So now that I finished 1.5, it's time to give my thoughts on the mod.... or rather it would be, if I had much to say. Because the truth is, I really don't. The mod is pretty much done at this point save for bug fixes and little tweaks here and there possibly. At least to me. It doesn't seem like much could or should be changed at this point. I was fine with the way balance was done in 1.4, but it was redone for 1.5. I'm fine with it here too. Really, there's only one thing I'd like to bring up, and that's Cid's innate:
Cid's innate is pretty powerful on its own but where I think it gets too strong is when it can start working through things like Resist or accessories that prevent Barrier's. That little trick can be used to great effect throughout the game and it seems too good to me. Is that a bug? This could still turn into a bug report too because there was another problem I ran into with his Innate one time. I'm not really sure what I did or how it happened, but somehow Cid got perma-Barrier'ed throughout the entirety of a long and tough boss fight. The bars were empty but the Barrier's were still there. Even after Death they persisted. So between those two issues, Cid's innate seems too good to me. If they could be fixed then it'd be fine but if not, I may have to ask about a thought on an innate change.
I will play through the mod again shortly and try to find as many bugs as I can for ya(When's that big patch coming by the way?). But by and large, I think you're almost at the point of closing the book on this wonderful mod.
I'm so glad I found this thing. Its truly spectacular and your work on it is just that. I know I've said it before, but I thank you for all of this. Joy to play.
