Alright then. Understandable. Caius certainly did get a buff. Seeing some of his abilities hit for 500-600k on staggered opponents is pretty crazy.

Regular Cactuar can be obtained just as early, and is the best commando in the game for a lot of enemies.

Most Cactuars are useless against late-game opponents and bosses, and Giant Cactuar is one of those as well. It has no useful innate commando passives, it uses ruin against aerial units, and is overall worse than the smaller version, despite the 100 ish extra attack. I mean, it is a cactuar evolving. It shouldn't get less useful, should it?

I understand your concern about balance, but my main concern was the more focused units, or at least the ones that people will look for. Caius is absolutely insane. No rav comes even close to his skillset and stats when he's buffed up. It almost feels like you're cheating when using him. Vanille is an amazing Sab as well and definitely the top choice in that group.

In my eyes, people will probably see the Giant Cactuar as a waste, since you're basically making the cactuar worse, and if you need a Com with other traits, Chichu is right there.

Are any of the modded monsters going to exceed the power of the current ones? Like, is Giant Cactuar going to be a better Cactuar, or Caius an insane Rav?

EDIT: Alright, Vanille and Caius are strong, but the rest of the monsters are pretty mediocre, and not really worth leveling over their counterparts.

I can't be the only one genuinely tired of listening to that little furball constantly screaming and moaning in the most annoying ways when being thrown. Especially in areas when you need to throw 100+ times to find something.

Therefore, i'd like to request a mod that removes those sound files, or atleast replaces them with ones that are quiet(er) if possible.

Cheers!
