Releases / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] New Threat Mod (v1.4)
« on: 2017-06-15 17:42:33 »
Hi all, I just joined up today. After putting 50 hours into the FFVII Hardcore mod, which was brilliant to begin with but simply becomes ridiculous (is it even doable without other mods?), I decided to try the New Threat mod. Overall, I am somewhat impressed, although the whole Guard Scorpion/escape thing felt like a deliberate troll rather than an interesting challenge - this will probably be a nightmare on the "new game+" difficulty. I do like the re-ordered materia (we FINALLY get another attack which damages MP!), and the difficulty does feel appropriately balanced after the annoying Sector 1 escape. And the re-ordered battles with new enemies are pretty nicely done!
I do feel that I'm missing something. One of the features is to level characters up in a customised way. But my characters are all around level 16, and apart from HP and MP, their stats are all the same as at level 8. In fact, I think Cloud's stats are getting worse. The closest I've seen to a "custom build" character is to give them an utterly crappy piece of armour which boosts either strength or magic. And apparently there are no Source items in the game either.
So... what's going on? Where is this amazing character customisation? The sector 7 pillar has just collapsed, so I'm assuming there is a shop or character or ability which becomes available soon?
Oh, and also: do we really have to answer four security questions each time we make a post? Really?
