Serial key war for the overworld patch 1.3 games

Breath of Fire II Maeson - SNES - 11 January 2017.

• Released by Maeson.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  
• Increase the overall usefulness and balance of the cast of characters, improving the least useful ones and trying to put them all on a similar level.
  
• Changes to Magic, with changes to the AP costs, and in case of offensive spells, damage too. Characters learn different spells, and overall they can be used a bit more freely.
  
• Changes in equipment that go along with the changes to the characters. For example, whips are much better weapons than before, and a few pieces of armor are usable by more characters.
  
• Changes in the Experience and Zenny the monsters give upon defeat; the experience tables for characters to reduce grinding, and prices for equipment and items also was adjusted depending on their usefulness.
  
• Because of all the changes pointed above, monsters had their stats also adjusted for how the characters are now. Difficulty shouldn’t change too much compared to the original game.
  
• Changes on the Shaman system, for example Seny/Saynie actually does something now, and Transformations are not simple stat upgrades anymore, instead they reduce and increase stats, trying to change a character’s role or become a stronger version of himself/herself, but with higher weaknesses too.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Monster Tactics - PS1 - 10 September 2017.

• Released by Emmy.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

Welcome to Ivalice! This isn’t the same Ivalice you may have remembered from Vanilla FFT. So forget almost everything you thought you knew. Many changes have been made, not only to the battles themselves, but to the mechanics of the game.
Human population has been mysteriously dying out, and monsters have taken over. You can no longer hire human units, but you can recruit monsters for free in random battles. Monsters are now dangerous - they are no longer the pathetic counter bots of vanilla. Every monster has a minimum of 4 skills, and several have far more than that. Monsters also now have greatly improved innates, including several s/m abilities, innate status, status/elemental resistances, etc.
Due to several changes in the mod, it’s a lot tougher than vanilla FFT. Most notable changes that lead to its new difficulty are the improved monsters and enemy formations in general, the enemy scaling to the party level, and shenanigans in general. A full Faq is packaged with the mod, and tooltips have been updated to be useful.
Content has also been significantly expanded. Several new battles have been written into the plot; and new battles are written into the new “Extra Battles” feature, which replaces vanilla’s Propositions. New content is added frequently to new versions.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced Battle: Monster Tactics - GBA - 27 July 2020.

• Released by LeonarthCG.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced Battle is a hack that brings monster taming to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and makes the whole experience centered around this mechanic.
The player can use a new item (the Capture Orb) to capture monsters which (unlike in the vanilla game) join the party and fight on your side. Additionally, all ways to get new humanoid party members have been disabled, the player needs to make do with only monsters and the two starting humanoid party members.
A new system to learn abilities is implemented, similarly to the original Final Fantasy Tactics the units will earn JP which they can spend directly on purchasing abilities. This is the only way the player has to teach new abilities to the monsters.
These are the main changes, and they alone already make for a completely new experience, but be sure to check the readme for a more detailed list.

SaGa Frontier - Magic Only Mod - PS1 - 09 September 2014.

• Released by Mir_Vimes.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

This is a mod which completely removes non-magical abilities for humans. It also makes magic much more flexible and powerful compared to physical abilities.
Techs of any kind (Sword, Martial, Gun) can’t be learned and nobody starts with any learned. Using Swords, Punch, or Guns don’t grow any stats, though using heavy weapons (Lasers, Bazookas, Machine Guns) and mystic weapons and abilities does produce some stat growth and excellent WP growth.
Every human and mystic starts with a few spells. Most have gifts as well. The Evil school of magic is now learnable if you have the gift for it and one of the spells.
Items were changed a lot, see the readme. The ThunderCharm bug was fixed. In general it might not be a good idea to slap a PoweredSuit and DefendWear on someone and call it a day - other armors are more competitive with these two, especially those that can’t be bought.
No changes were made to any enemies.
A few bugs were fixed with monster forms and dodge ability sparking.
Mystics and Mecs were rebalanced both in stats and equipment. MysticMail is now the third best torso armor in the game behind PlutoArmor and GoldenFleece, with the best Force and Status defense of any torso armor.

Final Fantasy Tactics: Emergence - PSP - 15 April 2020.

• Released by PowerPanda.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

Here is a high-level overview of the changes:

• The Job progression has been re-organized to be more intuitive and sensible. For example, Lancers are gained from training Soldiers (aka Knights), not Thieves.
• There are 50 new abilities to learn. 20 were previously enemy-only, and 30 new abilities were created by removing duplicates between classes.
• Magick charge time and damage formulas have been tweaked to bring mages into balance.
• Faith is no longer used in Attack and Healing Magick. It is used purely for status effects, summoning, and treasure hunting.
• Many job classes have been tweaked and redesigned.
• A new class, Magus, has replaced the Dark Knight. It is an armor-wearing mage class with access to 8 spells previously reserved for enemies.
• Every special character has had their skillset modified to make them more versatile and reflect their personality.
• Ramza slowly becomes a Dark Knight over the course of the story, able to learn the Dark Sword techniques from fighting against Gaffgarion.
• Every storyline battle has been tweaked to give players a greater variety of enemies and a smoother difficulty curve.
• Many items and weapons have been updated.
• And, of course, the animation slowdown has been removed.

Taken in total, FFT: Emergence offers new gameplay possibilities while still retaining the theme and feel of the old classic. With a difficulty level similar to the original game, any player can pick this up with confidence.

Mother 3: Claus's Journey - GBA - 29 March 2019.

