FF6 Steam Version

I can't deny the fact that... yes that is very cool. Not to mention the fact that being PC based should allow for, well unlimited modding/hacking. (Basing this on the concept that by running on a PC it shouldn't have a hardware enforced upper limit, might have to be reprogrammed to use more hardware resources but shouldn't be a limit.) Hell, worst case could even go the "trainer" route, running another .exe to make even more things possible. There even exsist the possibility of going to the extreme and writing a whole new exe that loads the files (I did say extreme) which would literally enable anything to be done.

I didn't say simple or practical, just basing this on the flexibility of PC game modding in general. Thefact that the data is already partially mapped out because of the porting process changing so little just means the door to hacking it is already wide open. Nobody has to crawl in through the window first to unlock it from the inside.

On the other hand, this is about the same concept as the "FF6 SDK" project (actually, in the wide scope, probably even less limited that THAT project as well).

All that being said, here is what gets me: Do we really know the actual limit of the SNES version?

"We" being the community as a whole. Now yeah, you can call me flat out stubborn, maybe just old, but I know we haven't. Sure, there are limits, but I keep getting the feeling every one of them can be busted. In no way easier to do than if working with a PC version, but damn it! It can be done! ...

Okay really it just keeps pissing me off, every time I start going through the processes (snes version) and I know the answer, its right there on the edge of clear thought... then I lose it and end up with a basket full of dead ends. This part is hard to explain, and probably makes no sence in reading it, but it's true I tell ya!

The actual point to all my rambling is, I still want to know just how damn far the SNES system can be pushed. Sure, if someone had a full plan for a hack (the final product of the RotDS project for example) then sure, PC version might be the way to go because you wouldn't have to work around as many restrictions to get your final product. On the other side of things, I just happen to still be more interested in how far it can go on the snes base. Sure the kinda things I'm talking about (if completed) would almost make the SNES version, not an snes game anymore but I still know its possible.

So... yeah, PC version = Open doors. At the same time, I still get my jolly seeing all the walls knocked down on the SNES. Personal preferance I guess, but come on. What is really more fun/satisfing? Picking a weak lock and walking through a door, or busting through a brick wall, incredible Hulk style?
