FF6 "Choose your own Adventure" style

That upload is actually just an April Fools joke. Sorry to get your hopes up, but I'm not even close to close to done yet (or were you going along with the joke as well?). Now that it isn't April 1st anymore I should really edit that comment . I'm actually working on the opening cutscene right now, and I'm about 1/3 done that.

About winning or losing battles to make choices, I do plan on having choices like that in the game. I'm also planning on making those battles more difficult so that you actually have a larger chance of losing. However, these choices aren't too common; I didn't squeeze those types of outcomes in as often as I thought I might. I may be able to think of more ways to incorporate dying as I go along, but it will probably affect the short term more than the long term.
