Because a certain user wouldn't calm down, I'd rather bring this to a discussion and let others decide. I don't want to bloat the modifications section too much.
- Aikoto Mod - https://gamebanana.com/mods/499200 - restoration mod, recreates a few things from the original game (apparently a bit buggy)
- Bond Growth Wording Fix - https://gamebanana.com/mods/495559 - fixes the wording that originally may imply "you can't grow closer to the person at all in this point in the game" to some.
- Lunatic Restoration - https://gamebanana.com/mods/497149 - changes "Merciless" to "Lunatic" like it is in the Japanese text. Does not replace text everywhere.
- Remove 'Talk' from Textboxes - https://gamebanana.com/mods/494345 - frankly unnecessary?
- Yen Obtained Fix - https://gamebanana.com/mods/494514 - literally just adds a space after the number, i don't think many even noticed this for this to be considered "essential" in any way.
- No Cinematic Bars - https://gamebanana.com/mods/494171 - removes cinematic bars from cutscenes, which is a styling choice and I don't see how it's exactly "improving" the experience.
- Extended Outfits - https://gamebanana.com/mods/497730 - adds various day outfits to the Tartarus gameplay, and while it's cool it's not exactly essential
Please comment for which mods would you vouch and we'll reach a decision that way. Myself I only vouch for the first two mods.
