Congratulations for the first release! I tried the AWR, Nostalgia and Hybrid versions, and here are some of my thoughts on them.

- AWR vs. Nostalgia in general: I think both versions are splendid work of art. The AWR graphics look more creative, and the colorless style makes the game seem darker. The nostalgic graphics, on the other hand, look very lively, and aesthetically pleasing. If I played for pure visuals, then I'd probably choose AWR, but I think the nostalgic style suits the game better, and I think the AWR's Reshade dims the colors a bit too much.

- Sprites: AWR is different, but still beautifully done. Inside the game, though, I still prefer Terra with green hair, Celes with an armor and a cloak, etc. Therefore, nostalgic version wins.

- Reshade: for both, I'd like to remove the scanlines, because they mess the font and distort the image too much to my tastes. I tried to increase the CRTResolution setting a bit, and it made the filter look more pleasing to my eyes. Again, which one is better depends completely on your tastes: AWR for more artistic style, while Nostalgia version suits the game better, IMHO.

- Monsters and Espers: from what I've seen so far, they look great.

- Battlebacks: it was never explained what these are. Battle backgrounds?

- HUD and UI: It's good to see the mobile UI tweaked. I'm not sure if it's technically possible to implement, but it would be handy if you could use the mouse to give commands, since the UI was originally meant for touchscreens. For user-friendliness, I prefer to have character sprites showing in the battle HUD, not artwork. I also installed Sabin's Blitz UI package, since I find it very awkward if the game doesn't show any visual indicator that it has registered your button inputs.

- Font: I preferred the GBA font over the SNES font.

- OST: what is the difference between AWR and Nostalgia soundtracks? I noticed that AWR has the World of Balance overworld song from Distant Worlds, and the Opera House song from FFVI Piano Collections, but are there any other differences? I haven't played the two versions enough to decide which one's better. The orchestrated Opera was fantastic, even if the timing was a bit off, and much kudos to you for recreating Aria di Mezzo Carattere with a real singer!

Based on these thoughts, I think the Hybrid version (with Sabin's Blitz UI and the GBA font installed separately) is quite ideal for me. It has the nostalgic sprites and Reshade, but it contains all the new monster and Esper graphics. I still made two separate copies of the FFVI folder, one for AWR, one for Hybrid, so I can freely choose which version I want to play. For the manual installer, I'd appreciate it if you included installers with AWR - All PC Sprites and NOS - All PC Sprites for playable characters, so you wouldn't have to install all 14 character sprites one at a time.

EDIT: Bugs found:
- the Prelude music played in the Narshe battle school doesn't loop. I downloaded the hotfix and applied it to the AWR version, and it didn't fix the problem.

The language has been softened up since then in places.

That's funny, considering Nintendo wanted loads of text censored in the SNES version, such as references to death, killing, religion (Holy changed to Pearl, Fallen Angel changed to Fallen One etc), sexual references, and swearing.

Sorry for not noticing the problem about the Xbox Button prompts before. The script for the PS3 buttons works normally, but the Xbox 360 script doesn't. Therefore, until Krisan patches the mod, I created a temporary workaround:

Yep. I tried both. But only the Playstation one works. The XBOX one still run as if it working but in-game it's not.

Oh, looks like the Xbox script is badly bugged. For a temporary workaround, open the bat file with a text editor (such as NotePad), and find the line that says:

copy .\mod\Misc\system.win32.ps3 .\mod\Data\gui\resident\system.win32.imgb

Change it to:

copy .\mod\Misc\system.win32.360 .\mod\Data\gui\resident\system.win32.imgb

Save the file, then run the .bat again, and choose option 1. It will perform the same patching operation as for PS3 prompts, but using the Xbox 360 prompts instead. I tried it, and it worked for me.

how do i install this? where do i put the files i got from the zip file?

First get the FFVI Defilter patch by Nyxo, and extract the FFVI_Defilter.exe file into your FFVI main folder. Then get the FF6.dif file posted above, and place it in your FFVI main folder (the old .dif file included in Nyxo's patch doesn't work with the latest version of the game, so overwrite the old .dif file if you already have it). Finally, run FFVI_Defilter.exe to apply the defilter.

The Thirteenth Ark is protected with a password. What is the password for the rar archive?

Did you try these ones:

mega .nz/#!zAwyFIYZ!C3iUPzB92UWIqlzZqb6EsUH_MImfeDmyO6cZUCpIFgo
(With Border Fix - 1920x1080)

mega .nz/#!TB5wWZ4K!_qSeRmdGQO05ptqt5sq-OwOP6jfkNuAmpsjVE7aG6Zc
(With Border Fix - 1280x720)

I have the latest version, and they worked for me when I applied the mods today. Extract them to your FFVI directory, run the game, and press F11 to toggle the Reshade filter, and press F10 to turn on/off the border fix. Be sure to apply the Defilter patch too, since the game looked really bad with the vanilla bilinear filtering combined with the Reshade filter.

Here's some screenshots for comparison:

Link is dead and Defilter doesn't work anymore, as SqEnix updated FFVI.exe. Plus, ReShade's presets are not working anymore either.

The links can still be retrieved by quoting the original post. An updated defilter can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/app/382900/discussions/0/1692659135921811819/ Both mods seemed to work with the latest game update. The defiltered sprites look much better than the vanilla ones, and the Vibrant Reshade mod (with border fix) gives the graphics a darker tone.

Final Fantasy VI updated for me today, and the new version (build ID: 909716) broke Nyxo's mod, the one that removes bilinear filtering. Is the author still around and could update the defiltering mod to work with the latest version? Thanks!

I believe it's this issue: https://github.com/Albeoris/Memoria/issues/38 Apparently it has been fixed, but we'll have to wait until the next update to be able to play with the fix.

areas which in the original game tested the person's patience and sanity and were difficult depending on how prepared you were.

Guy, no offense, but if you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk it. ;) The Final Fantasy series hasn't had challenging dungeons that test your patience or sanity after the titles FF1-5. Arguably some parts of FF12 can be considered hard, and FFT has quite challenging battles, but out of the numbered FFs, the PSX titles (7-9) are among the easiest FFs in the series.
