Hey just beat the whole mod today, amazing work I must say. Thank you for your work and dedication.
My reason to install this mod is for Aerith. And I'm happy to say that I'm not the least bit disappointed, I was fully expecting her to just be a log on the team, but you actually integrated her as much as you can, and the airship motion sickness is a great touch lol. I do wish there was something for the Icicle Village when we watched the videos in her parent's house if she's on the team. But I'm very grateful for what I got.
There are a few things I run into towards the end I thought I should bring to your attention.
I did quite a bit of grinding and filled up my materia inventory before going to Dark Cave. Once I entered the Dark Cave, materias were automatically unequipped from characters. And all the materias I equipped on the characters were gone. I had to go back to grind for most of them. Please consider giving an option to the player to unequip the materias or keep them on, or at least a warning to players that they may lose their materias.
And I saved right before the Sephiroth Safer fight, so I'm stuck right before the last boss fight and can't go anywhere else, am I missing something or this is by design? Any chance for a post ending save and bring the player back to the surface?
