobalds, Suikoden 1 only had humans. ...Yes, Fu Su Lu is human. He's wearing a mask. 2 had flying squirrels, octopuses, a robot, a griffon, 2 kobalds, a unicorn, and maybe a few others I forgot to mention.

@Caspicum Год назад

I wasn't captured by the Suikoden 2 difficulty mod. I don't know if I got filtered or what, but it seemed to be punishing for the sake of it, which I can dig, depending on the game, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Also, I never noticed that about Suikoden 1. Damn, that's crazy.

@Halfmystic Год назад

Recently got into Retro Achievements, and Breath of Fire was on my list. I'll need to do this Rom hack in my 100% playthrough!

@Caspicum Год назад

There's another hack that changes a lot of stuff, balances the game out a bit better and uses the War of the Goddess re-write. That might be worth looking in to as well!

@Haiphong778 Год назад

I rather like rom hacks in concept. It's just a matter (for me) of finding whatever suits my tastes which is much less common and fickle. I used to have a really fun FF Tactics mod that just fixed dialogue, added some missing content, balanced out some mechanics and classes... But I cannot remember what it is :') What a shame.

@Caspicum Год назад

That sounds familiar to me, there's not too many FFT mods that do multiple things, I find often times they stick to doing one thing really well. Very narrow-focused mod creators, but that usually works well. I'm much the same, I'm a bit particular with how I enjoy mods. There was some Mario RPG one I had a crack at, supposed to be really good, but I hated the font colour and how bloated the stats were. Lots of sprites had the wrong palettes and I put it down pretty fast. I guess that's the beauty of rom hacks, there's so many, you can get exactly what you want.

This got me wondering if there are any Chrono Trigger mods. Other old games that come to mind are Lufia 2 and Terranigma. These 3 games defined my childhood.

I've seen mods for Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2, but I don't know about Terranigma. Surely there's something, right?

@ClayRoks Год назад

If anyone is a fan of Skies of Arcadia, I'd recommend the Maeson mod. It acts as a balance patch of sorts, while also upping the difficulty a bit. Love it personally.

@immortalfrieza Год назад

Probably the best romhack I've ever seen is Chrono Trigger Crimson Echoes. That though is essentially an entirely new game so I understand if that's not something you'd put up on a vid like this.

@jobbingtoaster1502 Год назад

These all look pretty cool. I wonder if Tactics Ogre Reborn will get something like the PSP version's One Vision mod. That could end up being the definitive way to play Let Us Cling Together. A rom hack I like to shill is Pokemon ROWE. There's a ton of stuff it adds. It makes Emerald into an open world, where you can tackle the gyms in any order you want. You can turn off stuff like ivs and use pokemans all the way up to gen 8.

@Caspicum Год назад

I actually really dig Crystal Clear, but I find that I end up just hard grinding certain gyms until I'm unstoppable and then quit playing around the fourth badge or so. That said, I should give ROWE a go. I was gonna put One Vision in this video, but I didn't feel like I knew enough about it, and I'd just played Reborn so I didn't want to play LUCT again so soon. It's a very long game.

@brandonj8372 Год назад

Interesting. I rarely mess with romhacks and when I do I tend towards ones that make a whole new game with the same mechanics, while you seem to prefer ones that change the mechanics but leave the game mostly the same.

@Caspicum Год назад

It's hard to improve on a lot of classic JRPGs narrative-wise. Sure, the translation can be dodgy, and they can be padded, but the fundamental plot points are usually pretty consistent. When I see someone write new dialogue, I can tell it doesn't fit, their personality bleeds through. It's why I'm also iffy about translations, the Breath of Fire 2 fix up has some weird choices for language that don't fit too well. Functionally, it's a better translation, but it's also a little off-colour. I'm not against them or anything, but if you're gonna do it, make it wholly new, so there're no clashes.

@brandonj8372 Год назад

@@Caspicum yeah, that makes sense. Probably why when I do look at ROMhacks I tend to avoid JRPG ones.
