Final Fantasy VII: New Threat

Final Fantasy VII "New Threat" mod FAQ for http://www.twitch.tv/potatohandle

 --- Q: What is FFVII: New Threat? What platform are you playing on? ---
A: New Threat is a content mod for the PC versions of Final Fantasy VII created by Sega Chief. It contains new bosses, new story elements, and a rebalanced combat system. For more information check out the thread here: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=14938.0


 --- Q: What's with the character's names? ---
A: Names were chosen by the channel's subscribers before the playthrough began. Thanks guys! All names are now taken, but there will be more name choices for the next mod. \o/


 --- Q: What does the "____ edition" mean in the title? ---
A: It's just an on-going gag, each time I stream I make up and change what "edition" the stream is, usually something relevant to what's coming up in the game. It's just flavour text though, and has no bearing on the game or the mod.


 --- Q: Why does everyone have the "Sadness" debuff? ---
A: Sadness reduces damage received by 30% at the rather trivial cost of making your limit gauge fill up at half speed. I'll usually put this on in preparation for boss fights.


 --- Q: Why are you such a low level? Why don't you grind levels? ---
A: It may just seem my level is low because of the lower starting level, much tougher random encounters or rebalanced exp curve for the game. I'll be fighting encounters 'normally' as I come across them. Grinding levels is boring, finding new strats is hype. \o/
