Final Fantasy Tactics Kind Of PSP (KO for short) is a gameplay improvement mod meant to make the WotL experience more enjoyable for those who have already beaten WotL and yearn for more. Unlike other mods, KO PSP doesn’t necessarily intend to make things harder- it does that by proxy, however, because skills, jobs, and items have been rebalanced to be less overpowered and more interesting.

Instead of giving you boring blocks of text to read, here’s a run down some of the biggest features in KO PSP:

• Slowdown has been removed.
• Multiplayer items and battles can be accessed (in one form or another) in single player mode.
• Levels scale with the player.
• Skills, items, and jobs have been rebalanced while keeping their original flavor.
• Luso and Balthier have repurposed skills, are no longer clones of other characters.
• Many anti-frustration features have been added, such as Errands only taking 1 day to complete, and all shops having the same types of items available, so you don’t need to constantly run to certain towns to buy certain items, and Treasure Hunts are all 100% finds.

Basically, this mod was designed to be the definitive version of WotL that anybody can play and enjoy, whether they’re an amateur or a seasoned pro.

Note that in order for the patch to work properly, you’ll need to use a EUR ISO or else there’ll be bugs.

Features

• Slowdown fix.
• Multiplayer items have been imported into Singleplayer by overriding some existing, rarely used items.
• Multiplayer battles have been imported into Midlight's Deep.
• Ability to purchase any type of good from any town, assuming you've reached the proper point in the story to buy it (Thanks to Celdia for the idea).
• Ability to steal from Elmdore.
• Jobs that required level 8 in a job were lowered to requiring level 5.
• 1 Day Errands (due to lack of save/loadstating for randoms when they come up)
• Onion Knights get a skillset comprised of basic skills from most jobs.
• Mediators have some slightly altered skills due to lack of ASM for WotL.
• Balthier gets ranged, albeit less accurate Steals and loses Barrage.
• Luso gains normal Squire skills and stats, but has Innate: Poach, Tame, Beastmaster, and Beasttongue.
• Lucavi aren't as tanky as they are in the PSX version of KO, but still have increased HP from the original.
• Enemies may not have the exact setups as they do in the PSX versions of KO.
• The new battle with Algus at Limberry has very rare treasure which can be found if you bring Treasure Hunter.

  • Time Mages get a buff to MP and Speed.
  • Summoners get a buff to HP and Speed.
  • Orators get a buff to HP, Speed, a nerf to MP, and lose Innate: Tame (to prevent a bug where enemy Orators could Invite the party's monster units.)

  • Onion Knights get a buff to MP, Speed, PA, MA* note that they also no longer "evolve", in order to prevent glitches. Their skillset has also been reduced to five skills* Tailwind, Chant, Steel, Shout, and Ultima. This is an experiment to see if this allows them to have something of a skillset, and it makes them something of the other half of Squire, giving them some of Ramza's abilities.

  • Luso gets a buff to Speed, PA, and MA, and loses Innate: Tame (see above for reason) as well as Beastmaster and Beast Tongue.

• Huntcraft has been completely changed to make Luso more of a Blue Mage, akin to a potential job of his in FFTA2. The following abilities can be learned Blue Mage style on Luso:
  • Choco Esuna (Chocobos)
  • Goblin Punch (Goblins)
  • Self*Destruct (Bombs)
  • Blaster (Coeurls)

• Forbidden Dance can no longer inflict Confuse.
• The AI now correctly sees Bad Breath as adding statuses as opposed to removing them.
• Tail Sweep now correctly inflicts Immobilize.
• Adrenaline Rush has been removed from the player's use. On Balthier, Adrenaline Rush was replaced with Critical: Quick.
• Balthier's Plunder abilities should now (hopefully) work as ranged abilities as intended.
• Safeguard's JP cost has been reduced from 100 to 50.
• (Hopefully) fixed a bug where under certain circumstances units could use Rend skills on themselves.
• Fixed a bug where a duplicate Ramza could potentially join the party after a certain battle in Midlight's Deep.
• Tietra now uses Summons in Midlight's Deep rather than Arithmeticks.
• The bug involving Lezales not appearing in the Lezales' Revenge fight in Midlight's Deep should be fixed now* please let me know if it's still not working.
• A bug involving Dark Behemoth using Ramza's sprite in the Dark Halidom has been fixed.

• Jump +3's JP cost has been reduced from 300 to 200.
• Flame/Ice/Thunder Rod no longer boost their respective elements (in order to balance them for when they're available), but in exchange, they now cast Fira/Blizzara/Thundara potentially on hit, rather than the tier 1 spells. They're now available at different times in shops as well to compensate. Black Robe will be your go*to for elemental boosting.
• Various other small bug fixes and balance changes have been made, namely to certain fights in Midlight's Deep to try and fix a few bugs therein.
