New Game Plus/Stat Maxing Mods

Is there a way in the modding community to mod the games to have stat maxing items and new game plus/chapter select?

A lot of the older games have a way to level up your characters with less than perfect stats. Some of them have ultimate equipment that can be equipped by 2 or more characters, but you only get one of them. Some have non-100% drops from bosses. Some have items that you have to choose between. Some have one time only dungeons, towns, and shops where you can only get the item in those places.

The most obvious examples:
All games need new game plus & stat maxing items
FF5, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9 need chapter/disk select
FF7 already has stat maxing items but needs HP/MP stat up items
FF7, FF8, FF9 could use a way to reset character level to 1 (potentially keeping current stats)

FF8 from what I remember has stat raising items. They should be farmable in one way or another but if that's not your thing you can add them via a save editor. FF7 as well. For FF9 you need to edit the stats directly through an editor. You could do this for all of them I guess.

Not sure if the editors only soft edit stats directly though as some games have 2 different values. One that will edit the true stat and it will be permanent. The other will do the same job but resets back to the original value if you equip something that changes your stats.

Most of these games have a save editor somewhere. The amount you can do with those editors varies though. If you are confident then you could try a memory editing program.

FF9 has stat raising also through equipment, if you level up with certain equipments you'll get permanent increase through stats.
99 being the highest and in FF7/8 its 255. So you'd think you're raising stats faster in those (you are, but all 3 have relatively same pace)

I know you can raise stats in FF9 that way. But he's looking for a quick easy method like modding so grinding obviously isn't his thing. Hence why I mentioned editing stats directly.

For the record NG+ mods can be difficult to make at best. When it comes to this kind of thing just editing your save is by far the easiest method. Doesn't require any expert stuff. Just open the program. Navigate to the save. Edit what you want then save and start your game.

Some might require you to pass them through a checksum editor but I'm pretty sure most editors don't need this right now for FF games. The FF10 and 13 games needed this for a while.
