First: Don't use FexTracker. Especially not for a project like Pale Cocoon.
Second: Upgrade. Try out the newest betas of Aegisub. I think you'll like the new drawing tools available.

If you're not under any time pressure I'd go for it. When it comes to deadlines you need to draw a line somewhere though.

Sans deadlines, it comes down to what you want your user base to see. Hint: Most people don't mind simple typesetting. That said, most of those I know who fansub do it to their expectations (which tend to be significantly higher) and not to the typical viewer's.

Now, assuming you want to do it, you could certainly give it a shot in ASS. Note that the text there isn't sharpened; I'd make use of \be -- maybe even OverLua can help you there? Given the sheer amount of animation to the user interfaces throughout Pale Cocoon, though, I can guarantee that it would take some time to perfect.

If you have access to one, an NLE with a reliable motion tracker might be better.
