Insane Difficulty: Sega Chief - Viewing Profile - Insane Difficulty

Hey, I'm playing through this mod again, this time on 1.4, using the download link provided in this thread. I've finally gotten all the party members and there are inconsistencies between the innate abilities in the game and those listed in the readme.

Notably, Cid gain Barrier/MBarrier when hit, but the readme says he increases luck and Cait Sith slowly gains MP, but the readme says he sometimes restores HP. Also, I've never seen the game prompt when Red XIII reaches +50 str/mag, but it is possible that I haven't been in a battle that was long enough, so I'm not sure about that one.

Dark Cave is in 1.4, at least the IRO version that you install with 7th Heaven. There are a few bugs, but they're pretty deterministic - usually interacting with some miscellaneous stuff that isn't required and doesn't even have a reward. If you save often once you're in there, you'll be fine, but do make sure it's not over your main save since you can't get out without finishing it, and you won't be able to grind easily.

Came here to make a post about this very bug actually. I'm on the latest version ( I think ) and getting a hang at sandworms. I can just turn off battles to get through if I must, but I was hoping I wouldn't need to.

Greetings, really hyped to try your mod, looks to be up there with FFVI: BNW in terms of quality. However despite fishing for information here and on youtube, there are still a couple things I'd like to know before starting.

First of all, what's in store for the next update, and is it maybe worth it to wait it out before starting my first playthrough? Or is it still a ways off? I presume the current version is stable, however, with all the bells and whistles necessary to get the full experience?

You have a plethora of added content, it seems; however, if I was looking for a more "contained" experience, as in a more casual playthrough of the game without too much sidequesting and stuff, is the difficulty curve such that it's still manageable? I'll probably end up exploring most of the new stuff anyways but just out of curiosity.

On a related note, have you beefed up the final boss/done anything with ruby/emerald? I read somewhere that you've restricted stat-maxing so as to preserve a sense of challenge and decision making when it comes to character growth, which I think is freaking beautiful.. but surely you've adjusted the superbosses too to accommodate for this? I'm guessing the final boss still ends up being a pushover if you go for all that sidestuff however, haha..

On a more technical note, I read about soft caps happening at certain points and grinding for levels doesn't yield you any stats besides hp/mp(?). I like it, but if the rank-up system is dependent on your story progression, what then is the point of fighting random encounters besides for the money? (you can tell that I'm an overanalyzer)

Okay that turned out way too long. But hopefully you don't mind.

is this back in yet? its really the only thing stopping me from starting the mod. i'd hate to miss content by beating it before its even out.
