I'm currently going through this hack myself. I'm nearly done with Ayn's quest (and plan to finish Nial's before moving on to any Third Generation character) and I'm really enjoying it so far. The more fleshed out dialogue is the main draw for me, but the rest of the changes are quite nice, too. It does seem a tad harder than vanilla PSIII, but it has also been a while since I played the original, so it could be placebo for all I know.
A warning for anyone who wishes to play the hack with the Fast Walking addendum: Do not try to cure poisoned characters by talking to the woman on the second floor of cleric buildings. Attempting to do so causes the screen to turn black and wipes your saves!!! Luckily, I discovered this just 10 minutes into my playthrough, so I wasn't too miffed about having to restart the game, but it's something to be aware of. I sent a PM to the author of the addendum to inform them of this (hopefully they're able to figure out the cause) and ended up reverting to the standard General Improvement hack with the painfully slow stock walking speed to avoid any other potential issues. I'm playing via an Everdrive cart on an Analogue Mega SG, so sadly, I can't take advantage of fast forwarding; but I'm considering switching back to the fast walking version and regularly creating save states in case something else deletes the game's SRAM file.
