Releases / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] New Threat Mod (v2.0.92)

Don't wanna rain on this parade too much seeing as 2.0 is in full swing and hugely popular already, but I gotta express my slight disappointment with 1.5's arrange mode. It is pitched as a more difficult version, but either my memory is super faulty from my normal playthrough or I've gotten a lot "better" because I honestly feel a bit bored with it. Only a few bosses/enemies have posed a threat big enough to warrant changing my setup despite using a lot of enemy away. Just beat diamond weapon and still no "spike", which I hope is coming soon. I ranked 1.5 normal mode as the second best mod I ever played and I only wished it was a bit harder, and arrange hasn't really done that so far. I wonder if 2.0's mode B will be more difficult?

I have played 1.2 Normal, 1.4 Normal, and 1.5 Arranged. I agreed with you about 1.5 Arranged not being as difficult as I expected, but it's important to keep in mind that this isn't a hardcore mod. Having already been acclimated to the Materia changes and Innates, it's very likely you and I just knew the game well enough to make our way through without trouble. That said, I can safely say that Type B Hard Mode has been a delight. I have to think my way through every boss encounter, and not knowing what's coming from every boss has reinvigorated my love for the mod. It almost feels like a brand new game. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you try Type B Hard Mode.
