Description:
This hack alters events of the game so that General Leo joins the party after the events at Thamasa in the World of Balance. The story has been tweaked in various ways so that this development makes sense in context. Shadow is demoted to “guest character” status in order to make room for Leo.
General Leo is a fully-realized party member. His equipment can be changed, he can use Espers to learn spells, he has a unique Desperation Attack, there are no graphical glitches when he rides a Chocobo or Magitek Armor, he has his own scenario for rejoining the party in the World of Ruin, and he has his own scene during the ending.
Other changes include: new scenes and more screen time for minor characters, many new equipment items, the restoration of the dummied rages, modified shops and treasure chest contents, and more.
We are currently on Version 4.0, the ninth release of this hack. This release is an entirely new product created using the FF6Tools utility.
Thank you to everyone who tries the hack!

A great hack making a gamer's dream come true !
Reviewed By: Ligeia on 19 Nov 2014Just finished playing this hack, and it is just great, and does exactly what you expect it to do: promote General Leo from supporting cast to main cast. It is very well introduced and will allow you to replay the game with a fresh feel.
My only complaint is that the hacker sacrificed Shadow to make room for Leo, and while I understand the technical reasons for doing so, I would have rather replaced Strago or Relm (Relm dying instead of Leo could even have served as a great new development for Shadow).
Go and play it now !
