A patch to fix several critical bugs is now available, and a whole bunch of enhancements that I was hoping to save until Episode 3 will be included. Maybe it's for the better, though! Here's what's new in version 1.23:
-You can now collect Typelog text data found during random Splice missions. These can be reviewed from the main menu.
-Leader bonuses are in effect! Each character will grant a certain bonus to all allies in the fleet if he or she is leader. This effect is amplified at higher Ranks.
-The info ticker at the bottom of the battle screen is now bigger and easier to read. In addition, fleet leader bonuses will show up in parentheses.
-Most mission and all random Splice maps now have decidedly less plain battle backgrounds.
-"Fog" that obscures nodes on certain maps is now more varied and better fitting with less accidental overlap.
-There is now a short cutscene closing out the end of Episode 2.
-Removed the "Quit to Title" menu option that was causing map graphics to be permanently stuck on the screen.
-Weapon codes that would produce X-Type items will no longer crash the game.
-Getting a character to Rank 9 will no longer crash the game.
-Chac's recruitment quest should now be finishable past Episode 1.
You could probably have added a patch or something so that players don't have the redownload the whole game. 147MB is not something many people will be inclined to redownload again, you see.
Yeah I could have but I was pressed for time, plus there are a lot of new graphics and most of the size is in the RGSS anyway so it wouldn't be a huge difference.
