Yo. :)

This is a very simplistic patch made in mind for a niche group of people: people who enjoy stories and strong narratives in video games, but dislike the RPG genre/grinding.

I honestly believe this is one of the best stories I’ve ever encountered in a video game, and this patch aims to share the story without modifying the actual narrative by allowing the player to excel through the gameplay itself. Changes are very simple:

• All enemies have had their stats (excluding MP so any magic-related battle scripts still function) lowered to 1.
• All enemies retain dropped gold, experience and item drops in case the player does want to grind (and, keep an “average” level within a certain area if they want to transfer the .srm to a unpatched version to try the game and not be over leveled.)
• The first clock in Arvis’ house (formerly elixir) changed into 65025 GP to cut down on some future grinding for money needed for equipment.
• Relic shop in South Figaro sells “Moogle Charm” (for 2 gold) and all characters can equip them.
• TERRA starts with Sprint Shoes (also changed to 2 gold) and Moogle Charm equipped.

Patch will otherwise be worthless for veterans or someone looking for a challenge.
