Today’s patch is but a fraction of what was intended to be released. The past couple of weeks have been crazy for all of us, and so development of the game has been scaled back significantly for the time being. Nonetheless, some work has been done to make the beginning of the game easier on the player, changes that are being implemented today.

In the past, players have voiced their frustration with the lack of an introductory combat tutorial, an omission to finally be done away with. Before venturing out on your first mission, Alexandra now will offer a short rundown of the central aspects of the battle system.

Furthermore, adjustments have been made to the coaching system, which now plays a short introduction to its benefits, and all active combat participants henceforth gain sympathy points every time a quest is completed. Winning them hearts just got a whole lot easier!

Changes as well as bug fixes can be found in the patch notes below:

• Before venturing out for the first time, Alexandra will offer the option to play through a tutorial explaining the basics of combat

• Clearing the normal difficulty setting of the game will unlock the selection of the nightmare difficulty setting. Nevertheless, this difficulty remains inaccessible until a later date
• Slightly adjusted the appearance of the world map in the area select screen
• Changed background of a quest in the Mountain area of the Investigation-type quests
• Changed background of the first 20 floors of the Tower-type quest

• Clearing any quest will raise the sympathy counter of every participating character by 5%
• Alexandra will give a quick overview of the Coaching system upon its first use by the player

• Changed battler graphic of the enemy Shredd in the Forest area

• Updated face bust of Eucreta
• Changed select dialogue

• Boss alert graphics received a light screen taint
• Urgent Mission type quests now use the regular boss alert graphic
• Updated credits

• Items shown to drop from enemies might not show in the battle results screen, which in turn may show wrong drop information

• Nightmare Difficulty (Implementation Phase)
