Q: What the hell is FFIX: Unleashed?
A: Unleashed is an increased difficulty mod for Final Fantasy IX made by LandonRay. I have purposefully not read up on many of the details of the mod myself, but you can read what it does here. -- http://bit.ly/YZntSL

The core gameplay remains the same, but the enemies are much tougher and there have been several balance tweaks.


Q: What does the "____ edition" mean in the title?
A: It's just an on-going gag, each time I stream I make up and change what "edition" it is, usually something relevant to what's coming up in the game. It's just flavour text though, and has no bearing on the game.


Q: Why are you such a low level?
A: I'm not, I do my best to fight all random encounters that I come across to keep my level from slipping too low. It can just appear that I am too low, because physical attacks have been nerfed, and it's very frequent that characters will get one-shot by certain abilities.


Q: Why don't you grind levels to make it easier?
A: Because that would be boring, haha. These mods are usually balanced so that you get the levels you need just by fighting encounters "normally" however, sometimes it may take a fair few deaths to work out how each fight works and how to equip and strategize to beat them. One exception however, is I may grind to learn abilities if I need them for a boss fight.


Q: Are you playing on an emulator?
A: I'm using ePSXe to run this mod; I much prefer to play on console, but the patch cannot be applied to PAL versions of FFIX.
