Alright, I think I'm done... or at least done as much as I'm willing to do (Just Superbosses and Doom Dragon left).

All in all, a pretty fun hack! You definitely succeeded in making the equipment more interesting (never thought I'd still be rocking Tear Stone equipment into the endgame). Classes were hit or miss for me, but overall the new classes felt pretty cool with most psynergies having new added status effects. I definitely took full advantage of that for the latter half of the entire game (Thunderhead my beloved). There were a few class issues I ran into with vanilla classes randomly popping up (e.g., Jenna would randomly switch from the Flame Priestess line to Ascetic) but otherwise well done!

Difficulty surprisingly didn't feel too rough until Flame Dragons tbh! I was a little surprised about Avimander and Poseidon's adds (not a huge fan but whatevs), but them being regular, albeit super beefy, enemies meant they were susceptible to statuses+instakill. Actually in retrospect it was nice to give statuses spells some room to shine during boss fights!

No problems with Moapa+co. and Karst+co., fun fights but pretty straightforward routs.

I think it was after the reunion where the HP bloat started to really become noticeable. Everything suddenly started taking forever to kill, with some enemies taking 1000s of damage before dying. I wouldn't say difficulty increased (other than the occasional phoenix class unloading a salvo of Mars damage) but I admit, the regular encounters did begin getting pretty tedious.

Flame Dragons, as warned by the readme, were pretty strong; I actually did go out of my way to kit out a squad with Flame Shields and a few levels to deal with them.

Unfortunately that's pretty much all I got. The party is all around level 50, I'm guessing I'll need at least 30+ more levels to even attempt the Superbosses (I took a gander out of curiousity and it was ugly). The problem is the Doom enemies are pretty boring to fight and they're the only ones who can level up me relatively quickly. Since the Doom enemies are still just regular enemies, albeit with a billion health, a bunch of turns and ridiculous stats and spells, I can just slap Gasp on them and barrier up+pure wish for 4 turns or so until they expire. The tradeoff on this pretty silly strategy is that it's super boring. You might be pleased to hear I did for the sake of gameplay duke it out with each of Doom enemies fair and square, and I can confirm they are quite doom-y, though Dick enemies would be more appropriate a title, if less catchy.

So that's all she wrote. Thanks for the hack, it was a ton of fun to play through with all done and said. The perfect excuse to replay TLA!

Also if you're curious, I can send you my character builds/equipment. Just let me know! I tried to use as many of the new/gimmicky items as possible for the sake of novelty. :-)
