Finally finished everything in 1.5 arrange mode.  All in all a very fantastic mod, the difficulty scaling was really quite good, and while you still break the game in half the moment you get to disc 3, it's basically expected of a jrpg's difficulty to become trivialized that far in.  A lot of great ideas, including materia access, the characters' individuality in level ups, all the weapon changes, damage formulas, etc.  Really very satisfied with the mod; gave a nice, fresh experience to a FF7 playthrough.  I also appreciated how strong my girl Yuffie gets the moment you snag her Conformer.  Thanks for all your hard work, Sega and co.

That's an Arrange-specific battle that replaces Bottomswell on that mode; the Frog status is a problem as there's no status healing items for it by that point of the game so that'll be taken off his attacks in the next patch.

Alright thanks, good to know I wasn't overlooking something.  I did manage to beat him, the only problem was it required some grinding to get Aeris her Planet Protector limit and to get enough AP to have bolt 2.  If you manage to get Peerless up right at the start of the battle, you can sorta blitzkrieg him down so you can completely skip his frog casting/tail whipping stage.  Also was this the intended reward or did you accidentally add a zero or something?

Haven't played this mod in a long time so I thought I'd do a fresh playthrough on 1.5 arrange.  I don't remember ever having trouble with the Bottomswell fight before, but this guy seems like he can't be poisoned, confused, paralyzed, silenced, or even slowed.  Inflicting fury works alright, but there doesn't seem to be many options available to you if Aeris gets turned into a frog, since your only access to a frog cure seems to be her level 2 limit (couldn't find any item or materia for it up to this point) and a single random vaccine I picked up somewhere.  Pretty unexpected difficulty spike, unless I'm missing something.

Still, great mod.  Lots of fun.
