I've been progressing little by little. I forgot how many things to do are on the World of Ruin.
Overall I am having a good time, although I did forget how FF6 can stall a bit as you have to train many characters both to raise Levels and learn Spells (and I'm not even teaching all Spells to every character, I never do that). This hack's modified script is probably my favourite one of the ones I tried by far. Feels very nice and in line with the game, pretty balanced I think, although of course I'm still not finished.
The difficulty in the World of Ruin is a bit of a rollecoaster, places like Phoenix Cave or Doma's Dream sequence really handed it to me until I got a bit more careful (taking Gau to Doma was a baaad idea), while others were pretty easy; but the game becomes such an open-ended affair that the experience is going to vary a lot from player to player not just depending on the party but also the order you choose to do things. With that said, some bosses I found a bit too easy, or I guess over a bit too soon compared to the challenge normal enemies in those same places were, but that could just be me.
I haven't tried my luck with the Dragons yet after my first attempt blew me in tiny, tiny pieces, which took me by surprise but I was also weirdly happy about. I wanted to ask, at which Levels it'd be good start taking them on?
So yeah, enjoying quite a bit. I'm missing the Stat Up bonuses much less than I expected, even if I liked to turn some Characters into other archtypes for fun back in the day.
One tiny glitch I saw. If you play with Mog in the first slot in Owzer's Mansion when it's dark, his palette seems weird. No other character seems to have that, so I gess it's not intentional.
Thanks for your work on this!
