I saw this post yesterday and thought 'I must comment to express how delighted I am to be specifically named as a FFVIII girlie,' and then I didn't have time because I was too busy writing Final Fantasy VIII fanfiction. Alas, I am too much of a FFVIII girlie and it gets in my way sometimes.
The mod sounds interesting! I think I'd probably struggle to handle it; I'm okay at coping with changes in the remake, because you can tell at a glance that it's a different thing, but playing a game that looks familiar but doesn't play out quite the way I'm expecting would be really disconcerting to me.
Especially if they cut the Sector 7 pillar destruction and crossdressing Cloud; outrageous! You can't just snip out the two most memorable parts of the Midgar sequence! Not unless you replace them with something equally striking, at least, and it doesn't sound like this mod has managed that.
The changes to combat do sound interesting, though! I like the unique character abilities; that's a cool touch.
If I were tasked with making my own fannish FFVII canon divergence game I would probably forget all restraint and have fifty ridiculously iddy sequences of Cloud being terrified and pathetic in his own head

Please make this game.
