but Aerith seems to be in the background now and its really more about Tifa and Cloud.
I have to say its just doesn't feel right.
Spoiler: show
I felt that some of the enemies were a bit garish-looking and wanted to go back to be a bit closer to the original game.
I'll check the available steals of the enemies used in Battle Square for 2.0; and I'll check the escape thing in the red materia cave as well; the flags are set to prevent escape in the scene.bin, but perhaps they're being overriden by the encounter type and something else needs to be set there. Will investigate.
Masamune was way too overpowered; given that most bosses don't have much HP, I read on the forum that Emerald had 165000 HP for example, which is far less than in the original game, but they are far more tough/more defense, so ignoring the armor is really valuable. But it is actually possible to reach high amounts of damage (relic ring, SP system, some materias combinations etc.), it's just more difficult to do so due to the overall balancing (crit damage reduction, level influence on attack damage, etc.).
Parts of New Threat I like
The area music continuing into battles
No :O face characters
Additional dialog/story/character interaction
Ability to skip flashbacks/cutscenes
A few additional enemies and new enemy mechanics
And that's about it. I've just beat diamond weapon and ultima weapon and found the disappointing changes made to Cloud's Ultima Weapon. The absence of 2/4 Cut and Ultima materia have also been disappointing. I've ended up in a strange party arrangement with Nanaki just casting Comet and Tifa and Cloud just on support, its interesting, but not fun or cool. Is it possible to just mod in the elements I live and leave out the rest?
