Releases / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] New Threat Mod (v2.0.99994)

I'm finding myself a little split on NT 2.0.

I LOVE 1.5; it's FF7, the game we love, but with improved combat and tons of great added content. Some of that content could have been implemented more elegantly, or went just a bit too far, but it successfully created "FF7, but with extremely engaging gameplay and tons of new bosses."

I don't feel like that statement is true in 2.0. Type A is essentially the base game with the bosses given an overhaul, but missing all the added content, and Type B is a rearranged (but not necessarily better) game with improved (but seemingly not quite as engaging) gameplay and some (but missing some of the very good) added content from 1.5.

I feel like these are all too different to be the same mod. Ultimately the best experience I've had with these mods was with 1.5; the Kaiju fight between the guard scorpion and the dragon was unbelievably cool, for instance. I feel as though many people will hear about this mod and play 2.0, as the latest update just feels obvious to use, and those people won't have as good an experience as they would have with 1.5.

Not to be massively critical to the guy who made my favorite mod ever, 2.0 is still good of course, but is there any way that 2.0 could be made a different project? 1.5 is New Threat; 2.0 should be New Path, New Vision, or something of that nature.

Sorry if I'm being too critical, I just wanted to give honest feedback while it's in my mind.

Hey man, I hate to ask because I know it's probably been asked before so many times, but I'm having trouble finding an answer.

FF7: NT is my favorite game of all time. Is there any way to play it together with Satsuki's HD backgrounds and Ninostyle's character models? That would be like a dream game. If not, will this ever be possible in the future?

Thanks again, New Threat really is a masterpiece.

Releases / Edea sure is tough

I've been doing a casual playthrough, without a deep knowledge of FF8, and without either grinding or running away from many fights; a proper normal playthrough. I'm having a great time so far. The mod is amazing. The Brothers fight was perfect.

That said, I might need to restart. I'm at the Edea fight in deling city and it seems like losing this one results in a Game Over now. She opens up with maelstrom which severely weakens and slows the whole party, then I can't heal fast enough to keep up with all her turns and spells, especially since she's silencing people constantly with Astral Punch. This one might be impossible currently.

I haven't been stealing anything or seeking out many side quests or extra stuff up to this point. Diablos hasn't learned Mug yet. Maybe I'm underpowered.
