Final Fantasy VI - T Edition... The Translation

Learning Japanese isn't a prerequisite to learning how to modify the ROM, was simply making a few inquiries. [EDIT : As I was keen on learning both simultaneously] I've since re-aligned my super lofty goals and am interested in making my own 8-10 hour scenario.

No worries though, still learning Japanese to simply play through T-Edition!

Another question though - Would it take heavy ASM hacking to have my mod start from a custom location / event? AKA could I skip the whole Narshe beginning and have my story start from the location I select with and have my custom events start playing? I assume this isn't something I can do with Zone Doctor, I would need some more in-depth hacking tools right?
