Meanwhile, a Dawn hack later (Dawn Endgame Boss Spoilers)

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Not.

Why aren't you just infa-locking with Photon?

If I wanted the artificial combo combo count, I could Glacies Blade Fury, Photon + Gravity Well spam, or Cyclone + Bloody Howling Juggle.

If I just want utter chaos that can possible see me dealing five-figure numbers of damage in single hits (I believe the Ice Super-duper spell has done that for me), I do this.

Not like any of it really matters because at that point you're so powerful either nothing can stop you or you have so much on screen that you'll get combowned to death before you can cast. Been trying to get Colosseum hacks to work and get something ala Vesperia's boss rush. There are just enough major bosses in the game to get that to work.

Colosseum hacks, you say? Do tell. I've been trying to figure out how to do something like that for awhile. Would love to do a record a boss rush or a chain of battles against the other party members.

If this doesn't break any forum rules; it doesn't from what I can tell, but I'll take the strike if it does.  I have a big text document from years back where I dumped favorite codes.  Wiird's code list has most of them, but there are a few particularly long ones that are only the forum thread.  Naturally I got those too.

frubam, who as you probably know as one of the biggest coders, threw this together;

And both he and dagoldenclip put up attempts on Youtube; Frubam used hacked Symphoniacs, Clip didn't.

That's amazing, but it's also brutal.  I wanted to make something a little more contained, because naturally when your making battles for high end parties, the line between too easy and blatantly impossible is very thin.  Preferably focusing on bosses first (Say, Hawk + Windmaster, Magnar + Courderoy, etc.), then adding fodder enemies as appropriate; though the problem with those is that a mystic arte will or will nearly clear all of them out in one go, particularly if your using level 200s.

This is a code for the 5 Gold-Match battles, I don't know if I made it or someone else, but either way I've gotten it to work in the past.  Naturally you just removes the spaces between them in the final code.

My perspective balancing these thing is also quite warped, as I have been using level 200 Symphoniacs with some bonus manuscript skills (Resurrect's for everybody!) and spells (Gravity Well...?), and setting every enemy to level 510 to compensate for my crew's brokenness.  A bad spell of "I don't want to make an easy game harder, I want to put my broken endgame characters in actual danger, gosh darn it!" mentality.    This makes the Colosseum since the removal of item use means you can't be careless.

As for frubam's color mods, I have a code for color mods, but I'm not sure how it's applied. That red and blue he has going on is really nice.

Awesome, awesome.

Is there any sort of format or guide I could use to customize the battle(s) to my own liking? Such as enemies, stat values, etc?

Or like, do I just replace the WXYZs with the values from the Model Modifier to do such things?

Yes! The problem is they would be enormous posts, and I wonder if that's uncouth.

If you wouldn't mind I'd love to learn more in PMs. I imagine I could these things to cause insanity between me and my friends, haha.

Roms are illegal.

Romhacks...

I don't know. If roms were books, romhacks would be akin to fanfiction.
Is fanfiction illegal?

Hard to say.

As long as you don't link to any roms themselves, you're fine as far as I'm concerned.

On Topic:
Why on earth is Clip using a Blade Rex and Sword Dancer? They're awesome but highly impractical. Anything small and fast enough can stagger them indefinitely. Or did he mod those two as well?

I don't think it helps, given that its better to be safe than sorry, but since these are cheat codes, they can be played via the actual game disc. So not so much a ROM hack as an overhaul code, kind of like changing encounter or trainer data in Pokemon games.

I did not know that. My apologies =)

Yeah, and you don't even need to hardmod your system anymore thanks to the wonders of, well, the modding community.

But yeah I use all my cheats "legit" with the disc itself.

also fanfiction should totally be illegal

As someone who used a physical CodeBreaker for Kingdom Hearts II (Boss mods all day), seeing that brought back was a nice touch to me.

And wouldn't you believe it; I've yet to beat my proposed boss challenge. I lose second match to Magnar half the time because the man's attacks are slow, but when they hit there's at least half your 9999 gone. Alice and Decus are about as hard here with Symphoniacs in tow as they are without in the Ginnungagap! The lack of life bottles be huge indeed.
