Another "quick" update:
I got a lot done over the weekend and so far this week. I've given characters physical techniques with placeholder animations, so if there's an enemy that's resistant to magic, players will have high-damage physical attacks to use. Expect around 2 physical skills from each character by the end of part 1, each with some kind of variation to make that skill unique.
Spells do a lot more damage & cost more (4MP as opposed to 2MP), enemies have more HP to compensate, and give away a little bit more gold so players will have more flexibility when it comes to buying things (like Eths). The writing has been smoothed out in a lot of the key cut-scenes, and I'm trying to fix as many spelling/grammar errors as I can find.
One of Craze's final complaints in his LT series was the scene between Athesis & Sparrow right before Firam. I felt the dialogue itself in that scene is what hurt it the most, so 90% of it has been cut. It now focuses more on what the characters are doing rather than what they can say to each other. It's got more of a natural feeling behind the scene now, without giving off a forced vibe.
I finished the Isis Tower last night, which I know was one of the other major complaints (which Craze didn't even get to thankfully). Enemies are a lot easier to a certain degree (less status changing spells, etc) thanks to better spell/technique balancing. Expect a larger focus on enemy's strengths and weaknesses.
Overall, I'd say battles are a lot more fun! I'm finding it asier to grind characters to higher levels without running too low on items or whatever, and doesn't feel as much like a "chore."
TL;DR: HYPE HYPE HYPE
I've got this Friday-Saturday off, so I'll hopefully be able to get even more work done then if I don't get sucked into Skyrim. :x