• Released by spiderfreak1011.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

Mother 3: Claus’s Journey, is a hack that switches the roles of main characters Lucas and Claus, making Claus into the main protagonist, which greatly changes the story due to Claus’s drastically different personality compared to Lucas. Much of the text and story is altered to better showcase Claus’s personality and thoughts, as well as how others react to him.
There are also 3 versions of the hack, but the story remains the same between them, and the only changes are to the PSI that Claus and Kumatora learn in the game. As for the differences between all 3 versions, those are detailed in the README.
This new version has updated dialogue that’s been better polished, but also has changed dialogue for 2 new areas (the toilet dungeon and porky’s mini games), as well as other areas. It also alters the King Porky Statue boss fight to be winnable via normal means and give greater rewards as a result.

Final Fantasy 6 - Brave New World - SNES - 01 January 2020.

• Released by BTB, Synchysi.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

FF6 - Brave New World is a fairly complete overhaul of Final Fantasy VI, featuring:

• Character-based esper restrictions & new stat boosts that promote greater diversity and allow for customized development.
• Esper leveling system that disassociates esper bonuses from traditional levels.
• New and reworked formulas which rescue everything that isn’t magic or magic evasion from the dump-stat heap.
• Rebalanced equipment, items, spells, and skills that aim to remove dead weight and give players more (and better) choices.
• A complete overhaul of enemies from their stats to their behavior to better challenge veteran players and newcomers alike.
• Tons of bugfixes, as well as remedies to many of the game’s more annoying aspects (such as rage hunting taking a lifetime).
• And much, much more, detailed in the Readme (particularly section 4).

One thing BNW is not is a difficulty mod. While it is harder than vanilla FF6, we wanted to keep it accessible to newcomers while at the same time giving veterans a new experience. Hopefully, we succeeded.

7th Saga: The New Class - SNES - 01 September 2013.

• Released by Nati.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

Among its many flaws, one weakness of The 7th Saga was that the characters were almost carbon copies of each other, limiting replay value. In this hack, based on the improvements already made in 7th Saga Redux hack, the characters have been given familiar classes based on Final Fantasy 1, with different stats and spells. Because this version can be played with minimal grinding, it’s a lot easier to try out each class and learn its unique playing style. The classes:

• RedMage (Kamil): Well-rounded in all areas
• Fighter (Olvan): Tough physical warrior with healing magic
• Bl.Mage (Esuna): Powerful offensive mage
• Bl.Belt (Wilme): Expert in unarmed combat
• Robot (Lux): The ultimate defensive tank
• Wh.Mage (Valsu): Healing and support mage
• Thief (Lejes): Master of stealth and sabotage

Seiken Densetsu 3 - Sin of Mana - SNES - May 10, 2017.

• Released by praetarius5018.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

Major features:

• Equipment offers various bonuses instead of a simple attack and defense progression
• Rebalanced classes, stats and spells, almost everything is usable now
• Modified formulas that keep even high level techs useful
• Expanded inbattle options with running, regular strong attacks and counter techs
• Passive MP regeneration with high cost spells: be smart with your magic
• Extensive boss AI changes
• Accelerated level curve: from class changing at the earliest mana stone to facing the final boss at the level cap
• Transformed the shield slot into a second accessoire slot for everyone, shields count as regular accessoires
• Increased inventory capacity to 20 per item type instead of 9
• Tons of bugfixes ranging from agility stats not working to Kevin's wolfform stacking attack bonuses
• 5 difficulties to choose from, covering the spectrum from "easier than vanilla" to "Atlus would be proud"

Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together - One Vision - PSP - October 19, 2017.

• Released by raics.
  
• Link to the hack and project page.
  

TO: LUCT is no doubt one of the classics of turn based tactical games, it can boast complex storyline with a memorable cast of characters and multiple endings, as well as a deep combat system with a vast arsenal of equipment, items and spells. Its PSP port can also serve as an example of how such things should be done, with the game getting not only a much needed facelift but also a thorough redesign of most combat elements.
Sadly, the game isn’t without faults, as some of the new features make it extremely prone to exploits which an experienced player can use to fully remove any challenge from the game. The main goal of this mod is to render such exploits more difficult, bringing weapons, classes and skills closer to the level they should perform at, as well as to each other. Its secondary goal is to provide tweaks to immersion, visuals and some of the more cumbersome game systems like crafting and endless skill farming.
This is still a work in progress so all feedback is welcome, and for installation instructions and more info check the included Readme file.
Major features:

• Weapon, armor and consumable item rework. Equipment is more likely to do what you expect of it, 2H weapons will do a lot of damage and a tank in heavy armor will be hard to kill.
• Additional items, spells and skills, as well as changes to the existing ones with a focus on improving the more unappealing choices.
• Skills that grant stat bonuses, like Strengthen or Spellcraft, as well as static choices like Switfoot or Spell Ward were removed and compensated with higher stat differences between classes than in vanilla game.
• A full Finishing move rebalance.
• Most ways of gaining permanent stats were removed to reduce power creep in late game and increase options during early game.
• The power of special characters was reduced across the board, they're about on par with each other now and not overwhelmingly stronger than generics.
• Generic characters have more diverse templates that split into fighter, rogue, mage and generalist archetypes, their stats can differ a lot depending on which one you hire.
• Significantly increased the levelling speed of slow skills, like Steal or Parry.
• Most classes were tweaked, with emphasis on nerfing the strong ones and buffing the weak, many gained new tricks.
• Monsters don't scale natural armor as high as before. With the changes to skills, their new role is high HP bullet sponges that take a lot of damage and use the TP gained to spam special moves.
• Many items are easier to acquire, reducing the endgame tedium.
• Visual changes to some items, special characters, skills and spells.
• Streamlined crafting.
