Hello guys, I just registered to this site only to be able to post here... Sorry if I will make some mistakes, but English is not my native language!
First thing first I would like to thank Sega Chief for this beautiful mod that tranformed one of the best RPG that there were into another beast of a game! Seriously, the details in this mod are astounding! A true masterpiece that made feel so much joy in playing it in these last days... Not even the FF7 Remake can top it, expecially if you play New Threat with other mods that adjust the old graphic of FF7 a bit and make the game feel a bit more modern.
I am playing Path A right now and I enjoyed all the things New Thread 2.0.99 offer and I must say that it is well balanced from what I saw. Also, the possibility of saving Aerith and continue playing even with her is awesome and all the interaction are well done and in-character. Even if sometime I thinked she resulted a bit "passive" in certain scenario of the story, expecially when there are the "fanservice" scenes between Tifa and Cloud from Mideel onward. I know that there is the event of Shinra Mansion with her and Cloud where she find what appened to Zack, and that is awesome and very well done, but maybe adding some other optional new event with her and Cloud somewhere will help "counterbalance" all the scene that Tifa and Cloud had even in the vanilla game for those who prefer their couple. Because like this to me it seemed that even if saved, she somehow "lost" to Tifa anyway with Cloud.
In any case, even like this I think it's all right in the end if you don't feel like adding more "custom" event. At least she isn't dead anymore if one choose to save her and that is the most important thing for the players that like her. So thanks again for making all this possible!
In the end the only thing that I didn't like very much in the mod were only the fact that you can obtain only one Enemy Skills materia and it's the same with the summons and some other end game materia, expecially with the fact that I would liked to use Hades with Added Effect on multiple character to have some immunity. I understand that maybe the summons and the other things were a bit broken in the vanilla game and needed a "nerf", but in my opinion it's not so good to remove completly the possibility to have multiple copy of them. Maybe making it much more difficult or a real "grind fest" to get more copies would have been more appreciable for some players like me... However in the end it's not that important because if you really want to you can always use the save modifier to add things manually. (As I did to get more Enemy Skills and some other things, even if doing it with cheats it's not the same thing...)
Anyway, there is also another reason if I posted here today a part from my generic feedback.
I would like to report a Game Breaking glitch that can happen in Kalm Town Disk 3:My setup:
New Threat Mod (v2.0.99) installed with
7th Heaven.
Glitch Description: When you go to talk with Barret and you do it at his right with Tifa as Team Leader, after the cutscene when he try to go to the weapon seller to talk with him his 3D model will not pass through the model of the player and the game will remain stuck in an endless loop. Same with Cid. The thing instead will not happen with Cloud, as he will move out of the way.
I will provide a screenshot:

P.s.: I would also like to ask another thing, if someone here tested it before me. Do some of you guys know if I can create a "New Game +" save with the Black Chocobo Save Editor that works with New Threat 2? I would like to redo the game in Path B when I will finish the Path A, but without losing the materia etc. but I am wondering if all the "flags" for the events will be resetted correctly by Black Chocobo or if it will only reset those for the vanilla game, and so the game will became a mess... If someone already tried this and can tell me if it works or not, it will be much apreciated. If not I think I will try myself and see what will happen... xD
