Barren, thank you as always for your videos. You do a wonderful job and they're always fun to watch.
Neophyte, thanks for giving KO a playthrough! I definitely agree that CCP is for those who are looking for something zany, crazy, and over-the-top fun. CCP does a ton of fun things, and, frankly, the fact that not everything is balanced makes it even more fun, IMO.
KO is a more "serious" patch, by its very definition of being. KO was never meant to be extraordinary, break ground, be particularly creative, or over-the-top. KO is intended to be subtle, like a sharp knife to the gut that you don't feel until you're already bleeding out. For players who've only experienced Vanilla FFT, the new changes are enough to go "wow, that's cool!", but in such a way that it doesn't deviate from Vanilla's feel. In fact, many changes are so subtle that unless you're intimately familiar with FFT's mechanics, you wouldn't know they were there! For example, Protect/Shell lasting longer (making Priests and White Magic in general more viable), or monsters having Reactions other than Counter (making monsters more fun/viable and dangerous). I want KO to be the go-to Vanilla experience. Future updates will also (hopefully) have better descriptions and go more in-depth into FFT's mechanics in the hopes of being accessible to first-time FFT players as well. Sappy as it sounds, FFT was a big part of my childhood. Well, FFT and Castlevania: SotN. I want everyone to be able to experience it.
That is, perhaps, why I value input on KO more than anything, even if it's negative. I want the feedback of both experienced vets and newbies because, at the end of the day, I want KO to be fun for both groups.
