FFVI Worlds Collide

@Atmatek
I updated my previous post. I only noticed it was at the end of a page.

For names, I refer to player-specified names, like when the party first hears of a character.

I'd prefer a 'progression system' be optional. I wanted FFVI to be open ended from much earlier in the game when I played this game back in elementary school. The point of the mod is to have the open world goodness!

Brief commentary regarding a sorta-Very Hard run so far.

(The most notable part was giving all foes +10 levels and having their levels scale with the highest party member's level. We have x5 EXP and x20 AP because grinding is the least interesting part of the game.)

This has been slow going. Every new character effectively requires grinding to level 99 ASAP (and I prefer doing it outside the WoR Narshe classroom) with the right esper bonuses to avoid dying quickly. Some enemies have been weak, mostly bosses, but items, espers, and team stats have been major factors in getting us this far. SlamDancers and Tyrnosaurs have been the most difficult foes so far.

As someone who has played FFVI many times but who hasn't yet memorized every detail, I felt a bit overwhelmed initially as to where to go and what to do. Our 'team' started as Gau - my least favorite character due to his uncontrollability and possibly tied with Umaro for similar reasons - and Shadow joined in WoR Kohlingen. After that, it was hours of scouring towns and grinding at 20ish times normal speed to get the proper esper bonuses (Terrato, Odin, Raiden, and Zoneseek came early for us), and our team soon discovered that every new character started at a very low level - about 5 - and required similar treatment to be relevant in this world.

My reaction so far is mixed. I know I asked for difficult, but +10 levels over the party's highest level is asking for a slow game. I didn't realize how slow until I tried it.

Thankee, though, for this mod!
