No apology needed. It's been a build up of many, MANY similar posts over the years. Just wanted to get that off my chest, and now I feel better
The TA menus don't alter window sizes and data in the exe, while Menu Overhaul does. TA GUI is an older mod than MO, so the way its modded changed over time when MO was created. It's personal preference, but I like MO the best.
The TA field scenes were stopped after the FF7 Remake was announced. The team making them felt the time spent on them was of no use anymore. It took them years to make the several Midgar scenes we have now, so I'm not sure it ever would have finished anyways.
