One thing that I would like to see added to the game is the choice to skip all the tutorials that the old man insists on throwing at you. For those who gave your game a shot before, or even those who know how to battle and can figure out how to work with the orb menu on their own, this would help.
Yeah those are skippable now, a lot of people complained about that so now you can skip all tutorials in the game. If that's a wise disision that's an other question but they are skippable.
Most of the text of events are sped up as well, with the exeption of important conversations. But all systems in and outside battle have faster texts now.
These are the changes that are made now, if you think there need to be more you can send those in till begin april.
(the changes of skippable tutorials are already done in the previous version)
Temporary changes Final Version:• Added around 100 extra treasure chests in the whole game
• Nerfed the secret bosses a lot (even at most things maxed out they are really a pain in the ass now they are more doable)
• Removed the bug that the ribbon does not work.
• Improved dialogue and plot holes in some important events.
• Judas bullets nerfed. (Judas gun bullets can be really OP when you have a lot of money, so I nerfed the damage increases a bit)
• Removed some big bugs in the desert, like day and night bugs, also the music of walking trough day has changed, as well the tents are a bit adjusted.
• Increased orb exp pay-out on later levels. (this will take care that spells are learned much faster when you are on high levels)
• Non elemental spells who give increase on all orb elements now only give orb exp to the elements you have orbs equipped. This takes care that you cannot learn spells without having the orb of that element equipped.
• Now you don’t have to pick Vincent in a certain fight!
• Removed a bug that other characters benefit from the attack increase of Judas bullets.
Increased severely the toughness to cross the ice glacier with the following changes• Further decreased magic defense and defense on heat suits
• Heat suits now increase all ice attacks that are inflicted on u with 33%

• Added some extra treasures
• Temperature will be back to 37 when you touch a save point
But a good thing now is that you can see your temperature all the time.
• Reduced HP of most monsters in the game. (this to shorten the fights a bit, bosses stay unchanged though)
