I have a bug when fighting the Platinum Match in the battle square... the enemy gets stuck in his turn doing nothing and thus I need to reset. It happened all the times I tried. Tifa was the party leader, maybe it has something to do with that?
edit: tried with cloud, same result
Does that happen with the scene hotfix applied (or is it the 7H version you're playing)? This issue was reported before but I can't remember if I patched it or not. I can get a patch made fairly quickly if not.
Is there any trick to not get hit by the breath release of the abyss?
I think it was you had to either inflict Darkness or Silence (probably Silence) after he's stored his breath to make him use Esuna Dance and lose all his stacks. It's a very opaque mechanic though so it's getting changed for the update.
Will we get "New Game +" with NT Mod 1.5 in 2 Weeks? (or in a later update)
I'm probably going to drop New Game+, the debug function I was hoping would reset the game doesn't do it properly and resetting every variable manually might not be feasible as the game has a lot of 'hidden' functions going on for the world map, etc. But I could always return to it and have a shot.
I like how you can play as Sephiroth in the Nibelheim flashback now ^.^
I would also like it if Tifa and that trooper were allies in the battles, or just the trooper.
Wouldn't be feasible unfortunately; the 7H version could handle it, but I'm trying to keep both that and the stand-alone installer version consistent with each other at least until the mod is finished.
