CHECK THE PINNED COMMENT FOR MORE
The Steam Remaster of Vay, a jRPG originally released for the Mega-CD with an English localisation (and the usual difficulty increase) by Working Designs.
This features a new Localisation that takes some inspiration from the way they used to Localise. Obviously the graphics are cleaned up and there's other QoL features.
Hard difficulty is basically the Working Designs version. There's XP/Gold modifiers, but I only use them out of dungeons for grinding, and not to make the dungeons themself easier. When I notice I've left it on in a dungeon, I generally turn it to 0 for a while to compensate.

The story sounds generic with a twist to begin with, Orbs and a machine that can destroy the world. Then we're shown a wedding with a techonologically advanced Civilisation kidnapping the bride at a wedding.
Then we're in control of Heibelger, who is revealed to be the Prince. The Queen and King die and then we're on a mission to get back our kidnapped Wife, Elin.

Gameplay 1/2
Head N to a secret passage for some nice early equipment and then leave the Castle, our next destination is to the SW. Grind up a few levels here if you wish, as you're able to quickly deal with the enemies. Finish off your equipment set in the new town, and check every building for treasure. They all have one, but the Tavern in the NE has three chests hidden in the NE. From
Hineloar, head S and then slightly E to reach Marth Cave.
Head N a couple of splits and then head E and take all the N splits on the way to stairs in the S. Loop back around to some stairs and in the new room you'll meet Otto and confirm your desire to defeat the Danek. He sends Pottle along to help you. Pottle isn't too shabby, his Wind Dagger's multi-target will make quick work of encounters here, so you'll find yourself gaining a quick few levels on the way out.

From Marth Cave head W and then NW to reach Smythe Village.
Upgrade Pottle's gear and heal up before heading to Fort De Bay in the NW.
The enemies on the way are slightly tougher, Pottle won't one shot them, but Heibelger still should.
You'll find a treasure in the NE and overhear some Soldiers talking by the SW Gate. They'll leak plans, and Pottle reveals Smythe Village having a secret passage.
Talk to the guy at the Graveyard and then the Blacksmith and examine the middle row far right Grave to reveal a passage way. After a few fights I head back to Smythe Village and turn on the modifiers to grind here for a few minutes to get a couple of levels and some restorative items. The passage is linear and the treasures are on the way. Sadoul will meet you at the end, but we won't fight him, he sets the first boss on you.
Use Pottle's MP on Fire and then attack with him when neither of you need healing. Heibelger should always be attacking to chip at that HP. Even a low roll from the healing item should do at least the same as the boss is able to do, and on a high roll will buy you a free turn. Your forces will reclaim Fort De Bay from the Danek army and there's treasure to loot, and gear to buy.
