More or less, this is a model change for the main cast, major enemies, and very important NPCs, an enforced job mod, and a rewrite of the story that changes certain aspects.
Ie, enemy stats, making new bosses, making bosses weak to certain characters, thus ensuring you need to use other characters, introducing new items, etc.
as for the final thing, Its going to be a patcher that puts it in, and if you want to change it, just keep a backup, since the uninstaller would just change all the files back to the initial install settings.
And this is a basic list of what was done:
-Models-
-Battle-
-done-
Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aeris, Vlakorados, Yuffie, Sephiroth (playable) Rufus, Enemy soldiers.
-to do-
Cid, Vincent, Cait Sith + others
-Field-
main cast
-done-
Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Aeris, Vlakorados, Yuffie, Sephiroth (playable)
---
NPCs
Jessie, Biggs, Wedge, Rufus, Zack, Hojo, Elite soldier
-to do-
many, many more.
but, since it makes it an enforced class mod, there is no more materia, but natural materia you find is being changed into special items and other finds, ie, 1500 gil near the second boss which is really recommended that you buy some items with it.
boss examples.
one of the characters has def ignoring magic, and a boss is going to have insanely high defence, and levelling until you can beat him WITHOUT that character is going to make you around 12 levels above the recommended level.
but, other aspects, ie, sector 7 pillar fight, will be made harder and you'll have a time limit to win it.
as for the percentage, I'm going to try making 2 main releases, the first one will more than likely just be the new models and the enforced class system, and the final one will have the complete story experience.
