You should've mentioned to put the "Vanilla New World"-patch on top of BNW or else your game is bloated with retarded pop-culture references (see pic related; the VNW patch removes most of them, but still keeps some that I personally didn't mind too much, though there was some kid NPC that said "derp" with was a pretty retarded thing to keep in imo).
Oh, and BNW isn't really a hardtype patch, it just balances lots of things and makes FF6 just as "difficult" as most other JRPGs; after all, FF6 is notorious for being simple and exploitable. An actual hardtype patch would be something like this: http://ngplus.net/index.php?/forums/topic/194-nowea-hard-type/ (rar password is cupcakes, in case anyone wants to play with it and doesn't want to bother having to play through BNW first). Although no FF game is seriously challenging and no FF hack I have ever played really made it challenging. The only FF hack, which I have played, that ever really came close would have to be Void Divergence for FF5, but that's only because it implemented a lot of systems from other games and radically changed the system of the game (LP for enemies (mainly bosses), no more ATB, field elements, !Brave, much more customizability, more jobs, etc.).

>Shame I think the updates stopped in 2019
I believe he moved on to FF4 T-Edition (and DQ4 T-Edition) but those also haven't received any updates since 2019. It seems like people have generally stopped working on these larger hacks: FF5r has been stuck on version 1.4 since forever, at this point, and the Bokuno hack also hasn't been updated since 2019, although the creator of it still shows some sort of activity, unlike Tsushiy, who hasn't said anything since. While this inactivity may be good for translators, as they now can finally work on translating it without having to rewrite everything due to a new version being released, I highly doubt anyone will pick up these other hacks. It's a miracle that they even decided to translate T-Edition (and that's probably only due to how well documented and popular FF6 hacking is compared to Romancing SaGa 3, for instance). Still, I wouldn't mind an update for T-Edition: EX mode could still be a bit more fleshed out and there could maybe be some secret boss (or just some kind of reward aside from a few paintings) you unlock once you beat all EX mode ones (something like this https://youtu.be/MzH7QStySok?t=57 maybe).
All in all, the hack already is extremely fleshed out and much better than BNW. Funnily enough, they both started development around the same time, and BNW is still trash. Probably because the author of it spent 99% of that time adding stupid references (see pic related, he was so proud of all of these shit references that he put them all into a text document you gain access to once you've beaten it once) to the game.
