A1: It has been quite fine actually! The Expanding Narshe battlefield I managed to pull without the soldiers at the bottom glitching or anything. Ever since I started the clean ROM I've not had any issues I've not been able to pinpoint.

A2: That depends on how much can I work with it. With studies taking away a great deal ot time I'd otherwise spend hacking, I can't say an exact date, but honestly I wouldn't expect even the first completed pre-alpha in two or three years...

A3: So far I have planned to have at least the World of Balance going through the same events with new twists (at the opera house, the owner of the airship accepts a ride if the performance is good and stuff). I may (if I get any good ideas) change some of the flow of certain events, but nothing like CoV levels.
The world of Ruin on the other hand I did want to make slighty more linear, I'll give you that, but that's only if I get enough experience to get there.
