what in the world, I like FF6’s impact the most: truly sinister and relentless villian and coherent storyline, something 7 franchise lacks despite being so entertaining and interesting in other ways
but how many people are in this romhacking variant community?
I wanted to enjoy FF6 again, and am enticed by a better even more coherent story and stuff, but I know I dont have the patience for that turn based
format anymore. when i played it originally - on emulator 20 years ago - I still held the fast forward key most of the time, but now I can only do action RPG. The Mana series and Tales series is fine though.
I just spent a couple of hours with it (first time replaying since childhood) and decided it's not for me, will be trying the OP instead.
While the gameplay changes are overall interesting, fun and welcome (save for not being able to steal from animals), the script is not for me (purely subjective but IMO too much fourth-wall-breaking and lame meme references, and the vibe is more of a loose having-fun-fanslation with lack of depth). While I'm fairly picky with tone and dialogue I still have some nostalgia for the TW translation.
Still, I'm super impressed with the work and care that's gone into it overall, which is immediately apparent just from reading the readme. I think it's more targeted for those who have already played through the original at least once fairly recently, not for properly experiencing the original story in isolation.
Reading about the T edition it seems it's also something best experienced after having completed vanilla first.
