A complete overhaul of the game design—magic, skills, equipment, character growth tables, item drops and variety, enemy layout and attack patterns, you name it. I can no longer enjoy vanilla FF6 from a gameplay standpoint because this exists.
Fake edit: The general plot and map/level design remain unchanged, although the script has been altered to varying degrees of success/ineffectiveness.

Changelog is massive, but what the mod does best overall is differentiating characters. FF VII New Threat is also great at that but being based on FF VII you already have much more control in the first place.

Neat.
How far up the series do the references go? IV's a classic in Japan, Ultimecia from VIII is in as a secret boss, and IX and X in the very least get an outfit each... now i'm wondering about XI nods...

Brave New World is awful.
Awful is putting it lightly.

There are some great western FF6 hacks too, like Brave New World. Still, this looks great.

I think its a pretty amazing mechanical rework of the original game
Pretty sure I know what is disliked most about it though and I agree 100% and criticized them harshly for it

Way to ruin the game.
Huh, that's pretty cool.
Reminds me of those Romancing SaGa 3 hacks/patches I saw years and years ago.
(More specifically, the Bokuno and aabeta patches/hacks which adds a TON of stuff from from lot of the other SaGa games.)
Here's some videos of that:

I read a bit about Brave New World and thought it looked interesting; what's this part that deserves harsh criticism?

How can such an old game filled to the brim with content keeps getting stuff
thechristoph
Sir!
I download it every few versions and check it out but I always drop off before the floating continent, which is when it really gets different I understand.
The translation. It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. They just re-translated the game to modern times, including references to other FF games (Kefka saying spoony bard and Locke saying let's mosey, etc.) occasionally you may feel them injecting themselves into the mod (as most fan creations tend to do) but it's really not that bad. The game mechanics overhaul is amazing and any fan of FF6 should try it out.
I'm drawing a blank here. Who is Terra dress up as in the second-from-the-left?
Songstress Yuna, maybe?
Anyways, this is super neat. Especially since the original game is broken as all get out and stuff.
Not as a playable character from from what I've seen
He does appear as an optional boss in Kefka's Tower. If fought with Terra, he will give her a special item only usable by her that will allow her to use the Shock move.
Whoa! I was into this before but that sounds awesome.

I actually started playing and streaming T-Edition. It's pretty great and there's a lot of nice little QoL changes in there so far. Rage for Gau are automatically learned on encounter now instead of having to do the Leap -> Find him loop to get them. You can also see what skill will be used by him when you use it in the Abilities menu now.
The first major change that crops up was the event with Siegfried on the Phantom Train. It was changed to what it reminded everyone of, heh.
I can post again in this thread when I'm streaming it for anyone interested.

I skimmed your recording(thanks for that!), and it doesn't really seem that earth shaking... but interesting.

Any chance of being able to replace FF6 vanilla in my SNES classic with the T Edition?

So for a first time player should I delve into any of these mods or just play the vanilla?

I'm still early so it shouldn't be. However, the rebalancing and the additional stuff in major fights is pretty great. The opera fight with ultros having audience participation is genius as an example.
That'd probably depend on if there's something like what happened with the NES classic.

It's one of my favorite games ever, always start vanilla. It's a fantastic experience.

Don't knock it until you try it. I'm always down for more FFVI. See: BNW
I've really been enjoying your streams. I don't read Japanese, so I'll never be able to play through this on my own, but I love seeing the new content. You do a great job.

Brave New World is tedious and they ramped the difficulty up too much, to the point where you need to keep 99 potions in stock on any outing once you get past the Narshe Kefka fight. I don't mind a fair challenge, but in this case it's just annoying and not very balanced at all.
I didn't have much of a problem with the dialogue, but combat is no longer fun. I gave up once my second stock of 99 potions started running low (while fighting through Zozo the first time).
I'd like to try this new one though, if there's ever an English translation. To those who have tried it, did they mess with the difficulty much?

Does anyone who has tried this mod know whether it adds support for longer lists of items and higher values for boss life? For modders who aren't literally rewriting game code like they are, monsters for instance (even the end boss) are capped at two bytes, or 65535 life, and all you can do to make them tougher beyond that is give them innate Safe/Shell/Regen. It's kind of a crazy limitation in a game that lets you do 80k damage in a single move.
The other limitation, the item list, uses only one byte for a max of 255 items. Since they mention adding new items, and have clearly done a lot of impressive low level engine work, I wonder if they changed those limits.

You know what I'd like to see?
Right after the Floating Continent, the player should get to choose a character, not unlike the earlier "Choose a Scenario" section. I mean, in the original game, the player gets stuck controlling a character who is in a coma for a year.
Imagine getting to control Relm, where you have to use your art skills to con your way into a mansion to save an esper.
Or you can choose Locke and spend a year training and improving your "Treasure Hunting" abilities so you can infiltrate a massive cave in search of Phoenix. Since it's a 2-party dungeon, maybe you befriend some lackey along the way that you end up sacrificing for the cause.
Edgar gets to gain the trust of a gang of thieves and take on a whole new personality.
Terra's story could be a Persona-like life sim in Miranda. With all those teens and adolescents in the town, there's bound to be some drama.
Or, of course, you could play as Strago and just say "fuck it" and join a cult.
So many options! It's always bummed me out that the designers force you to play the most boring one. It's so dull that even the only enemies you can fight kill themselves.

A wonderful case where saying "Deviant Art does better" is completely and wonderfully accurate.... What the hell is with the long monkey-arms?
