About Restored & Rebalanced
---------------------------------------------------
Final Fantasy Restored & Rebalanced expands on the more narrow mission of Final Fantasy Restored (which fixed the game's bugs, provided a more accurate localization, and implemented various non-substantive enhancements), by addressing design flaws in the game and rebalancing game play. This project was spurred by the fact that no single version of Final Fantasy feels entirely adequate. The original is too buggy and unbalanced. Final Fantasy Origins remains unbalanced, and the two most impactful bugs - the Critical Hit and Intelligence bugs - were retained. Dawn of Souls and subsequent remakes achieved balance among the classes, but made many fundamental changes to game play, and some of these changes combined, trivialize the difficulty.

AstralEsper's original design philosophy was to adhere as closely to the original game as possible. However, with the completion of Final Fantasy Restored, she has resolved the tension between preservation and balance by more frequently erring on the side of balance. Changes are largely informed by, in order of priority:
- Context from the original NES game
- What few Ultimania-sourced design documents she had
- Conventions in subsequent Final Fantasy games
- And finally, her limited knowledge of Dungeons & Dragons
