Can you please link where you found the "Ragnarokv" mod? I don't recognize that one. Thank you in advance

Apologies, I fat fingered that. It's Ragnarok 1.2.3 from Qhimm user Calisto:

Since you're using a mod that touches the game data and binary code in memory, you better reach the mod author to ask to check that his mod works with FFNx. We have not tested this combination and we don't have the resources to test every possible mod combination, sorry. Feel free to test the same scenario again only with FFNx and if there is an issue feel free to report, we test only the vanilla game with FFNx on top. Hope this helps, cheers!

Oddly enough, I did a complete uninstall, and re-install of ff8, then installed FFNx and it works now... very strange. Ragnarok is still very much present too. But thank you for the help, I appreciate it!

Glad to hear that, maybe it was just some file corruption during download. Hope you enjoy it :) Cheers!
