No Future Limits

No Future Limits

This mod will allow you to selectively remove the limitations when playing on No Future difficulty.

These include the 3 item limit in battle, boss battle time limits, ability restrictions, auto reset levels on New Game Plus,

and shorter enemy display range. In addition, there's also an option to allow Guiding Sword I and II on all difficulties.

you can find a simple single PAK file here by Levnax85.

Guiding Sword Fix:

Some PAK files include this fix. It enables Guiding Sword I and II to work outside of No Future mode.

Normally, even if you can equip the ability, it wouldn't function without No Future mode active.

The original effect for Guiding Sword I (allies survive with 1 HP instead of fainting) and

Guiding Sword II (party heals 100% after battle) is coded so that they won't work on other difficulties.

Fixing Guiding Sword II was easy, but for Guiding Sword I a workaround was found to replicate the effect.

Guiding Sword I:

A small side effect of the fix will have your allies recovering 1 HP every time they get hit. So effectively all

damage to your allies is reduced by 1. The reason for the side effect is that the effect associated with Guiding Sword

has been replaced with the effect from the abilities Survive and Persist. The effect is similar, but it requires

your HP to be above 1 for it to work. So a healing effect of 1 HP was added to ensure that it always triggers.

It also updates the text in the menus which removes the No Future requirement.

An override PAK is also included to support the text changes made in the Restoration of Mana mod.

There are several PAK files to select from, so you can choose which parts you want:
