Chances are that only a few of the characters that you normally use were improved. The vast majority of the weaker characters have been improved. Peter was the only character that was nerfed, and only slightly at that (aside from nerfs that came from nerfing certain spells). I have strived for balance in this hack, to make it so that your entire party remains useful throughout the entire game. There is also no level building at any point: Bowie does not know egress, and angel wings are not buyable. Boss monsters, however, are generally much more difficult, although sometimes their defense scores are substantially lower. Towards the end of the game, the regular monsters in this hack are generally much easier than those in the Hardtype Hack. However, it does serve as more of a middle ground between Super difficulty of the regular game and BigNailCow's Hardtype Hack. This hack makes the game substantially harder than the regular game. You can apply the IPS patch using a program such as IPSWin or Lunar IPS patcher.

A common name for this ROM, and one that definitely works, is Shining Force 2 (U). Version 1.01 (): Enhanced the difficulty of the Zeon battle. This info can also be found with prettier formatting and some screenshots at the above link. Here is the readme for the hack, which includes a full list of the changes in the hack. My SF2 hack has finished its second round of playtesting, and is ready for release. If you have a save before the Zeon battle, you should be able to use it to play the new version with the enhanced Zeon battle. The main change is that the Zeon battle is slightly harder.

UPDATE (): Version 1.01 of the hack has now been released.
