FF6 - Brave New World

Sup. Registered just for this thread, have been playing the mod since last night. Learned about it through a stream that spoiled the Celes events at the end of the WoB,

Ah, you caught it on the Betus Beat, I take it.

so I was curious what would happen if you had Kutan instead for that sequence.

Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. Glitching in Kutan does nothing except make Celes much more aggravating to play as in this mod or any other version

Just finished doing the Kutan glitch in Locke's path after already finishing the other two routes, was kinda surprised that the boss at the end of the scenario was fairly easily solo'd - I used the Thunder Rod, then a few rounds of physical attacks saw a fairly easy victory.

That much will eventually change. The mod wasn't designed to rape players right out of the gate, but it will get much more annoying later on to have a gimped Celes.

(Was everything else in the basement chests so bad in vanilla FF6, btw? Now the gear down there is the same as what Terra starts the game with).

That's been changed. I made an active attempt to make the player actually shop for equipment in this mod, which is pointless if you can outfit your party entirely out of treasure chests. The basement chests are now only useful if you don't have anything else to equip Celes with.

On the subject of Tek Rider, he really likes to spam Sleep,

Sleep is on a timer, and so it gets used every 20 or 30 (I forget which) seconds.

I don't recall seeing BB react on a Drill hit, but I was using the fast forward button to skip waiting so I may have missed it

Y'know, now that you mention it, I have absolutely no idea whether or not a "special" physical attack can trigger a BB counter.

I feel Locke can solo Tek Rider much more easily than you intended.

Not really. It's little more than a tutorial battle, and it's even very possible to beat without Runic. The difficulty doesn't really start to ramp up until after the Battle of Narshe.
