RPG Maker VX Ace. I picked it up on a steam sale for like $10 a few years ago and never used it. I currently have 41 hours on it, about 40 of those just looking at Paradox stuff. It's how I and a couple other people add status effect resistances and item drop rates to the wiki among other things because the game won't tell you stuff like that.

Good luck modding it though, and I mean that sincerely. It's all in Japanese unsurprisingly except for what Dargoth translated. Once you get into it, you realize what an eldritch abomination this game is in the sheer amount of Nihongo present. I've seen some people talk about how much faster Rogue, but the original games were puny compared to Paradox. I don't mean to be a Debbie downer. I'm sure it's possible. Someone here hacked to play as Nero if I recall correctly so it's certainly possible, but they may have used a different method.

Also, I'm obligated to inform you that RPG Maker games are encrypted to protect the creators from having their assets stolen and used without permission such as the distribution of art or source code or falsely claiming intellectual property. Addtionally, a decrypter is a third party program to be used at your own risk. Basically, don't be a dick, don't complain if you get screwed over by a fake decrypter, don't claim you own anything, and definitely don't try and sell anything if you do decrypt the game files. And don't mind me, I'm just covering my ass here. All that being said, I don't quite know what you'd want to "hack" in through this method. You could make Luka more powerful than he already, but that's redundant. Add in some unavailable items right now or shift Luka's race to Chaos. Recruit Reaper or Marcellus? Honestly, the best thing I think I'd want to do would be to add more H-scenes as requests, whether from the original game or other places. Kind of like making a side story of the original game except you couldn't distribute it because you'd be violating the copyright unless you knew how to turn it into a patch for the main game and then only give out the patch.
