So I got myself super hyped for the FF7 remake and find myself back here to tide myself over until it's release. I just wanted to compliment the author of this mod, it's very good, after finishing vanilla the game doesn't have much to offer in terms of replayability, but this remedies that very well.
For now just a couple of comments, though maybe after I finish playing through I'll add more.
Dex. I feel like there's an early soft cap on the usefulness of this stat. Mainly there are a lot of animations that don't stop the ATB from charging, so once you get haste, dex barely ever gets you an extra turn because everyone's ATB will fully charge while you wait for animations to finish. I noticed when playing FF8 last year that that game fixes this fundamental problem of ATB, by stopping the ATB charge during all animations. I was kind of wondering if that were possible in this game? Assuming one had the motivation to do so. Alternatively, maybe nerf haste? I haven't got it yet in this playthrough, so if it's been changed since early last year then just disregard this comment.
Another, call it fundamental incompatibility between NT and the base game, as I see it, is the inability to reequip materia during battle. I feel like this is especially the case for physical characters, without elemental they have a hard time competing in terms of damage, but you can only have one element equipped at a time. As long as reequipping costs a turn, and you could only change one thing per turn, it probably wouldn't unbalance NT to much, but I'm assuming it's not possible to implement? As it is, the basic strategy is to go into a boss fight, use sense, then reload the game and properly equip your characters.
P.S. It took me 3 hours to figure out the were13 field model for red13 is incompatible with this mod, lol. Kind of sad, because it's really cool, I need to find a werecat field model for red that doesn't change the game stats. Also, for me at least, this was also the cause of innate abilities not working. Throwing this out there because there are several posts in the last couple of pages mentioning them.
