This doesn't look very good,there are plenty of difficulty hacks for FE8, the only big difference is the obtainable Juna Fruit, you took away some characters niches, why would I even use Garcia now, we have Ross who obligated to be a Fighter, if the growths haven't changed he's just better (you should probably state the growth/base changes), either way this seems kind of pointless, from the screenshots you didn't even change palettes, and removing a class is just bad if you didn't even switch it with a halbierder or something, plus why buyable dragonstones if the are unbreakable, I could complain more but this is just a out of boredom patch.
