FFVI: Divergent Paths
06-05-2021, 10:11 PM
I just finished a low-ish level run (just about everyone ended around level 17-18) for this hack on version 0.99.3.
First off, thank you so much, Power Panda, for all the hard work you put into this hack! I greatly enjoyed all the changes you made, both to the plot and to the game mechanics. FFVI was one of the first RPGs I ever played as a kid, and this hack made it feel like I was playing it for the first time again.
This hack was perfect for trying a low-ish or a low level run since everyone can now equip the Moogle Charm and it's available from the beginning of the game. Not sure if I missed them or if you added the additional Moogle Charms in a later version but having three charms for when the party splits up is nice. I ended up taking it off and re-equiping it whenever I switched parties, and of course I forgot to re-equip it more than once . The additional Esper bonuses & new spells helped out too.
Off the top of my head, the most challenging spots I remember were :
1) Trying to do enough damage to kill all the rodents in the timed event at the Opera House. Do the rodents move faster in this hack? I had more trouble than I remember trying to avoid them, but it could just be me though. Also, not being able to spam Auto Crossbow made it more of a challenge too.
2) The Ifrit/Shiva fight in the Magitek Lab & the crane bosses right after you leave.
3) The tentacle bosses in the Figaro Castle basement. If I were to do it over again I would have spent more time teaching spells to Edgar, Sabin, and Celes in WoB, and stocked up on more items while I still had access to the Veldt for Magic Points & GP.
4) The final boss gauntlet, with Kefka in particular. I think I ended up playing through it five or six times before I finally finished it. I know it's cheese but I ended up beating Kefka by
Thanks again!
