So I was running a play-test in anticipation of releasing the finalized version of this hack, and I've run into the following issues.  They will be (mostly) corrected with the next release and I expect that save files will be compatible (even save-states, unless already in a soft-lock).  Still, if you're playing through, watch out for the following:

(1) Do not stay at the inn in Kohlingen.
I moved an NPC for a scene in the World of Ruin, but he's standing in the way when you try to check in.  If you do, you'll softlock because your character will not walk around him.  In the next patch, he will be shifted down to be out of the way.

(2) If you haven't recruited Mog before Zozo, everybody who isn't in your party won't walk off properly.
I incorrectly set the caseword for the "if you need to change party members, go to Narshe" event, making it dependent entirely on whether Mog has been recruited or not.  I've removed that check (or rather made it redundant to avoid having to repoint the rest of the events in that block) in the next patch, so the characters will behave as intended.
Note that in the current version if you have Mog recruited the cast will behave as normal.
It won't softlock you, but it looks weird.  They all disappear after the reload.

(3) If you didn't take Mog to the opera, only talk to Celes from the right.
Again, there was a recruitment check that was placed in the wrong position, preventing the "move Locke to Celes's right side" code from executing.  I shifted the subroutine up to fix this in the next patch, but for now if you talk to her in the wrong position the game will soft-lock (because Locke won't be able to complete his walkaway animation).

(4) If you fail the opera with Mog in your party, he'll spawn at entrances and block doorways until you start the opera again.
I forgot to "Hide Actor $0A" in the opera cleanup subroutine.  This has been corrected in the next patch.
Mog may even trap you this way, but if you move away from the door and open a menu, he'll refresh to your new position and you can get around him.  Alternatively, setting Mog as your leader will prevent him from prop-appearing while he's the character on screen.

(5) Ultros eats Fenix Downs
If you try to use a fenix down across the stage during the Ultros fight, it will do nothing.
I... don't know why this is.  It's not a side attack bug because they work across the battlefield in other fights.  This bug occurred for me when Mog was the fighter on the left; I don't recall encountering it with other groups but the fight didn't last nearly as long in those instances.

(6) Celes will back up for Locke to jump aboard before Mog climbs onto the Blackjack
This isn't a bug, it's just a fluke regarding the way I inserted Mog into this scene.  To make it easier I added his check last and fixed him to the right position (rather than being on the right unless it was Mog and Gau).  As a result, he always climbs in after Celes backs away.

That's it for bugs in 2_134 so far; I'll let you know if I encounter more.  The next phase of testing involves playing twice from Narshe, once with Biggs recruited and once without.

EDIT:
(7) You can skip chasing down the dream stooges
But... even after they're destroyed they'll still say "Back off!" if you approach where they were.  The skip hasn't been removed, but their lingering echoes have been.  This has the potential to make Crazy Stairs go very quickly if you're speeding through, but you may want to explore the area anyway, you'll miss some good stuff if you don't.

(8) [BIG!] If you did not recruit Biggs in the World of Balance, you MUST make sure Mog is in slot 1 of the party when you talk to him.
I didn't set up this event properly.  If Mog is not party member 1, your entire party will disappear during the cutscene, and opening the menu will place you on an incorrect version of the previous room, where you will be soft-locked (you might be able to warp out, but I wouldn't trust there isn't something else going bad in this scenario).  This bug slipped my gaze because I always put Mog in the lead when he's in my party.  It was actually a fluke that I found it.  I've fixed it for the next patch, but I need to make sure the patch didn't mess with the alternative (Biggs recruited in the World of Balance).  Which... means playing through half the game again, whee!

(9) Something weird will happen if you take Relm and Strago to rescue Banon
If both Relm and Strago are in your party, they will trigger the 'Welcome Home Thamasa' event during one of Banon's events.  While this will not softlock your game, it looks really silly.  I've fixed this in the next patch by removing all party members except Locke from the active party when Banon is rescued.

(10) Banon stands in weird places around the world after the Floating Continent rises
This is because putting Party 5 on Mog's Explanation doesn't actually hide them like I thought it did!  If you change your party, Banon will be hidden correctly and will stop standing in weird places around the world.
A similar glitch likely exists for Mog post-Magitek Factory.  I applied a comparable fix and I'm just going to assume it fixed the problem.
And that's it for my playthrough; going to release the finalized version of the patch sometime soon.
