A Different Sort of Kefka Hack

To me, it seems that hacks that are too ambitious have trouble getting made at all.

This is accurate for new people that don't have an idea of the limitation of the game or that doesn't fully realize what their ideas implies as code change. When I started playing with FF6, I did small events and then tried a song composition to finally move to coding. Being at ease in these departments will help you get an ambitious hack done, but regardless if you're new or not, an ambitious hack will take you months/years to complete. People often get discouraged by what their ideas implies or think they can get the job done in 30 days.
