SPHERE'S PROFILE

Hello.
About the diffuculty options.if i choose ultra and want to change to easy and i goes in in the menu it already says that it`s on easy.But ultra should be marked .Seems not to change the diffuculty because i dont see any difference between easy and hard .

There is a pretty big difference in the difficulty options, but may not seem noticeable at first. Ultra has enemies have twice the normal HP, twice the attack power, defense, etc. Easy mode is half the HP of enemies, half the attack power, defense, and so on. Also for some reason the script itself doesn't "mark" which one you choose visibly except with a sound effect. So when you go back into the menu the cursor may be on "Easy" but that's just the standard position of the menu once you get in there, it doesn't mean it's on Easy. If that makes sense. =)

Have you actually play-tested the game? Or is insane grinding required to complete the game? I admit, I'm a rather casual gamer, difficult games, especially battles, are not really my thing. I want to experience the game, but at what cost? I'm currently talking about that battle against

Show

Leviathan, but even the at least two-three boss battles that preceded it (in Tower of Babil) were extremely strong IMO. An average party level is 31, but this doesn't really help. His Tidal Wave hits twice if I noticed correctly and even on Easy difficulty it can deal (I think) between 450 to 700 damage or even more. Maybe you should put "recommended level" text before each of the dungeons? That would kinda help players in keeping a reasonable level before coming into unknown.

Oh I've beaten the game about 6 or 7 times already. =) I actually find the normal difficulty quite balanced and even a bit on the easy side considering what the original japanese FFIV version is like. And insane grinding is definitely not necessary. Usually I beat the game around level 55 or so, which is done through just defeating enemies as they come my way rather than grinding. A few players have already noted that the normal difficulty is "too easy" so they're replaying the game on harder modes.

As a casual gamer, this game may seem a bit too difficult at some points, but truly, this is on the easier side of things considering the original game. FF IV is notorious for its difficulty especially in some sections, which is why I toned it down for Alter Destiny. The best advice I can give you and other casual gamers, is to make use of Slow on enemies (especially bosses that are susceptible to Slow), and once you get Haste, to use it like crazy. That'll make your life much easier. =)

Thanks.
I got the patch and now i can change.It was a great game but i personally want it a bit harder and it was on easy.So now i`m gonna have an even better experience.

Thank you again, and I hope you have a great time on the harder difficulty! =)

I just want to throw my hat in there and say if I can help in any way I'm totally down for it. =) LOVED the original Blackmoon Prophecy, and a remake sounds fantastic!

After I downloaded the Data patch, my elemental black magic stopped dealing damage. I'm in the Tower of Zot if that helps.

I just noticed myself, apparently it was due to the tweak I made in the Battle Rows thing with magic. I just checked it and it's now working on my end, and I've uploaded the latest Data patch.

I can confirm this;I'm in the underground waterway and Tellah's black magic isn't doing anything.

Try downloading the latest Data patch, that should do the trick.
