Antinomia: FF6

All right, the new WoR intro event is finally done in all of its branches.  Just like Celes's intro event, there's two different endings depending on whether or not Terra is successful in her chores, and I still had to code the "good" one.



But things go downhill from there either way when it turns out there's a nasty monster lurking around outside of town.



Terra's gotta solo this again, except this time she's expected to win, or at least chase it off, so Humbaba's stats and abilities have been nerfed a bit to make that possible (I removed 1000 Needles/Blow Fish from its moveset because that's just a dick move)



So, the next item on the agenda is... re-recruiting Celes, actually.  The WoR events are still happening as they did in the original game, it's just this time around the narrative focus was on a different character.  The only change is that I'm going to have Celes's raft wash up in Mobliz instead of outside of Albrook, and that'll kick of Terra leaving town like it did before.

But one thing I wanted to ask some thoughts on is what I should do about Cid's fate.  The fishing event didn't happen onscreen, so I just have to manually declare an outcome of that.  I was originally considering having Cid be dead by default, but then I thought maybe I should tie his fate to the outcome of Terra's rat-hunting event, except make it a Luzzu/Gatta scenario: Cid's fate is the opposite of whatever Terra's kid's is. One of them will die and your actions determine which. So your party setting out into the World of Ruin is always Sad Girl and Hopeful Girl, but the outcome determines who's who.
