This will have everything you need and more! I assisted in making a grid for what each party member can learn and use in the right role.

My Spreadsheet/Notes
The following is a link to a very detail explanation on the limitations of what each character can and cannot learn while using this mod. At the bottom there is a TLDR showing what can be added to each character without breaking the game. As I very much enjoyed using this mod I figured I would give back to the community this way because I wish I could mod games like this but I dont have the background. Thanks again to the creator, I will be using this for each run I do in this for years to come!

Sorry, but I would rather not share any information for now, as I might use it for a University project next year.

Once it gets approved (or not), I will gladly share my findings, so just a bit of patience until the end of September, alright ? :p

@NijiBashira I am VERY interested in learning how you accomplished this as I'm not necessarily interested in doing what you did, but more on modding the crystarium points gained when obtaining a node in general.

Another Question. has anyone beaten the game with this challenge that you know of?

As you may or may not know Clock Master lets you speed up or slow down time in the game after you have collected all 160 fragments. I was just curious if anyone could unlock this sooner than intended? I've platinumed the game on PS3 awhile back and would love to play it again, but think it would be a lot easier to go through it faster. Any thoughts?

I figured out how to get the dummy weapons in the game. You don't need to put them in the shop you can just "morph" a weapon to it via hex code editing. I tested it myself and they work in battle. Lightning's Godslayer at Level 1 is 100 Magic and 100 Strength. at Level Max it's 10,000 and 10,000. Here is a link for the stats! - If you would like to learn how to do get them in the game I can show you how, send me a PM

It's not a matter of if it is needed or not. I've played this game a multitude of times and have upgraded items to the max levels and have had a lot of fun with it. I've also seen people that just always do 999,999 with some sort of hack. But I would like to learn how to mod it myself to accomplish maxing out stat's. I just want to know how the equipment system works in the code so that I could make equipment myself and maybe, if at all possible, combine items to accomplish more than just one effect. I personally think it would be fun to do so, I'm just simply requesting if it is possible/if someone could show me how to do so.

Would love to see a mod where you can continue to grind characters' accessories and weapons to become stronger via the upgrading mechanic already implemented in the game. (Example: Upgrading a Kaiser Knuckles into a stronger +500 strength accessory via Trapezohedron.) I always thought it was weird that with practically every other Final Fantasy you can max out either one or all characters. In this game you hit a plateau when upgrading your characters. I love this game but I feel that was one of the things that was missing from it being a Final Fantasy title.
