Got to Thamasa. The game got a lot easier after getting magicite. Dadaluma has by far been the toughest boss for me so far. Though I suspect that will change once I go to the floating continent/world of ruin lol

The difficulty goes up and down as you progress. The Southern Continent is actually seen as a massive difficulty spike because I expect players to actually USE the shiny new toys they were given and they tend to want to hoard their MP and just rely on their regular skills.

Is there a recommended order of WoR stuff? Or rather, have some things changed in BNW that make the general order of difficulty different than in the original game?

edit: OH, and I have to comment because I keep forgetting, I really appreciate the change of making most of the difficult/hidden to find chests only contain gil and not super important missable gear or accessories. I know where most of the stuff is, but for newer players that's a really neat fix to make sure they don't miss anything great

I still try to lead the player in vanilla order. The short answer is that I expect the player to get everyone back before doing the optional stuff (Cyan's Dream, Ancient Castle, Ebot's Rock, and Fanatic's Tower).

Got everyone except locke, unless I'm forgetting someone. Dreading the Phoenix cave because I always hated it in the original. Might go around and try to do some other stuff first or kill a dragon or something. Hate you, Phoenix Cave

People hate on the Phoenix Cave way too much. Part of me feels like the only reason people have such bad memories of it is that it's the only area besides Kefka's Tower where at least one party can't Moogle Charm its way through.

straight hp/mp I think and maybe 2 levels of stamina or magic or whatever his other stats were

and his goal is basically: seraph for reraise -> regen x -> cure dudes

sabin full hp vigor and: golem -> bum rush (or attacking). float before the fights

mog: almost full hp from terrato (can't remember other stats: dance forest for healing/status healing and palidor if I'm bored (I like how peoples moves they had ready go off right when they land)

umaro: punch stuff

had rr up the entire fight, was never blinded, and the only person that was stoned was relm (and i left her stoned the entire fight as a kind of pseudo-tank)

I'm going to try again and I'll let you know. Don't go searching for problems just yet, I might just be losing my mind.

I mean, it's more of a challenge then vanilla because vanilla was piss easy. We seek to avoid the "difficulty hack" label, though, because I feel that the prevalence of "kaizo"-style hacks has largely stigmatized the medium as a whole. Brave New World is difficult, but it's fair difficulty, or at least that's the aim. And it's certainly not as hard as something that actually intends to be a difficulty hack.
Is that why Shadow kept getting one shot when fighting ghost train?

Strago did indeed learn shield and black omen the second try on Hidon. Who knows!

Is there nice easy grind spot towards the end of the WoR? I have to do the fanatic's tower and I don't really have any magic characters leveled at all besides strago from the hidon stuff :x

Morph is permanent until manually reverted or Terra dies. It increases both her damage dealt and damage taken; the penalty for incoming damage is reduced by raising Terra's stamina.

If successful, Steal doesn't consume Locke's turn. Instead of EVERY enemy having a stealable item and making the player want to rob everyone, only humanoid targets carry items. There are no missable theft-exclusive items.

Rather than Edgar's tools being heavily front-loaded and largely redundant (i.e. Drill vs. Chainsaw), they're mroe spread out with more diverse effects. Ditto for Blitz.

The Bushido meter now actually fills at an acceptable speed and the ones that deal physical damage do so based on the power of Cyan's equipped weapon rather than not caring about it.

Tools, Blitz, Bushido, and Throw are all now actually affected by the blind status whereas they were not before (even with the evade bug fixed).

Setzer's slots are de-rigged so that they are now purely skill-based than RNG. A losing spin now heals more HP and is a poor man's version of Banon's health command.

The list goes on.
has anyone made a wiki or list on the changes, i am mainly interested in blitz and tools, ok?

And please seek help for the severe blunt force head trauma you seem to be suffering from. It does not seem healthy.
