Hack description

EightBound Regal is an 'remaster' of the original Final Fantasy / EarthBound crossover hack by Poliynm and Mareeta. Regal was created in response to complaints about the game being 'too difficult'.

EightBound was a hack that brought Final Fantasy characters, abilities, conventions, and challenges to the world of EarthBound. For more information, see EightBound's page here: https://retrohackers.net/hack-details.php?id=4874/.

Regal aims to offer a 'brand new' way to experience the classic EightBound story! New features of EightBound include:

- Cheat protection has been removed

- Significantly lowered encounter rates

- A faster adventure that doesn't waste more of your oh-so precious time

- A never-before-seen story arc

- New characters

- New abilities

- New bosses

- A revamped interface

Polinym wishes to apologies to all the pain he's caused players of the original EightBound. He hopes that this hack will allow you to live in a world without strife that you deserve. You don't need to strive for greatness. Play EightBound Regal, then you won't need to suffer for anything anymore.

It was a fun experience.	Korokun	2022-03-04	Version 1.0
It's kaizo. There's no way to beat around the bush, but it's doable. The story gave way to show that there is life after death, pulling from an awesome Persona series, but that being said, you have to look at it from both sides of the coin. It could definitely use a bit of touching up on the UI but I hope to fix that soon! (maybe!) But let's be honest here. Even if it was a kaizo, I hacked it. Beat it till it went into a coma, and then rebeat it after that. It is fun if not a bizarre adventure (Oh look a Jojo reference!) but worthwhile if you just want to see it for what it is. A test of true strength and the willingness to never surrender.
