Hello, I'm currently playing 1.35. I must say I like how you redesigned it, and you are for sure a genius. I haven't gone that far yet so I'll repost later about my experience.
Also I've tested with & without .exe patch. I really don't like the .exe patch because the rework of materias force you into a dps + tank + mage team while without patch (playing in Advance tho) still allows you to go with a hybrid team where any member can go both STR/MAG (Cloud + Yuffie + Nananki for example). I'll retry later as well when I'll be further in the game but for the moment I feel like the .exe patch forces me into specific teams while Advance let me with a lot of combinations open.
I'm mainly posting because I have a question about the DeathBlow materia. According to your 1.35 database it should be found in Sector 7 where I didn't find it at all. So I wanted to know if I missed it and need to restart a game or if the database is wrong and I get it somewhere else. Also after digging a bit I found that DB materia was on Tifa in 1.2 when "recruiting her" which isn't the case in 1.35 so :
- Was it on Tifa and you just changed location from "Tifa" to "Sector 7" in the database which is where we got Tifa but have relocated the materia somewhere else and then the database isn't correct
- Is the materia still on Tifa when you recruit her and I didn't get it (mostly a bug then ?)
- Is the materia really located in sector 7 and I missed it ?
Anyway, you did a great job there and I can't wait to see what you planned for 1.4 & 1.5
