Hello ! I've found this mod just today, and I've already bought Steam FF7 version to play it ! I've played FF7 since its release when I was 7 years old in 1997. I'm also argentinian, so it's my first time playing it in other language than spanish (if you're curious, spanish translation is even worse than english I think). I just started, I'm about to set the bomb in reactor nr 5. If you don't mind, I know I'm late to this thread and the mod development, but I wanted to say three things !:
1st: I'm LOVING IT ! I'm sure it's always good to receive positive feedback ! So I just started and there are already MANY new scenes, battles and things, and it all feels like if it was a "complete squaresoft version". You're awesome Sega Chief !
2nd: Before buying the game to play the mod I really wanted to look more info about the mod, because I really don't like modded games, I always want the original experience. I wanted something concrete I couldn't find, and while a few videos hyped me up, I wanted to make sure the full game was gonna be that awesome and not only that one or two scenes. The Jesse scene and the Zack scene, both of those were the biggest things. I get it, you don't want to spoil the new things, but why not give a number ? Like N scenes updated/added, N weapons added, N command materias added, N battles will now have guests (I'm really hoping there are more battles like the Jesse one against scorpion). That would surely hype a lot of people that are like me, skeptical of mods.
3rd: while I love more the simpler maths in jrpgs and this mod starts off with much more damage, allies and enemies alike, I think this is just it, but something that maaaybe could make it: I've noticed leveling up only affects HP and MP, right ? And until I leave Midgar (I guess this will be until after Kalm flashback) I can't rank up my characters. While I don't love too much the idea of this rank system, why don't you give a very small stat growth per level ? I've tried looking videos about the rank system and all I could get was a gameplay and I saw each new rank gives +5 to all stats right ? Why don't you remove that, leave only the rank-up branch decision and allow a slight growth with each level ? It would make a better "grow" feel while leveling up, and not the static it feels now, while also leaving everything pretty much the same way it is.
Anyways, thank you so much for the awesome time you put into this, I'm a developer and you must have taken a lot of time into this, until now everything feels awesome, and I'll surely love the entire mod !
