People on the FF6 Steam forum were complaining about how easy FF6 is so I told them about Brave New World...

...

ehhhhhh, it didn't go over well

> Brave New World is AWFUL. Zero balance. Your friend needs to take a few game design courses or something, because good lord, it is legitimately one of the worst RPG mods I have ever had the misfortune of trying. A mod should not have an optimal style of play that is SO optimal it puts everything else to absolute shame. I got 10 hours in and had already figured out how to break the balance. Locke, due to his ability to get mag+spd and have a high (actually working) evasion, makes him the best healer in the game. Sure, he won't heal for quite as much as the actual casters, but it will be 2x as fast, with almost 0% chance of taking physical damage. Any other character that can get mag+speed will outshine the physical characters by so much they become useless by level 50. Don't need high HP on Cyan or Edgar if you are almost never getting hit because evasion is so easy to stack.

Not to mention the dried meat. Ugh. Went through 500 of them leveling up in the first 10 hours of gameplay. Because sure, some of your characters are evading like crazy, but you WILL still get hit...for half of your hp by a random Leafer. Brave New World is awful, which is such a shame because it is very well-liked by a very small % of people, I went in with a lot of hope.
