Alright, update on NT; I've a week's holiday coming up that starts after next week so that's almost certainly the time when 1.4 will be finished and released. I've been trickling time into it when I can, and now approaching the last areas of the game (about five left: Underwater Reactor, Ancient Forest, Gelnika, Midgar Raid, and Crater).
I've also got to go through the script and get that Yuffie flag swapped over for Aeris, tweak some of the new sidequests and events, then revise the Arrange AI. I'm probably just going to ditch the Original/Arrange naming because it's confusing; not sure what the replacements will be (suggestions welcome) but the new Arrange description will make it very clear that it is a harder version of the mod w/ a warning confirmation for both modes when selecting.
I'm just worried that people will default to it like last time if I call it 'Hard Mode' :I
But so far everything seems to be holding up. Enemy physical attacks fell away going into Disc 2 but I reinforced them and added some additional tricks to buffer them a bit; EXP gains scale much more sharply now so pushing into new areas should be much more rewarding than stopping to grind up (standard enemies give 7-8k, compared to about 2000 in Temple of the Ancients for an example).
So 28th for release, a mere month overdue
Sup guys, I Just started playing new threat 1.35 and its been flawless so far. I just realized that aerith has mp regen and ive been searching the forums to figure out what the other characters innate abilities are but to no avail. Can someone fill me in on that or maybe a link to some sort of official 1.35 changelog?
The 1.35 Innates are:
Cloud: Gains boost to Level when hit by magical damage, this raises phys/mag damage, increases Steal/Manip success, etc.
Barret: Gains defence if hit by a physical attack while in the back row, but gains Strength instead if he's in the front row (up to five stacks). He can't have two different stacks though, so gaining a defensive stack will revert all strength stacks to 0 and vice-versa.
Tifa: When Sense is used, she gains a Strength boost
Aeris: MP Regen
Red XIII: As the battle goes on, he slowly gains Attack and Magic up to a maximum of +30
Cait Sith: Rage System, if Morph is used on him while he is either under Poisoned, Silenced, Sadness, or Fury then an auto-AI will kick in with it's own special moveset. Silence has him use Mime, for instance.
Yuffie: If hit by physical damage, she'll gain 255% evasion until hit by magic.
Vincent: Innate immunity to Fire, Bolt, Poison, and Death status.
Cid: When critical HP, his Luck is doubled.
These innates are a bit shaky, though. A lot of them have been revised or changed completely for the upcoming 1.4 build.
That reminds me, I added new text that details a joining character's Innate ability but I'd better add that information somewhere it can be accessed at any time. Maybe Beginner's Hall, Junon's Respectable Inn, and a new guy on the Highwind itself.
