Check this out.
You may follow through what I did to make Squall always use Lion Heart.
I do not have the Crisis Level cheat, so finisher would not proc.
But I managed to make Squall do his fnisher twice after modding the assembly instructions.

Thanks for the YT video.
I've done like what you've shown in YT but the opcode really are different.
i've try to change the mov dl,03 and mov cl,03 in part which i've seen the opcode is similar like yours. But its not working. Also i dont understand the byte and eax address that you highlighted. should i copied the address to other places or what?

I got lazy and did not put any voice overs, or edited the video for hints.
The ones I highlighted are the ones you will Trace.
In the video, I keep highlighting the EAX because that is what carries the Finisher, and traced which address writes to EAX, which is ESI in our case.
So when it started the break during Rough Divide EAX was === 01D28900
If you have read my previous post, 00 - 03 == Rough Divide - Lion Heart respectively.
So, we want to find which address EAX got the 01D28900 from.
Try to check if address where it breaks is a part of a call (look for ret instructions below it). If it is, follow it. It should jump right below a call. Then trace upwards.
Lion Heart = 03
Blasting Zone = 02
Fated Circle = 01
Rough Divide = 00
Let Squall do a finisher.
AOB Scan FA ?? 00 FF FF
Once you get the address, you can set a Write or Access Breakpoint to that address, then trace it back.

What version is yours?
Is it Steam, or Non-Steam?
Is the installation folder portable?
You may be able to upload it online if it is portable, and we can try to download it.

finally i found it and it works. actually after the break happen i didnt see in the video that you click step into so that it goes into correct opcodes. from there i found the opcodes which should be change into mov dl,03 & cl,03.
thank you so much brother. you've make my day. i've explored this hack like 3 years already started with the steam non remastered version
btw what does mov dl and mov cl means?
