Oh wow, is this what to expect for the next update? And did you design those? Great job if you did!

My colors look incredibly dull.. but if i go full screen and alt+tab and then reopen the window the colors are very vibrant for like half a second and then become dull again? I just installed the AWR core mod.

I think that's the intended effect as the AWR reshade is supposed to convey the dystopian, hopeless feeling of FFVI's world. You can test to see if this is simply what I'm describing above by pressing Tab within the game; doing so should toggle the effect on/off - if the colors still look weird when the ReShade is OFF then there might be something up with your graphics drivers.

If you like the brighter look of the Nostaligia pack you can also grab the SweetFX.cfg file from that particular install and overwrite the one in the actual FFVI directory. Alternatively you can tweak it yourself like I did here:

Very interesting. Does this mean that you can adjust damage values and ability properties? The one thing I'd like to see the desperation moves that occur 1/16 times when you use 'Attack' while at critical health have a higher % of landing.

It's based on the AWR Reshade, but I removed much of the desaturation to make the graphics look closer to the NOS branch, but not as warm and vibrant. I also reduced the scanlines a bit. Here's a video clip of the Reshade preset (note: contains minor spoilers!): https://www.dropbox.com/s/lx0a93lyv9vhdmu/FFVI%20AWR%20Custom%20ReShade.mp4?dl=0

Looks really nice! Thank you for that contribution!

And BTW, you guys NAILED IT with the Opera Scene score.

Hmm, I have Avira antivirus and before it would quarantine pretty much every .exe patch for FFVI until I asked Avira to stop. Could it be that whatever antivirus program you're using is auto-quarantining specifically that one patch?

I validated my files and reinstalled the mods, so we'll see how it goes from there. However, as far as the alternate Sabin Blitz mod goes, when I try to run it, it just deletes itself from my system. That's both what was already included with the manual installers and the one provided two posts up. Oh well, I guess I just won't use that one, but again, something worth mentioning.

Are you sure the alternate blitz HUD isn't showing up? At first I thought that it wasn't working on my end either, but after closer inspection I noticed that it came out as subtle "explosions" around Sabin's character as you input each button press.

Also, regarding Sabin's Blitz's: as long as you make sure the inputs are showing up on the screen you can perform them as slowly as you need. I have the Logitech F310 which has an awful dpad for fighting game precision, but I have been very successful performing Sabin's blitzes applying this measured approach.

I'm using the NOS music pack now, and I just had the battle music issue again. Now I'm positive it's not the mod. Just in case I have to have a clean reinstall to fix this, where exactly are the saves for this game? I know FF VIII's were in the My Documents folder somewhere, but that doesn't seem to be the case with VI.

If you do a clean install, your save files should still be there. I reinstalled FFVI due to AWR being released, and all my old saves from over a year ago were there.
