This is a very good, mild hack that tweaks some aspects of the game to make it a little more convenient to play.

I did not find that it altered the gameplay or challenge, other than allow the player a little more wiggle room in boss battles while adjusting some of the damage and sword weapon cost. It doesn't make the game easier; it just streamlines it a tad.

I like the idea of this sort of rebalance, which is more of a tweak that is barely noticeable as you proceed in the game.

I highly recommend this hack + the proofread and computer repair, which I have tested that all work together with no glitches or bugs.

The changes in this hack are subtle, but worth a playthrough especially if you're a huge fan of Crystalis (can you tell that I am? My namesake came from somewhere after all..)

The highlights are the removed level restriction to kill enemies and bosses (you still need to use the right sword however!), automatic equip of balls for each sword (the level 2 attack - make sure you unequip bracelets for other swords to do this), and vastly decreased MP costs to use level 3 attacks for each sword. The latter is a boon and makes the sword bracelets actually worth using in this game.

I'd love to see some other changes in a Crystalis hack. I wonder if anyone will ever change the mass amount of typos in the translation? This is still worth a playthrough, and ti's fun see how low level you can manage to beat the game - monsters can become extra difficult without the level requirement forcing you to increase your attack and defense before facing them.
