* UselessUsefulSpell: The mod aims to [[AvertedTrope avert]] this trope by making more bosses vulnerable to status effects, and all bosses vulnerable to Gravity damage. (Though the strength of status effects and Gravity damage is lowered compared to with random encounters, to avoid making them broken. For instance: For Poison, the damage per tick on bosses is 1/64 of Max HP instead of 1/16; for Doom, a boss doesn't die at the end of the countdown but looses 1/5 of its Max HP instead; and Gravity damage's power is divided by 4 against bosses.)

** There is a second way to get Excalibur II, one that doesn't require doing the (in)famous speed-run: Getting all the collectable treasures of the game (there are 3 little mistakes allowed) to obtain the highest treasure rank.

It is a mod aiming to increase the difficulty and, above all, to give a new experience of [=FF9=] for those who already know the game well. A few of them are about the scenario. A few dialogs that were suppressed during the game's development are put back. Four new optional superbosses have been added, and a fan-favorite character can now be permanently recruited. However, most of the modifications are gameplay-related. The battle system has been reworked, always with the aim of having more balanced mechanics and open to diverse strategies.

* PromotedToPlayable: Technically "Promoted to OptionalPartyMember", so it's a DownplayedTrope. Beatrix goes from a GuestStarPartyMember who's only available during two short plot-related events to a full fledge party member who can be permanently recruited after the team gets the airship.

** For instance, the mod makes stealing easier. With Bandit enabled, stealing all the 4 items of an enemy cannot take more than 10 attempts. When Master Thief is also enabled, only 1 unsuccessful steal can be done between each successful steals (so all the items are stolen after 7 attempts maximum), and the rarest items have the priority.

* AscendedExtra: Beatrix can be permanently recruited after getting the airship. If done, cutscenes are changed from this point onward to include Beatrix in them. She's therefore turned into a full-fledge party member, with passive abilities and a Trance like the other main characters.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The fight against Black Waltz N°1 and Sealion has been tweaked. Now, the best way to defeat Black Waltz is actually to use Sealion against him. [[spoiler:After it receives enough damage, Sealion will use its Tsunami attack, which will heal it, but will also kill Black Waltz since the attack hits everyone.]]
