KH2FM Overhaul Mod
This mod changes many elements in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, giving a new gameplay experience
Orb drops are modified and you can get more items as drops. Which makes battling mob enemies more fun and rewarding
Modified Enemy Resistances
Enemy resistances are changed up, giving them strengths and weaknesses
Modified Get Bonuses for Sora and friends
Making for a new progression through Sora & Roxas' journey
Weapon Rebalancing
Weapons for Sora and friends are modified with different stats and abilities, party members also have abilities on all their weapons
Awakening
Warrior, Mystic and Guardian level up routes are completely unique, with the exception of abilities like Draw & Jackpot
Second Chance and Once More are not affected by which you choose
Additions
New items are added to the game & unused items are restored, can you find them all?
Allies
Party members do normal damage against all enemy types and have additional abilities
Gameplay
Various adjustments are made to gameplay, like air magic being changed up significantly. Also, Drive Forms can be powered up!
Other Features
Quality of Life
Various QOL changes are present in the mod, like faster running and faster form leveling
Antiform
The form has been changed up, no longer near guaranteeing your death
Mickey
Mickey has been changed up with additonal support abilities, like Combo Master
Equipment
Armors have abilities, and there are new accessories with abilities
New Game+ Support
If you plan on doing New Game+, you can use all Action & Growth abilities and Magic during Sora's prologue section, and there are some unique drive form variations for that Sora*
Documented
text files are included that have all the changes noted, recommended to view these files in Notepad++
* = Note that this mod doesn't add a New Game+ option to the game, you will need to use another mod or modify your save.
Limits (except for Donald's) will still cause Sora to T-Stance in the prologue
Translations were done mostly with DeepL
I don't recommend using mods that affect Sora or Roxas' mset files
Some Lua mods may not work. Gummi Skip does work
Do not skip the Roxas prologue, important changes are made to it.
Avoid mods that modify the files "00battle, 00objentry and 03system" (you can open .kh2pcpatch files with WinRAR/7-Zip) majority of the changes for the mod are handled by these 3 files, major functionality loss will happen if these files are overwritten
Text files might work depending on how they are made, i recommend to load this mod last so new text isnt lost
Randomizer
This mod can be used together with the Randomizer mod, make sure to load Randomizer last (at the top of the list)
However, some features of this mod will be overwritten by the Randomizer (Example: some party member abilities)
Known crash: equipping new weapons crashes the game (by new I mean the weapons added to the game by this mod)
Incompatible Mods
Do not use these together with this mod! (This isn't a full list, just ones i know that wont work together)
- Roxas Tutorial Skip
- Ultima Weapon Buff
- Sephiroth's Absent Silhouette
- Double Plus
- Refined
If you use any of these, there can be crashes and major functionality loss of this mod!
It also supports being installed with the KHPCPatcher, but will have some minor bugs due to it now being designed for the new Panacea version
"How do I know if the mod is active?"
There are a few ways to tell if the mod is active:
- Start a new game and battle as Roxas, he should now have his original PS2 battle quotes (English only!)
- The Dusk at the start of the game drops 500 Munny instead of 150
- You can load an existing save and check the party's weapons, their stats and abilities should be altered
I don't recommend doing the last because it will spoil you to what's different
Updates
I do update the mod occasionally
Steam Support
This mod modifies game files, not game memory. So it should work in the Steam version just like in EGS version
Some of the new additions of the mod might look a bit off due to the graphical changes with the Steam release
