Thanks, Squall!
I got into FFRK about two years ago, but I managed to successfully balance that with some hacking still. Then I got into FFBE, which really had me hooked at first because it presents itself more as a linear, plot driven game. But for the last couple of months, I found that I was much more interested in pulling new characters and wasting LOTS of time trying to (but usually failing) get the best ones. So I went on a two week vacation in October and had limited access to wifi at the time, and therefore didn't get to play. When I got back home, I realized that I really didn't miss being able to play FFBE, so that was that.
Anywho, I just finished removing the Monster level-up system from TfW. It was a pretty tedious process, but now that's all done. Of course, now I have to adjust all of the monsters in the game to an appropriate difficulty level. Many of them had their base stats turned WAY down because it was assumed that the player's level would be higher, so they would in turn be stronger. This'll probably be a considerable process, because I'll have to actually play through each section of the game several times in order to make the proper adjustments. Some of them - like Imps for example - I can probably just copy the stats from Vanilla, but there are a lot of monsters that I created from the ground up that will take more work.
Meanwhile, now that I'm back into the swing of things, my mind (as it does) keeps wandering into other innovations I'd like to try. I've long had this dream of completely hacking the Namingway routine to change it into a "PHS" (to borrow the term from FFVII) system. I imagine this would be extraordinarily complicated, but at the same time it could be a really fun exercise. No promises that I'll make any significant headway with that little diversion anytime soon, but the more I think about it the more infectious the idea becomes.
