I have one question about the load order. To get it to work on a normal level, with little an issue but still questionable, what is the recommended load order?

IMPORTANT: Use the up/down arrow keys to arrange the mods in the following load order:

Miscellaneous - Red Werewolf
Miscellaneous - CHaOS (Character Overhaul Seven)
Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
Battle Models - Weapons
Any order thereafter (I go alphabetically)

Yeah, Red Werewolf is a major culprit right now. I don't think the author patched the scene.bin correctly. Just play without it for now while I work on trying to fix it.

So, your load order should be:

Miscellaneous - CHaOS (Character Overhaul Seven)
Gameplay - Difficulty and Story
Battle Models - Weapons
Any order thereafter (I go alphabetically)

The only reason I even use Red Werewolf, is because it seems to be the source of some translations such as "Aerith" and the spell names like Fira instead of Fire2. I'm not really a fan of the werewolf model for Red XIII (although, It is a well done model.. its just not for me).

I'm hoping for another translation mod... I think I read somewhere that Reunion is possibly going to be added to the catalog in the future.

After reading this, I wanted to share my experiences because I think there might be something going on that some of you weren't aware of, or maybe its just specific to my computer. I don't know.

The Mod "Miscellaneous - Red Werewolf" caused a lot of problems for me a took a bit of testing to sort out.

I started with the load order you recommend and set Red Werewolf and Gameplay both to Vanilla and was getting the boss fights starting in the Shinra Tower.

Then, I reinstalled everything including a thorough cleaning of my registry... set everything up... same problem.

Well, at this point.. time to troubleshoot. I started with loading only the music mod. Boss fights were correct. As I activated one mod at a time, Red Werewolf was the the problem child.

Here is what I have found. Running the game in the "standard" difficulty with Red Werewolf doesn't work. I'm not sure if the 'Hardcore" mod was working right... I got a boss fight with a giant white bird. With Red Werewolf deactivated I can play the "normal" game just fine. With Red Werewolf, I run the "Reasonable Difficulty" mod and everything seems perfect so far. I have since played around with load order to get my desired graphical affect.

Current Load order: [Gameplay - Difficulty and Story], [Misc - CHaOS], [Battle Models-Weapons], [Battle Models-Characters], [Field Models-Characters,Enemies, and Objects], [Battle Models - Enemies], [World Models - Characters,Enemies, and Vehicles], [Menu-Backgrounds and Avatars], [Misc - Red Werewolf], [Animations], [Media - Music and Sound], [Battle Textures], [Menu Overhaul], [all the Minigames mods], [World Textures], [Spell Textures], [Field Textures], [Media - Movies]

Current System: AMD Phenom II x4 B55@4GHz, 8gig Ram, GTX 760, Windows 8.1

Started with Final Fantasy VII Steam Version as my base.
I tried the "Hardcore" difficulty mod and I'm not sure If I getting the right boss fights ore not. Giant Bird for the first fight in Shinra Building. Haven't tried any of the other "difficulty mods."
