Yeah seems these forums are a bit dead or no one really wants to help out. Almost 2 months late but here https://www.nexusmods.com/finalfantasy12/mods/1 You will have to disable it before talking to balthier and fran when they are in the sand sea (cant remember if thats the name, the bar area where you get the tomato hunt) after leaving the palace from the very start of the game. You can re-enable it after it. If you add it to the draklab mod launcher, make sure to enable your pc to see hidden files and remove the one hidden found in the mod folder. Draklab wont accept it if that file is in the folder. It is pointless so you can just outright delete it. Just trying to cover all bases because who knows if anyone else will reply to this 2 month old thread.

Not sure if anyone has seen it yet, but Final fantasy 9 had a mod mad for it that took the existing textures of that game, put them through an AI that does some spooky magic and makes the texture look far better. I have very little modding experience, and the one time I was trying to get into it no one really was able to help the issues I was having, so I would not be able to do it. But if someone was able to put the textures of the game through that AI and put them back into the game, I think the game would look a lot better. The textures for the world in general seem to be largely the same from the ps2 version, minus the original filtering. It seems they were put through a sharpening filter of sorts (I am not super technical on these terms, I just know the world textures did not get as much love as the player textures did) Has anyone tried anything like this yet? Here is a link to a video showing the final fantasy 9 mod.

Is such a mod possible or easy to do as, from what I understand, it isn't adding anything new to the game, just changing what weapon the game gives vaan at the start of the game? I really like the sword in the original game from aesthetics alone, and it feels a whole lot more special for vaan to use it as (I believe) its his brother's. It seems weird that he just has a generic dagger now. Its especially weird that when you get the mythril sword in an unmodded run, it is absolutely useless and is just there to store in your collection.
