Releases / Re: [FF7PC-98/Steam] New Threat Mod (v2.0.999992)

Thank you for the new threat mod. Im sorry if this has been asked before but I wondered what your thought was on removing two of the main plot elements of the opening midgar section of the game, the sector 7 plate falling and the honeybee inn/cloud disguise sections?
I am not completely against it but it felt like the midgar section was a bit short. But I wondered if your intention was to speed up this section of the game that many of us have replayed many times and is quite linear to get to the open world. That would make sense to me.
Theres plenty of reasons to want to change the honeybee inn section but I do think that Tifa going out on her own to get info from don corneo does make sense for her personality. Removing the awkward climbing section is probably a good choice because it never really made a lot of sense in the original. Remake did a good job of making it a more natural climb through he rubble but thats a lot more work than a mod like this could undertake.
I do think that the plate falling is a key story element because it gives the characters a strong motivation to hate shinra and it makes more sense that the turks would kidnap aerith than tifa. Not to mention that it makes the boardroom discussion later in the shinra HQ a bit awkward.
One thing I think the original script could be improved upon is that the angle where shinra blames the plate attack on avalanche is never really elaborated on that much because it would make them villains to most of the city/world that believes the shinra story.
A new side quest in the shinra HQ where the party works with the Midgar Mayor to clear their name and expose the truth about the shinra dropping the plate and killing all those people might be interesting. And since President Shinra dies shortly after, Rufus could blame his father for the decision and avoid his image being tarnished.
Just some impressions but I love the mod and want to try the 1.5 version also someday. Thanks.
